A recent production by the shop I work part time for. This is by far the most impressive truck built by the manager at the shop.

ya money talks lol almost to pretty to get dirty

[old phart]

Truly is beautiful!

Yep, the first time it's run in the dirt, it will be all scratched and gouged up. Se la vie! :D

[JerryL]

That is a real pretty truck!
The only thing they forgot to add is working driving/fog lights mounted through the holes in the front bumper. :D
Jerry

[Dirty Pirate]

alot of money went into that. but MP could still whoop its booty

[qua77ro]

I love comments from people who don't know jack. We get people who come into the shop and see one of the .21 converted T-Maxxes and say how their MP is better and all that. We gladly show them the truck at work and they quickly shut up. Think before you speak. If you've never run a truck like this which you probably haven't, then don't assume. Just makes you look like a fool. When you're able to to kick sand up 6 feet high and pop wheelies while already travelling 30mph, I'll be impressed. Till then you're just another person who thinks their car/truck is all that.

[Eternal RC]

Purple is Better;)

[Dirty Pirate]

yer just a punk brat who works at a hobby shop, its not even yer truck, u said its the managers, so not even of a penny of it is yers.

yes friends of mine have full supermaxx 21's and nonconversion 21's. and both of them own MP's and both are more satisfied with the MP. ive driven both of the maxxes. and the reason they wheelie is because the gearing. not the "raw power" if i gear a MP like that i could wheelie if i wanted. to mean wheeling isnt that cool, it was fun at first, then i changed the suspension and gears so it wouldnt do that. i can kick up rooster tails just the same with the right set of tires on.

to me that truck looks like a waste of cash. a truck that will never be bashed like it should, it will only exist so some dude can go on and on about how his truck is the best and how he poured 3k into it. but hes to affraid to run it. i build my trucks to race and bash, not show off.
this post to me looks alot like "hey guys look at my truck, its the best, i spent waaaaay too much money on it and im the coolest"

with the 2speed and rb worlds s7 in my MP it will easily go 50mph

[Dirty Pirate]

This is how a truck should look.. dirty and abused

im dying to know why the img tags dont woek. can i do html instead?

[Floyd Negrete]

You tell him bro , if his MP is all that he'd have big $ pics up there to.
All bullshitzen aside that is one nice ride I have a total of six T-Maxxes 1 cost over $ 5,000.00 another around 3 grand yhada yada yada but not one of mine is as nice looking as yours !
good luck with it and Iknow about pulling it up at 30 mph(can you say 4 os .21's). a partner of mine went from T to MP and he his happy with it even though its only 3.5 mph faster over a stock T-Maxx. LATE!

[Dirty Pirate]

i think the picture speak for themselves

[Eternal RC]

Dirty Pirate, Wow, thats cool to get dirty and wet. Hey, I dont see you covered up the servos and reciever to keep away from wetness. But I dont know where reciever in your truck.

[Dirty Pirate]

They are airtronics 94357 and 94358 servos. according to airtronics they are water proof, they have been more or less submerged and came out still working fine. the receiver is in a big battery/radio box. i sealed it up with some O2 sensor safe gasket maker and also ballooned the receiver up as well just to be safe.

[Floyd Negrete]

Dirty Pirate your truck shows one frickin ugly truck , this is what it should look like? what an idiot ,your sister would have photo'ed it in the air over a double or something? , but you show it flat in the dirt , does it run? ,does in have the inner guts under the body? cause it looks hollow? well thanks anyway for the ugliest pic of a truck i've ever seen, even radio shack rc's are better looking than that shhesh!. I'm out late!:eek: :o :p

[Dirty Pirate]

the point was.. i run my truck.. and its gets beat to hell.

[Eternal RC]

Hey Dirty Pirate. Movie 3 link is not working.. ahhhhhh:(

[Dirty Pirate]

i noticed that. how embarassing :(

[draggerman11]

Floyd, why are you being such a jerk? Your yelling at him, and critisizing him, because he has a MP. Pretty sad man.... And oh yeah, the T-Maxx will out handle, out jump, and out climb ANY MP!:D :p

[Dirty Pirate]

thats what they want u to think :) lol its a conspiracy i swear *look around suspiciously*

the Maxx sure does handle well in the air tho. the big clown tires on the stock MP sure make it do some funky stuff., they make it easy to do flips tho hehe

[draggerman11]

Hehe DP. Just get some T-Maxx treads on the MP, and no more binding suspension, and less rebounding!

