Not new to RC, but got burned out a while back. Used to race RS4's and my RC10T2. That was 3 years ago or so?

Then I went to my friends house and he had a T-Maxx there for sale....whollly smokes, look at that thing. I never did the nitro thing before, but hey that thing looks awesome!

So I took it off his hands for $170. It didnt run, so I bought a megatech m-16 engine, and the addiction began! Since then I've bought or have on order.

Radtech polished skidplates, A-Arms, braces and shock towers.

That's exactly what happened to me as well when I 1st got hooked. When I sleep, I dreamt of being at the tracks with my Maxx, when I work I can't help thinking of what to put into it to make it perform better and just wanna go have fun rightaway... my days are revolved round that truck and now, I'm telling you all about it... AT WORK!!

actually, when I bought my radrc gears/clutch, the guy on the phone actually recommended this engine with the ritter pipe to beat the 2.5 that my friend has. He said his gets 2-3 car lengths ahead of the 2.5 rather quickly. I had just spent $75 on the side exhaust system and he said that this motor would do it, so we'll see when it gets in. WHo knows?

I've got the HPI .15ss in my T-Maxx also. I have yet to be beaten by a TRX 2.5 It's a great engine that tunes easily and holds it's tune well.

Personally the HPI .15 SS motors are great motors. They are fairly powerful and the tuning of the engine is really easy. It seems to stay tuned unlike Traxxas motors which you gotta adjust each run.

heh, finished breaking in my 15ss, got about 7 tanks of gas thru it. Haven't leaned out the low mixture screw yet, so it chokes from idle still, but... Today my buddy comes over with his 2.5...and mind you I have these jumbo maxx tires on my truck with stock gearing, and his has stock tires...BUT....
He jumped all over me on the start, and as soon as second hit we were stuck in our positions....a change of gearing and leaning out my low mixture, I think I'll take him, or at least stay neck and neck, he thinks I will too, with the jumbomaxx tires even!!...this nitrostar.15ss motor kicks butt....nice job HPI! he's talking bout the sirius motor now.
