It shows the shopping cart is empty. :032:

Dude, the link doesnt work. It links to my shopping cart. Try listing the part numbers.

I can tell you you need the 3.3 arms, sliders and knuckles. Just get them on ebay. It will be way cheaper.

[jhautz]

This post tells you the parts you need. I did this right when the 3.3 came out. Dont know if I was the first, but one of the first.

Thanks for that link. Now, why is the tower link working for me and nobody else?? Anyway, I had the revo carriers , not the maxx carriers so I guess that was wrong.

The shopping cart is based on a cookie. Your computer has that cookie and nobody else does.

Revo and Maxx 3.3 carriers are the same. What you have is fine.

What? Now Im really confused. The rpm carriers for the maxx and revo seem to be different.

Im not necessarily buying from tower just trying to get a "snapshot" on what everything looks like. Tower price would be $180 not counting any discounts. What should/would be a good deal for this outfit?

[jhautz]

The stock revo and tmax 3.3 knuckles are the same. I think you are looking at the older maxx style knuckles. If you want to use the 3.3 sliders you need the ones with the large bearings. The revo ones you listed will work.

Not sure on the Ebay price. But it will certainly be much cheaper.

[turbo4]

The ones I linked to were rpm carriers not the stock ones.

Of all the parts you listed are the stock parts good enough or do I need to look for aftermarket parts for the 3.3 parts.(not counting the sliders) I searched on ebay and I found all the parts you listed (stock traxxas). Looks way cheaper like you said. thanks for your help.

[jhautz]

I went with everything stock except the arms. They are the RPM 3.3 arms. Seems plenty though to me. I havent broken one yet.

[turbo4]

Sounds good. One more question. A lot of the parts on ebay for the 3.3 stuff also say 2.5R. Are some of these parts the same for the revo, maxx 3.3 and the maxx 2.5R? Or do I need to only look for 3.3 parts?

[jhautz]

2.5R is the new version of the 2.5 Its basically a 3.3 with only the 2.5 motor. All the stuff you are looking for is the same. 3.3 - 2.5R... its all the same.

[turbo4]

Cool. I just picked up the carriers w/bearings, shafts & turnbuckles w/the ends...off ebay. Just need to get the arms and I should be set.

Thanks for the help.
