I just feel like I'm going through an r/c "depression" cuz everything just SUX. Mr. MAXX

Don't take this the wrong way but it sounds like you just need to take a break. Clean your truck, straighten out your work space and relax. This is a very expensive hobby without a doubt. The T-Maxx can be a pain when it comes to replacing parts, I know, I have one too. It is times like what you are going through that I just pause. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

When you get it together again, the first run will make it all worthwhile. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Definitely sounds like you need a break. I don't know how long you've been in the hobby but the cars are better than ever. More affordable, longer lasting and much stronger than ever. They go much faster now so it just seems like they break easily. I spent all winter building a street car that would haul. It hauled *** alright but on the SECOND run I hit the lip of my neighbors driveway and totaled the front end. I was so disgusted I didn't touch any of my cars for about three weeks but now that the weathers nice again I'm ready to go.
This is a great hobby but it can drive you nuts sometimes so kick back and read your back issues of RCCA for a couple days or weeks and you'll be ready to go http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

I got really ticked at my nitro rustler, and really I still am. I can't get it to run for anything. I'm not sure what all to do with it so I have placed it on a shelf for a while and will come back to it later. My gf just bought me my TC3 and I"m having a blast with it in the downtime.
