Hey everybody, man, has it been a long time since I've been into the R/C scene. It's crazy of how much it's grown. While I am introducing myself, I thought it would be appropriate to have this thread in the monster trucks section because it is mostly pertaining to monster trucks

Anyways, enough with my little rambling After a 2 year break from my beloved R/C cars, it has come to my attention that R/C's are still alive and kicking quite well in my area, cumulating in the R/C Winternationals in Alberta. While I had sold my 1/8th scale GS Storm, my father kept his T-Maxx (non-running) for sentimental purposes. What I want to know is if the T-Maxx is still competitive in today's R/C world (ie, would it be a good candidate to revive and compete with for fun)? A list of things done to it:

T-Maxx 2.5 suspension w/ cv axles added
proline variable shock valves (not those fancy new ones, the old school ones that had multiple holes that opened and closed to give you varying amounts of damping)
unknow big block conversion kit (4mm thick titanium plate)
thunder tiger .21 (needs a rebuild, thinking of buying a new, more powerful motor)
traxxas aluminum *diff carrier plates, forget what they are called*
180oz/in hitec steering servo
ball bearing steering
sealed BOCA bearings all around
proline original bowtie rubber on traxxas sportmax rims

I am a very decent driver (or was, I've owned 6 t-maxx's and the GS Storm), and was as deep as you could get into these vehicles in my area. Any hints/tips would be appreciated, as I would love to get my t-maxx back on track. Thanks guys!
