Hard NIGHT of bashing...lol
Ok I went outside tonight and I was killing my Maxx...
Broken parts
Front Bulk Heads
Both Right A-Arms
Servo gears stripped
Carbon disc brake snapped in half
Maxx body crack from the roll overs
hmmm....rear bulkheads screws loose for some reason..(p2)
Pull Start
looking for more parts that are broken..... Here go afew pics
PS most of these broken parts happen when I hit a tree a 3/4 wide open..Keep in mind it was really dark outsidelol THANK GOD FOR EBAY....This gives me a reason to buy a savage..lol

so, you think a savage would be able to handle being thrown into a tree at 25-30 mph? I doubt that there is a truck out there that could withstand that without breaking SOMETHING... I've never done that... I hit a bicycle with mine... I was screwing with it... had the throttle pegged... and slammed into a parked bike that I didn't notice... took the bike down... scratched my bumper...

You know when i was looking to buy an rc and was interested in bashing almost everyone said get a tmaxx. Well Im not to sure anymore cause everytime i jump and I dont do huge jumps, i break something! Starting to wonder if a salvage wouldnt have been a better choice? Just my 2cents.

well my pal davie-tree-maxx was racing an mgt up at this open park round my area, and he looked back to see where the mgt was in the distance and hit the only tree you could see for hundreds of metres, well as i watch his t-maxx do numerous flips and rolls whilst still climbing this tree, he eventually turns round to see his truck in the air and to all respect of the truck it landed on all four with nothing but a dent in the tree believe it or not i was there and seen it happen so i know how tough the t-maxx is

Hmm when I use to live near my Rc buddies I had a Maxx Bry had a Maxx and a Savage Louis had a Nitro Quake and steve had a Nitro Sport and for some reason after all dday jumps and racing the Savage would still be running all he had to is go thru a quick check of the parts and clean it and it was ready for another day..I say every 3 out of 5 times I run my Maxx I break something....

when I drive my rc in the dark I put the blinking lites on the body mount poasts. the lites I use are the ones that go on a cars valve setm. they are called tireflys I think. makes it a lot easer to see waht way the car or truck is going.

well ive had two maxx's and all i ever broke was a blulk head from a head on crash with a wall that didnt move lol.... my friend had the savage 21 and sold it cause he hated working on it..... our trucks would break just as much but they were easy fixes but the thing was it took me half hour to fix and took him 4 hours to fix because of the savage set up... all the main stuff is inside the truck.... had to take off the side brace thingys to fix almost everything... the savage was nice but the maxx was more conventional.
