For get the TMaxx
http://www.hpiracing.com/kits/savage.htm

Its coming out soon.... www.hpiracing.com

Kyle 08-25-2002 05:07 PM

hey CA, that savage looks pretty sweet, but 500 is probably too much for me, lol
I'll probably go with the t-maxx that 94accord showed me.
So i have to buy the
Fuel (20%)
Application of the decals
Fuel Bottle to fill tank
6 Cell Battery for Easy Starter
Charger for 6 cell battery
CA glue to attach tires to the rim
Are all these things seperate? or what?
And where can i find those things if they are seperate?

Yes and no. Get a really cheap charger (like the one on that page) and a cheap 6 cell (since all you'll be doing is running the ez-start system.

I like pro-line CA glue, medium is probably good to start with.

I think I have a Duratrax fuel bottle.

Make sure to get 20% Traxxas top fuel IMO, not the 10% that was listed on that page.

Now IMO, the T-maxx is the best for the money, and the new engine should do about 40mph. That should keep you busy for awhile ;)

Kyle 08-25-2002 08:22 PM

ok..so replace the 10% fuel with 20%, buy a few bottle( it doesn't come with one?)
And buy some glue to glue the wheels on right?

Kyle 08-25-2002 08:34 PM

And can i change out the body of it?...i wouldn't mind getting some interchangeable bodies if it was possible...gotta get new rims too;)

94_AcCoRd_EX 08-25-2002 08:38 PM

The fuel bottle you'd buy (for example: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...1&I=LXD531&P=7 ) holds the fuel in smaller quantities and has a pour spout so you can put the fuel in the truck's tank.

Proline tire glue: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...1&I=LXRD59&P=7
Note: There are cheaper glues, but I've had great luck with this one.

Remember, if you do get the NEW T-maxx, it is due to come out soon, so its a first come, first serve basis. If you want something immediately, get the old one. I'd recommend waiting though.

I have to go now, but if you have more questions (which you should), ask away. I can help you find more products if you need also.

Kyle 08-25-2002 08:46 PM

Alright, thanks
I am definetely gonna get the new one
Thanks for all the info...
And do you have any idea when it's coming out?

94_AcCoRd_EX 08-25-2002 09:47 PM

I thought I read that it would come out at the very beginning of September, but I can't find where I read it. Should be fairly soon anyway, and a big backorder list will probably build up as it gets closer to release.

i'd also recommend a good glue, nothing sucks more than pulling a tire off a rim(from cornering too hard). its a pain, and can f*** up the suspension

Kyle 08-25-2002 09:59 PM

alright...i should probably order it asap then eh?

Yup, if you'd like to get in line for the Maxx. I wish there was a sure way to tell when its coming out, but I just don't know. Might want to read around www.traxxas.com or something.

Post the final list of stuff you're going to order so we can make sure you didn't miss anything ;)
