upgrading some parts on my T-Maxx...


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Well, after listening to, and taking the advice of a few people, I have started to tear up my Tmaxx. I will be replacing all of the aluminum A-arms, aluminum shock towers, and I also need to replace the engine mount. I will probably also pick up two rear RPM axle carriers...I already have RPM carriers on the front.

cracked engine mount...what do you guys recommend?


What do you guys recommend for my arms...I used to have alluminum...


As you can see from my rear shock tower...I need new ones! Completely bent! I will be replacing front and rear...no point in keeping the front one, cause it will probably bend like the rear one.

well all my parts came in yesterday....black RPM arms all around, black RPM shock towers front and back, and my new blue aluminum Traxxas engine mount. Been working on it, all happy, until I found out that the pins from my old aluminum arms aren't long enough for the RPM arms, $##@##$$%!!!!!!! Then I remembered the stock pins that came with the stock arms....no luck there iether!!! They have thread by the head, and it won't screw into my aluminum bulks!!! What do you guys recommend?

As you can see, the top pins actually fit fine because the threaded part screwed into the arm first, but the bottom ones won't, because the bulkhead is before the arm.


These are the stock ones that came with the truck
