lol i snapped a drive shaft in the back left. any suggestions also post you pics too. also notice the bent top a-arm on the front left... i have no clue how i did that.
i also need new bulkheads cause i have a bit of play in the top a-arms, still runs fine.

if your still running 2.5 spec shafts, then upgrading to 3.3 spec shafts should help, and wouldn't be that expensive.
 
yeah i plan on getting the 3.3 knuckles to go along with the a-arms thus causing me to have to upgrade to the 3.3 shafts, you can't see but i cut some screws and some old turn buckles to make extensions to the turnbuckles to make them reach for the time being, worked out alright.
 
Check out my build. Let me know if you have any questions!
 
heres my sportmaxx converted to t-maxx foward only.
i rammed it into a car tire at top speed in less than a week. it pancaked.
so i needed a new bocy and got the carbon fiber one. the engine runs around 400degrees F. i dont know why but it runs like a top! doesn't show any sighs of overheating and i have 3 gallons on it. (each gallon a different fuel lol:yes: ) its amazing how te thing still runs..if you look at the pics closely youll see some of my half-a$$ work

but your going to have to shrink the pics to no more than 800 x 600 or a mod will remove them
 
400 degrees!!! WOW! Thats a little hot. Most say 300f is way up there..

i dont know how to change them....unless i re postit....i just signed up here...there not too much bigger than 800x600

there fixed
 
any other suggestions on some mods?
 
so you think i should get rid of my rd logics arms.. i need different bulkheads to match up with those a-arms, because the top a-arms have some play, not really effecting much so i still bash with them.
 
Its really up to you... And I believe there are some little castor clips that go on the upper a-arm.
 
hmm that'd be cheaper than replacing the bulkheads..
 
I replaced pretty much every traxx-ass part on my maxx and I am finally happy with it...

I kept the Bumper mounts and body pins though......
 
do you want to post some pics?
 
I guess I can show off in yet another thread...I'm a Pimp to tha maxx......
