RE: show us your modified Tmaxx here
It is a 1/8 scale deflector on a Dynamite pipe. Got the deflector as a bonus when I bought the pipe off an E-bay Store.It is definetely a god send for sure !! Everything on this truck is brand new. Not a kit by any stretch. I am still in the process of breaking in the motor. I have a 44 tooth spur gear with a 19 tooth clutch bell. Dont want to break in the engine with a lot of bottom end. Once I am done breaking in the engine I want a little more low end.... you know some wheelies and huge climbing power? You think a 17 or 15 tooth Clutch bell gear?

RE: show us your modified Tmaxx here
i would go with the 15 and see how that works out for ya... thats what i want, is to wheelie.. dont think my 2.5r can do that, ALMOST tho.. maybe with a little better tuning..?
i guess i will have to see if i can find a deflector at the LHS tomorrow....

RE: show us your modified Tmaxx here
I am not sure if mine will do wheelies or not. But I do know that this thing flies in first gear and I am scared to let it go into second. Too afraid I will roll the thing and trash it if it goes that fast. I have an original T- Maxx with the Pro .15 and that truck in second is WAY slower than my new one in first. SO I am willing to bet if I drop the clutch bell it will pull wheelies all day and it will probably climb K2. What do you run?

19 tooth clutch bell, not sure what the spur is... probably something around 44... its got enough power for me, i just bash mostly... i would like to be able to wheelie though... its got FOC, aftermarket throttle and steering servos (high torque), Robinson Racing Spur... RPM Arms... front bulhead braces, new shock/body mounts... Imex pipe... it does the job... and its not stock... might need new diff soon, cuz something doesnt seem right...

RE: show us your modified Tmaxx here
My setup is trinity springs on 4 springs and stock springs on the other four. Rpm front/rear bumpers, Rpm front axle carriers, Rpm lower/upper a arms on the front, rpm true track rear a-arms, Integy front bulkhead, Gpm front/rear skidplate, On the photos i have tmaxx terra-pin tires and rims from the savage xl. I'll post some pictures later with my other tires: roadrage tires on proline offset rims(simply the best for pavement!). Tranny is a 3.3 Foc with wide gear and revo spec brake pad setup including spring mod. RRP hardened steel CB/Spur 18/44. The motor is a Trx 3.3 with slight timing changes(boost port, crank induction, exhaust) and flow cuts. I do have a picco .26 jl red dot on the way!

edit: oops almost forgot the steering servo is jrz9100t(370 oz tq @ ?) and throttle is sg5010( 156oz tq @.11) also i replaced the linkage bushings and bellcrank bushings with bearings. Yep this truck was once a 2.5r i basically replaced everything

RE: show us your modified Tmaxx here
Probably the sweetest T-Maxx I have ever seen was here in this very Traxxas furom about 2yrs ago. Somone modded a TMaxx to mount 3 engines, and it flew! I cannot find it anymore, either I am typing the incorrect key words or RCU has already put it into archeive since it was so long ago.

RE: show us your modified Tmaxx here
there suprisingly good even in mud, I am however going to trim off every other lug on the outsides just to get a little more side bite. the beadlocks work excellent, no problems with them at all.
