SPORTMAXX Project
Hi there, i am wanting to show you my Sportmaxx, and tell me some suggestions about modifications that could be done to make it look better/stronger, i do have a TRX 3.3 on its way, but more suggestions, maybe from actual sportmaxx owners?
Here are some pictures......

. I like your color combo, but IMO you made a mistake with the motor choice.

Those are RWD right? Perhaps converting to 4wd with the new 3.3 power. The 3.3 is a beast

Sorry but the 3.3 is not a beast. The RB 523 and picco are much more beastly then a 3.3 ever will be. Even a 18TZ are more of a beast than a 3.3

In that case then, the 3.3 is the most powerful engine out and will eat a 350 V8 alive!

Yes convert it to 4wd. I would say one of my favorite upgrades were high torque servos and upgraded receiver pack. You will have so much more control and throttle response.

RE: SPORTMAXX Project
also ordered a HPI Land Rover Defender Bodyshell, and some new brake pads and discs.
Would i need to change the gearbox, due to a bigger engine?
