This is the 2nd of 5 T-Maxx projects that I've been working on. The servos are the only thing that is not Aluminum on this truck. This truck weighs 13.8 pounds RTR w/o gas.

While the filter looks good on the shelf it does not have a foam insert that can be oiled to catch debir so the engine would not last long at all.

i was asking why would you spend all that money on something thats just going to sit. How much do you have invested into that thing?

I have a small RC Shop and love to build them. The shop supports my hobby so why not? With all the snow this winter I would have gone crazy without somrthing to do.

Mr Max Wheelie

people that build these have a real love for the hobby,not just the driving part but the entire hobby.......... if i had the money id make a nice shelf queen too........i like shiny!!!......it would be like building a working functioning model..... awesome job!!!..... ..mad respect!!

Mr Max Wheelie

This truck weighs 13.8 pounds RTR w/o gas. You would think that it would weigh more since everything but the tranny gears and servos is aluminum. This is why most Integy products are best reserved for Shelf Queens they wont take the abuse necessary of everyday bashing, jumping, or off-road running.

I purchase lots from destressed Hobby Shops and the like so current production products are cheap for me. I pay $0.20-$0.30 no the dollar for these parts. It can take 6 months to a year to collect all the parts for 1 truck so I have a dozen or so trucks that I am collecting for at any given time. It's the vintage parts that are hard to find and cost the most. I have around $400.00 in the JT Truggy, about the same as the Street Racer and Integy trucks combined.

yea i was going to bet it was in the 14-15 lb range, still looks good tho
