tmaxx 3.3 upgrade ideas

[rooksy89]

Hey just looking for ideas on upgrades that make the tmaxx run better

 

[chaos2767]

Servo and suspension upgrades!

Toss on a motorsaver and a good pipe

 

[WoodiE]

If you're running a stock engine I'd probably just go with a THS tuned pipe and a motorsaver air filter.

RPM Arms and bumpers.

I'd start with upgrading the AA batteries to a 5 cell rechargeable humpback battery (and charger)
You'll get longer run time and improved response from your servos.
Something like this for example:

If you have a 4907/08 then you have a pretty good filter & pipe as it comes stock.

My 0.02$,
1) Better shock springs, on ebay,

2) 6V hump pack
3) Ofna Violator tank
4) a 250oz or better Metal Geared steering servo
5) sacrifice a retractable pen for it's spring, cut it down to fit between the brake pads.
6) RPM wear plates for over the skids
7) #4964 brake disc, slipper mod, replaces the 3 slipper pads, just have enlarge the holes a little so it sits onto the pressure plates pegs.
8) ACNCM bulks Front & rear set $50 shipped, ebay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/T-E-Maxx-3-...Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4170e780dc
9) aluminum chassis braces
10) Drop a Picco .21 into it! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Picco-P-Ser...Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35d873a9dc

If you have a budget of around £200 get a novarossi p15xlt and efra super strong 2099 tuned pipe bundle, I've heard good reviews and as a bundle on eBay for £184.99 it's a bargain!

Thanks everyone will have a look at all your ideas over the week end and most likely end up searching on ebay lol

I think if I try spending $200+ on a new motor the rest would have to stay stock in trying to fix my 4 tech tho guess it would fit in that
