t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - mikecooper - 02-23-2006
I was out driving today, and I hit the brakes, but they didn't work, and it started to slow finally, but then it hit a tree, and this happened:

is there anyone that knows maxxes very well, that can maybe meet me and help me figure out all that I need to buy?

Mike, Mike, Mike, never stop steering!
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - mikecooper - 02-23-2006
what do you mean never stop steering??? there was nothing to do with steering.
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 02-23-2006
You said the brakes didn't work...I was guessing the steering still did?
I guess getting you the failsafe is no big hurry now....we'll do it another day.
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - mikecooper - 02-23-2006
the receiver batteries I think were to dead, because I tried steering, and it kept going straight.

t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - Obsessive R/C - 02-23-2006
Yep...both bulkheads and the front skid. Did you take apart the steering assembly or did the screw break? (left side of the 3rd pic)
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - mikecooper - 02-23-2006
I didn't take anything apart, so I think the screw is missing, it looks like a lot more damage than it really is, I was expecting tons of money put into this, by the looks of it. Can someone maybe meet me somewhere, or come to my house, and help me with replacing the stuff, because I don't have the slightest idea, like Saturday or Sunday, or even tomorrow. I will go to Al's and buy two bulkheads and front skid, so i have them ready.
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - BottledBeast - 02-23-2006
well i have done that many times u need front bulks and a front skid..that should do the trick..
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - BottledBeast - 02-23-2006
i would go help u tomarrow but i start a new job tomarrow the only day i have free is sunday if u still need the help
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - Michowski - 02-23-2006
2 front bulkheads, skid plate
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - mikecooper - 02-23-2006
cool bottled, if I don't do it before sunday, I may ask for your help.
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - BottledBeast - 02-23-2006
thats fine just get my number off of dan if u want me to fix it for u
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-23-2006
if you still want to meet us for a bash i can help you there. I'm not sure if Im going to have the revo going got a few problems, but i can throw a motor in the maxx and bash that.
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - mikecooper - 02-23-2006
I might not be able to go to the bash, since I found out my cousin and his new wife are coming over but I am trying to get out of having to be here, if I can i will be at the bash whether it is broke or not. I am buying the parts tomorrow from al's
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-23-2006
ok cool, i might just have a few people over at my house but IDK, it shouldnt take you too long to fix it, if you just pay attention to what you are doing you can do it yourself i know that you are probally a little afraid that you might mess something up but working on these things isnt as hard as it seems, just try it and if you do mess something up someone will help you. Just remember you have to take both upper and lower arms off to get the bulkheads off. Mine did that a few months ago but only on the rear.

t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - mikecooper - 02-23-2006
I am know it isn't hard to fix these things, I had to replace spur gear yesterday, I have had to replace the draglink too, and lower a-arm too, I just want someone there to help on this one, just in case anything goes wrong, so if not Sunday with you Junkee, probably Sunday with Bottled. But as I said I will have the 2 bulkheads and the front skid purchased and waiting.
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-23-2006
if you have the money go with the RPM arms like i have, I havent broke one yet and i have had the truck for at least 6 months They are about 11 dollars a pair, but well worth it, on my dads stock truck he breaks arms all the time.
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - mikecooper - 02-23-2006
they are only 11 a pair??? damn I didn't know that, I will have to get them then, that is if I have enough, I have been wanting to get them, but I thought they were more expensive. I have around $60 to spend, so if I have enough they will be purchased to go on it too. how much are bulkheads around??
t-maxx = most it has ever been broke - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-23-2006
i think stock bulks are around 8 and then skids are about 4
