New T-Maxx owner
I picked up a Gen1 T-Maxx from ebay auction ended yesterday here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1 since i can't take pics yet
and then i also bought this just in case the original motor doesn't run properly: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1 $111 shipped for complete package...brand new motor...id say it's a deal what about you guys?
I am going to get the wider suspension arms and updated shafts soon for this baby

RE: New T-Maxx owner
It's a decent deal because it looks like it comes with the header, pipe, coupler, motor mount, e-zsart, clutch, clutch bell, flywheel...basically all of the good stuff. the header and pipe won't be any good for you on your maxx, but you can always sell them.
i just picked up a 2.5 r for $75, but it only came with the pipe and header from a revo (I slapped the revo pipe onto my rusty, and will probably sell the header (which shouldn't be hard since revo owners seem to break a lot of headers)

haven't gotten it in yet...had to pay via mo...so i should prolly get it later this week or early next week...which sucks...I am going to hope it runs swell but if not i already have the trx 2.5 and all the neccessary stuff to upgrade the engine...next is wider sus. and shaving some weight

RE: New T-Maxx owner
I have a 1st gen max with the proline wide arms. If found them to be virtually indestructable. Ive bent numerous hing pins, a front bulkhead, severly bent my AL front skid plate so many times ive forgent, but the arms have held up.
If i had picked up a narrow 1st gen max id defintaly go with the proline kit again. I also HIGHTLY recomend the proline stearing kit as its MUCH better than the stock set up.
