i have a question,and it might sound stupid but im serios,does putting alum arms shock towers and skid plates make the 2.5 not do wheelies and will it be alot heavier.

im not sure about the wheelies but i do know that it will be alot heavier. i had an emaxx that had all alum. and it weight a ton.

Tmaxxedowt,
I noticed you have different colored springs on your shocks, I am assumming that one set is stiffer than the other.  What kind of benfits does that give you?  All of mine are red.  You have yellow and red. 

dspaeth4

i think it give you more stability at top speed im not positve but i pretty sure

revel67 nice thunder chassis! i have one myself as well as a predator.

Thunder chassis? It's an UE supermaxx chassis very strong chassis... I'm not gentle with my Maxx


p.s thanks for your comments.

Mr Max Wheelie

cool maxx revel.........looks good and is making me a bit jelous!!

revel67

Thanks!!! I'm looking for a new body for it (those bodies are about 4 yeras old)

this is what I have in mind!!!

dspaeth4

that thing looks amazing but i am so glad i decided to take a brake for a few hours becaus i am upgrading my maxx to alum and it is such a hastle but i know it will look sick like yours.one more question,does it pull wheelies with all that weight

revel67

yes it does when I have 18/72 combo. but when I have that setup I lose top speed.
but right know I'm running 21/72 setup... and the back squat down and the front raise up just enough..then 2nd gear hits boy that thing is fast.
that .21 ofna hyper is no joke!!

dspaeth4

ok cool thanks, do you think it will do that with a 2.5r or a 3.3

revel67

I really wouldn't know believe or not I never seen a T-maxx with 2.5 or 3.3 in person(running that is)
that was the first thing I upgraded the .15 pro
extended UE supermaxx chassis,.21 hyper turbo engine and custom made 1" offset aluminum wheels.(one on the kind) extra wide.
are you going all the way with the aluminum?
the only 2 things I have stock(plastic) are... bumper bracket and the huh carriers.something has to break on a crash right! $ 4.00 bumper bracket is not to bad after a crash!!!h
I upgraded about 7 years ago...and so far the only thing that I buy is fuel and a pullstart once in a while. (knock on wood)

dspaeth4

i am 100% alum and i hit a tree doing about 50 [bad fail safe] and never even left a mark except the body blew into a million peices

revel67

that's good to know....I also got a fail safe and "voltwatch"...... like this one.

LOL. Thanks. I'm well aware of those parts. I Have several thousand dollars worth boxed up waiting for a rainy day.

revel67

LOL that's why I only got the chassis and the titanium center shafts ($360.00) just for that. but I seen T-maxx (every single part supermaxx) run at wildwood N.J.


"Thunder on the beach" and those truck are tough!!! but they are about a couples grands a piece.
