no jumps, sorry. that involves too much work :thumbsup

no body + wet pavement + snow + electronics= FAIL! that thing wont be running too much longer if you keep that up.

Those fuckers are tough. My buddy's nitro rustler got ran over by a real car and all he had to replace was the rear shock tower and the engine heatsink.

I basically wrapped my car in a plastic bag with some saran wrap, cut a hole for filter/exhaust then put the body back on and it held out 99% of snow.

ive had this t-maxx since the 8th grade. (im going to be 21 in 2 weeks). its still running strong with no electrical problems yet. its been beat to hell in all types of weather and it still runs and works just fine ;)


the only thing thats been changed twice was the engine since they eventually just wear out after about 10-12 gallons of nitro.

I've had one since middle school and I'm 21 now. It may not have been touched it since middle school though. I've spent over $1000 dollars on that thing, maintaining it was expensive.

I bought a Megatech M16 engine, big tube header, vented flywheel, some aftermarket air filter, blue exhaust pipe. Parts kept braking on it. It was fun when it worked though.
