If you are intent on keeping your t-maxx, buy spools to replace your front and rear differentials, gear the engine as low as you can, get some decent tires, and run it richer than normal to keep the engine cool.

well tmaxxs just arent the greatest vehicle for crawling. that goes for all nitros. yeah sure you can build a pretty sick crawler, which people have done. but it just takes so much more work plus if you dont have the right setup youll be burning clutches like h3ll.
