Nice! But stock shocks? I had a great set of Powerstrokes that would have complimented it perfectly! :lol:

That truck is pretty! What body are you running?
How is that wing mounted?
And I think your front bumper is on upside down...

Sorry for the questions and critique...:lol:

7075 billet alluiminum UE knuckle heads are probably one of the number 1 things you can buy for any maxx truck. I think I have a extra set of UE knuckle head towers, if your interested lmk. I also have a dd wing mount also. I think really should look into buying the rpm aarms and make sure you get truetracs for the rear. RPM towers are too flexible in my book and the body mounts dont hardly last long at all if you flip over. Dwights bumper is up side down but maybe he like it like that. IDK lol

i started out with the stock lid, but i have a custom 8ight-t body that a friend is painting that i wanna try.

the rear wing is an XTM mount with an ofna high flow wing i think. it's bolted right into the rear bumper. the other G4 has an ofna mount that's bolted into the rpm rear bumper. i never had to drill any holes...they just screw right into the pre-drilled ones.

yeah, the suspension was a huge issue, and something i play around with constantly. i started out with the stock shock setup, but it was too soft and i got a ton of body roll. i then tried the trinity x-tra heavy black springs, but went to the dual rate springs as it tended to bottom out on huge jumps. i'm happy with it now, but might play around with the ofna shocks you included. they are HUGE.

i hadn't really thought of the powerstrokes. proline makes them?

my bumper might be upside down? really? :rofl: dang...i never saw that. :rofl:

EDIT: i've also upgraded the stock drive shafts to the traxxas cvds. i like them alot. :smile:

Yep, bumper is upside down... lol. I took front and rear bumpers off. I'm relying on my Ti skids.

I'm not a fan of the Wing on the MT, which is why I haven't installed one yet. I like the look of truck bodies. However, the truggy look of the G4 may entice me to add one and get a racing styled body... How does the 8ight-T body fit?

Yep, Proline made the Powerstrokes. Unfortunatley, they discontinued the production. They are really smooth and higly recommended on Maxx trucks.

On those Ofna shock, you may need to pick up some stiffer springs.

i haven't tried to mount the body yet, but it looks like it'll work with no problems. :yes:


thanks for the info about the ofnas.

I have some 2s Turnigy 5000 packs coming in. Looks like I might have to scrounge around and get some of those new 45C Polyquest packs. 2 4s 3700's in parallel should be amazing!

So the G4 came in! And man o man it looks great! I put it together in 1 hours time, no sweat. But its going to be coming apart for some special treatment, hopefully. I'll get some pics as of now later.

EDIT: Weighs in a 9lb 10oz RTR!

Updated pics right after my MMM burnt up....

Looks great! Your MMM brunt up? That stinks!

yep, sucks! I hope it doesn't take 4+ weeks...

Looking real nice, A set of the UE shock towers would really finish it off !!

nitro.... if you'll oblige me a small threadjack... are the 3906 and 3905 bulks the same?
I should know this, 'cept I don't run bulks...

But need to know if these http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail.php?prod=FLM17001
are ok for the 3905?

And also does anyone make aluminum diff cases for the 3905?

Yep, those FLM bulks are really nice and strong and at a great price.

I have a set of Hardcore Racing bulks for sale. These are super strong and light, and are no longer in production tho.

Thanks for the offer, I think you'd better reserve those for someone who won't trash em in a day or two lol...

No on the aluminum diffcases? I have looked far and wide....

GH makes 3905 cups, they have silver too, but I HATE that company lol..

Thanks Jay, they're about on par with Integy aren't they....

I swear I was on GH's own site and missed those.

Yeah that has to be about the queerest name for an aftermarket parts co..... when I think of rc'c I think of rainbows and unicorns and sht.

Coupon code for 10% off on GH's site: byt009
Good until Oct. 16

CLICK

You've got to find the other set though. And maybe you've seen this...

I've seen some come through ebay recently. The UE solution will always satisfy. Ultralights often come through.

CLICK This may not help as all of this is 3906 but worth a try.

UE 8s Ultralights and FLM bulks did the trick for me...

This must be for your friends Emaxx? We all know it cant be for yours.

Redshift and guys: WHAT THE...??

And again??

Yep Zack, for my buddy's Maxx.... I'm trying to get him to ditch it before he puts another 4 bills into it... not to be a hater, but for pure bashing... well?

Thanks for the linkys, I'll have to check them out at lunchtime.
