I am currently banking on buy a T-maxx 3.3. fairly cheap but my wife has given some extra money in about 2 or 3 weeks. buy extra i mean like $400. the t-maxx is stock and i was wondering what some of the NEED to have upgrades are out there that i should be looking into.

a 2.4 radio system if you dont already have one. Possibly an roll cage. since its stock in upgrade the gas tank to the proline tank.

Whats with the fuel tank??

ROFL nvm i found it. its the 166cc tank LOL longer runtime

I whole heartedly second the rollcage. At least a roll bar. I snapped the motor mount after landing on the roof. I went ahead and upgraded to the traxxas aluminum one. I'm afraid to jump mine anymore until i get a rollcage.

For some reason on the 3.3 I've broken 2 steering servos. This is my 5th Maxx truck too. The stock 2070 stripped out gears. So i put in a Hitec HS645-MG, only took about 5-10mins to explode the gears in that one too. I can only guess the servo saver built into the bellcrank is way too tight, and no way to adjust it. So if not a new really good steering servo, a good servo saver is needed.

When you upgrade the strg servo, you need to upgrade the servo saver as well. The servo saver for a MG servo is also diff than one for a plastic geared servo. I use this Kimbrough saver on my Tmaxxes that run Hitec 5645MG servos for strg -
