Status: offline 		Well i followed the break-in stuff, and its all broke in.. But everytime i jump it, i break something even on little 3ft jumps. I broke it 4 times on my 1st day. My friends got mammoths and savages and they hit the exact same jumps and never break.

What parts should i get to make my t-maxx stronger and how much will it cost? Or would it just be cheeper to buy a savage or mammoth?

what more could you ask for with RPM if it breaks you send it back and they send you a new one

Status: offline 		Trucks don't break on their own, drivers break them I have owned 4 maxxes, broken one bulkhead and one front skid plate. Its all abotu the driver. I don't baby them either, I race them every weekend and there are not too many more places where you will get air and lots of it about 4 times every 35 second lap. Just learn to drive and it will stop breaking.

Status: offline 		Heh don't mean to upset no maxx fans but.. At are local ski-hill theres a 13ft high table top.. Its made out of dirt so in the summer i hit it with my savage.. Well anways i launch my savage full speed at that and get about 25ft of air.. Ive even landed upside down, sideways before trying backflips and stuff. Ive only broken 1 thing off that jump and ive hit it about 100 or so times, and that was a arm brace.

Status: offline 		a ski hill has a well how should I say tilted angle so when you wreck it isn't usually straght into the ground is it, you momentum keeps moving downhill thats why if you haven't noticed they don't make a ski jump thats huge and has a flat landing are or otherwise skiiers would break there legs landin it
