Got this last week! Ive always wanted to get one and after having a few Electric powered Cars and Gas buggys Its time for a monster truck!! This thing is freakin HUGE!

Its a Traxxas E Maxx 3.3 4WD - 3.3 motor, electric start Nitrometho truck. All ive done is put in a 58 tooth spur gear so it can crack 100 km/h. 2 speed Optidrive Auto gearbox (computer controlled gearbox with reverse) and fail safe.

Pops Monos on demand and cracks the front wheels up when it hits 2nd gear! Endo are possible with a light touch of brakes!

Who else got Nitro offroaders - if your keen for a bust let me know - I cant wait to go to Knox BMX park!

EEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

3.3 cc???

man thats a big power upgrade on the ke.... and or ceffy!!!!

benrys - in all seriousness - it is Faster than your Swift

you know im already searching for a new RC looking at DF03 and MAMBA FTW

What a bertha!

That's cute!

haha yeah man my boss imports Traxxas and has all the parts n shit! How good is the easy start thing!
so rediculously fast guys!

check the location of the item


OMG I SWEAR, BACK IN PERTH... I'M SO EMO RIGHT NOW.........................

fail benrys

Rusty - can ur boss get me cheaper parts if I need it?

Things stupid the whole truck gets airborne all 4 wheels off the ground under full throttle the only thing that keeps it down is the wheelie bars.

looks massive.


i was driving my mates RC nitrocar....


and another friend ran over it with her mx5..

failed

come to adeliade and we'll go for a 'bust' hahaha

Theres an Rc track on dorset road...give it a go there, i suppose bmx tracks are free ahaha

thats mad

I had a tamiya tg10 1/10th shaft driven nitro, hadnt played with it in yrs when i finally went to start it up after not using for 3 yrs pull started broke then when i went to get a new one the fellas at the hobby shop said no compression so decided to forget about it.

Cartwheels down my factorys street?

Mehh the Dance school bitches loved it!

Note to self dont chase down slow cars.

the dorrset road race track is run by wankers but also it electric only no petrol

haha my RC car i use to chase down anycar down my street and over take them with fun

you sly dog you.

yeah but isn't that more or a drift track??
same as the lilydale one?

theres a tight asphelt track in lilydale, only good for racing cars with a LOW centre of gravity.
Yeah take it down to knox and you can race me on my bike man! Hell! I didnt get first in the state so I could be beaten by a toy car!
haha my parents are pissed off cos I guy I use to beat bmx racing just went to the olympics for australia.... my excuse for quitting was "im going shopping with my girlfriend" haha Meh what am I even talking about... its past my bed time.

yeh i want one of these farking expensive though.

out of all the R/c stuff you have had Jimmo which was the most fun?

R/C road cars (nitro/electric) = boring.

RC 4WD Nitro buggys/Truggys = Probably the best fun - handle like a car, fast, big jumps and they look tough.

RC Monster trucks = Good for bashing, jumping, crawling - however if your new to it I dont recommend because they roll almost too easily, they dont really handle well - there just good for stupid speed and jumps etc - good fun.

Next thing I get will be a Electric Rockcrawler - Probably an Axial AX10.

needs better offset!

crawlers are alright fun but get boring

RC HELI for the WIN i been looking at getting

then work my way up to a 8 chan one

how much do these cars go for roughly? price wise

from a shop - close to $700 for the truck itself.

Glow fuel is about 30 bucks for 2.5 liters.

Spare glow plugs, spur gears - 30

7.2 NiMH battery pack for the starter/8 AA batterys- 35

And your ready to go. Its complicated, unless you have had GP R/C cars before I wouldnt reccomend getting one because you will get frustrated with it.

more like youll get sick of spending money on the f**king thing.

awesome, ive always wanted a truck (i have a nitro drift car, 2nd gear drift FTW) but yeah trucks can go anywhere!

I really want to buy a Revo 3.3, T-Maxx would have been my second pick!


have you guys seen this clip (dont try this at home):

Yeah they are sick for jumps!!

I got a Full Anodised Roll Cage for it today - improves rigidity and protects the thing from rolling when doing mass jumps Also got a Anodised and heatsinked Engine mount for it!

Looks Porn!!

tuff lil things a guy at work has one of these

constantly making little parts for it at work lol
i need to get something that i can fab little things up for.. maybe one of these i still got my drift one ive never used lol and the petrol one i had ages ago that broke everytime i took it out lol

hows the rc truck going? Have you ran it in yet???? Pain in the ass running them in! Post up a video when you hit the BMX track

Yeah ran it in fine, one of the best Gas engines ive ever run in - it runs sweet starts first time and goes like a rocket. Its only a pain in the ass running it in if you dont know what you are doing.

I have an Onboard Cam Video I showed a couple of the boys yesterday - its tuff when u punch it and all you can see is the sky from it doing a wheelie!! Goes like a devil!

Traxxas T maxxs/Emaxxs are used by the United States Troops in Post invasion Iraq as Bomb Scouts LOL!!!

^^^damn this thread is making me want to buy a Revo, so much fun to be had!

I just brought a new engine for my Drift beast! Went for the OS MAX 18CVR-X, prob double the power of my T15.....cant wait to get 2nd gear drifts at 60km/h going again!

Rollcage, Titanium tie rods and Heatsunk Billet Engine mount FTW!!





Heres an Onboard vid of me mucking around it - just in case ur confused, whenever you can see the sky, its getting the front wheels off the ground lol

16V Battery vvvvrmmm vvrmmm vvrrmmm

Looks awesome, how much did the cage set you back?

Ill see if i can get some footage up of my thing, need to get the motor and run it in yet!

Its an RCraven anodised cage from the States - set me back $70 bucks.

Not too bad, i remember my friend a few years back brought a cage for his revo...$180...GEEZ!

Does it weigh much? I so need to buy a Nitro Truck....one day!

There used to be a rc dirt track at carrington park in Knoxfield off o'connor rd not sure if it is still there
