I have my T-maxx that I got off craigslist a while back, I've been upgrading parts but nothing that mattered on if it was a 4908 or not. It has the black tranny. Theres additional pictures on my profile if they may help. Thanks :) Oh and I just thought I'd throw that picture of my dog in there cause thats how I feel when this truck gets me all confused. Haha.

the 4908 is the 3.3 with extended chassis you dont seem to have this and the 4909 is the 3.3 without the extended chassis, it looks like you have the 2.5r so that would most likely to be 4910, rpm arms look good so i think i will get them for my maxx
 
The RPM arms are awesome, they are quite a bit thicker than the stock ones but the same weight about and very strong, and look awesome =) And theres an RPM skid plate set as well. I dont know about the bulks but they could be upgraded. I put the new shock springs on because the stock ones were just limp haha. And as of about 1 hour ago I took of the EZ start and put a traxxas pull start on it. Thanks for the help again!

Heres a few pictures. In these, you can see that the EZ start motor is gone and its a bit more roomy and clean looking. I like :D
