Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / February 2004

I got one when they first came out.
The only real difference between the T Maxx and the Sport in the
handling area are you have to get off the throttle a little more to turn
in hard. I love mine, I did put in the two speed tranny but not the reverse.
I just converted mine to a Six wheeler, so, I guess it is 4 wheel
drive now. Still no power to the front wheels though.
I say get one, Set up right, they can handle much like a stadium truck.

I've got a little stick time on a SportMaxx; I think it drives like a
big stadium truck or something.  A little quicker off the line.  

There's also a free 2speed thing going on for SportMaxx:

Went up sometime this week.  I watch the homepages of all the major
players (ofna, Associated, Losi, Traxxas, etc) every day for tidbits
like this.

For example, Losi has annonced an H2-like body for the Mini-T:

Digression:  Losi is putting a lot more money into Mini-T accessories
production than I would have thought.  This means to me that they
think it's going to be a longterm seller rather than a fad.  I hope
so; I like mine.  I'd like some inexpensive oil shocks, though.

I really need to switch to decaf.
