  1. Bashing
Alright well I had the chance to run my tmaxx 2.5 today and everything ran awesome only got to run a tank but hey some bashing is better than none.

Anyways I did run into one problem in that I shifted it into reverse while it was stopped at it didnt want to go back into forward after that... i shifted it back and forth and finally left it on forward(it was still stuck in reverse at this time) finally it popped in and started going the right way.

So anyways not a huge deal but basically if someone could List for me the Pros and Cons of eliminating the reverse i would be very grateful. Please keep in mind that the truck is only used for bashing and no racing what so ever. Thanks guys. :)
 
It eliminates that hesatation you get when you are just taking off, but you and I are alike we just like to bash and guys on here told me to take it off but I don't want to run and get in when I get it stuck.
 
Yea man idk what i wanna do. i guess if i get a few more responses we will see, i might just leave it till i compleatly goes out then pull it
 
yeah it flies without reverse on ques what type of environment do you run in i mean big open fields or streets with curbs because that could also afect your choice if you lived in an area where you get stuck alot reverse is wanted but for bashing in a field reverse isnt needed
 
The only regret I had in doing the foc in my maxx was that I waited so long to do it. It makes the truck excellerate so much better, no more jerking on take off, no more getting stuck in the wrong gear or between gears. It removes a ton of crap from the tranny. IMO it's the best low dough mod you can do to a maxx. My 8 year olds maxx has a foc in it too, and yeah, every once in a while he has to go pull it out of something, but it's really no big deal.
 
Awesome just what i needed to hear thanks NC. And Suicide i run it off road only. some rocks and a few things to get stuck on but really.. i its a tmaxx i can't say that it really gets caught on a whole hell of a lot lol
 
why i asked was i run in the street in front of my house and when i run into curbs or even under the neighbors car it would be easy to get out with
