new maxx

**mike-susieq1** · 03-16-2013 08:18 PM

yeah i know what you mean i dont prefer so much alum so i will do my best to not have any if at all possible. Running my emaxx and merv is more of a stress reliever than anything right now.

**50togo** · 03-16-2013 08:25 PM

i know that. finally get the kid up there to ride and get up the hill to see that! should of turned around and hit the flats!

**Mugs** · 03-16-2013 08:32 PM

Hey 50, that is some serious damage you daughter picked up. Always sad to see someone's rig broken. Hope you manage to get it fixed soon.

**50togo** · 03-16-2013 08:57 PM

thanks! parts are on order already!

**EMAXXBRUSHLESS** · 03-17-2013 06:53 AM

Thats a bummer 50, Some alum skids might have saved it. Integy actually makes some pretty good titanium ones.

**50togo** · 03-17-2013 02:17 PM

Or a t bone bumper

**EMAXXBRUSHLESS** · 03-17-2013 04:30 PM

The tbone would help but the plastic skids holding it all together is definetly a weak point on the maxx. I,ve seen pics of a few of them on here in two pcs. I have some tbones, i dont much care for the look of them but from what i read they work good.Might put them on my basher.

**MITCH316** · 03-17-2013 05:31 PM

Unlucky mate...in half. Did the truck land on its rear end?

**50togo** · 03-18-2013 12:34 AM

I had just broke the axle in my revo and drove it to me and heard my daughter go -look what happened! So I didn't see!

**50togo** · 03-19-2013 02:57 PM

Look what came today!

**EMAXXBRUSHLESS** · 03-19-2013 03:19 PM

Looks sweet! Now you have a little work to do. Thats what my roadmaxx started out as. I put the chassis braces on it and leaned it up against the wall and admired it for weeks untill i started buying all the rest of the parts. A little heavier but it wont break.

**Wildman4910** · 03-19-2013 03:22 PM

Shiny! It's gonna look awesome!

**50togo** · 03-19-2013 04:27 PM

Yep! Working on my erbe same time!got the boca orange seals for the revo and have the yellow seals for the carriers for the maxx

**Usman** · 03-19-2013 06:07 PM

Looks Mega!

**Mugs** · 03-19-2013 08:48 PM

Let's see you try break that one.

**50togo** · 03-19-2013 08:53 PM

Don't you mean my daughter!

**50togo** · 03-20-2013 11:31 PM

Ain't that nice!

**50togo** · 03-22-2013 09:46 PM

Here I was holding off on the switchover because I forgot to order a rear skid plate that was also broken. When I have two t maxxes I could of robbed some parts off!

**MITCH316** · 03-22-2013 09:51 PM

Nice and shiny until it sees some dirt

.

**mike-susieq1** · 03-22-2013 09:53 PM

ooh man i thought this build/switch over was done and you posted the completed product? j/k. its good that tmaxx stuff fits and to have those extra. I know i didnt buy a extra set of skids because i thought since mine is doing so good right now i wont need them later on well i should have been getting some parts for the emaxx for later use.

That is a nice chassis and braces for sure.

**MITCH316** · 03-22-2013 09:55 PM

Mate...what your thoughts so far on that chassis? A worthy upgrade...I am toying with the idea of getting myself one.

**50togo** · 03-22-2013 11:19 PM

Looks pretty heavy duty!
Today I was going to start on it but had to do some wrenching on my s2000. Had to replace the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder!

**Fr8cture** · 03-22-2013 11:35 PM

Looks pretty sweet, thought I would come check out your maxx thread.

**50togo** · 03-23-2013 12:52 AM

Thanks!
Double the fun! But double the price too!

**all_rice** · 03-23-2013 07:02 PM

Did the dog bones come with the chassis?

**50togo** · 03-23-2013 07:26 PM

Yes. Dog bones and cups. Although they are stock size my pinion is 8mm

I use this foam in my erbe and merv

Would be better if it was one piece but this foam is pretty dense and hard

**all_rice** · 03-23-2013 08:16 PM

Do you have the traxxas center cvd? Had an issue with my FLM ones popping out cause they are short. Got some traxxas cvd's and it's too long lol.

**50togo** · 03-23-2013 09:13 PM

Yep traxxas cvds. I will have to see. Front or rear too short?
Did you contact flm?

**all_rice** · 03-23-2013 10:04 PM

Rear too short, didn't try the front. Ill call them on Monday.

**50togo** · 03-23-2013 10:38 PM

I measured the chassis to the stock one. Seemed pretty close

**all_rice** · 03-23-2013 10:53 PM

Stock is telescopic though, right? Looks like I may have to take the truck apart to figure this out?

**50togo** · 03-23-2013 11:44 PM

i meant stock chassis length to the flm chassis length

**mydudrevo** · 03-23-2013 11:57 PM

Any pics of the truck all put together with the new chassis yet 50

**50togo** · 03-24-2013 01:25 AM

Wanted to get my daughter wrenching on it. So plan on it for tomorrow!

**EMAXXBRUSHLESS** · 03-24-2013 10:14 AM

Thats great! Sounds like a good idea. Once she starts wrenching on it, she might go a little easier on it too. But now that its much stronger she might not.

**50togo** · 03-24-2013 12:38 PM

That's what I think. But you never know!

**MITCH316** · 03-24-2013 04:40 PM

Nice mate...she'll have a better understanding of what's involved every time something breaks

.

**50togo** · 03-24-2013 04:56 PM

Well the traxxas cvd is definitely too long for the rear

Be nice to have something truely bolt on!

**Usman** · 03-24-2013 05:10 PM

That is one nice looking chasis!

**mike-susieq1** · 03-24-2013 05:32 PM

its looking nice there buddy, would be nice if that cvd fit just perfect. did you polish that as well? looks pretty shiny
