Default What kind of truck is this???

Its a truggy but thats all i know. It has a hot bodies .26(I think maybe a .21 not sure) I traded a broke HPI RS4 with no motor and missing parts for it. I don't know the guy and I can't get intouch with him. He told me it was a traxxas truggy but I want to make sure so if I break parts I can order them. And it needs a new clutch what do you recammend?

thanks

its a truggy conversion they sell for the tmaxx its pritty old school uses center diff from a gs storm. i almost built one of these back in the days but due to its limited gearing option i built a jt hybrid supermaxx in stead wich was a much better tmaxx truggy conversion. everything on the front and rear of truck is tmaxx parts

I'm out of fuel and I was told it needed a new clutch. As soon as I get some fuel I will try to fire it up and run it. O yea and I will clean it too. thanks for the help

the only weak spot on that truck should be the tmaxx diff should handle that hot bodies engine fine if there shimmed properly. but if you want to fully bulletproof it i would get some u.e. 6 spider diffs wich are 1/8 scale diffs in metal diff cases that fit in tmaxx bulkheads. then you should realy be able to drop something more power on that thing

its not a jt i use to have a jt tmaxx conversion the jt uses a ofna dominator gas tank and ofna radio box. your getting them confused because the top plates look a little similar with the cut outs in the front and rear.
