Did you paint that yourself? If so, how?

Cheers

[xjpaukert]

yep, prepped it and sprayed some adhesion promotor on it then shot it with high temp dupli-color ford red. it's probably not going to hold up well to 30% nitro spilling on it but i can always repaint later. my plans after christmas are fix all the damage, new bumpers, double beadlock wheels and a new body. and i am not a fan of chrome so it's pretty much going to be black and red.

Very nice! The red looks sweet. Looks like the house won this round. :thumbs:

Nice tmaxx mate :) Love the red head :D

[pjabas]

a maxx update, he got it running today, but no pics, i had to laugh, he said it was a wheelie monster, i think i feel a vid coming on,
anyway xj my revo is ready lets run,
i want to see you do a back flip, with your own truck, lol, just messing glad to see you got it up a running, glad i could help, :rock:

[xjpaukert]

yep, truck is running and it is insane. pjabas got a lot off of ebay and it turns out it was a wide t-maxx parts so i upgraded all the arms and rear shafts so i sit an inch wider now. spend 200.00 on parts to get it where it is now. still need to upgrade front axleshafts and driveshaft to the hd style, but i'm going to run them till they break. i'll get some pics up as soon as i go get my camera from my in-laws house. :rock:

[RC_KAOS]

Sweet, do you still have the 2.5 in?

Cheers

Gotta get rid of that stock Pipe and header. The pipes inside baffles tend to melt and clog the stinger. The header is a tad too short imho. I did the Blue tuned pipe and MIP header Same air filter. Does wonders for the 3.3

Mike

BTW love the red/black, hope the paint hold up.

[pjabas]

that looks good xj, maybe you should find some pink rims, to go with your lovely body
lol

[xjpaukert]

more upgrades or downgrades, which ever you prefer. got some rpm skids, futabu fail safe, rebuilt the diffs and a brand spanking new body. now i know it doesn't match the red theme but the nitroaddicts sticker makes it all better. :rock:

once you lower the body down allittle, and cut some holes in , it will look great man, "untill you hit a house again"

[RC_KAOS]

I've heard bad things about those motor saver airfilters.

[pjabas]

sweet, :rock: now get rid of that crappy plastic pipe :shoot:

[xjpaukert]

well, motor is broke in and it hauls. should give the grevo a run for its money. actually, it should spank it since pjabas spends more time working on it. :winner:

[pjabas]

hmmm only one way to find out :D
it all depends on it i can keep the front end down :blbl:

[xjpaukert]

i was going to add that, but i figured you would chime in. then again, i can't keep mine down either.

[pjabas]

then again, i can't keep mine down either.

thats why you have kid number two on the way :thumbs:

[xjpaukert]

nice, speaking of that. he/she should have been here tuesday.


i think i need to buy a wheelie bar, it doesn't matter how lean or rich i run er. still wants to do cartwheels. and i also broke it tonight, rear bulkhead snapped when i bounced off the curb. good thing i stocked up :thumbs:
