My T-Maxx Setup - Need Opinions! w/pics

Here are some pics of my T-maxx that I just finished. Everything is very sturdy, although I have not taken it out yet because I'm waiting for my TigerDrive to come in the mail.

Here are the upgrades I have done so far
-Dynamite Fuel Filter
-Wasp .18 Engine
-Dynamite Inline Exhaust
-Sullivan TigerDrive Starter (coming in mail)
-Kimbrough 64T Spur Gear
-Trinity Aluminum Throttle Servo Mounts
-RPM Front and Rear Bumpers (rear not pictured)
-Forward Only Conversion
-Team Associated Metal Gear Steering Servo (111oz torque .20 sec)
-Venom 1200mah Reciever Pack
-Kimbrough Extra Tough Servo Saver (steering servo)
That is about it. Let me know what your opinions are on the project, and what I should do next. I have had a lot of fun building it, but I think it is going to be much more fun driving it :devious:
Later!

You sure found a different place to put things. Is there any special reason you rearranged nearly all the parts?

well i rearranged the throttle / brake servo so that I didn't have to use that stupid bellcrank anymore, so I had to put it in place of the fuel tank. The fuel tank went there, which made me move the rx too.

Looks similar to what I did on mine:

But, where's your battery?

I'd suggest some ACNCM bulks, front/rear and RCS spring steel skids front/rear. Other than that, not a bad rig at all! Good work

You should get some rpm arms, they are much stronger than stock

yea that is my next upgrade. I will get them as soon as these ones break

where's your battery?

underneath the switch, you can see it through all the zipties and wires. I have a connector coming out of there too so I can have easy access to charging it without removing the entire battery. by the way olds, what the heck happened to your truck?!

Also look into 4 UE shocks instead of the 8 stockers. Other that and rpm arm it looks great. Also maybe some better wheels and tires. I would reccomend 23mm, with the stock maxx size velocitys, with zombie maxx tires. The UE shocks are tough. mm hexas are awsome however 40 series wheels are too big on a maxx. Now they have stock size wheels which would solve that problem, and zombies are great for bashing.

Proline now has stock size 23mm wheels!? I have the UE shocks and can vouch for their toughness. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would say the same.

 

[jmarzilli]

I have never used UE shocks but I have big bores and they are nice, a lot stronger than stock.

I happened to it... or do you mean, why don't I have it anymore?

Hes probally talking about your custom bumper Roll bars lol, I know the first time I seen a pic of it I was like WTF happend to that thing!!! :shrug: I even remember asking about them

 

[olds97_lss]

Hey, whatever works man. Your probably right though. Very little on my maxx was stock. I think the only things that were, were the receiver box, the bumper on my rear shock tower and my two-speed gears/one-way in the trans. Other than that, it was all aftermarket and beaten to a pulp.

 

[JESSE G]

Well it defiently looked like it could take one hell of a beating and keep on going, reminds me of my 74 Chevy Pu in looks like its been to hell and back twice lol rust and dents everywhere but you get that thing off road and it will go about anywhere!!

I have heard a few bad things about the reliability of the Wasp .18 and was just wondering if they were true? How does it run and have you had any problems?

I'd really be grateful if i knew b4 i spend my money.

 

[olds97_lss]

The wasp 18 was a decent engine, but now that the OS 18 cv-r is out, I'd spend my money on it. It has more power and isn't very expensive either.
