That is a good price. A friend of mine just put a Dynamite .21 kit on his maxx, with an OS rg .21. He has the black chassis. Looks really sweet, but he blew his tranny 2 or 3 times in 3 days. So, thats just a little warning. Please dont take that wrong, im not talkin bad about a maxx, i love maxx trucks. I know my buddy is gonna sell his conversion, and the tranny he got off ebay with metal gears, if you are interested pm me. I'll get you his e-mail addy.

Ya, with hard running, you will have to upgrade the drivetrain sooner then later. Some last a long time with stock plastic and nylon gears and some don't, you really can't say.
Expect to pay $90 for the .21 conversion, $140 for the motor (e.g. XTM 24.7), and probably more for metal gears as they go.