[Dirty Pirate]

been there, done that
<img src="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1311024&a=9733401&p=52359203&Sequence=0&res=high"

[Eternal RC]

Dirty Pirate, I checked your photo albums, so you own all of those r/c cars? I noticed that you own Ofna and Mugen vehicles.;)

[draggerman11]

DP, did it help the handling?

[Dirty Pirate]

Eternal. i own a Mugen MBX4rr.. stricly raced with, never bash it. its too fragile (even tho its very durable) i just dont like to put the extra "miles" on it ya kno. cost too dang much to destroy.
Then i have the MP and the ofna gtp. the gtp. im not sure whether it was a good purchase or a bad purchase. it has run well only once. but that one time it ran well it was awesome. all the others ive had problems. blown diffs, blown tires.. glitching.. lol its a mess

and it narrowed the stance a bit. so its a little more "twitchy" only rolled it once since i put them on. these bowties are awesome on the track. handles better in the air, and on landings. i got some maxxmashers as well.. for playin in other places aside from the track. the maxx mashers even hook up on the pavement pretty darn good

[Eternal RC]

Dirty Pirate, wow thats cool. I am wondering why you dont get Ofna 1/8th buggy instead of Mugen. I see that you have Ofna Pirate and Ofna GTP.

[Dirty Pirate]

why not an ofna? well.. i wanted to race. ofnas are super fun to bash with. u will get laughed off the track with a gtlx or ultra mbx unfortunatly.

[Eternal RC]

I see! How about you would get Ofna Hyper 7? hehehe

[Dirty Pirate]

well. over the summer, when working at the hobby shop. we got to play with one. it broke a good bit the first trip out to the track. (btw, this is the pro version im talkin about) the weak points were mainly the knuckles. And luckyily enough kyosho front knuckles fit it . so we slapped on some fioroni ergal front knuckles. and problem solved. the one we played with was equipped with the brand new Novarossi SBK 0-1. it was fast and handles really well once dialed. so id say its a pretty good buggy. good job for ofnas first attempt at a race worthy buggy

[Eternal RC]

Well, I like Ofna GTP but I dislike RTR which it comes with radio. I think Ofna Pirate is insane and tough for sure. Pretty cool. Last one, I am not sure about Hyper 7...Probably Hyper 7 is kickass!;)

[Dirty Pirate]

i didnt get the gtp rtr. i got it while working at hobby shop. so i kinda scratch built it.. with a rb worlds s7 and a M8 radio (which i already had - run it with all my cars)

[bullfrog]

hey guys all is want to say i LOVE the way the MP looks those big fat meats that comes on its make me ummmmm n/m :D . im getting a t maxx for x mas and if i had e nuff money to throw down for a mp i would do it in a heartbeat.O and dont u HATE how newbies come on here and flame on us that have been here forever ( just incase u were wondering ive been on this bb since LAST x mas so about a year now i used to be crash n burn then i changed my name to bullfrog and i had 733 posts but when they changed the software and all my posts went away :( ) im not tryin to put down the t maxxbut all i can say about that t maxx is BRING IT!!! o wait im sorry i forgot the owner is SCARED to drive it. :o :p

[jeepdude_1]

All I can say is that is one cool Maxx, I would drive it !
I have both ( MP & T-Maxx ) They are both fun, Just depends where I am going to go driving that day. I think that my Maxx is better in the rocks and the MP is more of A sunday driver kinda of A truck. Now dont you take that the wrong way DP:D :D Thats my opinoin:p :p :p
I think that the Maxx needs some MP wheeles and tires.:p :p And I love the Thunder tiger motor:p :D
Well guys it's time to go to work see ya.

