some of you know i have a t-maxx and has some problems but the latest problem or accident was that my stock tire ripped. so since thoughs tires and rims balooned at high speed anyways i have decided that I'm overhaul my truck to. I ordered some hpi phaltline tires with blast wheels and also swithing to 17mm hex. i trashed my old body so i ordered one of thoughs as well (its a black and red body from traxxas i like the look of the body). And since the 4908 model is an forward only trans I'm going to put reverse in it since i have it on my older maxx and love it ( also with the reverse I'm putting in opti drive). And also since I'm switching to on road tires i have decided to gear it for high on road speeds which i have another thread right now on what gearing to do for high speeds since I'm not sure. And also I'm going to be ripping off easy start and doing a pull start for less weight. I know it sounds like a weird overhaul because most stuff is internal but i think the phaltline's with blast wheels and a new body will look good! should have truck done in the next few weeks and will post picks for all to see!!!:D:):)
 
it wont be done for two weeks or so depending on when parts show up but i will deff do pics when its all done for you to see! i think most t-maxx guys will like it
 
Can't wait to see your pics man. I've got a new body coming for mine and rpm arms. Gonna try to lower it, pics up l8er.
