Default BB Truggy Maxx

Im currenty in the process of turning my Tmaxx 3.3 in to a Truggy. I wont be racing it but i have always wanted a truggy. Heres what I've done so far...

Racer's Edge chassis
HPI Star 25 Not going to keep it i just have it laying around and it needs use.
Tsais pipe
Tekno Wing Mount
And one Bad@$$ Mo' FO' of a body...

Thats all i have right now, but im not done. What i need to purchase...

Integy Evo 4 Upper Arm's
Lowered shock towers
Dirt Bone Tires
Pro-Line Wheels
Mugen, Cen Genesis or HPI Vorza Shocks
Motor Mount
Chassis Braces
Losi 454 BB

This is what i know of so far.

Im having a Few Problems find ing parts for it.

1 I need to find a Motor Mount that will allow the use of a Big-Block. Its the same bolt pattern as the stock Motor Mount. I have contacted Racers Edge about it, still waiting though.

2 The chassis braces on my Tmaxx are to short. I have the older Tmaxx 3.3, the new Maxx is extended so those should do it. Can anyone confirm? My chassis is Black and Very Open.

And here's Pic's.........

I would not recommend the Integy arms...grab a set of RPM ones instead.

Good luck with this man

I like the Integy ones because they dont cover the shocks, they look more like a Truggies arms.

Perhaps, but you should stay away from metal arms specifically, and Integy in general. Stiffening the arms will just make something else prone to breaking. An as for Integy, their parts aren't very good quality. I have heard nothing but bad about Integy.

I probaly could grind away the stock arms, but i like a little BLING. I dont jump my cars because they always go rear end up.

I have never had problems with Integy except my Integy shock breaking from wheelies and some off-road... LOL

If you're gonna get metal arms, do it right and get a set of UE arms. At least then they'll look great and perform really well!

I have a the HPI .25 mount and its to big. The stock 3.3 one fits but it wont allow a big block to be used. Is there a mount that matches the 3.3, but you can use a BB with it.

PS... Got my body today, its looks really nice.

Sounds like your building a bb supermaxx? If so you need to get a bb chassis and bb motor mount.

justjumping aint what breakes your swing arms .
its hitting things with your wheels like a brick Curbs car tires trees and phone poles
swingarms can and Do handle ALOT of stress up and down <u>but thay dont handle stress from back and forth</u>.
