Rules from the last time they held the event.....

Whats funny is that emaxx had buggy tires on the front, 2 wheel drive and ran a lamborghini body also. So whats really the difference. Neither one is really a monster truck anymore. As we all know foam tires are needed only way too achieve speeds in excess of 80mph. Unless you run taped and wraped phaltlines. The whole thing with the body is there is no real back or tailgate area its wide open, so I really dont think it will be a problem with the parachute effect.covering up the wheel wheel with clear packing tape might help.

Yes but the wheels are outside the body....the wheely king was not. It was just a plain touring car.

Well the rules for this years isc event are tires have to be outside the body. No specifics on tire size or type. I believe all the open wheel classes are put toghether to compete. The way I see it there is no specific mt class or buggy class , they are all merged into one.

The wheelie king was more or less a touring car with solid axles...

I attended that event and helped pit for our RCM representative (JohnnyMaxima) whom I still consider to be the true winner that day.

Johnny's truck was still EASILY identifiable as an E-Maxx (G-Maxx) when it went down the straight... The wheelie king looked no different than a TC4.

As for your body, you should look at the Pro-Line Hard Drive. It has pre-made depression which can be cut out in a way where you will have a ton of area for exhaust to escape from the inside of the body (reducing lift) but it does it in such a way where it doesn't destroy your aerodynamics.

Another way would be to just cut away the rear windshield of the body to help purge all the air.

It look like a G-maxx with a lambo body and small tires up front? IMHO neither one was still a MT anymore.At least the wheely king still had 4wd. I have my bodies now so I really dont need to buy anymore. It should also have that MT look except for the ride height.

Love the commentator in that video of John Crook's Emaxx!! I'm crying laughing....

Link?

Looking to get bullets connectors . Should I get 5.5mm or 6.5 seems like to me the 5.5 should handle way more amps than the trx conectors. I am looking at the hobbycity 5.5mm conectors 10 sets for ~$10 seem pretty good. Can anyone comment on the quality.

5.5 would be fine but 6.5 for a little more $$ wouldn't hurt.

Personal Opinon;
TRX plugs suck, I did some soldering for a friend the other day and he has the TRX plugs and they are garbage. Yes they have a nice sized plug thats easy to grip but thats it.

Rivermaxx, check those prices because last time I looked the 6.5mm connectors Hobbycity has were cheaper than the 5.5mm's....

The 6.5 are out of stock but I will check again. I am going to place a big order . Can you guys recomend anything? I am getting 2 6s 3300mah 30c batts. Some 10 guage black and red wire. Some 6mm and 10mm black wire shield. A Icharger 106b but I need to pick a good power supply for it. I need bullets also just need to figure which ones. OH yea shrink tubing also. Any recomendations? btw the 5.5 polymaxx bullets are $4.99 for 10 sets or pairs thats pretty cheap.

Supposedly the Zippy "H" packs are the best, They had 3300mah 6s in stock a few weeks ago.
Make sure the cheaper bullets that the female end doesn't spin inside it's self, a little solder will cure it.
HC has great prices on heatshrink, Not the best of qaulity but plenty good enough.
The 6mm might still be out of stock in black ?

The only issue is the zippy h's dont have enough c rating. the turnigys have 30c with 40 c @ 10 second burst, The zippys are 20-30 c . I might need that 198amp cotinues rating for the high speed setup. Heat shrink is out of stock and they dont sell 6.5 mm bullets just 6mm and 8mm. Will 5.5 work or are they too small? If I have too I will just buy castle 6.5 bullets.