[morfeeis]

OK so I missed out on a lot but let me jump in here I try to back DP when u Maxx guys come on talken this and that. But this time I just will say why?

why would anyone in there right mind dump 2500 into any r/c car i have had real cars when i was younger that where not worth 2.5k (don't laugh i was young). i dare you to put that on a track with an ofna worlds 2 mbx 4 or even a moded MP they would kill it. i just don't get it, guess people do that for the same reason they get really big trucks (hide something or over compensate)..

note i never said anything bad about the Maxx just the silly people with thousand dollar cars lol or you guys insured lol

[drummer5]

Aight I bet u anything the hobby shop built the Maxx just to show what parts their shops carrries and that they have enought to build a complete truck. I mean come on guys, you gotta admit that it looks pretty cool with all the alum.

[Floyd Negrete]

C'mon Drummer that is one bad ride no matter how it got built or found that ride makes you drool and want to eat it !, ever seen any other ride do that? something about 8 shocks surrounded in bg$$$$$$$$ that says gimme!!!!!:p :p ;) :D

[Eternal RC]

Well, I like to see pics of dirty, wrecked, clean, lust pics that gonna make my pant WET! All that is cool to see something interesting. Please be unlimited with rc stuff.. Be certifable r/c addict to love those rc stuff! No flaming war, no criticize over person's rc stuff. Who cares if guy bragging about his r/c truck. I still enjoy to see pics about how good job he did and his pride for his r/c truck. Pics rule.

[morfeeis]

hey drummer OK that i can understand and that sounds smart. but what about all the other people that do it just for the hell of it. i think it's just not that wise of an investment

[JerryL]

DP and Floyd,
I would have hoped that this debate would have gotten old by now. Come on guys the MP and T are both great trucks and the owners of these rides may or may not agree but then opinions will vary on just about anything.

I for one wouldn't put that much cash into any R/C vehicle. My full side truck isn't worth but $3000 and it is what I rely on to get to and from work. If you got the extra money laying around and would rather put it into an R/C project then go for it. I would rather spend my money on upgrades that improve performance rather then eye candy. I wonder how much that truck weighs compared to a box stock T-Maxx. Without a .21 I bet a stock T-Maxx would walk all over this highly modiifed static display looking T-Maxx. But as far as looks are concerned this is one pretty looking truck that does well at showing how much aftermarket support there is out on the market today for the T-Maxx.
Just my thoughts,
Jerry



Moderator's note: If this thread does not get back onto the topic with less people flaming at each other then it will be closed.
JerryL


BTW here is what my truck looks like after a day of play.

[krayzie]

Morfeeis,, the B-2 ,F-117, and F-22 are not spy planes, the B-2 is a strategic Bomber, the F-117 is a tactical Attack Aircraft, and the F-22, is a fighter, and your town is not the main manufature, Lockheed Martin( although Boeing, is also part of the F-22 program) is, its just so happens they have a Assembly plant there.... :D ;) , anyways....


I think the T-maxx in those pics looks nice,. I personaly would not put that much in to a Maxx( atleast not at this point)Also im am tired of hearing about the T-maxx/ MP wars... There both good trucks.. both have advantages and dissadvantges to the other truck..Like Jerry said, that debate is gettin old..


Krayzie http://www.plauder-smilies.de/tales/grim.gif

[Eternal RC]

I like both trucks too. But I dislike RTR, so Tmaxx is RTR...Darn it.. I would go for MP non-RTR.:p

[krayzie]

actually there is an RTR MP...:D :p


Krayzie http://www.plauder-smilies.de/tales/grim.gif

[Eternal RC]

Hey man... I know that.

Actually there is non-rtr MP

[TC3Racer]

Jerry,

Thank you for coming in here and stopping this.
C'mon guys look at yourselves
"hahaha my MP is better than your maxx....."
"NNOOOO my MAXX is better than your MP!!"
C'mon you sound like 2nd graders complaining over who's bike is faster. Where more mature than this.

[Dirty Pirate]

we are? since when?

[Possumbot]

I personally wouldn't put that much into a nitro. With electric, speed is way easier. Fo dat much, you could put twin bl motors in. And the ext chassis, with extra fo alum goodie goodie. Now dat would get cho bling bling goin on full strizing. No problem with engines, just full on speed.

