Hi guys
Im new to atvs, and im looknig at getting one this spring used. I am an avid R/C hobbiest, and i run a very large site and message board for the Traxxas T-Maxx at www.maxxtraxx.com Well.. just wanted to say hi, and i hope to be on these boards more and more!
Thanks!
Don

 

What are you planning on getting? It could possibly be the most fun you have ever had! Angelon400ex

 

heh thx. Ya im lookin for a used Warrior. I used to ride my friend's TRX 125cc at his house when I was younger. Total blast. Now I can afford to get one. This question probably gets asked a lot, but what should I first mod on the bike to make it handle better, be more durable, higher performance?
Thanks!

 

Hey, and great pics! I viewed probably every single one lol. Totally got me in the mood to ride. I cant wait! Looks like you guys have lots of fun!
Thanks
Don

 

Welcome aboard!!!! I too am an rc enthusiast...currently own a duratrax with an os12, but am looking to get into a tmaxx soon. Along with the nitro cars, I fly helis (nexus,LMH)

The nitro car fills the void when I am not riding the quad....

Good luck with your decision on buying an atv. You will have a blast. No offense...but if your totally new to atv's...don't worry about hop ups just yet...get used to the ride and then you will know what you need to taylor it for yourself.

I had a warrior for a while...and they are great quads....Now I have a banshee, blaster and 400ex....you might try to persuade yourself into the 400ex depending on your funds....It is quite reliable and plenty fast without any mods at all. But slightly higher priced than a warrior and no reverse.

 

What's up and welcome maxxtraxx. I'd say for handling maybe new shocks or extended a-arms but that gets a little expensive. For performance I'd have to say the biggest(and easiest) gain is from an exhaust with jetting, also an airfilter can help get it really breathing good(did you ever run a couple miles holding your breathe every 3 breathes-get my drift).

 

Welcome aboard MaxxTraxx
I'm big on R/C cars and the brand traxxas, I have a nitro hawk fully tricked out with a traxxas pro .15 w/ machined alum. head, it does about 50mph and weights in at 5 pounds.
Good luck on buying a new machine, if your going to put on a first mod. start with a air filter and a pipe/silencer combo, that will put a quick boost to your machine.
