I've decided to keep my tmaxx and make it a all out basher and jumper. What do I need? I want to get RPM a arms, rc solutions roll cage, aluminum braces, tranny skid plate, big bore shocks, a more powerful engine, and mabey beef up the drivetrain. What else?

get some extra shock shafts unless you got the power to bend them back, because the rpm arms flex way too much in crashes.

If I get the money i would really like to get the Unlimited Engineering widetrack suspension. It's only $170 now! Geez I thought it was $260, I really want it now.

For more power, get either the sirio .18, fantom .18, or for extreme power ofna's .21 mid block. RPM a-arms and shock towers all around would be good. Big bores, progressives, or proline's new shocks would be the best, chassis braces, mayb alum bulkheads(i say mayb cuz i've never broke mine), and hop up as you break!!
UE's a-arms are very nice but you can never go wrong with 40$ a-arms that will be replaced for free whenevr they break(if you can break them). Everytime i hear aluminum a-arms, all i can think about is 160$ down the drain becuase of them bending. Never heard of UE's bending tho.

I was looking at other peoples race maxxes and I was thinking, "I wonder how good a 7lb maxx would fly." I think it would be cool to make a race maxx but can they hold up to bashing? Are they really weak because of the milled parts? And, they race MT's at my track. Should I make it a basher and race my buggy or make it a racer and bash both of them? :p I thought about it and ruled out UE arms. They would just weigh it down and if one bent they wouldn't replace it.
How much is the sirio?
