Default Need Everyones Opinions...

I've decided to build a tmaxx from the ground up and need eveyone's opinion....
The only thing for sure is I'm starting with a spider chassis,
everything else I need to know..
The biggest engine I can use
Transmission..
Servos..
Everything, so remeber this is gonna be a tmaxx, so let's not go overboard and say "put a v8 engine in it".
I'm talkin everything....
For starters, the engine, what's the biggest without modifing anything (NO TAXXAS 2.5 ENGINE), would the picco p2 be the biggest????
and so on and so on....[>:][>:]

If you aren't afraid to spend the cash, there is NO substitute for UE, anyone who tells you there is, then they have never had it before.
