I need some suspension guidence

[07busawannabe]

I've got a t-maxx 3.3. I recently added RPM upper/lower arms, and heavier springs to prep it for jumping. I still run the stock shocks. Well i took it to a local BMX track and after three jumps i broke a rear toe link. I would like to upgrade from stock, what should i get? are the traxxas red toe links any good? thanks

In reality bro it's difficult to make your truck bullet proof. Now when i first bought my truck that same night i busted the rear toe link. It's just some of those things that happens. Part of the fun is fixin the thing. I would go with the red one for the reason that they are thicker in diameter yet to mention they are lighter. My stock link i busted it in half where the thread starts. I say pay the couple extra dollars it's worth it. Months after i bought my red links and i put my maxx through a beating and the Links still hold their ground.

I would highly recommend for your money to buy a lunsford kit. But the Lunsford hingepins while your at it. They are titanium and I have never had or never heard anything bad happen to them.

Lunsford are expensive, but they are for a reason.

You could also switch to the RPM true track for the rear to eliminate the turnbuckles:

Then you only have to worry about the fronts.

Running RPM arms helps with the stock hinge pins as well, since the arms flex more and absorb a lot of the hit when you do hit something instead of transferring all that energy directly to the hingepin/bulkhead.

If I still had a maxx or revo, that would be the route I would take.

thanks to everyone for the info, i think i will try the titanium pieces!!

you could also try the RPM rear a-arm conversion. it eliminates the rear toes and locks the wheel at i think 1.5 degrees on each side. however if u want to keep the ability to adjust the angle that the wheel is held at then go with the titanium pieces.
here is a link to RPM's page http://www.rpmrcproducts.com/products/traxxas/MaxxPts3.htm#trutrack (about halfway down on that page; also they are cheaper on ebay or rcsuperstore.com)
