very nice job on the vid....and can't you find a place were there is no trees??
 
Man, that looks like fun! Beautiful place to live, very nice country! Where I live there are very few trees, and you can watch your dog run away for three days..(sorry for the old joke) :cheers:
 
OMG The dude driving the Maxx needs like a ramp as wide as a house! Very cool vid. I am trying to get my brother to get in a video with me and my rides: Sirio 23 Maxx and a Pcr Pro that I will just end up keeping since there are no takers. and my MBX5. He has a storm with a soon to be installed picco omega 21 and a stock maxx. We have a place we like to bash that is free and clear and we use TWO skateboard ramps. Still trying to figure out how we can convert the footage from tape to digital format. If anyone knows let me know. m

But that vid was freaking cool. I knew that the Revo was a tought one but I am still enjoying the Maxx. The next truck I will purchase maybe the Storm Sut or the LST.
 
Truth be told, Fishstyx had a broken front lower control horn and a bent tie rod in the rear (causing big time toe out). As such, the T-maxx was uncontrollable. With these fixed, and a new Hitec 5925MG servo, it steers fine.

On the Revo end, that was 100% bone stock in the video. However, I just put in a 40 tooth spur gear, 50wt sock oil, P2 rockers, and green springs in the front and black springs in the rear (20% stiffer). Accelerates faster and much faster on the ground. Catching bigger air and it is more stable on the landings.

Look for a new video soon!
 
your right i did the same thing and it jumps and accelerates better. It seemed to be set up more for top end. Anyone get the OS 18 for it yet?
 
stiffer is the way to go. i was gonna go with green/black, but now i'm 75% stiffer front and 68% stiffer rear by using stock LT springs. Add in the P2 rockers and 55wt shock oil and this thing is ready for some abuse. by filling the shocks up only about 80% it still allows it to absorb the medium bumps too. can't wait to test soon when my new carb assembly arrives (HSN stripped out).

you were catching some nice air in those videos with the revo....nice and balanced as well. i gotta get a ramp like that
