I have access to a vertical mill so I might try to make them out of aluminum and see how it goes.

Yeah I realize they won't fit on the stock A arms, but I was thinking of modifing them so they could work. I really like the look of the large shock. Makes it look more realistic. Eaiser to tune a suspension with only 4 shocks, but I don't want to go with the 1/8 size.

Has anyone tried to use the huge lst shocks on their maxx? I have only heard good things about them monster shocks.

I just want to go back and forth as I get bored with one motor choice. I really like the T-maxx and the way it jumps and handles, but I don't want to buy a new E-maxx.

Thanks for the ideas. I was just thinking about getting an electric truck also. I want to get a Twin Force, but was thinking about how to swap my T back and forth to save some dough.

Hey guys, I was wondering if it is possible to remove the motor and gas tank and put electric motors in the t-maxx. I haven't had the chance to look at a E-maxx to see how they are setup. Does it use the same tranny? I thought it would be cool to switch the truck back and forth from nitro to...

Do I have to use a piston/sleeve combo specifically for the trx 2.5 when I rebuild or will any P/S work as long as it is a .15 size? I was just wondering what my options are when the time comes to rebuild. Just wondering because I plan on buying a new engine in the future when I get bored with...

I am planning on buying some AL bulkheads this week and was wondering if they use the stock hingepins. Do different manufacturers use different methods. Just wondering if I need to buy hingepins with e-clips on both ends. Thanks!

I might use some old steel wheels from one of my model cars and drill an axle hole through.

I have a cheap alternative to buying a wheelie bar for your T-maxx. I used an old lower A arm and stuck the end were the hinge pin goes through into the upper slots on the rear skid plate. I then secured it with 3 zipties. It doesn't look pretty but it works great. It has begun to wear from...

I have been looking on ebay and there never seems to be any on there. They must have not made too many of them.

I am looking for the quad that kyosho used to make. Does anyone have one that they would considered getting rid of? Nitro or Electric. I have a Tower Tainer 40 airplane with a O.S. LA .40 that I am willing trade if someone wants to make a deal. The plane has never been flown, but the motor has...

I was thinking about getting some paddles for my T so I can play in the sand. If the paddles get supperior traction compared to regular off-road tires, will this add stain and stress to the stock drivetrain? Just wondering if any of you use paddles and what kind of durability issues do you have...

Does anyone here have any quads? If so. what do you have. I am currently building a 1987 Yamaha Warrior w/ a 550 4-clyinder in it. I am going to die! Should be insanely fast. There's a picture of it in my gallery or check it out at www.geocities.com/jmgyomory1

Thanks olds97_lss, I didn't realize I could just buy the carb body. That makes it a whole lot cheaper than buying the complete carb. I'll be sure to pick one up. I guess this shows were a roll cage would have come in handy. Do you guys use roll cages?

Are carbs on most nitro engines interchangeable. I was wondering if their are other carbs that would fit on the 2.5 in the T-maxx. I stripped the hole my high speed needle threads into. I flipped the truck without the body on and the needle took a beating. The side on the plastic were the...

One day last week I was reading past threads about waterproofing servos. I tried the techniques that you guys suggested like putting the reciever in a balloon and rubber coating the servos. I took my maxx out and had a couple run ins with a 5 inch deep puddle. (Not by choice, still getting used...

27 T-maxx 2.5 (first nitro vechicle owned)

Do you know what has to be done to the output shaft to attach the clutch an pinion gear?

Can an airplane nitro motor be used in a truck? I have an OS LA .40 engine laying around and was just wondering what to do with it. Is this type of motor different than a car or truck motor. Has anyone used one in a wheeled vehicle?
