Pics of my T-maxx...
Hi, don't think I've introduced myself yet. Name's Steve and this is my 3.3 T-maxx 
Here's the mod list so far:
RPM front and rear A-arms.
Integy chassis braces.
Trans RPM skid plate.
Front and rear RPM skid plates.
Integy aluminum chassis.
1100mah NiMH Hump pack.
70wt Trinity shock oil.
I want to make some kind of strong roll cage, add silicon tubing to the shocks to prevent bottoming out, and a cover for the servo.
I've read post about people asking if they can hose down their tmaxx to clean it and I do all the time. Just use common sense (don't squirt water in the air filter, wait for the engine to cool down, don't spray water directly into the electronics
) I couldn't imagine cleaning my tmaxx w/o the hose! And here's a pic right after a wash down:
Bottom:
Noticed I was missing 2 screws from this side and 1 from the other [:@]
Top:
Side:
Front suspension after I pick the truck up and set it down lightly:
Front suspension after I push down on the truck. I don't know if that means I need some new suspension or springs? Doesn't bother me but maybe it could be better! I use the truck for jumping btw
Let me know what you think...:

RE: Pics of my T-maxx...
your integy chassis braces are alot cleaner and undented more then mine. But i have you beat on salt. My rc has salt on the chassis that i cant get off so i remember it there by the incident that happened in the winter.
Nice truck. If you want better suspension, get some better springs. I got some insane strong springs that i can ride my truck on 4 springs instead of 8. They are good yet i dont know the brand.
Good trucks and good bashing!

Toofazt, the stock springs are very soft, after a while the truck starts to sag, if your truck is bottoming out from small jumps then you may want to upgrade to stiffer springs. Ive got chrome dual rates on my streetmaxx.[8D]
