RC Expo (LMAO @ Traxxas)

[FastEddy]

All the manufacturers had a chance to show off their cars and drivers at the expo. The first off road I watched was the Losi boys with the XXX-NT RTRs. These guys kicked ass and took names. Triple flips. setting drifts around the berms taking triples smooth as silk. Great trucks and excellent drivers. They ran 3 trucks and 3 drivers. Everyone of them drove without damage or flame-out till they ran out of fuel.

Traxxas was up next. They had a stable of 12 trucks and 3 drivers. Not one of the trucks mad it through the 15 minutes.
Big air, busted parts, take a triple, flame out. In 10 minutes they went through every truck in the bull pen. They had 4 guys with wands on the track restarting the Maxxs and they were busy. A-arms Shocks bulkheads you name it they broke it.

I do know its not fair to compare the Maxx with the XXX-NT but never the less it was still a sight to see.

[SilentHunterKellen]

Ha, Whaddya expect, Losi Has some Top-Notch drivers. Traxxas, I dont know....none the less, that is pretty funny. Cuz I'm ditching Traxxas for a HPI Savage or AE MGT.

Well, from what I've seen, the T-maxx can't take much abuse stock. The bulkheads are more than fragile. And it's rather easy to break many things. lol

 

[SkyMaxx]

That's why there are so many after market parts makers, and the primary reason companies like RPM do so well. They make parts that are near impossible to break.

 

[AoD]

Exactly, but do you think Traxxas would bring RPM'd out trucks to show off? I know I would, but that's me. lol

Sky, you have any ideas on making T-Maxx bulkheads stronger? With braces or whatnot? My friend would die to know lol.

 

[SkyMaxx]

Nope...I went to Hardcore Racing's Aluminum bulkheads after shattering my rear ones during a freezing cold bash session. Haven't had any problems since.

 

[AoD]

Hmm.. Well, he doesn't want to toss 120 bucks into bulkheads, maybe I can talk him into it. He did have a set, but his father decided that a drill can remove a broke off screw... Well, that set has 3 extra holes now lol

 

[mcvickj]

Does RPM offer a catalogue of all of their T-MAXX hop ups?

 

[SkyMaxx]

If you go to their site and look around, you'll find what you need for the T-Maxx. I'll save you some time and give you the link to their TRAXXAS section. Enjoy

LOOK HERE

Yeah I was wondering why I had to spend so much money on my Maxx to make it decent. I bet the felt stupid following Losi's lead.

 

[Mayhem]

Traxxas should of called me up I would of brought my rock and showed them up. Wouldn't of broken a damn thing. Sho those mofo's what a rustler can really do.

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

I guess I would reply but naw.......................



ok I cannot help it your brick blows!:flamer:

Ok I take that back thats one of the best bricks I think I have seen consider my statement retracked.:bow:

 

[Mayhem]

I love it minus the hole in the engine. But hopefully traxxas takes care of that. Its not done yet either.

 

[AoD]

I don't like the bricks much unless I'm just bashing, I'll stick with me RC10 lol

I don't understand why, but the stock T-Maxx is weak, and the rustler is strong... Go figure... lol

 

[Mayhem]

my maxx isn't week and I'm pretty crazy.

 

[AoD]

Is it stock? HMMM!!! lol

From what I've seen then, is that better mayhem?

I know they can be tough as nails, but most I see are pretty much solid RPM/Aluminum lol

 

[KoRnKiD]

what the heck does this :tank: mean??

 

[FastEddy]

I would think..........
A Tank...
