You may need to do l little shaving on the rpm arm so they fit better in the bulks. It won't be much.

Thanks for the info. I am really excited and a little nervous to break everything down and rebuild with the new stuff.

You are in the right place if you have any issues. Everyone here is very helpful and informative. So start tearing that thing down only way you will learn.

Oh man, nothing's better than a whole bunch of goodies on the way! I pretty much have all the same stuff on my Maxx with the addition of the FLM chassis. Post some pics of your progress. My Maxx build will always be one of my favorites!

[OHLC]

Thanks guys. I'll take lots of pics.

Nothing like fresh parts!

Be sure to post your build pics.

Only problem I see is the chassis braces, they fit a T-Maxx 2.5 which is a shorter chassis truck like the old E-Maxx 3906 so they won't work if you have a EMBE with the extended chassis.

Nice catch!!! I was able to contact the vendor and get the right chassis brace. THANK YOU johnny5c!

Hate to tell you but also have the wrong axle carriers, the ones one your list are for the 3906. #80582 are the ones you need. Sorry I didn't catch it last night.

RC Planets says the 80032 will work with the EMBE. But after checking out RPMs website I believe you to be right. Thanks again.

New charger and LiPo's arrived. Hopefully I don't break everything tonight.

Are you aware the RPM long body mounts don't fit the FLM shocktowers?

No sir. Glad I asked before trying to put all this stuff together. Do the stock body mounts fit? What body mounts are a strong and fit the FLM towers?

[MAXXXMASHER]

Pro-Line makes a set of long body mounts that will fit them. Also, go easy with the Venom 20c lipos. A MMM setup draws a lot of amps, and the packs might get overtaxed. Better to go with 30c to be safe. They'll be ok if you keep an eye on them and don't do a lot of speed passes....

Stock body posts is a direct fit. Just make sure to turn them in the correct direction. I don't see any durabillity issues of using those.
