Now that's steering. I can finally get the front wheels to turn the way I want to. I was bashing around the other day and I did not notice that there was a big root coming out of the ground and the Maxx just took some big air but landed in an angle rear first and took about 5 tumbles before it landed on it's wheels. I took it easy bring it back towards me but then I noticed that the rear was lowriding. I stopped the truck and ran to it to inspect it. The Rear bulkhead had broken where the rear towers were mounted. Damn that prematurely ended my fun. I ran to my LHS and they were out of the rear OE bulkheads so I ended up buying the Dynamite alloy rear bulkheads. It was a tad heavier but it should not break as easy as the OE one. I put it in and was very happy w/ the perfromance since it comes with captured hingepins as well not to mention I got $ 20.00 off the retail price. So I decided to get the front sets as well the very next day. Lesson learned, some parts are just unavoidable to be replaced with alloy or Titanium specially for this beast of a truck. I am still sticking to my plan of keeping the metal hop ups to a minimum so here's the list of alloy or Ti hop ups to go next.
Front and rear towers.
Fr/rr cvds and center cvds.
Alloy threaded Dynamite/Losi shocks.
Chassis brace
Front/rear and center skidplates in alloy or Ti.
Maybe the Diff housings(I'd like your opinions here on the dif housings)
Once I get the suspension and drivetrain replaced for strength then I am considering 2 options for the motor. Either change the 2.5 internals with the Sirio hop ups or just get the .18 Sirio motor, once again your opinion will be much welcome here. I'd like to get a faster motor since I would like to get the taller and wider Big Joe wheels and tires set up. A little more power should offset the heavier tire set up.

I would like to take the reverse out but the wifey likes the reverse function .
By the way I ended up buying a new radio. A Futaba 3PDF FM radio and I am very happy with the performance and I still get the reverse function. I decided to get another radio just in case my wife or anyone else want to run it I can still have my M8 to either run the NTC3 or the TC3. The Futaba was quite a good choice, though not as user friendly as the MX3 this ended up a better choice since it will be more difficult for anyone to mess around with the settings.
