that could help!!! but he has never asked for it, or replied yet. if he wants it? are you going to leave them racer x arms we are bidding on alone?? i wont bid on the vbs's if you do?

Yea, I don't need the RacerX, but I REALLY, REALLY need the VBS.

retract your bid then?? might be to late.

I have already been outbid on the RacerX, but I have been speaking with him, so I will see what I can do..

ya, by me

Cool deal, you won them...rock on!!! If I can find it in my insanely messed up RC Room, I have a Racer-X Rear Lower H-Arm in pretty good condition, and I will send it to you if you want it...I don't need it since I always run Setbacks on all my Racer-X Suspensions.

ya, i run the setbacks also, i plan to sell the rear lower arms, and all the front arms, all i needed was the knuckles, and one rear upper arm. i still would like to find a set of 16mm ones though. being i have a set of 8mm cvds. thank you for the offer of the one arm though.

If i do decide to sell the UE chassis, i have to give a fellow in Netherlands first crack at it, as I promised him that a few years ago. I will post pictures here if you want - the truck is almost rtr, but only the chassis and a few other components on this truck in particular are UE. I have a 2.5 T-maxx with the smallblock Dace chassis, UE single speed and racer X shocks and suspension on it as well somewhere - used to be a kick-ass race truck back in the day. I plan on keeping the racer x, vbs setup on my old race G-Maxx, though(I hope to someday bring it back to show/race condition and keep it for posterity, as it has an original emaxx part on it somewhere(before widemaxx and before Novak ESC). The truck was really what got me started in business, though it changes many times through the years, Emaxx parts and hopups and brushless setups were my core business for the 1st couple years in business.

You can run the 8mm CVDs in the 15mm knuckles with the use of 8x15x5 bearings. They are a little bit difficult to find, but they are out there...and you can run them until you find a set of 16mm knuckles. Or, some people have successfully milled the knuckles to 16mm, so if you have a local machine shop, you could go that route. Maybe Mike might do it for you, as I am sure he can do it right.

That's cool...and how glad we all are that you did decide to get into the business of what you are doing, heh!

SO, the VBS-T is not for sale?

But please post pics, I would like to see everything!!!

i have left you my email address on the first reply message, you can send them there or here if like. send pics of only what is for sale. it will teaz me to see the other stuff not for sale. lol. either that or you could send a link?? thanks

really, i didnt know they made that size of brg's?? the milling would probably be the best bet, because brgs are easy to find that size.

ya, post pics of all that is for sale only, you will teaze me with the other parts not for sale. either that or you could send a link. thanks

VXB.com sells 8x15x5 bearings, but they are $9.95 each...almost $80 for the 8 bearings you need.

You could also sleeve an Avid RC 8x14x5 bearing to make it fit in the 15mm hole, and those are only $1 each!

right on, i will check into it. that is alot of money for them 8x15x5 brgs wow!! not worth it.

Chad so did you ever get the chassis? I live in CA and actually went in person and saw the chassis. It looked to be in good shape, but I think there was one stripped hole. He told me he had no trans mount. He also had the VBS with the skids but I didn't like the way some of the holes were ob-longed. Over all I didn't have a good feeling about the seller. Seemed a little shady to me.


Doug

No, I have not gotten the chassis...

So, you actually know this guy, and have personally seen the chassis in real life?

Yes I saw in on Ebay and noticed he was local so called him up so I could see it in person. Like I said the overall chassis looked good but where the skids bolted into the VBS didn't look that good. I am just getting back into the hobby and wanted to see a VBS in person.

Doug

So you saw the VBS, not the chassis? I am confused...

hey bud, were you going to send those pics?? i left my email in the first quote. let me know thanks

Mike I'd buy any low profile towers you have for 100 bucks, since you said you like low towers, as I do.

Nothing to be confused about I said I saw the chassis and the vbs .

Doug

pictures
 

Here are a couple pictures of the emaxx and the Dace T-maxx with racerx suspension. The Emaxx also has the UE servo saver and 6mm UE cvds installed in it. The Lightning chassis is in great shape, but the braces have a few nicks and scratches from use. Overall condition is excellent.
The T-maxx has a UE fwd-only installed and has the original Racer-X suspension(15mm bearings) and UE shock set. The truck is in great shape, but has dirt on it from about 5 years ago(ythe last time it was raced), so it will need some clean-up. :)

Pretty sure I have a new pair of 7075 low profile shock towers here (Nova RC Hybrid towers that were initially developed for the Ofna dominator with the Prolin maxx suspension kit, which I also have). :)

Funny
 

Its funny how these things never seem to go out of style. Even though they are now in the catigory of nostalgic they are still in demand. Someone's going to get lucky.

You have an OFNA Dominator With proline bulks? WOW if I didn't have the HCR Mutant truggy maxx I'd want to see it and maybe buy if you were to sell. But you haven't said that and like I said I have a Mutant.

That sounds promising about the towers. Can we see more pictures? Do you have a few different kinds? I know Duh Engineering made a low profile set also out of titanium, GMaxx had a set, and two other companies I can't recall.

looks very nice, what is your prices??? and how would you want to do the deal?

Yes, I have an Ofna dominator with Proline bulks, aluminum Center diff and rear brake setup. I also has the Nova towers, UE shocks and racer x suspension(could be mixed UE/Integy, but I have "borrowed" parts from it) it also has a titanium extended chassis on it - it was my truggy before truggies existed. I probably have a Gmaxx tower set around as well as a Duh Engineering set if I looked real hard(Iknow I had a set at one time, but don't remember what happened to them). I have a set of Nova towers brand new - still in the bubble wrap, though. :)

allbloody - I hadn't really thought about selling the stuff until I saw this thread. I don't have any pricing in mind tbh but if the 'right price' comes along, then I will part with the stuff. Looking at the stuff I have is scary - if thee was more time in a day, I could rebuild some pretty badass retro rides. :)

mike, iam mainly interested in the dace tmaxx, does it have the vbs kits?? could you tell me alittle about it?? diff size? cvd size?, knuckles etc.. maybe we can work a deal. thanks steve

The Dace T-maxx has stock(original) T-maxx bulks, skids, diffs and drive shafts. It was a race truck, so items were upgraded for performance reasons only - if a part added weight without performance improvements, it isn't on this truck. The racer x suspension, UE forward only tranny mod, UE shocks and Dace chassis, along with aftermarket servos were installed onto an otherwise stock 2.5 T-maxx(1st edition from several years ago - the very 1st widemaxx T-maxx when the 2.5 engine was introduced).

oh i see, for some reason i was thinking you had a set of vbs's?? what are you looking to get for the dace chassis? keep in mind it is pretty much stock other than the chassis and shocks.

I do have a set of VBS on my G-maxx. They are not for sale, though. If you are interested in something in the pictures, feel free to make an offer via PM. I don't have a set price in mind for anything, but I don't plan on giving it away, either. The Dace truck has a lot of stock parts, but the upgrades it does have are high value. At the time, it had everything it needed to win, and nothing that it didn't need. :)

I am interested in the Duh Engineering Titanium Maxx Shock Towers...incoming PM!

Well, eBay Fraud Department is investigating...

so what are you thinking of for a price??

I have a set of proline bulks for maxx suspension on the dom too... That and 2 sets of aluminum diffs for the dom :party:

i did not know proline made bulkheads?? are they plastic? what are the aluminum diffs??

The bulks are blue annodized aluminum... can take pics if you would like... the diffs are also aluminum and very rare from what I am told... Can take pics of them too if you would like....

sure that would be fine. i would like to see what you have?
