s Dont mean to be a negater, Those are nice builds of Robins parts. Now you're going to fashion your own, no offence but those dont even look driven once. Dont mean to be mean as I love it, but have you even fired up the pletty/lighteneing yet ? What if it drives like turd is why they stopped makiing it.


(ready for fruit throwing)

I don't care if does! I'm a maxx maniac, have built about a dozen, and will build this one for speed and looks, with Nic Case's 140mph 1521 (yep, I'm a name dropper)

when you have a +$3g toy you keep it clean!!..VIDEO>>>>http://s302.photobucket.com/albums/n...=EMaxximum.flv

my RM250,raptor700,trx450R and all my other toys are in the same CLEAN like new condition!

I concurr. I drive my truck through mud and crap (damn dogs and seagulls), but I always clean it up afterwards- think of these trucks as trophy wives; they always look stunning and perfect, but that doesnt mean they arent 'goers'... :yes: :wink:

any updates? :whistle:

Happy almost New Year to you guys!......i am going to see/aprove the new prototype on Friday or Saturday!...then it will be less than a week for multiple chassis to be ready to ship!....I WILL HAVE PICS OF THE (new and improved)PROTO AND OF MY GUYS KILLER CNC SHOP!!

talk to yall soon,Matt in Atlanta

He does live! Thanks for the update.

Agreed. Different folks are in this hobby for very different reasons, and even the hobby itself is defined differently for each individual's tastes. Clearly there are those that love building and racing these trucks...there are also some who love bashing and running them until they break and then jerry rig them to run until they break again. Those reasons for being in this hobby and the way those folks have defined the fulfilment of their hobby needs are great...and naturally those aspects of the hobby require a specific set of RC knowledge and skills.

I have a couple of RTR "turds" that I bash the snot out of and don't really even clean or maintain them. It is fun. However, all of my $2K-$3K+ RCs (I currently have about five) are pretty much a continuous work in progress. For me the hobby is about trying to build the best RC I can...finding the best mixture of components for the best (as I have defined it) performance. Sure I run them...but you won't see them taking the big jumps at the track. The best part of the hobby for me is the building process...in particular building these types of custom trucks. I only wish I could airbrush and paint my own shells:whistle:.

Please sign me...I would like to buy one of these chassis. How do I get one?

Sent you a PM thanks.

baby steps!
 

custom slipper plate for my 8mm DirectDrive emaxx CHASSIS center drive shaft!!!
http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...s/image001.jpg....i found this in my junk email from my CNC guy!....i am also hoping to be able to go by the shop tomorrow and get some more pics of the chassis in producton!!...11 chassis are pre-sold!!...no money has changed hands,but,they have been spoken for:yes:

COOL EMAXX VIDEO>>>>>http://s302.photobucket.com/albums/n...=EMaxximum.flv

Cool...looking forward to it!

hey sssp...you can find tons of pics of the chassis in my photobucket album...follow the video link and check out the other pics!!...gope to have some fresh one tomorrow!!

Hey Matt, is your direct drive compatible with the existing Strobe slipper or do I need to get your 8mm ones too?

Hey Lito,
if the hole in the center of the strobe slipper is 8mm you can use it...but you will have to use my pressure plates!...the chassis comes complete with RR slipper,slipper pads and custom pressure plates!!:gasp:....i am using the smaller RR slipper(66-70 tooth only)...did this answer your ??

It's great to know that the 8mm slipper plates, pads, and slipper are included. That definitely answered my questions. I'll just keep the Strobes as spare for my other truck. Thank you.

On another note, can you pm me the cost of a separate slipper system because I might have to get one as spare so I don't have to worry about shipping.
