I lowered my 2.5 maxx to make it more stable my moving the bottom of the shocks to the outside hole and it still rolls over easy.
Is there anything else i can do?
Running across five acres every time it rolls is getting old.
I'm sure i could just slow down when i turn but thats no fun

Short of stiffening up the suspension with heavy springs and/or thicker oil, that'll be your best bet.

See i'm a noob!
I was going to go softer.
i would think softer because then it would cusion the roll rather than have it stiff in the turn?

Thinking about it stiffer means less lean then less roll over.
To a point it will reduce roll tendancies, but too soft can help induce excess body roll too.
Too soft will cause it to roll. Lower your droop (dont think a tmaxx can?)
Stiffer would make it more responsive, but might not give you more traction, softer springs = more traction. You'd have to mess around. but remember its a monster truck with a high center of gravity...it's going to want to do that naturally.

I would have got a revo myself, but to was given to me new by a friend so I can't complain.
they also make axle wideners. stratcat hassome on his and damn is it wide!
Revos are sweet, You could try some offset wheels as well, Proline makes them. however I've found the wheels off-set part will bend fairly easily.
I'd reccomend like 17mm Hubs and Offset wheels, Either way, a Hub Extender will work as well.
I have 8th scale buggy shocks with heavy springs on mine. Only 1 shock in each corner. I run 50 wt in all four. Stratcat and Bubba can vouch. It rips ass and handles like it's on rails. I'm also running revo wheels and bowties too
Revo wheels and-----bowties? Cut I'm guessing?
maybe they aren't bowties. I can't member now. They look like bowties lol

depends on what you were talking about... I've heard it before, usually it's preceded by a woman saying "oh wow, I'm going to be in heaven"... lmao....
hey, I see I finally made the race team : I kind of dig "John the Longhair" it's got kind of a mob sound and also a biblical thing going on... someone pisses you off you can respond "I'm sending John the Longhair after you, and he's going to go all biblical on your ass"... lol
