might get but got questions
 
I might ask my dad for a G2 X-Brace Aluminum Chassis from Gorilla Maxx
will it extend the truck and make it a little longer??
I wanna keep my truck's stock wheelbase
will MIP Center CVD's for the E-maxx work with the g2 chassis??

if i get the g2 chassis
wut would be the best way to protect the underside from scratches??


I am also thinking of asking for the g3 susp kit
but i can only ask for one


likes about g2 chassis are My electronics wont be so clumped up like right now on my stock maxx chassis

dislike bout it is the batteries are exposed on the sides from dirt and rocks that are hitting the batts that are coming from the front tires



likes about the g3 race susp kit are that it has many option of shock setting and wanna set my maxx as low as possible and the lowered shock towers looks nice and i can lower my body

dislikes about the g3 race susp kit is its a lil bit too much? 279.99$$ and also if i get the g3 how am i gonna protect the underside from scratches ??

thnx

nobody want to help me dicide??

The g2 chassis will extend your truck but only about 1/4inch. The mip cvds work with the g2. As far as scratches go. The only way i know is don't drive it. lol Stay out the gravel helps.

I went with the RPM wear plates underneath to help protect a bit but you wont elimate scratches.

Shadow

I use associated chassis protection tape for the bottom of my cf gmaxx. It is a very very durable & sticky teflon type tape. It cost about $10.00 a sheet 1 sheet is more than enough for your truck.

thnx rchippie
ok now i need siggestion on which to ask for???
g2 chassis or g3 susp?

If you actually get one of them for free go for the chassis. More important and better handling imo.

Shadow350Z 07.28.2005 03:49 AM

k go for chassis
buh how do i protect my batts from rocks??

rchippie 07.28.2005 04:28 AM

Shadow i would get the chassis first. check my eairler repliy on how to protect the bottom of your chassis & batteries. You can also lower your body as far as possible to protact them on the sides. You can also extend the sides of the body if needed. Ask mike for the pics of my gmaxx it has the sides of the body extended to protect the batteries.


If you are running BL i would get the extended chassis.

thnx rchippie
ima ask for the chassis when my dad is in a good mood...
and thats rare

I have the G3 suspension and the G2 CF Ext Chassis.

Both are solid, extended chassis or not, and worth the money in my opinion.

I too have the RPM skid wear plates for front and rear protection however the main chassis is exposed. No matter what you do it's going to get dirty/nicked up unless you leave it on the work bence like a museum artifact.....;)

Ok here we go;

Battery Jig

Wire

Battery Bones

Solder

Soldering Iron

Deans

That's about it. I would recommand glueing the cell's together using a hot glue gun.

Make sure you have some flux, thats the most important part of soldering.

While we're at tower here...

Flux
