I have a problem and i dont know what to do, Everytime i go out and do some back yard bashing whithin 1 tank of gas i will always break something like A-arms, Bulkheads,battery box(i have no clue how), sometimes from a small crash (only had 1 serious crash), jumping , and mostley just driving around on hills, it drives me crazy, i got a full rpm setup, and a full stainless steel rollcage for it and it still does it, i was gonna think about integy alluminum for it but every one says alluminum is bad. I need help to get it stronger or im gonna go bankrupt replacing the parts if i keep presuing this hobby. I don't really care if it ways a ton i dont race i drive around in my back yard.
Oh And When im driving when i turn just a little bet no matter what it goes right on the roof, ive stiffend the shocks and made them less stiff? im clueless Please help
PLEASE REPLY WITH A ANSWER!!!!

Not to sure how to help, but you should post this in the Nitro section (It's not just motors it's for all nitro related topics).

Look at www.acncm.com there stuff is very strong. If you want to see how strong it is check out www.trilordy.com and you can see it being abused.

I just think it's your driving skills. ALL monster trucks are going to be tipsy at higher speeds, not just the maxx. There isn't much you can do to fix that except for lowering it's stance.

If you're running all RPM stuff and still breaking it, then what's the big deal? RPM replaced their busted parts :D

Just learn how to jump, turn, and control the truck. Once you can master this, parts should not be a problem...

if you are breaking RPM parts, you are doing something SERIOUSLY wrong, it is a monster truck, they are top heavy, slow, powerful, so if you are tearing up rpm plastic, you need to adjust your driving style greatly, you are NOT supposed to go full wood driving everywhere, if you do, destroying rpm plastic is going to be the least of your problems in a real hurry. lay off the gas man, only nail it going up the face of a jump and let off right before the truck takes flight so you dont endo going over the rest of the jump, SLOW DOWN before you turn, that isnt a revo, it will not take turns at high speed, and last but not least, look where you're driving-look a little bit ahead of the car, I know its tricky but you can do it, just to avoid things like cars, rocks, curbs, low flying aircraft, children, and monkeys, if after all this you still are destroying rpm parts, consider taking up bowling!!! :p

What would be a good way to strengthen a TMaxx?

Hmmm.............................................. .....sell it.

Seriously, maybe improve your driving skills or just don't do what your doing to break parts.



Sorry, it's 3 am, I can't sleep, and I'm leaving for a trophy race in 3 hours. :mad:
