You should bail on them right now! I'll give you $150 just so you never have to see them again!

Lol!!!

You scored!!! The Revo is a lot of fun. Everyone likes Tmaxx too.

I say tear them down, replace all the broken and worn out stuff and these trucks should run well for years.

Oh sure, brag about your deal.
You did good.

How is the battery, transmitter/receiver situation?
Between the two, I'm more of a Revo fan, but you got two legacy trucks for a decent price.
You're way ahead of the game if you can inexpensively get one running.

Why do you think that the .28 may need a new carb?

2.5 Rebuild - How extensive of a "rebuild" are you planning?
- Clean it / slap it together / see if it runs?
- Do you have all the necessary parts to put it back together?

- If I was going as far as to rebuild (replace the piston/cylinder/conrod), or even try pinching it, I recommend replacing the bearings.
If it has no compression / if the cylinder is worn out, there's good odds that the bearings have had their day in the sun.

very unwise decision


i have to admit thought. as crappy as they are, and as much as i absolutely hate them, I'm kinda starting to have nostalgia feels for the F'ing tmaxx. so I'm kinda interested in seeing where that one goes as a project.

You can't run from your feelings.

They can't hurt if you don't feel anything!
