Congratulations on your purchase of a nice overseas knock off of the T-Maxx. Let us know how it performs or if it performs. BTW for $100 more you could have gotten the real thing.

Please keep us posted.

 

[FLATTOP]

Yes, post pics indeed and how well it performs.

From everything I've seen and heard so far, it is nothing more than a T-Maxx clone or ripoff (whichever you prefer).

 

[j0olz]

RIP OFF!!!! Why the heck did you buy one man!?!?!?! Your supporting people that try to rip off traxxas!!! Anyways, your choice, congrats on the t-maxx knock off.:depress:

 

[sxe7779]

whoa, well the only reason I'm buying it is to see how much it really does compare to the actual t-maxx, some of the specs dont even really make sense to me. Actually I already own 2 t-maxx's a new version and a older version, I just couldnt pass up an opportunity to see how someone else whos copying it would make it. Its all in the name of science I swear, plus at 230 dollars I mean come on you know you want to get one too, just to see at least!

 

[x_789]

Well I am anxious to see if the truck is better than his english let us know. I sure hop TRX parts fit on there. X

 

[SkyMaxx]

We are all anxious to see how this knock off performs. Don't take our posts wrong. We just haven't the desire to really spend the money to find out if it is worth anything. We will all gladly live vicariously through you (sink or swim).

Hope it doesn't turn out to be wasted money.

Hey cool so my article was useful :OMG:

really well definetly tell us how it performs:madface:

Read the description from the website, and look at the pics of the one with the lid off.

Says it comes with a slide carb, the pic clearly shows a rotary linkage set-up.

The engine in the one with pic is a used HPI .15 fe (notice the scratches on the head), I have an RS4 3 and would recognize that piece of crap header anywhere. In the description it says under Technical Data...
• 1.5 FE PullStart Engine
• OS Max .25motor Force Engine
• Engine=15CX
How stupid is this guy?
HA, this is a huge indicator this guy is a scam. OS Max is a .21, Ofna makes the .25 Force, NOT OS. So what he is saying is you get two engines, I don't think so. First it has a 1.5 FE, then an OS Max .25 engine Force, then at the end its a 15 CX.

Under features it says:
• No-Flex chassis design for better performance
• ANODIZED ALLOY ALUMINUM UPPER PLATE & CHASSIS
• Still & Sturdy Aluminum Chassis
All the while it is a pic of a stock T chassis, notice the hole where the reverse servo should be, so btw this truck has no reverse, probably a homebuilt forward only tranny , he did not even put the rubber caps back in the tranny to keep dirt out. Does listing the chassis three different ways make it three times better

The body posts as far as I can tell from the pics are hpi adjustable posts, they will not take the brunt of a monster truck crash.

How do you adjust the suspension width?, this is not possible without replacing the arms or using offset rims, or even parma offset hex adapters.

Dude I hate to piss on your parade but I don't think you are going to get anything but a $230 lesson. Trust me I really hope I am wrong.

 

[x_789]

Wow NC makes some good points. I thought all the same about the motor but I saw no reason to bring it up.

Now as for the Chassis where is the Upper plate? Last where is Are code (516) I suppose the closest member could drive to where ever that is considering they answer that number and give the dude a good caounty as$ whoopinf for screwing with one of our boys.

Man I really hope I am wrong also. I sure hope you get a comptly used knock off so that we can all turn around and get a 225 dollar parts truck. X

 

[FastEddy]

Did you notice it also comes with a "" full-start"".

Can I get a discount for a Half Start?

 

[NCNitro]

516 is in North Belmore Long Island NY, possibly more of Long Island but definately North Belmore, I have relatives there.

Notice how he also said it is 1:8 scale...I DON"T THINK SO. The truck pictured is a 1:10 scale frankenstein T made of a bunch of crap this guy had laying around his workbench.

 

[x_789]

Ok nc now I want yo uto pick over this dues whole site and tell us what all the other stuff is this is to much fun. X

 

[NCNitro]

I would love to, but since I only have two Ts and an RS4 3 I am only very familiar with these parts, like that crapola hpi header that I took off my RS4 3 and threw away. So we will need some guys with other real R/Cs to help identify the other botched creations this guy is trying to pawn off.

Acording to his website he does not even have one in stock, only an rtr version for $269

SXE, Good luck man

X go the the engine and accessories link on his website, then go down to the .15 CX and click on it, brings you right back to the same page you are on, same with the other links. This guy is a SCAM!!!

I hate to say it but I think you might just need this, but I really hope not dude.

NCNitro to the rescue. Damn, that was an awesome shredding of this idiot's attempt at making a T-Maxx knock off. I sure hope SXE can get his money back.

 

[NCNitro]

I hate thieves and liars! and this guy seems to be both. I hope he can too. This guy doesn't seem too smart, I think you send him that link I posted and call the local authorities and he should be able to get his $$$$ back.

 

[j0olz]

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM....enough spam for j00? RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF.... Well, you get the idea...:spam

 

[x_789]

Man NC I noticed that. Half his links dont work and the half that are linked to anything simply link back to the exact same page. As Phil Collins would say " I can feel it coming in the air tonight." I am afraid it aint a truck instead its a big hard screwing. X

 

[NCNitro]

It does seem as though he is going to get screwed without the pleasure of intercourse. I called the # but only get a message from a Jackie Chan sounding dude, no one ever answers the phone during his supposed buisness hours. Him say u leeve message, I help utha custama now. When it should say leave your # so I can screw you next!

Oh sheit that is WRONG dude I busted out at work when i saw. That well you must admit this is the most expensive humor in a thread here. I guess woodie could give him a prise for giving us all the most expensive laugh yet. X


Ohh check this out its another vehicle he sells who can tell us what this is
