Are you still going to get one?? If so let us know how it goes! I want to know if Traxxas parts can be used on it or not!

LOL, you crack me up. Nobody here is yelling, I was simply stating that before you put your 2 cents in on any and everything try the product. You have no idea about alot of the things you post about in the way of performance. I am in no way bashing you Casey, this and all the web sites are great for information, but why praise is degrade anything unless you have actually tried it.

There again you have driven a TMaxx and a Savage yet never owned one. Sure I have friends that have different set ups than others, whether they say this or that is an excellent product or not even if I have driven theirs with these products, I WILL NOT give my opinion until i have owned that product and used it to it's fullest potential. Sometimes i just feel that your posts just aren't true due to lack of usage.

so basically by your logic, i cant say the TRX 2.5 engine has problems because i dont own it, but a huge majority of ppl have said this. I can't say the savage is to compact for my taste because I haven't owned yet. I can't say the evader is a beginner vehicle because I haven't owned it. Your logic doesnt make sense.

Usually when you drive someone elses rig you are extra careful so I dont see how one can have enough experince too post stuff about it. I have driven a friends car but I never knew what happened behind the seens.

A huge majority , there again everyone i personally know with TMaxx's with the 2.5 have had NO major problems. So for my "logic" making sense, yeah damn right it does.

I don't care what anyone says - I think the TMaxx 2.5 rocks. I own 2 of them along with some other nitro cars and electrics.

The only problem with the TMaxx 2.5 is my wife won't stop wrecking hers. Oh - that may not be a problem with the TMaxx, it may be a problem with who is driving it.

Keep us updated if it durable or breaks easy or what. I want to know.

I have a TMaxx but for my kids thinking of getting them a CEN MT2. Can put a .21 in it with no conversion.

Default Study,

You can drop a .21 right in a CEN MT2? That is to cool! The MT2 is not all that big is it?? Plus it only weights about 8lbs! If the trans can take the extra power that thing will smoke some real *****!

There is another thread with the CEN Rep posting in it if you do a search. He says all you have to do is swithc the clutch and something else and that is it. Tanny and all will be fine he says.

you are right but these people at excel hobby are not very helpful, plus I already have $75.00 already in, in parts. All they offered was to send me a new truck after I've already spent time trying to set it up, plus I could get one that's worse, and no option for refund!
