RE: jumping a t-maxx
one made out of foam with a jello landing
joking aside something with a bit of a dish (like you see in skate parks) works best rather than a abrupt angle

RE: jumping a t-maxx
My Tmaxx seems to do well with the rear end lifted double what the front end is. Just make sure your landing is grass and not concrete lol. If you can get front and rear bumpers from TBone Racing before trying your jump, they are idestructable and WAY better than RPM, and may save you several bucks in the long run.
I would love to see you jump it, so make sure to bring a camera and throw it on youtube and send me the link

RE: jumping a t-maxx
Well I just jumped my Tmaxx 3-4 feet high only off a snow bank onto concrete and landed on the lid. Broke the shock tower clean off (stock). Mind you it's -29 and stock parts get brittle.

Dude get a grip. I own several Savages and a lot of T-Maxx's, I canset up a Maxx to beat a Savage, You can choose whatever engine that we will both run and what kind of running you want to do.

A small one. Sorry, I'm a Traxxas fan but the T-Maxx and E-maxx where not their best work.

RE: jumping a t-maxx
Hopefully you have upgraded aluminum bulkheads or else they will break. I can almost guarantee it, I only know because i've owned them and thats the weakest part on the truck.
