Well I was considering a T-Maxx since I am just about to hop into this hobby but now I dont know lol. :ball:

 

[TWIZTIDNINJA]

Its a great truck its just that there is so many options for it that everyone wants to do stuff to it

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

Welcome Kinger

The T-Maxx is an awesome truck. Its very versitle on most terrians and you can find aftermarket parts to do just about anything. Traxxas has great cust support so you can call them when you get stuck. There are many boards and many people on this board that would be more than happy to help you once you bought your T-Maxx. I know that model inside and out and I am very comfortable with the insane 2.5 engine that comes with the new model. I will admit at first tunning that engine before it is fully broken in will be a challenge but not too hard. Anyways whatever you buy Nitro is the way to go in my opinion!

 

[Kinger]

:radio: what about HPI anyone have any input on those. I can get one for about 180 bucks.

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

I think the Savage is Awesome though I dont own one. I do think the first thing to come out would be the mild .21 that comes stock.

 

[RSfan8]

yeah, the t-maxx isnt that delacate, people just have crazy lists of hopups because the aftermarket is so good and theres so much you can to with the truck, so alot of people upgrade rather than repair.

Let's put it this way... I just confirmed my PayPal account with a bank account number...

 

[Kevrone]

AHHHH I love that empty feeling in my pocket from my Maxx.

[DarthRacer]
