I used to make billet aluminum rims for the T-Maxx in 2000 and 2001. My distributer thought it was a better idea to take my designs and have them made in Tawian. Now everybody is doing it and I'm out of the market because I can't compete with some of the high end mills and cheap labor.

I sold $30,000 worth of rims my first year, and then sold about $35,000 worth in the 2 months after christmas when my rims were on the editors of RC Car Action T-Maxx trucks, and on a center fold story. The thing that pisses me off, is I was getting $80 per set of 4 from my distributor, and people in the hobby shops were paying $225 per set of 4. If I could have just sold them myself that would have been nearly $200,000 :(

Oh well. Just thought I'd share a story from the good old days. :rolleyes:

I ll have that new honda pretty soon,as soon as it is released....Does any have an rc10t3? got pix? i just bought a team orion 15x2 havok motor with a novak rooster esc, I sold the novak personally i think that it's crap. This babie goes just as fast as my maxx used to! I am buying a new tranny cuz i blew the old one up doing donuts <_< it's kinda annoying rebuilding the tranny so i am buing a new one, also i am going all carbon,graphite, and alluminum and i need a new front rim and tire..

for you who click (wtf is a t-maxx!!)here there so cool :D    right above where it say in big wordz T-MAXX there is three tabz(over view, details, featuers) check em out there cool oh and there is a vid of one doing a backflip but thoser are soo easy just hold the throttle pinned off of a jump!! if u wanna do a front flip just slamm the brake in mid air or pop it in revers and pinn the throttle down

 

 

ppl think there soo hard but there one of the first things i learned a few years back when i bought mine :rolleyes:  now i go down to the rc track and race in the t-Maxx/E-maxx division the e- maxx is electrick but dont let that catch you they are just as fast as the t-maxx some beat mine at the track every once and a while and if u can beat mine ur faaaastt!!

 

they have two speed trannyz too!! and they hit about 40 mph stock (t-maxx)the e-maxx hits like 35-40 mph....also if u like to hit dunes set it up for dunes if u like street set it up fo dat if u like extreme off road or trails set it up fo dat or if u like mx set it up fo dat and if u wanna just have fun leave it alone it's kinda like a shee!!

 

u can lower them an every thing u can change the whole entire thing(change every part!!)

 

next time u go to a hoby shop ask the ppl there about a T-maxx :D

Still have my old Losi JRXT I bought new back in 89. It can keep up with all the newer electric trucks at the track. I sold my RC10GT several months ago with the intention of buying a T-Maxx. Still looking for ways to fit it into the budget. However, over the last several weeks, I've been thinking about buying a road car instead. In particular, the Traxxas Tech-4 (60+ MPH stock) or the Schumacher Fusion (70+ MPH stock, 80+ MPH with a different spur gear).

I've got a nitro rustler. IMO if you want 4 wheel drive or reverse, get the tmaxx. If not, get the rustler. Although I will say that there are more parts for the maxx but the rustler is faster out of the box. Plus it jumps WAY better. My buddy's got the 2.5 tmaxx and i've got the 2.5 rustler. He's got a bunch of hop ups and mine just has a stinger exhaust and different tires. I kill him on every type of terrain except for climbing steep loose hills where I can't get any speed before hitting the hill (my tires just dig). Whenever I drive his it feels like a total boat. That thing is friggin heavy and clumsy. I've taken mine to the dunes and I easily catch more air with that thing then I do on my shee. I think the rustler goes for $260 or something so its cheaper than the maxx too.

Seems as though RC is a common thing amoungst a lot of us. Myself included as I have quite a few RC vehicles. Planes, cars and a boat.

 

Car wise, mine are pretty old except for the Kyosho Mini-Z and Radioshack zip-zap.

Just don't have the time and places to run them. Finding a field large enough for my planes is also a problem as well.
