Wheelie bars, and power to weight ratio on them is along the lines of top fuel dragsters ;) 2-3hp on something that weighs 15lbs. It's harder to keep the front wheels on the ground :)

They have adjustable clutches too so you can limit the front pull off the ground and such.

Ramos, if you get one I recommend the Revo the T-maxx isn't super stable (mine is the older one) and also the Revo's parts don't seem to break as much since they have a sort of F1 style suspension. If you a really going to bash your truck though I'd look into a Savage--the inner frame design is just stronger than the pan style chassis's on the Traxxas stuff.

Real men don't use wheelie bars :D With my race truck I can ride one for about 100' or so. Then I loose on it's lid usually :)

Got a first edition revo. I actually like the way the maxx handles on the track better than the revo. Powerslides ftw :D Good friends with the owner of a local hobby shop. He said he would give me $250 trade in for my older revo, or he would trade me even for a savage 4.6 ss kit I still have in the box :)

I'm 0-3 for packages today.

I'm about to go driving around to look for the mail truck myself. Wouldn't be the first time I've done that.

I should have guessed. I am thinking about parting out my first gen T-maxx and probably selling my Rustler. Having time for all 3 is just not possible for me.

He's a great guy.

If my front door is open he'll just walk on in and toss the package on the couch.

Dude drives the mail truck like nobody's business ... even cranks the tunes on the little stock stereo they have in there :D

Ramos,

Revo is stock so no real logic in shooting a picture of it. At the track I definetely have the most "unique" car as everyone runs the same stuff and nobody a Rustler, especially not with a stang body on it. It looked a lot better before going out and bashing it, but nonetheless...

Oh, where I really like the Revo best is pounding through the fields. I am related to farmers and the T-maxx flips over like nobodies business where the Revo sort of hovers above the field grooves. It has been pretty tough too.
