T-Maxx 2.5 Hop Ups
Hey guys,
Recently I acquired a T-Maxx 2.5 for Christmas and have a little "upgrade fever" , what do you recommend for upgrades? Certain aluminum parts, aftermarket pipe, visual pieces?
Here's some stuff I like:

I like the servo guard, and besides that and bulkheads, i would stay away from aluminum, especially Integy. Some good upgrades would be RPM suspension arms, a 5 cell receiver pack, better steering servo, and yes, a pipe would be good. That head looks cool, but i have no idea anything about them, maybe someone else could chime in on that one. If your not going to use reverse, a FOC (forward only conversion) would be good too. I don't think they have bearings in the steering bellcranks, not sure, but that would be a good investment. About all i can think of for now.

I remember seeing someone come in to my LHS one day with a 100% integy T-maxx. Guy said he got it for $200 RTR looked like it was never ran(hell it was so heavy it probably couldn't move with the stock engine
) The LHS employees almost choked when they saw it and the manager was like uhh can it actually move?
