I have a T-maxx, currently it is stock, but my b-day is coming up on March 17th, and I was wondering if any of you know what to get first for it, I know I want to get a pipe, but not sure which is good or not, anyone who knows t-maxxes please help me make a list of stuff, thanks.

Well... I'm sure if you can give an aproximate price that you would want to stay around Rob can give you a very good start. He has a maxx on par with god. (Just don't ask him to shim your diffs LoL)

that is the thing, I have no clue price range, I was just wanting some suggestions of good pipes, and was going to just put them on a list for them to choose from, along with some other parts, not trying to change out the engine, it is fine for not, but I was thinking of getting some of the rpm a-arms, I heard from Al's that those are good.

RPM arms and towers
THS or Traxxas Blue Pipe
Aluminum bulkheads
alum chassis braces
JR650 steering servo
RPM head guard
That should help.

cool thanks, I will look for those now, and put them with the price on my list, I am thinking of doing the pipe first, do you think that is a good idea, or should I get one of the other first? sorry I just got into the hobbie and don't know what should be upgraded first.

Pipe, arms, and bulkhead first. Pipe will give you a power gain while the other two are parts that generally break A LOT on maxxes...

I was wanting to replace the arms first I know how those things break. Second time driving it after break-in, I broke one, and broke the upper part of the shock(the part that the screw goes through)and broke the draglink.

Almost anything but Integy. Stay away from them. They have soft aluminum and a BAD track record on this and other forums.

Meh... you don't need a front skid. LoL I'm j/k. I think getting that in aluminum might not be bad either. Someone who owns a maxx will chime in on this too...
