So many on here have said the T-Maxx is a money pit, well you may be right!
I finally got all the break-in done on mine and was just starting to tune it in when the problems started. First I noticed the right front really dropping when cornering, so much it was pulling the left rear off the ground. I made another turn to see if it would do it again and this time it flipped and landed on the gas tank. Shattered the bottom of the tank and broke off the body posts on the front, that ended the day for the T-Maxx. Turns out that 3 of the 4 screws on the shock tower had gone AWOL. Don't know how, I had just been putting around and had gone over every screw on the thing before starting the break-in.
Oh, well it'll sit until I can get another tank.

Just thought I'd share,
Randy
 
do yourself a favor and replace the screws with hex heads...as you do that blu loc-tite them in.....if you don't want to do the screws at least loc-tite the ones in there now....
