Jonski: Yeah T-Maxx's are great & about an Manufacturer makes parts for it, so your possibilites are almost endless!!!!! I just drove an E-Maxx for the first time this morning @ my buddies Hobby Shop & that thing is a BLAST, wheelies on command!!!! I might have to buy me one of those as well!!!!!

New Jack: wheelies on command, I wish the T-Maxx did that. I did the port and polish like in RCCA all I got was more top end. Are any of you guys changing the endbells. A guy at my LHS said I should go down to the 18.

All I have done so far is changed the shocks to the aluminum big bores and RPM blue lower spring cups. Thinking about getting the Pro-Line kit soon.

Thanks,
Jon

Jonski: I hear ya about the T-Maxx not being able to do wheelies!!! I bet if you put a .18 or .21 in it that it will pull one quite easily!!!!! With it stock it doesn't quite have the Torque to pull up all that weight!!! The Pro-Line Suspension kit is a MUST have!!!!!

I am going to get the Pro-Line kit tomorrow...LHS is closed today. They sell it for $56.00, where as Hobbytown is selling it for $85.00. Do quite understand that, but oh well.

Going to start painting up my Pro-Line PT Cruiser body soon too. That should make it look funny.

Jon

With stock gearing and a .18 my T can't quite pull wheelies (but it is quite rich), I'm going to put a 18 tooth clutch bell in it and see how it goes

My LHS said it wasn't a good idea to go for a smaller clutch bell, even though I never get up to full revs in second gear on most of the surfaces I run on No new servo (yet) I should get one because the stock one is not centering at all and jumps all over the place I now have the Orion 1100mAh pack and it makes a massive difference to steering response. I also modified the stock traxxas switch to include a charging jack.
I NEED TO GET
18 tooth clutch bell
645 steering servo
mulcher or paqman tires
new body (what bodies do you guys like, I was running a 50's chevy pickup but it cracked and the wheel arches were tooo wide)

I just got Trinitys new Max Truck body
& a set of premounted street racing
tires. They also have premounted tires
for many different surfaces.
The body & tires are killer

coastaltony
I like the look of the Trinity body but it has not reached the UK yet I want the trinty premounted tires because the have the extra off-set and some good tread designs.

LouisB
Can you do PayPal?
I might be able to help you out with
the body, 18 tooth clutch bell, 645
servos.
How much will the Trinity cost you
when it shows up in the UK?

Some people at my club do a mass order every once in a while from Stormer Hobbies so the postage charge is small, I can order the parts then, I'm not in a big hurry. My LHS does a good deal on Traxxas parts and they cost about the same as they would in the US. Someone who I race with has got a good way to get a high spec servo, he bought a cheap coreless servo and found metal gears from another cheap servo and ended up with a servo worth £100 for £40, he's using it in his 1/8 buggy.

I can only get some of the trinity TC bodies at the moment, and they cost £20, $31, it would be about the same for a Maxx body.

I do have PayPal, thanks for the offer but I doubt that it would be worth the cost of shipping it over here, unless you have pigeons

CoastalTony: Have you painted up one of those Trinity Truck bodies yet??? Mine is still sitting in the bag untouched, I don't want to paint it 'til I get all my upgrades for my T-Maxx otherwise I will get too depressed seeing that nice body & nothing to run it on!!!! , any luck on a Red or Yellow bumper, I have been looking for ya, but NO luck!!!!

New Jack
No I did not paint it yet. I have 6
other bodies to paint. Now, I am
getting my NTC3's ready for some
action.
If anything, I will just get the
chrome RPM front bumper, it's only a
few bucks, and looks good enough.
I am thinking about posting my T-Maxx
for sale. I have way too many cars &
trucks.

CoastalTony: I hear ya about having too many cars, I have all the ones listed below, plus all my other on-road cars!!!!!! I do believe that, RPM makes a dyeable bumper, but it's kinda big & funny looking!!!! Funny like

I have no where near enough cars, I am concentrating on getting ones to race, rather than bashing. I have my maxx, which I race, my FT B3, my XXX-S, my electric rustler (which I used to race) and my Tamiya F103 which I race in Pro-10.
I need a nice racing truck for next season, which is best XXX-NT Drake edition or FT RC10 GT? (I have no AE or Losi preference)
I may get a 12th scale for the winter, probably corally
What % fuel do you guys use in your maxx's and for racing?

Oh yeah, my club may get an 1/8th buggy class going again, something else to get, but that can wait Gotta get a servo first
