Krazy Chicken

what would it take to make a tmaxx able to withstand most crashes, and hard hits with one tire? Can any one tell me if the parts im getting are good for the first question?

1. RPM A Armes
2. RPM shock towers
3. RPM bumpers
4. RPM bulk head braces
5. Aluminum bulks
6. RPM skid plates


That is all i think i would need, please suggest any items if i missed any.



Thank you

cmerritt

some people may say no aluminum bulkheads but i have some and they are great. the rpm bumpers aren't necessary, but they do look cool.

i would add:
-titanium hinge pins and turnbuckles

RPM is good, better than aluminum at least.
I see in your sig you only have the .15, get the wide arms then, should make it more stable in turns, shouldnt flip as easy.

My dad ran his T-Maxx and he broke two dogbones at the track. The first was the 3.3 ones and then he replaced it with a 2.5 and snapped both of them. Maybe it is a weak point and you should get CVD's for it.

cmerritt

i didn't see that you had a .15. you should definitely get the widemaxx arms. that also means that you will need new driveshafts anyways so you could easily just get CVD. you would also need new turnbuckles (titanium)

Krazy Chicken

i already did the widemax with rpm a armes, and the stock driveshafts are the same as on the tmaxx 2.5.

so back to the original topic were do you get titanium hinge pins? and i was planing to get the 3.3 nuckles, and drive shafts

cmerritt

here are the hingepins...

they're really good for only $16

rpm is good stuff but it can be broken, trust me,
as for the lunsford pins they are good too, they bend quite easy i think tho, i bent 2 of mine right bad,[:@] i got a hammer and a 4x4 and they straightened right out !!

cmerritt

really, i clipped a mailbox around 30mph and my titanium hinge pins was fine. maybe i was just lucky

Krazy Chicken

how did you break them, and what did you hit to bend the hinge pins?

back to the original post, so now on my list of stuff to get to make my truck ablt to take pritty much any hard hit from any angle is,

1. RPM A Armes
2. RPM shock towers
3. titanium hinge pins
4. RPM bulk head braces
5. Aluminum bulks
6. RPM skid plates
7. 3.3 Drive Line

when i did both of my maxxs up,i went with aluminum chassis braces as well,ties everything together nice and tight

NStampede Freak

I wouldn't bother with the shock towers. The stock ones are fine.

i broke the arm on a botched landing , all the force of the truck on one wheel i guess done it, that is how i bent my pins too , i am not ragging on either brand RPM or lunsford , both of them are great, the stockers shure didnt last as long as the others

as for your list, the other items look good as well ,
i am thinking of getting the steel MIP center driveshafts tho , my 3.3 shafts break alot on me, just a thought for ya

novakmaxx

You should get alum bulk heads. I have broke a lot of stock 3.3 bulk heads bashing me t-maxx and e-maxx.

Krazy Chicken

i have them on my list, i and i hered about the stock ones not being that strong
