Hey whats up everyone!!!

I just happened to run into a kid that was selling a Good
(on a poor good Best scale...hehe) for under 40 bucks... so why not!!!

Its totally stock and doesn't handle to save its life!!

What do i need to do to make it handle!!??

also i dont wanna drop mad $$ on it because i have a Jato, RS4 3 dirft and sedan, and I'm gettin a hellfire when the weather gets a bit better

I just really want the t maxx for bashing around the house and to take it off all the nasty big jumps first b4 my other trucks!! but its really hard to drive with hardly no steering at all...



any ideas
 
tear it appart and check for broken stuff. your steering servo or servo saver may be shot
 
You might also want to check the pivot ball caps on each hub, as well as the oil (or maybe lack there-of) in the shocks. Maybe also check all the sliders to make sure none are twisted/stripped out or missing pins.

Otherwise, you got a score dude! Did it include the radio?

Not possible, it is a T-Maxx


With that being said, the above mentioned is a good start. Tear it down completely, check for any broken or stripped screws, check the shock oils, rebuild them anyway while you are in them. Check the pivot ball screws, make sure they are adjusted properly. If it still has the 2055 steering servo with stock saver, replace it with something like a 645 and a kimbrough saver.
 
yeh i got everything from the radio to the ez start to the sketchy dvd hehe!!

good stuff thanks alot!!!

I'm gonna invest in:

new servo
new servo saver
new rims and tires What do you sugguest?
New Body
(Rear exhaust(if I'm feelin savy))
 
Tear it down before you go spending any money on it. You could have a blown bearing in the carriers or a blown shock that's sticking or some crazy toe/camber setting making it drive erratically.

Just my two cents....plus, skip the rear exhaust.
