You know, I really can't tell you what it is about my Maxx that I like. Though it's fast, my highly modified RC 10 will waste it. It handles like, well, a monster truck. I guess it's just the big tires, the ground clearance, and the 4WD. It's go anywhere stance is pretty cool too.

t-maxx or savage
well I have a t-maxx my self but im not here to tell you that the t-maxx is better than the savage or vice versa. Personally I think its funny when just cause somone has one or the other they go all out on why that one is better. All anyone should be giveing is advice u don't need a buch of t-maxx owners and savage owners geting in a pissin match do ya? I mean obviously they both have advantages and dissadvantages if u wanted pure speed I would go with the t-maxx and if u want really nice suspension I would go with the savage it really comes down to what you wanna do i mean u can upgrade the t-maxx's suspenion to be just as good as the savages and u can upgrade the savage moter and gears and stuff to get it up to speed with the maxx. I agree that i would reather have acceleration than top speed but stock the t-maxx beats the savage in both. Infact in the shootout of the t-maxx vs. savage the topic winners go like this:
starting: t-maxx
jumping: savage
top speed: t-maxx
drag race: t-maxx
track attitude: tie due to where one shined the outher sucked and vis versa
climbing: tie they both dug down on this hill with in inches of each other
now im sure these are contraversial but 4 out of 5 editors picked the t-maxx as the winner but it savage is not far behind

people argue over the stupidest things. we sometimes forget that we're all in this hobby for one reason, because we love it.
we are all kids at heart. Mines better that yours, yours is better than mine, who cares. let's go race and have fun.

Convert my Maxx to .21 or just get a Savage ???
I want to put an OFNA .25 in my Maxx and I need to know what parts I need to do this. Plan on using a powerline light flywheel and MIP clutch kit. I need to find the clutch nut that will fit and allow me to use a Traxxas clutch bell. Can anyone help me? Otherwise, I could use an ofna clutch assembly, but would need a clutch bell that had the same gear mesh as the spur. Help!

Heres your clutch nut !! This is for the sg shaft!! Your stock maxx flywheel, clutch, and clutch bell will bolt strait up to any Big block .15 to .27 with this clutch nut!! Have fun. But a note before you run the truck with a big block buy some 16mmX10mmx.1mm shims, and shim the diffs.clutch nut

RE: Convert my Maxx to .21 or just get a Savage ???
I read all of the first page, skipped the second because it was all "my Savage is better thanyour TMAXX" and I haven't taken the time to figure this one out yet. I believe the question was .21 upgrade for your TMAXX or get a Savage. I put a .21 OFNA/PICCO in mine, changed the tranny to forward only (got rid of all that extra junk in there) and haven't had any problems with it. Nothing but pull on the throttle and go with the forward only there's no waiting for that extra(heavy) clutch thats inside the tranny to work. Oh, I did have to change the gearing(to help stop the wheelies a little) and put on wheelie bars. The things a rocket. Another thing it dropped right in no mods at all. OFNA/PICCO P2MAXX21
The only thing around here that comes close to touching it is my REVO with the OS .18 in it. The .21 screams on hard surface by the way, I run it a lot in a big walmart parking lot. Wants to lift the wheels when it hits second! OH aftermarket pipe? Yep Fantom Engineering Tuned steel pipe.
EDIT: The gearing I changed was the spur gear and clutch bell.