[morfeeis]

i was being nice till someone had to piss me off. it's not that i dont like the maxx :D i just hate everbody else car but mine lol j/k the maxx is a ok truck but i hate when people pick on my MP

[Eternal RC]

MP vs Tmaxx That is all about war

[GojuKohai]

Beautiful T-maxx. I'm kinda a off-road junky, and i personally wanted the best R/C i could find. MP had power and a indestrucible drivetrain, but it lacked ground clearance, and did not jump well (stock). T-maxx was slow top-end (2 speed makes acceleration pretty close bettween the 2 trucks) and a little tippy, but it has 4in of groud clearance under the front (or rear) skid, 5in. under the chassis. T-maxx was also the best jumper, and it had the most hop-up potential, and with enough money in it, could preform as well, and better on the gnarly stuff as a MP. It would also land jumps better. I currently have about $800 in my maxx. It has a .21 in it, and it is plenty quick, and jumps awesome. Plants perfectly, and comes off the jump with a "Bring it on" attitude. I personally haven't seen a MP run (a vid would be great) but i have seen similar 1/8th scale buggy/ truck hybrids. The NQ seemed too bouncy, and didn't look like it handled well at all. Off a 2 foot jump, it bounces twice when it landed. That when it actuall came down on all 4s. I'd love to own a MP also, especially due to it's drivetrain. But, I still love my maxx, because it can go over things i KNOW a stock MP,NQ, USA-1, or any other truck of that genere, would not have a chance at.

BTW, your truck looks awesome DP, I bet you could get some awesome lap-times with those meatgrinders.

[Eternal RC]

I see... Why not RC Car action make an article of MP vs Tmaxx? That will be good instead of flaming war in this forum. Mmmm Maybe someday TXT-1 would be nitro and smash MP and Tmaxx..:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[JerryL]

You know with the poor quality of my, now broken, digital camera it looks like the mud on my T-Maxx is the result of someone parking my T-Maxx under the South end of a North bound Mule while he was doing #2. :o :eek: :p

My T-Maxx with the lid removed and before it played chicken with a tree. :(

Note the zip ties around the top fin of the head and the forward most front shocks are the Aluminum Big bores. The only other mods that I have made is obvously the Stinger Kit. I have an Excursion Body but a friend of mine has not returned it yet. He is painting it to look just like the Mark Martin #6 Valvoline NASCAR car.

[JerryL]

Eternal,
You are joking right? They just did an article on T-Maxx vs MP in RCCA in case you were not joking. I will not say who won incase there are some that haven't read it yet.
Traxxas would wet themselves if Tamiya made the TXT-1 Nitro. :o :D OFNA would laugh at Traxxas while they cried on the inside and Tamiya would just stand and smile at the turmoil they started. I wonder which of the trucks would come out on top after the dust settled. Would it be the new kid, Nitro Version TXT-1? Would T-Maxx still be the disputed champ? Or would MP be the ultimate victor? Now that would be a great battle. Too bad it will probably never happen since the only TXT-1 they currently make is electric. :(
Jerry

[Eternal RC]

JerryL, I am sorry about that I dont know rc car action mag did an article about Tmaxx vs MP. What date of mag? I just subscribed it last month ago. I got back to rc stuff from last year.:rolleyes:

[draggerman11]

Eternal, it was the November, 2001 issue.

[Eternal RC]

Woah! That is next month! I havent got mag this month.. I guess I will get mag on Nov.;)

[JerryL]

Wow, three posts while I was editing my last one. :D No need to appologize. See you had such a great Idea that the RCCA guys did it for you. ;) Welcome back to R/C! Now you got me day dreaming of a Nitro TXT-1. What a concept, I hope RCCA does a head to head article with the TXT-1, E-Maxx, Clod Buster, and Jugg soon. Maybe for old times sake they could include the Electric USA-1 too. It just wouldn't seem right to have a competition with a stock Clod without having an USA-1 in the other corner. Clod vs. USA-1 was back in the day what T-Maxx vs MP is today.
Later,
Jerry

[Eternal RC]

Right, I remember long time ago that Clodbuster and USA-1 have been competed. Well, I doubt Tamiya would make nitro TXT-1 because Tamiya never tried make nitro Clodbuster. That is too early to talk about nitro TXT-1.:p We should save our surprise from Tamiya. hehe:D

[RCCARTMAN]

I was at Thunder on the Beach last weekend and some guys there were running Supermaxxes with RB Concept Worlds C4 engines and those trucks truly screamed. They were a sight and they will be my next Maxx vehicle.

