Finally Got A New Pipe - 02-04-2006, 10:41 AM

I finally got a new pipe yesterday. Traxxas tuned pipe. I got to run it this morning in my garage and a little in my backyard. I am able to do burnouts now and wheelie a lot easier. I wish I would have gotten a new pipe earlier.

Looks good man. For some reason the more I look at maxxes lately the more I want one again. I know it was a bunch of problems but it was sooo much fun. I just don't know if I can put the money into it to get anywhere near what rob has... where I'd want to get it.

used: (estimates)
dace predator chassis kit: $130
Towered VBS w/ 8 spider diffs: $425
Racer X suspension: $250
titanium center shafts: $30
UE cvds: $100~
time: $230423804718046586230472048206523024825720520424

After that, you need shocks, tires, motor, electronics, and a tranny... probably dont need an upgraded one..

Yeah... just what you listed... used... is about $1K. I don't think I could throw that into a maxx. I don't know... maybe I will set up a savage for bashing or something. I want something else but don't know if I want to pick up another race class, or build up a basher and then sell the revo when I want to pick up another class...
