Why are you complaning about this here? Maybe people are keeping the parts as spares and don't want to sell.

Maybe they don't have Tmaxx's.

God knows Tmaxxs are known to break something about every outing.

Hey you know what's cool? Local hobby shop and leisure have the same initials! LH and LH! Coincidence? I think not...lol just go get parts from LH. No need to rant about it. Maxxes are what, 6 years old now?

My problem is I have a gen 1 maxx. So getting parts for that(which it needs in order to run again) is not going to be cheap because I have to upgrade like half the truck to match with the 2.5 or 3.3 maxx

Slowly but surely just upgrade all of it to 2.5 or 3.3 stuff. When you bust the rear arm again, pick up both left and right sets for the rear and put them on. It'll be like $15. And mabye turnbuckles so $20 but then you save money after, because if the stuff brakes again it's more readily available and cheaper. Do the same for the front and you're all good. I know how you feel, I had a gen 1 maxx till they came out w/ the 2.5 and then I basically gave up on it lol.

Well right now there is no motor. No mount. The right front buckle is off. I saw at RPM's site that if I were to put those 2.5 arms on. I had to get the buckles also. I would think I would have to upgrade the driveshafts also due to the extra length. Or atleast it would be a good idea IMO. Dropping the old tranny for a 3.3 tranny would be nice too. Needs servos and a radio and new shocks. And that is all I can remember lol

sounds like you need to invest alot to make it race worthy.

i installed rpm arms and power stroke shocks. did some other simple modifications and found the grey bulkheads work better than the alum.
my son races it all the time- nothing breaks. and he drives the piss out of it.
just keep in mind- they are money pits. and you will never get your money back out of it.

ok ok ok , take it esy. And NO, my name is not earl or dave or even steven. They call me josh. And i was jsut kidding when i made this thread, and didnt realize people were gonna oush it to a farther level. Yes, i know that the maxx really sucks!!!! And it is very true that it breaks everytime you take it out. I dont think that i have taken it out yet, and not broke something on it. Its getting kinda rediculous. Are the revo's the same way? If not, maybe i need to get one of those. later peeps

All of my issues are driveline related. Plastic yokes and telescoping driveshafts break very easily with the OS 18cvr thats in there. UE driveshafts would fix it.
