</div>This one of a kind hearse body can only be described as "outrageous" with its fifties style fins & curves, the only thing missing is a rain cloud hovering over it.<br />
The kit apparently comes with window mask & chrome decal trim, not to mention the massive hood scoop for full effect and fits the t-maxx and the savage monsters<br />
The new graverobber body by H P I is just perfect for this time of year and at just about $30.you cant loose.Leisure Monkeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13798104896462946430noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6765260082093657349.post-88687945716516780042009-10-25T17:16:00.000-07:002009-10-25T17:47:37.941-07:00RC Zone<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Ox959y9O-s6HvZ-c1mYo3giCDqxkzdHtekMkap6gp2I3O1TcwczS_QARKZKmjzUMbPIoibN4BitIz6l-tySPadKqQWQ4Hypdz017pLTCUFZ-mj7XS0mWNkW9TtzZhXRhPisC7YFuibLW/s1600-h/trx49086.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Ox959y9O-s6HvZ-c1mYo3giCDqxkzdHtekMkap6gp2I3O1TcwczS_QARKZKmjzUMbPIoibN4BitIz6l-tySPadKqQWQ4Hypdz017pLTCUFZ-mj7XS0mWNkW9TtzZhXRhPisC7YFuibLW/s320/trx49086.jpg" /></a><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> This week I thought I would examine the <a href="http://www.traxxas.com/products/nitro/maxx/tmaxx33/trx_tmaxx33.htm">T-Maxx 3.3</a> Monster Truck, by far the most popular radio controlled Nitro Monster Truck in the history of RC.<br />
</div><br />
The model #4908 is the latest offering by T-Maxx with noticeably improved "girth" and 50 or so mm's longer with a wider stance. The addition of a full "<a href="http://www.traxxas.com/products/nitro/revo/revo33/trx_revo33.htm">Revo</a>" drive train and transmission with reverse adds to the value of this Monster. Insane speeds come from the TRX 3.3 racing engine with a larger displacement and advance porting for class-leading horse power.<br />
<br />
Recommended fuel for the TRX 3.3 is <a href="http://www.traxxas.com/products/accessories/trx_accessories_topfuel.htm">Traxxas Top Fuel</a>, which comes in 10, 20 and 33% Nitro content and is available at almost any Hobby Shop for around $40 / gallon. Which should last you a season (3-4 months) or more, in my case.<br />
<br />
Starting the T-Maxx is sweet with the <a href="http://www.traxxas.com/products/accessories/trx_accessories_ez.htm">EZ-Start</a> system. Just one push of a button and Bob's your Uncle! The engine comes to life without incident. If there is a problem, the lights on your hand-held control unit will glow and indicate the problem. Such as, a bad glow plug or motor shut down in protection mode due to an excessive load.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.stormerhobbies.com/">Stormer Hobbies</a> online is where I got my latest T-Maxx (got a great deal!). These guys were helpful and quite friendly to deal with.<br />
<br />
This has just been an intro to the new T-Maxx and I hope you found it interesting and consider it when looking for a great Nitro Monster Truck. Dozens of dealers also exist out there who can provide aftermarket parts to personalize and customize your ride. Such as <a href="http://www.integy.com/">Integy</a>, just to mention one. And to be sure there are a jillion ways to set up your T-Maxx... Now, have fun!Leisure Monkeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13798104896462946430noreply@blogger.com1
