Oh man, me and a friend went out for bashing season one. His stock tmaxx and my RC10 GT. The owner of the lhs always tells my friend to run my rc10 over. Well... it happened this way.

First, flying around the drive here I nailed his front tire, went airbrone and did a 180 on his roof :D. Second he did finally run me over, but still wasn't able to catch me. Third, again the front tire trick, over the hood and through the woods. :D Fun as hell bash session today, nice temps and fun racing.

The damage total... well.. ehehhehe

T-maxx suffered.

Broken stock A-Arm and bent A-Arm pins. Two broken front bulkheads. And a blown U-joint? in the front end. He was two wheel drive for a while :D. What finally made his day end was a 5 inch deep puddle that happened to stall his engine. Do you think it killed it?

All together the damage totaled up to about 37 dollars for the T-maxx

RC10GT suffered

One broken rear bulkhead, from that massive flip while playing tag with the tmaxx. (The only reason he tagged me :D) And one set of tires. I burnt my spiked softies to street slick condition :D

Total 2.49 And the tires were 11.40 but I didn't "have" to get them. :)

It was a kickass day all around. I made my first, ... flight.. I would say I trucked in the air for about 30 feet. And I jumped a tmaxx twice. :) Damned puddle had to ruin the fun. Ahh well.. It was a great day all together.

One last thing, my friend wanted to know about the stock Tmaxx 2.5 exaust. What would the increase be if say.. he got a new exaust, like the pipe from my RC10. What kind of increase would the tmaxx feel?

Alright that's about it for todays bashing session. Ohh one last word. RC10GT's and T-Maxx together make one helluva lotta fun. :) Racing offroad is the best :)
 
I have both. Unfortunately I find it hard to drive both at the same time. But the GT is scary after you've been driving the Maxx for a while. That sucker is quick. And I'm using the stock AE .15 engine. Itching to get out there. The weather is getting better. May just have to grab the GT off the shelf this weekend...
 
I love it. The tmaxx is fast, but... that RC10 is just tooo agile for it. we had about 4 hours of nonstop bashfesting. Get someone to drive the GT or the MAxx and play tag. That is about the worst thing you could ever do. Needless to say, the maxx was it for a while.. Two tanks of fuel for the RC10 as a matter of fact. And when the bulkhead went in that flip is when he nailed me. :)
 
Leave the stock T-Maxx pipe on unless you plan on putting on one of the few pipes made for the 2.5...X
