does anyone have a t-maxx or other nitro powered rc

 

yea ive got a revo and a savage .25

 

how do you like the revo im thinking of getting one so me and my dad can race ever since i pulled the t-maxx out of the box my dad wants to drive it

 

i have a nitro rustler and a hpi nitro mt

 

I'd just stick with the maxx if I was you. Unless you feel the urge to race, it's unnessecary to dump da cash for the marginal gain (only in speed, NOT durability) you get with the Revo. If you do already have a maxx, you should just bulletproof it. Buy RPM a-arms, and make your own cross braces between the lower king pins out of the spring steel found in the recoil starters of most small engines. This will completely stop bulkheads from breaking. Fill the mill-outs in the bulkheads with epoxy too, anyways. Then buy one extra set of RPM arms, so when you snap one, you can just send that set in for their free replacement garuntee and keep driving. I've found that making your own "pipe bumpers" out of t-6 alum. stock bent at the ends looks really cool. They also refuse to break if fabrication is executed properly.

 

Forgot. Buy some alum. bar stock and make your own bolt on cab roll bar like the savage has. Then go to the track and run into some buggies. ...Now we return to our regularly scheduled program-Honda ATV's :-/

 

i have a tmaxx with brand new motor and a xxxnt plus a buch of rc stuff charger, radios ,parts ect.

the revo is awsome. the only thing that is nesesary is to get aluminum shock rod ends. the truck is extremly durable. ive jumped it stock off a ten foot ramp and it went about 20 feet high and 30 foot long and never broke and did this over and over again. Its also alot easier to control in the air than a tmavv

 

ive had the duratrax overdrive ST, nitro evader BX, an associated RC12Gt, first T maxx, and the 2nd with the pro 2.5, the E MAXX, and the e-rustler. out of all of them i would tie the 2nd T with the E for my favorites. only reason the E is tied is the ease of electric, quietness so no neighbors complaining, and the price of charging a batterie compared to a gallon of nitro. but the E easily pops wheelies in either gear and goes dang fats also. and I will concur with the RPM a arms, I also had RPM skids on mine, and an RPM front bumper, pretty much bounced off what I hit with it and never really broke anything but one bulkhead on the T and nothing on the E and I drove em HARD.
