really, really basic Traxxas question

[biggerhammer]

Be gentle, I'm really new, and my question is probably really n00bish.

I just bought a Traxxas 4wd RC truck, used. It has no body, wheels/tires or labels. How can I identify what model it is? It has a 2.5 motor, a transmission, three servos, two shocks on each corner (with red springs).

I've included an overall pic below. If there is a specific place that I should look/take a pic, please let me know.

Thank you.

What you have there is a T-Maxx.

[biggerhammer]

Thank you, Parker.

Freelife, I joined back then with really basic questions about a Tamiya S-10 :) Now I have questions about my new toy as well.

[freelife04239]

ok i see well you should keep up on the site it will help you learn alot and the tmaxx is a good truck but rolles alot so have a blast with it

[buddy77]

sell it and get a savage x

[freelife04239]

if your going to sell it and get any thing get a real truck like the revo it can be used for racing one day if you go that way

I just joined not to long ago but Im a T MAXX fan.I have 3 of them and I wouldnt part with them.Keep what you got.There is so many parts to upgrade.http://www.rcjunkyard.com/forums/images/icons/icon6.gif

[freelife04239]

ill race that tmaxx with my revo and walk all over it lol ill take all 3 tmax on and they will all brake befor the revo lol no tmaxx is ok im just having fun

[navyeoseabee]

sell it and get a savage x

i just got my 5th savage...lol.... the tmaxx was a orginal nitro monster truck racer... and you have a 2.5 tmaxx...which is the second generation of the tmaxx...bigger engine than the .15 and the wider arms. if you want a great basher truck get alum bulk heads(they break all the time) and rpm arms they are garenteed for life! then you have a good maxx.

[mikey0089]

I dont race I have fun with my truck.And you race a trugy and have fun.But we at least agree on something ahttp://www.rcjunkyard.com/forums/images/icons/icon6.gift least he got a traxxas.http://www.rcjunkyard.com/forums/images/icons/icon6.gif
