FLM bulks either hybrids(used for 1/8 scale diffs) or combos(used for standard diffs), the gmaxx suspension kit, gmaxx chassis, gmaxx skids, rd logics bumpers, and rd logics shock tower posts(though i dont recommend metal bumbers or shock posts the bend and create stress points in other areas). that will give you an exact replica of what you ahve there only using gmaxx stuff and other brands for better strenght. I have heard the the Company that makes the combp in the picture presses the metal not machines it this means it is not strong it breaks so stay away from it. Heres some links. Gorillamaxx stuff FLM Bulks on this page and the rd logis stuff is here and here.

First off, DO NOT GET THE RD LOGICS ANYTHING. Basically, with the link that you sent, to complete it, a nice set of hybrids or combos would be good. get some good diffs (HB or UE), FLM A arms would be nice, FLM shock Towers. stay away from aluminum bumpers all together unless you are building a shelf queen. The link you sent is just a chassis, so there is much you need to make it complete. Make a list and we can check it twice :)

I second the RD LOGICS, their stuff bends and breaks to easily.

GorillaMaxx360 01.03.2007 05:36 PM

so are you guys saying the rd logic steering knuckles will break easly on my maxx. Then should the integy ones work.

Integy are no better, they are basically the same. Get the hard core or RPM, UE

GorillaMaxx360 01.03.2007 05:44 PM

but for steering purposes the steering knuckles will not break becasue there is not much stress on them any way right. what about plastic stock knuckles should they hold or do they have to much flex.

neweuser 01.03.2007 05:49 PM

to each their own i guess.

GorillaMaxx360 01.03.2007 10:53 PM

would the plastic steering knuckles work with a nonnotacable flex because i have 12 extra ones laying around and i don't mide replacing them if they break. so i just want to know if the stock arms are just weak and liable to break or there is actually a flexibility issue.

Sylvester 01.03.2007 11:08 PM

You can try them out, but RPM would be alot better..

GorillaMaxx360 01.04.2007 01:36 AM

should there be notacable flex in the stockers enough to decrease performance.

Sylvester 01.04.2007 10:01 PM

They wont flex enough to be noticed.

GorillaMaxx360 01.04.2007 10:10 PM

ok thanks.
