Well what the hell did you expect for 3 bucks! :p:
 
Looks like I am getting a TMAXX after all... Wonder if this is a 2.5 or a 3.3...maybe a 6.1 LITERS LOL
 
Your supposed to be sellin em, not buyin more of em.... lol
You have more diecast in your basement, than I have leaves in my yard...
 
First thing you're gonna want to do is upgrade the bulkheads. The stockers are crap. Get rid of reverse also. Don't forget about that crappy steering... oh jeez... you're gonna have 20 bucks in that thing before it's worth a poop. :D

GoDale, I still have a bad ass T-Maxx too, and I still enjoy it. It took a ton of $$$$ to get it there, which is one of the raesons I still have it, lol. But I still enjoy it. The rest of you are all just jealous cuz you all sold yours for sandwhich money, buncha haters :p:

My Man! LOL I am with you there. The TMaxx may not handle like the CRT, but man do I have one heck of a time just bashing around the yard with it.... which is what I bought it for so to me... money well spent..... alot of money!

Don't have one, but honestly, if I come across one on the cheap, I'll snap it up. I work on my brother's enough and actually enjoy wrenching on them and with all the after market parts out there, you can buld a trick truck.

I liken them to an Edsel. Ran like crap, but people still love 'em!
 
The Maxx has its nitch in the RC world. It may not be a racer, and it may need some TLC and a bit of cash to make it run better... But for what it was made for... one hell of a truck. MW... it like you said... there are so many hopup parts out there for it... the sky is the limit and I really do enjoy wrenching on it.


Tom
 
Mine is all hop up parts, I only have a very few parts left that are stock. Bumper supports, my weak ling between my bumpers and bulks, battery box, receiver box, and ummmmmmm, I think thats about it, lol. but it's a great basher truck now.
 
Yeah... I have replaced alot over the last couple of years although I have not put much into it since I got the Truggy. This winter however I want to change the diffs out and put at set of MIP CVD's in. I am not sure on what to replace the diffs with since you can't seal them.....
