What do i need to get started. new Tmaxx 3.3?

[carl250r]

well i got A FATOM PIPE , I GOt tons of crap for it, you would think i have been doing this for years. i have broken it and had it in pieces many times over now. i have the whole chaissis in aluminum the bulkheads, the braces and bumpers and skids. with RPM plastic A arms and shock towers. i have a aluminum rear diff housing. i just got all steel CVD's . i did the forward only conversion. i got tons of spair parts for it on ebay. i buy more every week. i can brake it and fix it usualy with all the spair junk i keep buying. i am having fun with this thing.

i ditched the gay jeep body . and i run a old chevy truck body and a superduty F350 body.

i am having very good luck with this engine. it is fast and easy to start and tune.

i ditched the over sized rims and tires that were on it and run regualar traxxas ones and it is much better like this.

The Duratraxx 2.7 buggy will smoke them all, flat out hauls & jumps flat to.
The Tmaxx is a good tuff truck but the 3.3 is to much for it & you have to use to much throttle control when jumping, lot of crashing, but hey, its tuff.


If you want a truck that you can work on all the time, get one of those big Mamoths HTMs, boy spend more time fixxing them than filling the fuel tank.

what sort of goodie bag do i need to make up?

like a gear bag or tool box of crap to go allong with it.

i never had a gas car before.

i am old school ,28 years old. i used to have cars and trucks tamia and traxas, like the grass hopper, the frog,black foot,hellwig,ninga,POS FX10 futaba junk,and a sledge hammer it was nice.bolink nascar looking thing.i allways wanted a tamia clodbuster.

but this Tmaxx 3.3 looks like the thing to get. it is bad to the bone.

i just wunder if i should have stering knuckels and drive shafts , servo savers and steering compontents. and i dont even know about what nitro parts ? glow plugs and other thing? who knows what?

and how are these trucks? are they strong enough to take a beginers abuse?

i am sure there bad @$$. but do any of you want to elaberate what you think of them.and also give me any recomendations?

well it comes with the started , and a glowplug, all you will need is a 2 extra glow plugs , traxxis fuel, if you use anyother fuel it will fuck it up ,a ton a aa batteries, that 3.3 is one badmofo do 50mph wheelies all day long , i think you need to start with some alittle slower , the 3.3 is for pro driver and will git away from you fast , thats aloyt of money to throw away ,,, hahahahaha nevermind i thought you were ganna buy a jato 3.3 now that thing is badass, i would buy a revo before a tmaxx

I would have plenty of glow plugs, filter oil, batteries, nut drivers, flat tip screwdriver for jetting adjustments, SAE and Metric wrenches, etc. I wouldn't go nuts buying replacement parts until you find the weak points of the truck.....I have an RC10GT, and have already found those weak spots ( a few endos and running into shit showed me what I needed to upgrade real quick) The Revo's a nice truck from what I hear........The Jato's not for beginners by any means, it's a quick mofo..........

[carl250r]

i am in it very deep now.

i have tons and tons of stuff, robinson racing gears, tions of tools and glow plugs and parts and RPM parts and chassis upgrades and this and that, i have 2 grand in shit. 40 series rims with bowties,23mm hexes,

picco max motor hump packs for the reciever.

JR radio, extra cristal sets,

i cannot even get into how far i have gotten into this truck. i will get some pics up.

i put a 1/8 scale pipe on it header and all. and a 1/8 scale air filter.

i ditched teh opti drive and got a fail safe .

i put a spool in the rear. this truck is so fast . it is sick.

i just bought one of these nitro rc trucks, what do you guys think of this

[Ed Gein]

You get what you pay for.......I've never heard of ACME........

[iluvmyCR]

revo 3.3's are the best, i still get mine out every now and then, no pictures tho

[carl250r]

that acme is a off brand chinese piece of shit.

it might be good to buy though so you dont spend allot of money on a hobbie if you are just going to use it a few times and get bored with it.

there all a big waste of money all brands.

as long as your having fun is all that realy counts.

but i am nuts so ,i had to go off the deeo end with my truck. it is awsome.but still it is only a stupid toy truck. and it wont get me laid.
