Since he said he likes his stockers for his track, I would go with Traxxas' new 3.8" chevron.

I got to test it today at the track, it only breaks traction occasionally now, and i'm VERY happy with it. It corners as well as my brushless Lightning Truggy now.

Awesome Job to the Gorillamaxx Team!

I know what you mean. I finally got my LSP-R running right last night. Took 6 months for me to figure out what the problem was! Ok, lets be honest, I only worked on it about 4 times in that 6 months :p. Anywho, I was surprised as to how well it handles. The Lightning is probably the best handling truck I've ever driven.

I was lapping quicker with the Maxx than I was with the Lightning :) .

What!?!?! What setup do you have in the Maxx? It must be a hotter motor, right?

Maxx setup is:
G2 Chassis
Stock Maxx Tyres
45Wt oil all round
Stock shock positions with a little extra spacers in 4 shocks
9XL on 14 cells

Lightning is:
Mashers on some truck-ish proline rims
stock shocks with an extra spacer each
10XL on 14 cells

The maxx just feels more solid around the track, like its hugging the ground better.

If the lightning were running heavier shock oil and maybe a tooth or 2 higher on the pinion I reckon we'd be seeing a good fight.

I can slide a little better with the lightning though. But i just LOVE how the maxx handles with the G2.

Slight difference in a straight line but nothing massive.

Are you running stock shocks with the Maxx?

Step up to some PowerStrokes (if you can find some - they are out of production). I had some on my E-Maxx (now on my T-Maxx that I am going G2R), and they handle awesome on both trucks. It also somehow cuts down on wheelies alot, but I dont really get much squat either...

They just work awesome.

squeeforever 07.07.2006 12:42 AM

Yup, I had them to and they are by far the best shock I've ever seen/used.

Darren 07.07.2006 05:01 AM

Its a supermaxx project, so i'm expecting towered VBS 8-spider diffs and SuperShocks at the begginning of September :) .

Darren 07.07.2006 10:18 AM

I have some RD tyres which are bowtie copies and i dont like them that much, the turning on them isnt nearly as good as the chevrons. Chevrons are more monstrous anyway :) .

Mike.L 07.08.2006 10:22 AM
