i have broken a couple of rear body mounts on my tmaxx one the same day i replaced it. so i was think of replacing it with the powerline or trinity aluminum rear body mounts. but i was wondering if those would just be prone to bending instead of just breaking like the plastic ones do. if the aluminum ones will bend in a roll over then i will just stick with plastic because there cheaper. what do you guys think? ;)

Yes the big problem with Aluminum is bending...and in some cases i've seen actually fracturing the posts.....look at it this way...you can buy alot of stock posts for the cost of 1 aluminum.

ALSO one thing to look at is the RPM body post kit, it is plastic, VERY heavy duty and guaranteed not to break, and if it does send it back to RPM and u get a new one....it is a little pricey (around$15) BUT you also get a new shock tower in the kit...try them on for size.....

ya i was thinking the same thing. i could just buy about 30 bucks worth of stock body mounts, but i wasnt sure if the aluminum ones hold up that good or not because if they did i would just rather buy an aluminum one and have the good looks that go along with it. thanks

IF ANYONE HAS A GOOD PICTURE OF A CLODZILLA 4, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. PLEASE EMAIL ME THE PICTURES OF THE CHASSIS IF YOU GUYS HAVE ONE. I CANT ASSEMBLE THIS KIT. :flaming:

actually t-maxx better or is ofna dominator better? or terra crusher.

Any of you guys know the performance of Tamiya Terra Crusher? How much does it run?

Got my new mulcher tires yesterday. As well as the Hummer Militia body. Last one in the hobbyshop...apparently they discontinued it. Looking for someone to paint a jungle camo paint scheme on it. About to get my pro-line offset dyable rims from my friend. Buying the proline suspension kit next week.

Project EMAXX is underway!!!!! :D

I'm about to put some Modifications on my T-Maxx to make it race ready, Please anyone feel free to put comments or suggestions to what I'm going with to what I should be going with!!!!

Here's a few of the things I'm going with:

____________________________________
Change electronics (M8) radio
High TQ/Speed servo for steering, High speed for Throttle/Brake
Pro-line Suspension kit
.21 conversion kit from Robinsracingworld.com
O.S. .21RG (P) Pullstart
Hotbodies shock set
Full set of Rubber Sealed Bearings
Steel screw set

Did I forget anything?????
Also for anyone who might race @ Indy R/C world in Garland(Dallas) let me know what you think about Tire combinations & what weight shock oil!!!!

ANYONE????????:confused: :confused: :confused: :weird: :weird: :weird:

New Jack
What type of track do you plan on
racing your T-Maxx on?
I have been running mine on a parking
lot road course track for about 4
months.
:deathstar

It's pretty much a Blue Groove, Hard Packed clay!!!! I see most of the guys there running the stock tires to some Maxx Mulchers, I was thinking maybe some Maxx Bow ties might work!!!!:confused: :confused: :confused:

Sounds like it is a decent track.
First thing to look into are Traxxas
hard anodized aluminum pivot balls
#4933X. They make a big diffence. Also
look into an aluminum steering
bell-crank. Powerline, MegaTech and a
few others offer them. SMOOTH like
butter. Another quickie is Traxxas
forward only conversion #4994X. This
helps reduce rotating mass in the
tranny, and offers a low price hop-up.
:tire:

CoastalTony: Thanks for all the Info. & advice, I will definately take it into consideration!!!!:blush: :blush: :blush: If you have any other Tricks & or suggestions I'd appreciate them!!!! Thanks again!!!!!:D :D :D

The Traxxas parts & aluminum steering
bell-crank are the cheapest
performance hop-ups, get them asap.
Next is a damn decent steering servo,
the stock throttle servo is fine, for
now.
I have installed the new Pro-Line
suspension kit. For me on asphalt, it
is a major improvement.:tire:
As for shocks, I got a set of the
Associated T/E-Maxx shocks. They were
hard to find so I bought 2 extra sets.:deathstar

CoastalTony: Are you satisfied with the AE shocks I've heard of people having problems with them & not caring too much for them, so they went with the Hot Bodies shocks or used some 1/8 scale shocks!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:
