Matt Donalds Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I've owned a Revo and a T-Maxx, and I much prefered my Revo. Easier to work on, stronger and better handling. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sim77 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Very good car apart from the small teething problem I'm having with the gear change. Just a tuning issue and lack of knowledge on my part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louder Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Well I have had 2 T-Maxx's now and and am just converting one to an E-Maxx. I love them. But there are a few issues. The bulkheads WILL need upgrading to alum ones if you really wanna bash it hard, you can pick alum bits up dirt cheap on the bay. You will want to upgrade the shock caps to alum ones as well but they again are cheap and you may wanna stick new servos in it. They are ok just not great, really the steering one is the only issue as its just not quite strong enough. There is a lot of strain on the join between the bulkhead and the chassis plate. This is helped with the chassis rails underneath but it is a weak point if you land on your nose in particular There are TONS of parts. From cheap flashy bits to expensive supermaxx parts that are indestructible and make the Maxx unbeatable by anything after a few grand invested. Lots of RPM bits for them. I rate them pretty highly. For me they are what a monster truck should be. It can tackle anything. Its easier to work on then the Savage and there is a massive community built up around them. They can be a bit of a pig in the air if your not careful just like in the corners, throttle control and everything is fine. I think for me they are the best MT out there but I've not owned a revo, driven but not owned. I had a savage but when it broke it was horrible to work on and I hated the engine. Get one and get happy. Edited January 4, 2011 by louder 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
