Guys, my T-maxx crashed and i need your help. heres what broke:
1 bumper mounts
2 bumper screws( the ones that hold the bumper to the mounts)
and would like it to be in STOCK
thanks
 
You need partnumbers trx4935 and trx4936 RNL hobbies shows to have them but they also showed to have the shocks that Mayhen wanted. Just call them and verify and if they have them order over the phone. Thats the only place I saw that lists the mounts in stock. ALso as far as the screws the parts list says the bumper mounts come with 3x15 screws 8 of them but the parts diagram shows it uses 3x12mm to hold on the bumpers. So call the morons at TRX and ask them if the screws in the bumper mount kit are to hold on the Bumpers or the mounts to the chassis because some where they got mixed up....X
 
do you have a link x? and sky it look bad i hit a pole and the bumper flew along with the screws i need and the mounts wer hangng borken
 
Sorry about the out of stock link I posted for you, Mike. I misread that to mean you wanted the stock parts vice a location that holds the part in stock.

It is amazing how sometimes a horrible looking wreck only yields minor damages. I guess you got lucky.
 
Mike,
Thats every day maintenance,
A crash is when more than 3 parts fly in different directions and you need 2 hands scoop up your truck.

You haven't had fun until you have spent 20 minutes looking for the missing parts.

Hint:
Start at the POI (point of impact) Get on your hands an knees and crawl slowly in a circle gradually moving outward. 150 to 200 feet from the POI should do. Occasionally look up to avoid any serious neck problems.

Thats when you know you crashed.

LMAO, that is so true, I could not have said it better. It's amazing how far parts will travel from the poi in a real crash.
 
Yeah if start my T-Maxx and it cost less than 20 bucks to get it ready to run the next time. Not counting fuel then I can't really classify it as a bad wreck....:P
 
Damn, I love this hobby. Nothing like a major crash with parts all over the place. just another excuse for me to get to the LHS! "Sorry Hun, I cannot go to that baby shower. I got to go to the Hobby Shop before they sell all the parts I need. You understand." or act all mad and say "Dammit! I got to go get some parts! be back later." that way, because you're mad, she wont say anything. Just storm out before she has time to think about it. Then take all the crap she'll give you when you get home and she finds out how much you spent. I Love This Hobby!!!

This hobby would be lame if you didnt break something once in a while. Big or little, its still lends itself to some good wrench time.

DUDE THAT IS HIGHLARIOUS. I do the same thing cause if I don't act pissed she may be like don't spend the house payment again...X
 
No, No, No, You have it all wrong.....
When she sees the flowers in one hand she wont question whats in the bag you have in the other..

Give it a shot.
No decent women would even think of making an ass of herself by asking.

One step further,
Tell her: On my way back from the LHS and felt an uncontrollable need to show my love and respect for you and felt selfish spending money on my self and not you, so I stopped and got you a gift.

The corneyer the better. She will see right through it but whats she going to say?

Just beware you may get an RC part and the same line of BS when she comes home from the shoe store or the jewelry mart.

Hey if she wants to bring me some rc stuff on her way home from the shoe store thats just fine with me. :D Actually I think thats how I got my first T-Maxx.
 
Those are some expensive shoes! You see she did it all wrong. The gift has to be less than the amount that she spent on herself. Wait what am I saying. You got a tmaxxx
 
You have to know how to play the game.
My wife has got all bet one of my RCs for me.
She has a hell of a shoe collection.

Maybe we should start a wifes forum.
NitroShoeTalk.com That should keep them busy for a while.=devil
 
Dude my wife hates the computer she never goes near it. I think its a jealousy thing you know. Its like she looks at my pc as "The Other Woman" ....X
 
Turn it off for a day ot two and bug the poop out of her.
Sell be begging you to turn it back on again.
