I've had a couple of RC cars in the past..

Started out with a Traxxas Stampede, then got an Emaxx, then traded that for a Nitro Rustler, then traded that for an Electric Rustler, I still have that. Sometime in between then I got a Traxxas 4-tec, still have pieces of that.

Now I have the Rustler, the 4-tec, and I just bought a HPI Nitro RS4.

If anybody wants to buy it send me a PM, I will tell you what it has, it's an extremely good deal.

Its got an OS MAX RX .21 engine in it that is newer and with both diffs hooked up, I would guess somewhere between 45-55 MPH. Thats when you can get traction. It will run out of range before you realize it. Its nuts!

mike,check out www.traxxas.com/forums .it is one of the best sites i have found.you might want to look into getting the new traxxas revo if you plan to purchase one in the near future.to date,it is the newest and most technology advanced truck to date that i am aware of.you can learn more at www.traxxas.com .
i have a Fantom FR.18 powered t-maxx 2.5 with lots of goodies.when anyone gets to the point where it's time to rebuild your 2.5, or is looking for a motor with more power and is easier to tune,you should look into getting the FR.18.it usually goes for $150 at most hobby shops.it is a direct drop in for the 2.5 motor so you need to modify nothing, not even your EZ start.here is a few pics of mine.

I had a savage 21 with a picco outlaw .26 engine RB pipe, Integy piggy back shocks,roll cage about 1.5g's of upgrades. I used to race it but it broke all the time. I was always stripping a wheel hub or snapping a CV drive shaft. I finally got tired of having to go to the hobby shop everytime I wanted to run it. I bought a XTM x-terminator 1/8th scale buggy with a 24.7 engine and never had a problem out of it. The savage would right at 50. Ill try to post some pics on here. Oh well cant figure it out. Can i send someone my pics and they put it on here?

crday98

no offense, but you guys need to shop around.my lhs is selling them for $458.99. most online places selling them for the same price give or take $10.
my450r,i am interested in the x-factor or the savage depending on the price.pm me what you are asking for each of them.

yes,they are a pita to tune properly.the 2.5 is very weather sensative,that's why i went with the FR.18.it holds a better tune from cool to warm to hot days and has more power.with my 2.5,i constantly had to mess with if the weather changed from the last time i ran it. to help get yours straightend out,check out www.traxxas.com and visit the t-maxx forums.there is also guides online that help you in certain areas of getting your maxx to run properly.do a search in the forums on what problem you are having and you should be good from there.;)

I have a T-Maxx 2.5. It ran fine during break-in, and then I started having problems. I live in Phoenix, so I figured heat had a lot to do with it. I ended up buying a bigger cooling head, a MotorSaver filter/intake, the new O.S. long-reach plug, and I diassembled, cleaned, and lubed the carb. It tuned right up and I've had no problems since. I think the big thing is that they kept a .15 instead of going to a bigger bore. The T-Maxx needs at least an .18 to pull it around without overheating. That 2.5 crap should be false advertising; they know everyone thinks it's a .25.:grr:

my friend has a schumacher menace its the 4x4 with a 3 speed tranny i think. he says it does like 70 mph. he just put 400 dollars worth of aluminum into it so now its like all aluminim chassis and everything. if i can get a pic from him ill post it.

MY450R
08-13-2004, 08:59 AM
yeah i dont think its called a menace but i know what your talking about
it has a thunder tiger .21 in it its 2.1hp
1/8 buggies only have 1 gear so i cant even imagine how fast my eb4 would go if i had even a 2 spd tranny

440ex2001
08-13-2004, 09:41 AM
