Does anyone know if this is a worthwhile upgrade. I have a Tmaxx (Traxxas engine) and I' m looking for hopups that will boost the truck performance. Any help is appreciated.
thanks,

My Feedback: (1)
Boost bottles and chambers don't do jack. The theory behind them is that they are supposed to store fuel/air mixture at low throttle so upon acceleration the engine doesn't bog down because it has loaded up. I have tried them just because one came with an engine I bought and was already drilled for it.

boost bottles are claimed to make throttle response smoother, nothing about adding power. If you want raw power, drive your car without a pipe or muffler. Then you will have great power but no engine life.
With a TT pro .15 engine in your T-Maxx, the best hopup at this point is to get a better engine. a .12 for racing, like some of the RB rear exhaust ones, or go with a big block .15 or .21 (you need some type of big block conversion for that) and enjoy all the power you would ever want. Even better, buy a conversion for twin .21 engines, and you will have the best acceleration and torque on earth
