That's an insult mike :) .

After a 5min race (usual length) my 9920 hits 155 and 9XL is about 150.

The 9XL has a heatsink, but the shell had no holes in it.

Hi guys just thought i'd let you all know how I liked the chassis, the maxx was at its first race meeting since seeing the G2 X-Brace chassis put in. Also grabbed me a G3 motor mount.

I was running rings round the competition! I was out-handling modded savages and revos. This chassis, race-wise is a must have. The second place runner was a revo with an RB 323. In the final I lapped him twice! I was only a few seconds off of the truggy pace and was lapping seconds better than 1/8 buggies. If your Maxx is ever going to hear the word race, you MUST buy one of these chassis'.

Traction-wise, it's helped alot too. Big up to gorillamaxx for this one!

Did you expect anything less? :p

Mike.L 07.23.2006 10:52 PM

got me one last week darren!!!

Darren 07.24.2006 06:16 AM

Mike, you'll love it!

Squee I was expecting to win, of course, but I wasn't expecting to lap everyone at least twice! I only race with 14 cells!

My best lap time was a 31.9 the truggys were pulling 30.5s and the 1/th buggies were on about 33. Can't say how much I love this chassis!

Mike.L 07.24.2006 11:34 AM

wow those are great times, your also running on stock tires amagine new and more grippyer tires!!

Darren, I know you don't really like stuff like the Crimes and Bow Ties, but maybe some of the new Badlands Mt's? From what you've told us about your track, they look like they might work quite well.

Gustav 07.24.2006 01:02 PM

That's a good suggestion,looking at the track i think that's the tyre i'd try aswell.Keep the wheels std offset though and not the +1/2",more traction on the narrower offset.

Darren,where abouts is the track?i'm not that far from Carlisle.Couple of hours from Glasgow.

Cool, hope to see you out there soon mate. Maybe i'll have some MT competition now :018: . Yo goin' down! :005:

Gustav 07.26.2006 12:57 PM

OK,since you put it like that i'll see what i can do:028: :027:

Do i need a BRCA licence to get club membership?

Also will i need to bring a pit guy,or could i get away with just bringing me if i'm just running electric?

Edit;also i've been watching the videos and from the look of the track i'd say you need a long wheelbase and wide track for stability,and a narrow tire to bite through,defo no 40 series on that track.I'd extent the g-maxx if you haven't already.i kinda like the look of the track though,it looks challenging.

Not yet I haven't mate.

You can apply for the BRCA licence when you join, we have forms. You wont need a pit guy, our races are only 5mins.

If you want, i'll try and get some forms posted to you?

Gustav 07.26.2006 02:49 PM

Yes please Darren,

i'll pm you my name and address.
Do all the forms go to Ian Gillies then,or do some have to go to the BRCA first?

Darren 07.26.2006 03:26 PM

Well if I send you out a form of each kind, then you fill them out and send them back, i'll give them to Ian, then he will send the BRCA one away, after that, i'll get your membership card and stuff from Ian, and send it up to you.
