hi there tmaxx guys

i plan to purchase a used tmaxx (the 1st edition, not the recently released one.) i know that the kit ill be buying is verly seldom used (less than a gallon run through it, i think) but i would like to know more about tmaxx maintennance/setup.

my questions are:

1. what hopups/accessories do i need to make it run better/stronger? i dont plan to race it, but i would like to see it power slide and jump. or is the stock tmaxx capable of backyard bashing?

2. im an electric guy and this is my first offroad nitro kit. (i had an onroad nitro kit about 4 years ago and that was for a short time only so i forgot most of my pre-use and post-use practices) i know that i need to put after run oil after cleaning the thing. do i need to put it after every run (i plan to run weekends only) or is once a month okay? also, on my onroad nitro, i used denatured alcohol in a spray bottle then blast it with compressed air for cleaning. is there a better way now of cleaning/maintainning the tmaxx?

3. finally, what breaks in a tmaxx? with normal use, are there weak spots such as fragile arms, stripping gears, blown engine (hope not )?

thanks for any info hope to hear your suggestions soon
