Ahh....a Traxxas guy huh? They make excellent products! The 2.5 Tmaxx is pretty quick for an RTR. I've been in and out of this hobby for the past 5-6 years. Love it to death to completely go away from it...
My truck in the recently released HPI Savage .21 . Right now, it's got a Hyper 8 port in it...but I've got a new Picco Outlaw 7 port .26 that I'm itching to break in. The weather hasn't been too good lately so I'll have to delay that for a while.

Nah, I just do some backyard bashing at a field near my house. I'm actually selling my Nitro Rustler for $200 with lots of extras if anyone is interested.

I don't race mine either...I don't like rules..! I just beat the heck out of mine in any vacant lot or open field I can find. Here's another picture taken during the day-  Joel, CA |

Holy crap Joel, if my monster 4 year-old, Jake, sees this post -I'll never sleep again...he'll be after me 24x7 for one of those! Looks like a cool hobby - I may have to try it.
Cheers,
Stod

If anyone is interested I do have a T-maxx that I can sell
I bought it 2 or 3 years ago. Did a few mods & ran it for the summer. I basically got bored with it. I know it has the Rpm wider stance rims and I have a brand new OZ motor for it. Never even took the motor out of the box.
Also have a tuned pipe on it. I also replaced the crappy ez start too. But like I said I havent even touched it in 2 years. It still has the clay dust on it from the last time I ran it. I only ran the stock body a couple of time, so it should be in really good shape. I have a 50's panel truck body on it now. (gravedigger style)
If someone is interested throw a number at me. I know I spent over 700 plus mods. I also know that I will never recoup anything near that.
Even better I swap it for a Black Brush Guard if someone would have one & is some what close by to me. Shipping would be nuts.
Let me know...

Those trucks do get some monster air! And they even land somewhat nicely. Its just a bear to contol them when they get that high. I used to run mine on a BMX race track

It's an expensive learning curve....but is actually quite simple once you get the hang of it..  The pictures were taken turning different jumps, but arranged to look time elapsed. You can tell by the clouds that it's not... Joel, CA |
