    finally have a t maxx...........kinda

    so last week i pulled the bank card out and bought a 3.3 and front diff, drive shafts etc for my 2.5 smaxx. had quick wee blast with it on my street and can't believe how different the handling is. do you think it would be worth adjusting the slipper clutch??? i had mine done up pretty tight with...

    Hello all, can anyone advise me on what to get? :)

    shrimp check out a traxxas rustler. not much good on long grass but dirt roads and gravel it goes great, 40+mph, rwd lot of fun and think they are pretty cheap, i got mine 2nd hand of ebay for £50 and it was grand.

    how can i make T MAXX faster or more torque..

    boys think of it like the gears on your bicycle, with the gears on the pedals being the clutch bell and the gears on the wheel being the spur.

    Tuning

    it will be hard to pull because the engine isnt broke in. from my understanding the internals of ur nitro when new dont exactly fit 100% so that will be why it is hard to pull, pretty much the piston is to big for the sleeve, when u run the rc and get it up to temp the metal used expands, and...

    Associated RC10 GT2 RTR vs Traxxas nitro sport vs HPI firestorm

    i have a rustler, think its the next model up from the sport, which is a great wee yoke. goes like stink and is a blast. only problem is the traxxas engines (i find) are a bollocks to tune and to get set up right. dont get me wrong, once they are tuned sweet they wil blast all day long. as for...
