t-maxx's are still big but quickly fading from the scene, in light of all the new kits the t-maxx is becoming obselet in stock trim. sounds like you have the hardcore racing bb conversion. you can still make the truck competitive (sounds like its upgraded well right now) but the new kits are starting to really take off. hopped-up lcg savvy's, lst's, all of the new truggy's, and the revo are all threatening the t-maxx's life. but IMO the t-maxx has had a very good, long life and unless traxxas starts doing something about it the truck will fade away. the reason why im saying the t-maxx is fading away is because everybody is turnign to the new trucks to buy instead of t-maxx's. dont get me wrong though, you can still make it run with the new trucks but you may want to eventually upgrade trucks in the future.
