Default The New T-Maxx 3.3y

Me and my dad just purchased the new T-Maxx 3.3's as back up trucks for our Savvy's. What upgrades are absolutely necessary? What cosmetic upgrades won't hurt the performance? We are pretty big bashers and want the T-Maxx's bulletproof. Oh, and the title was a typo.
"The New T-Maxx 3.3" should have been the title.

Don't touch the diffs. They are fine because they are revo diffs. Aluminum bulks, lunsford hingpins, rpm arms, and bigbore shocks will make your t-maxx pretty much bulletproof.

Also upgrade the 3.3 con rod. Davis diesel makes a hd con rod that will keep that 3.3 from exploding.

OK. I'm gonna get pretty much everything that RPM makes. Why are aluminum bulkheads needed? Has anyone tried a aftermarket chassis?

The bulkheads are a weak point on the t-maxx. That's why everyone get alluminum ones. You need the front in alluminum more then the rear.

Once you break a bulkhead you will see why everyone converts. The bulkheads are a pain in the arse to replace every time you break one. Get aluminum bulks, rpm a arms and skids.
