Its a nice set up. But if you are going to make a t-maxx, an have the money for it. The best way to go i would say is get the JT recing set up. the hardcore raceing set up is about 2" longer than a stock maxx. An the JT racing truck is about the same langth. I have drivin both a JT truck, an a Mute maxx, an the shorter truck turns better, an handels better. But its just my thought on the issue.
