Nice Rusty, but what's up with the ultra-long zip ties on the shock towers?

The transmission is still only bolted down with the stock holes, and now those holes are further back on the chassis. The trans is mounted on the thinnest, most flexible part of the chassis already, and I made that section even longer with the dremeling I had to do to fit the trans on backwards. Before the zipties, the trans could rotate backwards about 20 degrees just by pushing it with my hands. I think it would have resulted in massive wheel hop, if not a broken chassis. The zip ties made it even stiffer than stock, because it preloads the chassis somewhat. I plan on making a wheelie bar set up for it soon, when I do Ill just extend the skid plate section forward some to brace the chassis. That will allow me to get rid of the zipties.

Jaco makes some foams for the Maxx, but there discontinued and there hard to find. :mad:1

I believe that Panther Tire recently released molded foams for the MAXX sized tires. My LHS has them.

We were talking about foam tires actually.

I was talking to the guy at my lhs, he said he can probably get some imex foams in, so Ill probably go back to that plan.

Heres some updated pictures:

And heres a small video: http://s65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...speedruns1.flv
55.7mph geared 24/83. Could probably gear up more, but I plan on changing tires soon.

Looks good! Very fast!

Cool video. Looks very fast indeed.

what was the top speed on those runs? my rusty wants to go hide under a rock now because yours looks much cooler than my stock one with a mamba max 5700 in it

55.7 according to the gps.
