While upgrading your truck, which t-maxx parts did you find that DID not fit your magicwheel?

Ohh, and it looks like that place is next to a house in a neighorhood, is that a frozen lake?
 
no not a frozen lake. and nothing fit the on the chassis. new lower braces were also needed to fit the tranny. i got these parts to get it working. fuel tank. battery box, reciver box, clutch, mod the servo mounts and header. and i just got a new body for it. now my carb just fell off and the nut that holds it on is gone.

Didn't you just do this same post in the T-Maxx forum?

Yes, he did. And now the two have become one...and no more double posts from cozea will be tolerated. Hopefully I am clear on this.

What the hell is a magic wheel? Is that a knock off maxx?

I read about one awhile back, but didn't remember magic wheel being the name.

Yes, it is. This is the first I've heard of this thing in some while. We had a member a while back trying to get a whole bunch of people to buy them. We ended up not hearing anything more about whether this thing performed well or not. Here's an opportunity for someone with on (cozea) to hook us all up with the 411 on it.

The company that "makes" the truck is SmarTech.
It's a cheap knock-off of the T-Maxx...almost part for part. (Sorry, not trying to dog your ride or anything. I honestly hope you have a blast with it.)
There have been about 3 people that have come in the hobby store trying to get parts for it from the T-Maxx section. Most don't fit, which was why I asked him earlier what parts he's gotten to fit so far.
 
yeah I got it downloaded but my media player says it "encountered an unknown error" WTF?
 
Again IT STILL DOESN"T WORK FOR ME!! Please rub it in some more!!Lol. I have no friggin clue as to why this is doing this. I downloaded WMP 9 to be safe and no help there.
 
i called the company that makes the "magic wheel" and asked them how long it took them to copy the t-maxx, a little chinese guy said "i dont know goo bye" and hung up...
 
I had a Magic Wheel and converted it to T-Maxx myself: replaced chassis, chassis braces, battery & radio boxes, fuel tank and throttle servo mounts. The front & rear end fits like gloves but the bumper mounts won't fit stock T-Maxx bumpers, and the A-Arms are very short and can take 2.5 suspension easily. Also the axles and shafts needs to be changed too since they're too short.

That truck turned out from the cheapest piece of shyt to a truck more expensive than a stock T-Maxx then I sold it. :D

As far as I know, Traxxas sold the original T-Maxx design to Smartech and they changed the chassis design a little, but their quality is far worse than Traxxas' and Traxxas' is bad enough already.

Thems fightin words


:stickup: The magicwheel is definitly a cheap ass copy of the tmaxx. I Like my TMAXX a lot it is a lot of fun. quick not too sure on the durability but I will find out when I take her to the local motocross track.
 
i wanna know in yes/no form will the magic weel parts work on the old t-maxx (that i have) ??????????:help:
 
some will some wont. the a-arms will.(there actually stronger than stock t-maxx ones) and the tranny/diffs will bulkheads will and bumpers. everything on the chassis Wont. like the gas tank or battery box.
