Just got my chassis
 

Went and picked up my gorillamaxx chassis today from the local postal depot.

Thats was super quick delivery from mike, Thanks

Must say so far ive been very impressed with my gorillamaxx parts but the Chassis is just amazing ........ !

Can almost start realy builing my E-Maxx (built the chassis today) just need a few parts from UE.

Top marks to Mike and Gorillamaxx Once agian

You going to post some pics when done. I like the gmaxx chassis my self.

I like my gmaxx chassis also, but what i reall like is the fact that george ( gorilla maxx owner) holds his tolerences really tight. The quality is awsome.

the chassis are also pretty tough as well mine has been through a lot
did you get the carbonfiber or alluminum one

I brought the alloy,

I did notice how great a fit evry thing was, will go well with my G3 race suspension ect

The quality, fit and finish is what attracted me to Gorillamaxx a couple years ago and I have been working with George ever since. Top notch stuff! Glad you got everything quick, Richard.

gorillamaxx is awesome and the adjustability of the G3 suspension is great

Chassis and the g3 suspension. that sounds awesome. could you post a pic. I would like to see when finished. Should be a light weight truck. Could you get a weight when done to?

Yes, the chassis and g3 suspension are very well machined, just when putting it together make sure you take your time!

i have the g3 suspension and alluminum chassis with an HV maxx brushless(which i am not very proud of but it does well on a very small and tight indoor track that is ment for 1/12 scales)with 14 cells it weighs a little over 10 pounds

Yea No Probs,

I keep thinking of a Stock max just with all gorillmaxx Parts, i think that would be quite cool

I dont think it will be to light, its all alloy. Ive got evry single parts apart from A couple of stock slipper parts, CVD's, Diffs, Pillow Balls and servo saver. But UE are out of stock so it could be a while ...........

The parts ive put together (Chassis, K-Factory Aerial, Motor Mount, Extension Kit, 40mm Fan, Battery straps) all look great. Plus Got all other parts waiting (apart from those mentioned above). Started this truck without even a single screw from an E-Maxx

Thanks

Are you guys just talking about the chassis? Or the whole kit with suspension? Which is better?

I'm thinking of getting the G# racing suspension for 279.00, is this a good idea? Or just get the chassis?

Ooops, it's suppose to say G3....sorry guys, not enough coffee!!! Where's my wheelchair? lol

The chassis would be my first upgrade, if you can, get the g3 suspension, its very nice suspension, durable, and look very nice! And it will be alot ligher if you use only 4 shocks:)

thanks, i'll probably do it all at once. Would you suggest going carbon or aluminum?

Well, if you dont care about a little extra weight, the alum. is nice, but the carbon fiber looks soo sweet with a aluminum maxx.

thanks man....i think my list of things for going bl is getting hefty...lol....

the carbon fiber will look better and its lighter.
you will definately like the G3 suspension it is really nice.

I did get the G3 suspension, it is awesome! in a week or so, going to get the carbon fiber. will send pics once it's started, then when it's finished. I know this is a little late on this thread, but had to say it! Thanks for the advice guys!

I thought you had a FLM chassis?

I do, but not liking it so much. hard to mount the batts and it's causing interference i think cuz i can't go more thatn 20 feet! But my goal has always been the carbon fiber gorilla. Tried to go a cheaper route. no biggy i guess, the FLM will just go on my gorils emaxx...LOL, she gets allt he stuff i take off, pretty soon, i'll build a third!

Wow, I would never let a girl drive my trucks (even if it was built out of spares). My friend let his neighbor (girl) drive his T3 and she managed to totally destroy the front end in about 2 minutes of run time with a burnt out 17T Speed Gem!!! I mean, thats like a record lol...

I would hate to imagine what would happen with a Brushless E or G2R...
40mph + curb or very stationary object = ouch

When she wants, I let my wife drive all my trucks, including a mad mad fast BL 1/8 buggy and the wicked G3R on 5S. She's very carefull. I even leave her jump them.
But when I go out for RCing, and she joins me, I'll make sure to bring a ghetto rig, such as the Revoxx or the GMaxx of my son.


Neweuser, please share pics when you're done.

Yeah, i built her a stock emaxx to drive. She can't quite handle the speed yet. And you are right...speed + curd = OUCH! She is very careful with mine, but with her own, i think the curbs have magnets or something! I figured, if she has her own, she can't get mad at me for running rc and she can crash her own stuff. WE nick named her crash-n-smash!

crash-n-smash lol

Then again...I wouldn't mind letting a girl drive my Nitro Revo or T-Maxx in a field...I mean...how much damage can you do on a flat surface? lol

LOL@ ghetto rig....

WOT for over 20 seconds should be fun!:005: Internals would go.;)

Good point...maybe a controller with the same frequency in my pocket...everytime I get scared I turned it on and the failsafe activates hehe...

Now were talkin'!

that is too funny, kinda like a brake pedal on the oposite side of the car for sirst time drivers!
I have a question. i just got my suspension complete, but not sure how to mount the body mounts on the shock towers? any ideas? thanks!

Thats a easy one, where the flushed in holes are, (located beside each of the shock holes) are where you put them, once you put them in place use a button head screw to screw it through the post and than put a nut through it.

that sounds like one sweet truck, newuser!

Thanks. It's going to nice when, if I get it done! Still will need some small things later! When I get the chassis done, hopefully this weekend, I'll put some pics on so you guys can peep it. Couldn't have done it without all your help! KUDOS TO THE FORUM GUYS AND MIKE! I will also be at the Monster mash, coming from MN!

OK, so i mounted the body mounts, but it seems they are going to hit my upper a arms? Would you suggest cutting them down? or do i have the shock towers mounted backwards? Please help! thanks!

you have it mounted right. It is suggested to cut the body post to clear the upper a arms.

Thanks coolhand! Another question answered! PS, Happy b lated b day!
