I vote polish...

I prefer not polished, to keep the cost down, and I drive the crap outta my trucks so it will get scratched. It could possibly be an option for more money??

Also- You said you had the mgt rr slipper. Is it too large or will it bolt up? With the power people will put on these chassis' the mod1 mgt spur will be much more reliable than the 32pitch maxx spur.

I'll take a VBS clip too just in case I get crazy enough in bolting my VBS for bashing :).

Unpolish for me since it will be seeing dirt a lot. Good thing I have 2 extra GenIV servo saver :party::party:.

Harold...the MGT spur will bolt up!!...i think the center diamiter of the MGT slipper is 8mm just like the E/T maxx slipper!!....i am making them all the same to keep it simple!!....the slipper disc,pads and spur are stock RR...i just had to make custom pressure plates because the shaft has a large pin through it kind of like a CVD or dog bone to keep the slipper in place!!

Awesome!!!!! Hear that guys? The mgt RR slipper fits. Mod1 Gearing! (sure are glad you sold me the mgt rr slipper aren't you Linc):lol::lol:

:na:

I agree.
 

I agree with you SSSconcepts about building the ultimate rigs. I have not raced a lick yet with any of my Maxx trucks, but some day I will be tearing up the tracks. In teh mean time I am having a blast just researching and building these things. Some say that the Maxx design is out of touch and outdated, but I think the engineering is one of the best made R/C vehicles, and especially with all of the aftermarket upgrades and specialty parts that you can get for them.

Matt thank you for trying to think of everything with these chassis that you are reproducing for us. I know that I am grateful for your efforts on our behalf. Having the custom slipper plates along with the mods that you are making is just awesome for an already incredible setup. I am looking forward to getting mine and building it up for another high speed project, and I haven't even finished the first one yet (my SuperMaxx).:lol: Anyway thanks for doing this and keeping us up to date on the progress. These are boing to be incredible toys and on a limited production run. Way to go Matt.:yes:

servo mount
 

hi alll...very nice truck. just an observation from an engineer, why make that clamp? you are putting the stress on the servo casing where it is not designed to mount on. why not just get a 5-6mm thick oblong of ally10-15mm bigger all round than the total size of the servo, mount that using the screws that are allready there (they may need to be longer) then cut out the centre of the oblong to the correct shape of the servo using the correct mounting holes. :yes:
i would gladly machine that out on my mill but i live in uk so bit far away :lol:

the BS clamp has been eliminated....i totally redesigned the steering servo mounting position!!....it will fasten to the chassis with the normal 4 screws!!!...thanks,GOOD POINT!!...i was looking for a new clamp before i decided to produce the chassis!!:mdr:

Hey Plett...got a status report for us?

i called Saturday!...Hey promised my project was to be the next project out the door "no matter what"...he was finishing a 500 unit order for a small custom sub machine gun part!!!...it paid very well and he couldn't pass up the work...WHAT EVER!!

the first 12 are sold and i am taking names for the second run!!!:whistle:

Great news.
 

Thats great news Matt. Even though you are a first time CNC custom Maxx producer/reproducer you are doing better than some of the major players as far as timing and customer service goes. We are all (first 12) looking forward to making this purchase and begining our next projects/builds. I have some special equipment set a-side just for this one Maxler build. Since you did some custom changes on this one what are you going to name your new one off kit? Matt's Shark Maxx?? Anyway thanks for the update and for the special support you are providing to us. I for one personally look forward to build this truck and getting some great performance out of it. Way to go Matt.

Matt, did you extend out the battery area too? I'm too lazy to re-read the whole thread.

yes...1/2" on each side...total 1 inch wider

That's really nice!!!!!!
