I have a Traxxas T-Maxx 2.5 on the way I heard the suspension and drive shafts are weak on there I was wondering if you guys could give me any tips on what I should upgrade first to the the suspension and what brands
 
Welcome to the site. The harder you are, the easier it will break. If you take off full throttle from a stop, spin tires from a slick surface to a hard surface,or land from a jump on the throttle, those will be harder on your driveline.

If it were me, I would buy 4951x drive shafts, 4953 stub axle, and 4982x drive yoke. I would buy those to have spares, if you go through those, then you will need something beefier.

For spares, air filter, air filter oil, glow plugs, spare wheel nuts and body clips.

Rpm also makes plastic parts.

Thanks 👍
 
How many of each should I get of all that stuff you put do I need to get cuz there are four drive shafts do I have to get four of each of those
 
I would say

Air filters 5261 comes in a 3 pack.

2 or 3 spur gears, they are under $4 usually.

4951x is pictured as 2 full drive shafts, id say one pack.

4953 stub axles are two in a pack.

The 4928x is also two per pack, but I would get two packs as they are used on all four corners plus on the center drive shafts.

If you have the money and its a long drive, Id go two each that way it gives you time to figure your truck out and not have down time.
 
Last question last question I want to replace all the servos what size servos do I need for what I have experience with electric RCs I do not have a t Max classic on me it will be here tomorrow

Any regular size servos will fit. I linked some Ecopower ones that are cheap but got great torque and speed. Check them out here. Hope this info serves you well.
