YES! Another r/c'er and you're in mississauga, there's a few of us who run at westend meets, me, eg4door (pat), my buddy who comes along.

I've got a T-maxx, an electric rally (which is on ebay), and a Mini-T.

I'm up for running whenever I can get my cars started (problems with the one-way on the T-maxx).

I usually go to hobbyhobby in streetsville because they stock a lot of parts. 2nd I go to boytoys, but they don't stock what I need now that I run the maxx mostly. Clodbusters are cool, got any pics of yours?

I've been in since I was 14, so 4 years now.

I've been thru a few cars, Nitro Rustler, Nitro RS4-2, RS4 Rally, Mini-T, T-maxx. Some dude is offering me a trade, my rally for his nitro rustler, Ill prolly do that.

Now I remember that galaxy, I bought a body from them at the hobby show, my buddy was gonna buy a tmaxx from them but he ended up buying used. I'm gonna try to find the place tomorrow lol see what he has.

I miss summer so much..... Definately gotta do some kind of TCC R/C meet. Greg is the T-Maxx finally working, I've yet to see it fully run, and get a Nitro On Road instead of that Rustler.

I know of one more dude that I'm friends with, pat knows him (justin), we're trying to get this other dude into r/c as well

The only thing wrong with the t-maxx is the one way starter bearing, gets oily and slips on the shaft, once its started its fine. Me and jus strapped in 5 cell sub C receiver packs eh? lol theyre huge but they never run out of juice!

I agree Galaxyhobby is pretty cheap, thier prices usually are cheaper compared to Hobby Hobby or Boys Toys. I'll probably start buying more of my parts from them. (psss Don't tell Daniel ) Plus they stock Serpent Parts, maybe I'll get a Serpent 710 this summer.

Greg do you mean the starter bearing from the pullstart? If you could you should convert your motor to a non pullstart, makes life easier. Thought you were getting a new O.S. for the Maxx? But anyways get an On Road!!! I need someone to smoke my car with.

Yea I went to galaxy yesterday, they seem to have good parts stockage for the mini-T, once my auction sells I'll prolly get a new motor and oil shocks for it, and then use the rest towards the maxx. I started her up yesterday perfectly, ran a couple tanks before the sun fell. Looking good so far!

I'm not to good at these cars and stuff, but if your looking for them and races, try Hobby Hobby.
