What's the best way to lower a tmaxx really low for racing? Something that's adjustable so I can lift it back up whenever.
 
Bedside using a tether to hold a low position you can use the shocks.
Lay the shocks as flat as possible. Use the most inter mounting on the shock tower and most outer on the controll arm, this set up will lower your tmaxx and it will handle better, don't forget to readjust the toe and camber as this set up will change it..
 
Which model maxx do u have?

It says T-Maxx 3.3 on the box. It's the truck 4907

Why would u rather have a Jato then a Maxx? 4x4 is the way to go. U would be real limited on what u can do with a jato. But i guess it would be fine if all u were gonna do is race it.
 
I've decided to just get out of the hobby and put my truck on eBay or something

Also before the admin PM's me again, I'm not "stealth selling"...

Thank you everyone for all of your help over the past few days.

in street car racing at the race track. they set the front lower than the rear body, rocker panel. this lets the front lift when execrating shifting weight to the rear tires, gaining traction on the rear. this might work for a RC truck. just a thought
