Thanks Syl. I think the body didn't turn out quite the way i wanted it too, but I am still pretty pleased with it though, i wnated the metallic burgandy a tad more faded in.

Wow!

This truck turned out to be much prettier than it ever was.

Did you run it yet?

GorillaMaxx360 01.09.2007 08:54 AM

Nice Work

Sylvester 01.09.2007 09:03 AM

Newe, i think the body looks alright, just put some monster stickers on there! :)

Mike.L 01.09.2007 09:25 AM

Yep i agree, looking good! and super nice body!

neweuser 01.09.2007 10:12 AM

Cap'n-thanks, yes I ran it, it runs like a dream! I cannot believe the difference the racer x makes! I really like the set backs, it seems to really put the power down along with the slipperential! It won't even bring the tires up off the ground, it sticks like glue!

GM360-took some time, some work, thanks!

Syl-Yeah, I have the stickers, jsut have not put them on yet :P

Mike L-thanks man! Some mistakes in it, but you can't see them :P

Thanks guys! I'll get some pics of it when the body is totally complete and mounted.

Well how can you say the racer x is the big improvement.
You changed arms as well as went to the slipperntial.
You also made the truck longer as well.
All that together makes a difference in the way a truck handles.

It's an impressive truck! makes me want to sell my FLM chassis and go G-Maxx!

Leroy - I stated all the combos...made the difference, but I think the Racer X helps A LOT TOO. Or am I wrong?

thanks, I really like it. I did before too, but better now.

Yup, the racer-X does help alot. It was made for pure racing.

I think that the slipperential helps stick it to the ground as far as traction, but the suspension makes it handle.

Procharged5.0 01.09.2007 02:56 PM

They both help in different ways.

Newe,

Does the slipperential have any unusual feel or behavior to it? Or does it just help keep the truck "glued" to the track?

If you are used to a tranny, it makes a big difference, but I think, at least for me, it's very easy to control and get used to. But I wouldn't say that it is "unusual". It adds a lot to the way the truck handles as the front tires work almost as much as the rear. Make sense?

Procharged5.0 01.09.2007 05:07 PM

Yes, makes sense.

I'd like to drive one with the slipperential and check it out.

neweuser 01.09.2007 05:10 PM

If you are used the maxx kinda just like slow then turn, no worries here, just turn the damn thing and it takes the corners, no prob!
