all arms bend hingepins at some point and time but your right they migh bend them more than others, but they still are good(expensive though). but it depends what you are using them for if you are not going to be running in to trees or curbs, or jumping 10 foot cliffs you should be fine with g-maxx stuff.

I think you mean Unlimited Engineering! And I ran the gorilla arms for a long time. If you are racing only they are fine, I never had probs bashing either until one bad jump.....if you can imagine what 8 feet can do!!!! But UE takes the cake and most will swear by it. Although, I'm curious to what gmaxx is doing with the 3.3 stuff. Hopefully, they will build them out of 7075! That would make a big difference IMO.

with my gmaxx, I only ever bent one pin...ever

I have the Racer-X by Unlimited Engineering. Best on the market bar none (IMO). The GMaxx arms are light and nice but not nearly as strong as the UE.

The Flextek is supposed to be nice too but I hev no personal experience with them.

And I'm sure UE has too! LOL:010:

You can bend or break just about anything. Some parts tolerate abuse better than others though!

And I totally agree! Well said Pro 5.0:027:

I think RPM is NOT a good way to go on the Maxx if your running CVD's...I run them on my Revo and they do well, but I ran them when I had CVD's and it it wasn't pretty...I had one pop out from a hard turn...And that was just with nitro :p. I thought they would be ok on the Revo and not do like they do on the Maxx because the arm's are more robust and don't flex as much, well I thought wrong...Now what was I saying? Oh, yea, don't get RPM's if your going with CVD's...

Too much flex huh?!

WOW i have been calling them ultimate engineering for about a year i just glanced at there sight and my brain processied ultimate SO sorry for any previous mispellings of Un[B]LIMITED[B] Engineering LOL

well i should have the emaxx by the end of the week... ill look it over for any damage then start ordering stuff! i think im sold on the aluminum chassis, but for arms im kinda up in the air... this maxx isnt my main unit, so i cant see spending that much on arms..:eek: ive got buggies that take priority! my revo is in peices in a box! lol im so mad at that thing, the chassis is a peice of crap that i bend every time out. if i have to replace another spur ill burn it! and yes ive been running steel, the nova 528xr eats em like candy! so the revo will remain in a box untill a solution comes out. a buggy is more fun anyways!!:005:

back on topic.. i do like the blingy look of the aluminum ars, but good lord they want a fortune for em! ive been watching ebay for used stuff but i havnt found anything yet..
is the fast lane stuff good? i like their bulk/diff combo that allows the use of buggy diffs! i have the diffs already.
how about the power stroke shocks, any good? they sure look and sound cool!! from what i can tell the stock emaxx shocks blow? what should i get?
what wheel set up do you guys like, 23mm? ive got those... what offset wheels, standard or 1/2" offset?
i suppose the knuckles suck too?

sorry for all the questions... i dont know any other people who run electric! ill be the first at our track, another reason i dont wanna spend a grand on this emaxx... its more of a novelty. im getting the truck for no out of pocket money so i can afford to put a few hunderd into it right away, but i want to asses the situation at that point and see if its really worth going any farther.

so far i want the chassis, some shocks, bulks, arms(even if its rpm). if i like it then ill go further.:010:

Id try the FLM hybrid combo bulks with HB pro diffs. Those would be pretty much bullet proof. The flm arms arent bad, and if they break its 5$ to replace them so they are pretty much not bad. Id take the UE shocks (4 of them) since they are smooth and are very strong. The powerstrokes are nice, but they are discontinued so finding them isnt too easy. As for 23mm hexes, if you want them, get the dace adaptors. They are very nice and are alot better than pro-line since they actually grab onto the stock hex.

I saw the proline shocks in stock at proline last week? And they go on ebay too. If you already have 1/8th diffs, get the hybrids. Arms, FLM are good to use, and their warranty is good. Knuckles, RPM's are ok, I run those on my girls truck.

cool, ill look into those shocks! lemme guess... they cost ya your first born? lol..:027:

heres my revo for those who havnt seen it. its sportin a novarossi 528xr, and every possible goody!:028: im using a qoncepts big block kit, its the best by far. look at their site, im their poster boy!! lol..:005: im on their front page, yeah baby!:027:

I know the shocks are discontinued - but they probably still sell the leftovers - but they sure do cost a pretty penny! Nice revo! IMO i like the revo more than the maxx, but if it comes to a fully hopped up one - like troy's (neweuser) maxx, id take the maxx over it.

so whats the story on the tranny, is it gonna explode easy? what options are there to beef it up?:028:
