What other parts should I get for my maxx?
Alright, so far I have a brand new t maxx 2.5 about 3 weeks old, and so far I have done:
Tranny skid plate (a FULL one, not just one flat plate)
Servo Skid Plate
On-board temp guage
Fuel Filter
Throttle Return Spring
Full Roll Cage
Upgraded spark plug thing a ma bob. (that blue wire sucked bad)
And I think that is it. Now I am thinking maybe some shock sox? (shock covers for those who don't know what they are) so that dirt and stuff doesn't get in there while driving in messy places.
Can you though think of any more upgrades that will be worth it? I don't want to get metal A-Arms yet, or a new exhaust, or a new colling head. I WILL eventually get all of that, but I would like the stock stuff to last as long as possible, and then once it breaks, which is just a matter of time, I will upgrade then.
But, right now I would jsut like to prevent stuff from breaking, that's why I got the skid plates, roll cage, temp guage, etc....

Well Dan,
I replied to your other post about tires and I have done one other upgrade also.
I got the 3 piece skid plate set from RPM. I have noticed that the rear suspension are collects a lot of dirt and stick and stuff. So I really wanted the center cover to keep that stuff out of there.
I am not real happy with the RPM set tho. The screws they provide are the same length as the stock ones, so you end up short and they easily strip.
I could have got a way with just the center cover and had I known about the screw issue thats what I probably would have done.
I have ordered some longer screws from Micro Fasters but I should not have had to.
