[SuperMaxx97]

I can't help you much as I only bash. But how do those 9.5 shocks hold the truck up? I just bought a set of 4 as well and I'm waiting for them to come in. Does it squat a lot or bottom out a lot?

Sorry I can't help, but I havn't seen much about what I just bought.

umm in a RC Car Action magazine there was a whole shock set up for a t-maxx... i think 80WT Losi shock oil and 1/8th scale OFNA white shocks... i will see if i can find the article later.

yea it did have the rustler tank. but i went one step up on my t-maxx, i put in a 1/8th scale 125cc buggy tank. then in my sportmaxx i got 2 stock t-maxx tanks.

Go to traxxas's home page and check out Slaydens tips for racing. I'm sure they will help you out alot on the track(unless ur already doing them).

Maxx trooper. i was wondering how you connected the two tanks and mounted them. i am puzzled to how you could do that...

 

[Maxx Trooper]

exhaust to pressure nipple of the front tank, fueal pick up in the front tank to the pressure nipple in the rear tank, then fromt he fuel pick up in the rear tank to the carb. the front tank basicly keeps filling the rear tank.
