i dont know bout the bx but if u break somthin on the duratrax veichals there is relly no hop ups for it and not that much parts for it.....now the t-maxx its the most upgradeable truck in the r/c industry....and i break my evader st every 1 week and then i break the t-maxx every 3 weeks

I have a bit of advice for you, STAY AWAY FROM DURATAX. They will fall apart on you with normal dirving. I know this because my friend and I have driven them ( he owns almost all of the duratrax vehicles and is trying to sell them because he is going to TRAXXAS. Our favorites are the rustlers and the T/E/Sport Maxx. The Sport Maxx is basically a stampede on steriods. it uses the TRX 2.5 nitro motor and is faster than its four wheel drive older brother, and it is cheaper.

what are you going to do to your truck??????i still have a car on my wish list......i like the tuner cars because they are so huge out here in california.....so i want a 2004 Subaru WRX and i want to put a stage 4 turbo on it and a 150 shot of NOS......or i want a 1963 voltswagen rag-top (my dad is one of the best restoration guys out there) and put a fuel injected turbo running about 12 PSI of boost......that it equal to about a 315 horsepower voltwagen flat 4 engine in a car that weighs only 1200 pounds.....this car is going to be awsome!!!!!!so let me know about the stuff you want to do to your truck!!!

wow....dude,how old are you? u seem to know a lot about nos and turbos and just cars in general.you should put your knowledge to use and try to get some work in some shop possibly! About my truck, its an 85 chevy truck.short wide bed,regular cab. it looks really sharp.u see the pic of it... if not here it is. well it has a chevy 305 small block that is factory and a 350 tranny. its pretty much completely stock except the tranny,chrome valve covers,wheels and tires,flowmaster single exaust,paint,and a sound system.my future plans which should be happining soon is to put a 350 engine and a 700r4 tranny under the hood.lower it about 3 in front and 3 in back so it will set a lil nose down giving that muscle look,and to put a lil wider tires on it to give it that fat drag tire look.also a billet insert grill and a bed cover.when it comes to hopping up the engine when i get the 350 i wanna go with a elderbrock manifold and a holly carb,and some chrome valve covers and other nice parts.out where i live there is street racing everywhere.my goal it to get my truck known in my area were people know who i am and that my truck is one of the fastest around. it will be a chore to get all this done but it will be fun.tuners are kool,me personally like raw american muscle but man,those tuners look so fricken sweet.i watch fast and the furiest all the time and like set there and look at all the cars and stuff.lol.but yeah,thats the 411 on my truck.

i just turned 15 on wednesday.....i think you should also put a bigger cam in the 350....it will give you tons of tourq and low-end power...and if you want some top end in it, drop some cash and put some JE "half moon" pistons in it so when you are at about 5500 RPM it will not redline too quick and it will pull really hard off the line....just a suggestion....also go with magnaflow exuast becuase the flowmasters resinate really bad when you are only cruzin' and you will want it off within a week....
back yo r/c i just bought a OFNA Ultra MBX Pro yesterday and i have not even broken it in all the way and the steering servo broke....so i am going to get new aluminum geared ones tommorow.....i am getting the for only 30 bucks a peice!!!!!
i talk to you later....it is close to 2:00 in the morning and i just got done partyin' so i'll get back to you tommorow.....

now if its somthing i know about customizing trucks its suspension. if you are going to drop your truck, do it in style and slam it. save up your pennies and get some air bags. they will not onlydrop your truck how ever low you want it, it will also make all of your friends envious over it and they will either A) tell you it sucks or B) tell you they want to play with your control box. air bags are sweet. but if you decide you just want to put springs in, dont just heat them up or cut them. becasue this will cause your wheels to become crazy out of allignment and practicly impossible to re-align. this is becasue the arms or too long for the drop. but hey, sounds like you have a sweet plan set up for your truck, i'm sorking on a new air suspension kit or the truck i just got. i wrecked my old one :( . but all the power to you.
i kinda got off track there. about yoru RC. i have owned a Traas nitro rustler and nitro stampede. the stampede blew, but the rustler was dman sweet. and i also own an Evader ST. no other than nitro being a bit funner than electric, i really dont have a favorite here. the evader is a sweet electric that gets the job done. if you ever decided to get one, i would say go with the evader ST pro. faster car and a bit nicer. and the nitro rustler is probly one of the best nitro trucks i've ever driven (in its class). but this was with the old pro .15. i'm not sure how the 2.5 perform.

I have to say going stadium is the S#!%. IMO it is alot more fun to get on a track (off-road) and race around it w/ 3+ trucks. Look around and see if there are any local tracks around your area, go down and check it out. You won't be disappointed!
