Yeap!

I just bought my very first T-MAXX!

EMT, thanks. I got some parts at my LHS, some off e-bay and some from major hobby retailers like Tower Hobbies and HobbyPeople, and the tubeing for the chassis came from Advance Auto. I used parts from an E-Maxx, X-Factor, Savage, MGT, and a T-Maxx. I guess I`m still a kid at heart, only now I prefer to build my toys. :roll:

Speed_racer, the nitro trucks are a blast, arent they. I love my Savage, it`s like a Timex- Takes a licking and keeps on ticking. recomended first hop-up for the Maxx, Alu bulkheads. I`ve seen my buddy break 3 sets of stock rears in one afternoon on his 2.5 Maxx.

Oh and anyone interested in the RC Crawling thing look here http://www.rccrawler.com/

You gotta show that to a guy named Dan Dibble on PBB. It looks just like his rig. BTW, NICE work.

Im a sucker for RC as well. Here is the one I built last winter.

How did you mount the body panels on yours? Looks real good.

Hulk, I`ve seen that somewhere before, the Outerlimits4x4 board or some where. Anyway thats cool as hell. I mounted the hood and decklid to gussets welded to the chassis and the sides "sadwich" the tubeing so that I have matching pannels on the inside.

Speed, good call on the roll cage, I need to get one for the Savage but it`s already too heavy.
