RE: How to Destroy a T-Maxx
Now you just extended your chassis for free
Just like some of us have figured out, it doesnt take much effort at all to eff up a T-maxx. You were thinking properly, just not driving the right truck

RE: How to Destroy a T-Maxx
I don't know what you were thinking running that thing there
if my car was in that parking lot I would have had some words to say to you
seems like it'd be easy to hit a real car with your RC

RE: How to Destroy a T-Maxx
jump any truck on pavement like that and it breaks......Savage would have broken shock shafts and bulkheads....Revo would have broken rocker arms and A Arms........LST would have broken diff carriers and chassis braces.....These things are not meant for landing upside down or sideways or while doing the spin of death in the air.......I've driven them all and worked on them as well and I can tell you honestly they all break when abused. Thats the way the manufacturers want it so we can all buy replacement parts for them.....

I think I change my mind in the air... not good...
Believe it or not it is only costing me a few bucks to fix. The bulk head, bottome skid just kind of ripped off seems to be the only real damage. I now know why people make some of that area metal. So far the T-Maxx has handled quite a bit of abuse since I got it. That landing that killed it was the 2nd or 3rd just like it. I kept freakin blowing it. We whould have turned everything 90 degrees and made the sand our landing, duh! The only thing that gets me with both the T-maxx and Revo is keeping the tune. I seem to have trouble with that engine more than others. I know the temp has been going crazy but still... Anyway I have been impressed with the truck so far, much much much better than the MGT 3... man that thing cant take any abuse.

yeah, and if this kid cartwheeled his tmaxx into a $60,000 car I'm sure he'd stick around and pay for the damages....
I would imagine a cartwheeling 10 lb tmaxx going at 35 mph could easily make a nice dent in a car, which is exactly why nobody should run anywhere like that
go find an empty section of parking lot

RE: How to Destroy a T-Maxx
these types of threads always turn into a polarizing topic. it looked like fun to me. we all agree that it's not a good place to run the truck, "kids don't try this at home".
now, back to the matter at hand...yep. that's a good way to destroy a t-maxx. personally, i'm looking forward to his next video. hopefully showing more carnage that i wouldn't do to my maxx but have always been curious to see.

Maybe you're right. If you bought it yourself, more power to you

While one might think these are just "toys"....they are more than toys....they are the real deal in terms of hobby grade r/c vehicles...

Anyway if you ever hear me say toy it was a mistake or a joke or something. These are the last thing from toys. Even the electric ones. This kid I know wants to go to electric only like it is the holy grail and he will never have to work on the damn car. I spend more time working on them than running them LOL.
I cant believe how fast I am going to fix this T-Maxx LOL... almost done now....

yeah, be careful out there though, in LA you have to be extra careful that a drunken lindsay lohan or paris hilton doesn't run over your tmaxx!

And that other dude is right, not one of those guys would pay for our car if they ran it over.

well I hope that if you crash your RC into a real car that you have the honesty to take care of that unfortunate event
you can do a heck of a lot more dollars worth of damage to a real car by hitting it with a RC than you can do to an RC by running it over with a real car
I'd hope if you rammed into a Porsche/Lexus/any car you'd not be one to pack up and run off

You know, I did not hit anything, car, dog, human, bird.... nothing... everything went fine.... enjoy the death of the T-Maxx and relax holms....
OH, and one more thing... the cops drove by all day and just laughed and watched us... Did not give us any trouble and THAT is a huge suprise in LA, in that area...