[JerryL]

Is it just me or is the TXT-1 being talked about a lot lately? I know I find it hard not to write about a Monster Truck without thinking about this new truck. But anyways, let us get back on track and drool over this little Hotty of a T-Maxx. It sure is all dolled up. It looks like it should be on a Showroom floor rather then a muddy, dirty and otherwise less then sterile track. I would be hard-pressed to actually run this truck. I would still like to know how much this truck tips the scales. qua77ro could you put this thing on a scale and let me know how much it weighs? I am betting that with both trucks dry it is almost a full pound heavier then a Stock T-Maxx.
I beat my T-Maxx like a cockroach and it keeps coming back for more, within reason of course. Yes my truck is currently broken but if it wasn't for that drunk tree staggering in my way it wouldn't be. Man I just wish I would have had a microphone around when my T-Maxx hit that tree. I heard two things, the THHWAACK of the impact and the OOOOHHHHs of the kids watching it. I must admit that it was funny as heck, expensive, but funny none the less. I still can hear the sounds of the impact and the laughter of the children as I ran to see what the damage was. I would have paid good money to see the look on my face at the exact moment of impact. :D :D
Jerry

[Eternal RC]

JerryL, not you.. I started it talkin about nitro TXT-1. That is too early for me to talk about it. hehe... Well I think everyone love and worship Tmaxx. Can anyone set up new religion of Tmaxx?Tmaxx religious! ahhh

[JerryL]

Don't go Correshion on me now. :) T-Maxx is a great truck but I don't want to read about you having a repeat of the Branch Devidian because someone didn't want to join the "T-Maxxian" religious movement. Next thing you know you will be paying 3 grand to make a T-Maxx like the one above to worship as an idol. ;) :p
Speaking of pretty trucks, did you see the green and silver one in the R/C show forum? It was a nice piece of eye candy too.
Jerry

[morfeeis]

Yes my truck is currently broken but if it wasn't for that drunk tree staggering in my way it wouldn't be

roflmao

[kaiserscosie]

Wow, all of this hostility over what in both cases is just basically a toy. Don't get me wrong i love my R/C's but with so many other things in the world to get angry about (WTC) it just seems silly to get all worked up about R/C's. With all of your guys built up frustration maybe you guys should join the military and fight. I know if everyone in America were as passionate about eliminating terrorism as you guys are about your R/C's there wouldn't be any terrorist left to fight. Makes you wonder where all of our values are huh? In any case that maxx is one awesome looking piece of hardware. Oh yeah and that MP with those bowties looks sweet. How does it handle with those on there? I jumped one with the stock tires on it and when it bounced around like a 40yr old stripper with a loose top on. I mean it was like it didn't even have shocks on it. I 'd be interested to see what it can do with smaller tires on it. Oh well i guess when i finish paying off my dentist (just had my wisdom teeth removed, DON'T EVER get it done, LOL) I'll look into getting either of the above. Those both are nice rides though.

[DesertRacer]

I really like the trick T-Maxx!

I agree this a hobby - it should be fun. :)

[nascarfreak88]

hey Jerry whats that thing stiking out of the Stinger pipe?

[DesertRacer]

I think it's his fuel presure line...

[Eternal RC]

JerryL, Hahaha I am so silly about Tmaxx religion. That sounds stupid. LOL Well, what the heck is Correshion? Oh Yeah I've SEEN green and silver one in the R/C show forum - that's very pretty truck! That is gonna be fit with .21 engine. I am very interested to hear people to talk about how great performance of .21 engine in Tmaxx, probably RCCA would make an article about it.:D :rolleyes: ;) :) :cool:

[Floyd Negrete]

This is just RC talk, if you feel we are getting to hot over the topic well close the thread big deal you woman ! It's part of the fun to talk a little crap and if you can't take the heat then get out of the Hobby store, moreover trash my T Maxx's, Clodzilla,E- Maxx or whatever ride I own it's all good social studies, even though we smart talk one another I'm sure we would all open are tool boxes and whip out the spare parts to get you going if you were to break down like a MP would !lol! you get the picture and if you have to take it to heart well then get a Radio Shack RC and wait for X-mas. :p :p :D :cool:

[Dirty Pirate]

but but but but, u called my truck ugly :( *sniff sniff*

[TC3Racer]

that would be the day when we see a tamiya nitro MT beat out an ofna and traxxas in a shootout. i'm sure tamiya already has plans for a nitro TXT-1.

