Ok I kinda stuck i need to know whats the next upgrade for my list. I got 4908 maxx all around rpm arms, rpm shock towers on there way, alum 14mm hubs (needed those) and some springs. What else should i get besides alum bulk heads i know i need those, I'm looking for small upgrades oh what about Robinson metal gears, think its worth to put my money towards that i dont really bash, I drive pavement and grass and how about those black toe links traxxas sells those look cool.

The Robinson gears aren't exactly a small upgrade! A great one, though. If your gonna stick with the stock engine, the tranny will be fine. Maybe some shocks? Big bores or something. It's hard to give ya advice on this one. If the truck isn't going to see a ton of abuse, you should do what looks good to ya.
 
i kinda want it fast and sporty then a basher i know tmaxx is not meant for that but little better handle and something that wont make it flip over
 
Stiffer springs are about the best thing you can do to keep it from tipping over, but looks like you have that coverd already. I have a few sets of rims/tires for different terrain. Low profile on road tires really help for rollovers on pavement. Just like everybody says, Big Bore shocks rock. I found mine on ebay for like 35 bucks. RRP gears are probably overkill unless your going BB
 
i put wider tires on my maxx and its hard on pavement or grass to make it flip over,well besides over backwards.......the tires i have are an inch wider and they handle awesome......proline big joes!......robinson steel gears are a great choice for durability,for shocks i would try traxxas big bores,and the traxxas upgraded toe links are also a great choice,they look sweet and will stiffin up ur ride a bit plus they are lighter then the stockers,o and I'm currently looking into the rpm true trac setup of the rear of my ride,it completely eliminates the use of the rear toe links......good luck!
