Hey everybody, my birthday is on Thursday and my parents want to know what I want so what should I get?

Here are a few pics of what I have now, I know I want a new body for the Maxx, and another set of off-roads for the 18t.

well this is going to sound stupid, but, what are bulkhead braces? lol, i think i might get a wing, what kinda mount do u have UE?

Ponch · (#5 (**permalink**))

They're the X things that go between your bulkheads that your bumper mounts would usally screw into...

Traxxas_Junkee · (#6 (**permalink**))

ooo, cuz im not running bumpers right now, i just got new rear bulks and i wanted to drive so i didnt bother with the braces or the bumpers. (i knew that, im sick so im kinda out of it.)

IMO if you dont want a big block engine then get the 2.5r traxxas motor.

Traxxas_Junkee · (#8 (**permalink**))

the 2.5 and 2.5r are the same except for the head right?

destroy_my_revo_15 · (#9 (**permalink**))

yea the 2.5 and the 2.5r are the same block different head.

kevinF · (#10 (**permalink**))

not really. the 2.5r has a little more power than the 2.5 ( possibly 3-5 m.p.h.)

go to beaverstick.net
go to videos
go to burn and watch
when the video gets to 2:28 there is a revo (right) and a t-maxx (left) racing and you cansee the difference in the motors.

here is the link

well ummm idk how accurate that is because if they wanted to test them then it should be on a dyno not on two different trucks....heck even if they had it on the same truck then it would be more credible....

I have the Mugen wing and wing mount. If you are using the rpm towers, you will only be able to screw 2 of the mounting screws into the top 2 holes on the shock tower that go into the bulk.

When I took my bumpers off, I still ran my bulkhead braces.

ok, well forget the wing then, i guess. ill find something else to get.

well I know butdid you see the race in the begining? that was a good race.

but I know for sure when my 2.5 blows then im going to get the 2.5r.

so maybe traxxas junkee you should wait till your engine blows before you get the 2.5r

Traxxas_Junkee · (#15 (**permalink**))

yeah thats what i was planning on doing anyway, cuz ill just do the replacement plan thing through traxxas.

kevinF · (#16 (**permalink**))
