I didn't have just RPM arms, I had a UE Knucklehead towers, UE monoblock, FLM combo bulks, T-Maxx chassis, GH aluminum center braces, HCR titanium skids, Lunsford titanium hinge pins, all 3.3 spec shafts and knuckles, rear RPM true-track, front Traxxas Tubes turnbuckles, FLM aluminum diff cups, GH aluminum steering setup, and the center diff setup that is now in my MGT used to be in my Maxx. It was upgraded enough to a point where it probably shouldn't have broken very often, but it did, so I ditched it. Maybe I am just a sucky driver or abuse my trucks too much, but so far the Monster GT has been alot stronger.

When it broke the front lower RPM arms at the hinge pin hole, it also bent the front lower Lunsford titanium hinge pins. IMO because of poor design, there is no middle hole for the arms like on the Monster GT, meaning less arm support, which results in bent hinge pins, and broken/bent shocks from the arms twisting around. I really liked my Maxx, enjoyed it alot for over 2 years, and enjoyed upgrading it and such, but having to fix it after every run got kind of old. The Maxx may be alot better with like every UE part on it, but that's because they alter the design and improve on the Maxx. Parts that utilize stock designs still seem just as bad as stock parts sometimes. Just my opinion though. The MGT works better for me, your Maxx works better for you, so lets leave it at that.
