Want some help on what to get - mikecooper - 02-04-2006 I have a T-maxx, currently it is stock, but my b-day is coming up on March 17th, and I was wondering if any of you know what to get first for it, I know I want to get a pipe, but not sure which is good or not, anyone who knows t-maxxes please help me make a list of stuff, thanks. Want some help on what to get - FreeRideFrosty - 02-04-2006 Well... I'm sure if you can give an aproximate price that you would want to stay around Rob can give you a very good start. He has a maxx on par with god. (Just don't ask him to shim your diffs LoL) Want some help on what to get - mikecooper - 02-04-2006 that is the thing, I have no clue price range, I was just wanting some suggestions of good pipes, and was going to just put them on a list for them to choose from, along with some other parts, not trying to change out the engine, it is fine for not, but I was thinking of getting some of the rpm a-arms, I heard from Al's that those are good. Want some help on what to get - Ponch - 02-04-2006 RPM arms and towers THS or Traxxas Blue Pipe Aluminum bulkheads alum chassis braces JR650 steering servo RPM head guard That should help. Want some help on what to get - mikecooper - 02-04-2006 cool thanks, I will look for those now, and put them with the price on my list, I am thinking of doing the pipe first, do you think that is a good idea, or should I get one of the other first? sorry I just got into the hobbie and don't know what should be upgraded first. Want some help on what to get - FreeRideFrosty - 02-04-2006 Pipe, arms, and bulkhead first. Pipe will give you a power gain while the other two are parts that generally break A LOT on maxxes... Want some help on what to get - mikecooper - 02-04-2006 I was wanting to replace the arms first I know how those things break. Second time driving it after break-in, I broke one, and broke the upper part of the shock(the part that the screw goes through)and broke the draglink. Want some help on what to get - mikecooper - 02-04-2006 here is a pic I had taken after bringing it in before I knew all that was broken Want some help on what to get - Ponch - 02-04-2006 I would go Arms/bulks servo pipe and then the other stuff. Want some help on what to get - mikecooper - 02-04-2006 awesome, thanks for the quick response and the help. Want some help on what to get - Ponch - 02-04-2006 Yep. Want some help on what to get - mikecooper - 02-04-2006 which brand it most reliable for the Aluminum bulkheads Want some help on what to get - FreeRideFrosty - 02-04-2006 Almost anything but Integy. Stay away from them. They have soft aluminum and a BAD track record on this and other forums. Want some help on what to get - mikecooper - 02-04-2006 thanks, you saved me, I searched on google, and that is the first thing that came up, so I was looking into them Want some help on what to get - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-04-2006 get some powerstroke shocks, the RPM stuff and a this pipe http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFWE9&P=ML here is a pic of my maxx Want some help on what to get - mikecooper - 02-04-2006 I need to buy a new front skid plate first thing though, because mine broke today, but thanks for your help too. Want some help on what to get - FreeRideFrosty - 02-05-2006 Meh... you don't need a front skid. LoL I'm j/k. I think getting that in aluminum might not be bad either. Someone who owns a maxx will chime in on this too... Want some help on what to get - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-05-2006 only time i break skids is if the bulks break they usually take the skid plate with them Want some help on what to get - Tex - 02-06-2006 1st upgrades in a maxx... Upgraded steering servo, receiver pack (5 cell 6V), radio with end point adjustments, and most important tires. #1 receiver pack #2 tires
