i have a t-maxx as well. its only a good truck because i have spent alot of money on upgrades. in stock form the t-maxx is terrible.
for example cheap plastic shocks....worst design ever! the shock caps pop after one small crash. so you pay $480 for a RTR truck and you have to spend another +$80 on shocks straight away. The t-maxx is not a quality truck out of the box.
