Looks nice. Try to stay away from integy products, there metal alloy is very weak. You should be alright with the bulkheads though.
 
Looks nice!! Looks like it must handle pretty good too. You have already got the Integy on there so nothing much you can do now....might hold up for you, you never know.
 
That should hold up pretty good. just depends on your driving style

some people like alot of air and what goes up must come down but sometimes not flat on all four wheels
 
looks almost like one of my maxx's so nice!!!! I got the same tires only when I bought mine they came on friggin aluminum wheels so they are used for show till I go all metal driveline and tranny gears.. as u can tell I broke a few things when using the aluminum wheels, I dont know if it was entirely the wheels but i dont need to spend that much on replacement untill i upgrade l.o.l
 
what company should i use other then integy and yea i have more upgrades i wanna do myself and my bro has a stock 3.3 maxx and he picks on me and says I'm to worried bout makin mine look nice and what gearing do u guys reccomend I'm at 58 18 right now
 
there are lots of great companies out there, really just depends on what you're looking to upgrade
 
Fast Lane Machine, Golden Horizon, ACNCM (ebay only) to name a few.

IMO, there is no point to go out and buy something else to replace the Integy parts that you have already got on there, its a waste of money! I think that you should just go out and bash, and when you have a part failure, go and replace it then. You might not have to replace the parts for a while, you never know.

I myself am running the Golden Horizon bulks, chassis braces, bulkhead braces, shock towers, steering servo mounts and they are great. They look good and are really tough.
 
On my Tmaxx 1.5 I'm running an OS 18 with the stock pro .15 header with the hop up aluminum pipe. I've got Robinson racing metal gears in the tranny along with the foc. I also run the dynamite hybrid clutch shoes with a 72 tooth Robinson spur and a 21 tooth clutchbell. Also my underside is all aluminum with the later bars, front, rear and center skid plate along with the servo skidplate. My motor does not seem to strain with the setup and it rocks. Very nice rig and I really like the wide track. I'd like to do wider than stock but I like the stock look myself. Maybe in the off season. Robinson, MIP, golden horizons, and traxxas make some good stuff.
 
To the op - nice truck. That 18 tooth cb would give it some pep and the rpm and alum bulks makes for a good combo. Your truck would be agile and strong. All in all a very nice truck.

yea this is my 1st build it has taught me alot and yea it has nice acceleration and I'm thinkin bout gettin a picco max .26 r they worth the upgrade
 
and i was thinkin bout running 7" tires what gearing would i have 2 change
 
i have run the .26 maxx and while a lot of people really like them i would recommend the OS .21TM over it. the only things i hear about it are that its an awesome engine. i have also bought 40 series tires and they didnt really do anything good for the truck. imho with wheels the lighter the better. your 18 tooth clutchbell would be fine for 40 series tires.
hope that this helps.
 
If you are looking for serious power the Picco .26 red dot seems to be the most popular. Also the Sirio .27 and Rb .23 would be good options too. Only prob when you have that much power you will destroy the drive train so youll want to upgrade trans gears, driveshafts, diffs, and cvds. By that point you will have invested a good chunk of change.