[GojuKohai]

Tamiya could call it TNT-1
Tamiya Nitro Truck 1

[JerryL]

Well the thing sticking out of the side of the pipe is the pressure line. And there is an extender, little yellow fuel line protector being used to extend the exhaust beyond the rear of the trucks body.
By Correshion, spelling is most likely wrong, I mean the leader of the Branch Dividian, also probably spelled wrong, Compound that the ATF, FBI and others stormed in Waco Texas several years ago.
LOL at DP but but but but, u called my truck ugly *sniff sniff*

Jerry

[Eternal RC]

JerryL, ahhh yes Branch of Davidian, I think leader's name is David Koresh... I have been in Waco, Texas for college!! Hehehe... I couldnt find wrecked house. Could be disappeared. They are wiped everything away. Voila!

[Floyd Negrete]

I called it ugly before the big air pics came on line got to addmit just
sittin there beat to hell is no glamour shot.:p :rolleyes: :D
............................. ugly :p

[qua77ro]

Well for you all out there, the TRUCK HAS BEEN RUN! :D :D Sadly I didn't get to read this post about the weight of the truck before it was delivered to it's owner. We are building another very similiar but not the same truck at the store and I'll try to get that to weigh before it's picked up. The Thunder Tiger motor pulled and pulled and pulled as it should. As far as the bickering/arguing, it's all in good fun. Although I have to say one thing, I didn't start this post to start a fight. My first two posts say nothing but exactly what was done to the truck. I never once said it's better than an MP until someone else commented on the MP better than the maxx. I think as in the whole ford/chevy rivalry it's just that. A rivalry. Both sides have great products, and people will always take one side or the other, or sometimes sit neutrally in between. In any case, the trucks we build are run, and run hard. One of our customers brought back a truck with the rear a-arms sand blasted to a frosted look. Was definately something to see. Anyways, hope you're all enjoying your day, back to work for me. =oP Latez

[oodlesonoodles2001]

Heres my maxx. it is 3 weeks old, but it has only been driven two of them. I have to agree with DP here, a truck is for beatin the crap out of it. I have lost 2 body clips, made no fewr thatn 6 cracks in the body, and i hope to beat it more, i made a skid, that was basically some old aluminum, and bolted it on, it was actually pretty sick.. skidplate, and used ot for a couple of days, and was extremely useful, i have stripped 2 driveshafts out of the yolks, and that is nuthin compared to some of you guys. I only use it for rock crawling right now.
By the way, i have nuthin against guys who want to blow 3 grand on a car, but id put it into, a racin truck, or a touring car, all the hop-ups i want to get is skids, bumpers, some chassis braces, and a diff spool.k the link didnt work go here, and type y a h o o without the spaces where i put them.

Mason,
You know I didn't catch that, but now that you mention it, yeah that is kind of odd. Maxx Mashers or Bow ties would look real cool on this totally tricked out T-Maxx.

rcski,
In the owners defense he/she probably hasn't had a chance to even break in the motor yet when the pic was taken. But yes, I do have a ton o fun with my beat up, dirty, and well used T-Maxx.

lol.. all this talk about an RC car the somebody put WAyyyy to much money into just to make is slow but pretty. I got an E-maxx and T-maxx and they are by far the best RC's I've ever owned because unlike other RC's they can to it all pretty good.. on road, off road, climgbing, jumping, bashing, its the best all around RC I've ever had.

HERE (http://members.home.net/sixvi6-camaro/maxx_27.jpg) is a pic of my maxx naked just after a fresh teardown.. Its now got a CVEC header on it instead of the Ruslter coupler. but none of that matters because its going .21 within the next week.. :)
and a pic of my T-maxx and E-maxx..

Even if tamiya did make a TXT nitro (which I doubt because Tamiya just does not seem to like Nitro too much) .. I'll still keep my t-maxx. The E-maxx though.. it might be replaced by a TXT soon.. (but the TXT will be running on an e-maxx tranny and electronics :) )

:D I am going to go buy a TXT-1 and put a nitro engine in it somehow. Sounds like fun. :p
