If your not good at keeping control of your truck in the air and landing properly, then yes.
I've flipped mine lots of times buy 8 times out of 10 it always lands back on its feet and keeps on going..

the t and e maxx( e-maxx especially) have a serious tipping problem, so a good idea might be a good idea to get some offset wheels, i've got mp tires on mine, and full on turns and it doesn't even lift a tire.

Yes they do but 1 good mod is to pick up a set of RC Ravens dual rate springs and use one dual rate and one stock spring per corner.. its a nice setup and helps a lot and its a lot cheaper than getting wide offset wheels.

I smell what your cookin six. I have losi black springs on the outside four corners and lighter oil on the inside shocks. I have to try to flip it and it cost me less than 20 bucks.
A few of us decided to go bashing a few weeks back and I wanted to bring my T Maxx. I was concerned with it flipping since we were on an asphalt parking lot so I threaded four long wire ties from the suspension to the shock tower to lower the truck. One on each corner. Then, when you are ready to go offroading, just cut them off.
