what do you guys think i should do
OK i have one stock emaxx and a couple of hopups already collected for it here is what i have got in the picture. (note diffs are stock as well as knuckles and shock posts)
http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1167933745 I also have a long list of stuff still needed to complete it so it is race worthy and it wont break when i bash it here are the parts i still need for it. 1.) GorillaMaxx G2 graphite x-brace chassis $200 2.) GorillaMaxx G2 graphite chassis extension $45 3.) GorillaMaxx G3 XL battery straps $15 4.) GorillaMaxx G3 titanium hinge pin set $25 5.) GorillaMaxx G3 front skid plate $21 6.) Unlimited Engineering gen 4 steering assembly $85 7.) RD Logics Steering Blocks (Blue) $60 8.) RC Monster custom slipperiential with $160 9.) RC Monster cnc machine speed control heat sink $30 10.) RC Monster mod 1 pinion carbon steel 18T $12 11.) RC Monster motor heat sink XL size $35 12.) RC Monster ubec $40 13.) Full Force T-Maxx sealed bearing kit $37 14.) Proline 17mm Standard velocity wheels (White) $30 15.) Proline standard size crime fighter tires $62 16.) Proline team medium CA glue $7 17.) Traxxas revo slipper pressure plate $7 18.) Traxxas revo slipper clutch rebuild kit $7 19.) Traxxas revo spur gear 36T $3 20.) Unlimited Engineering 6mm CVDs 21.) Fast Lane Machine front and rear hybrid bulkheads $140 22.) Fast Lane Machine front and rear bulkhead brace $18 23.) HB diff set front and rear $125 24.) Atomic Racing Ford F-350 body with new school flames $35 25.) Feigao 540 7XL brushless motor $90 26.) Spectrum DX3.0 radio, receiver, and two servos $250 27.) Team Orion platinum 4800 liy-poly Batteries $300 28.) E-Cleck-Teck 40mm 5v fan (2) $6 29.) Super brain 989 Charger $140 30.) Associated black grease $7 31.) Associated 15k diff oil $4 32.) Associated 10k diff oil $4 This is a lot of stuff and comes to be alot of money if i had to guess it would be over 2 grand. Then i thought i could solve this problem buy using my money a buying the erevo converson from RC monster. it cost a lot less than than the maxx and i can use some parts that i already have like quark 125b, the punisher rods for the steering and rear knuckles, the 17mm hex hubs, and the screw kit. I can also use the other spare parts like the Flextek arms, FLM shock towers, wing and mount, and the integy shocks on my stock emaxx i have laying around. I also have some extra rims and tires sitting around with all this together all i will need to complete the revo is a motor (like a 7XL 90 bucks) body, radio, and batteries. and this all together will be much less than the emaxx project. Out of this i will achieve less price, better handling, a for sure running car, better reliability, excellent basher right out of the box with minimal upgrades(rpm arms and such), 2 running cars stock maxx with Flextek arms, integy shocks, wing, and shock towers and Brushless erevo all at about 1 third of the price of the all decked out revo, and this extra cash will allow me to spend more cash on other Brushless projects like Brushless 1/8 truggys and or buggys. What do you guys think. (By the way i have just enough money for the revo so if i did spend that on the max instead i would not even be able to complete a roller) |
Do the Revo! I been thinking about doing one myself
|
Revo :).
|
got 2 revos so far
-------------------- Revo 2 pts Maxx 0 pts |
I have a revo and a max. Love them both. But for the $$$ The revo is a awesome machine.
Just do the revo. How can you go wrong. PLus you get it sooner... Like now:018: |
I would go revo, then sell some of the maxx hop-ups you have (like flex tech arms and integy shocks) for more money to put into your revo...
Bye:018: |

Sounding like the revo wins by slaughter rule :D
But just to confuse things a little.... I cant think of anything prettier than a tricked out Maxx... (or more expensive) |
So let us know how the revo turns out!
|
Yeah i will have pics i pretty much decided before i posted this thread i just wanted to see what you guys think. but the pics will be a lot sooner than the maxxes would have that might have been a 2 year project this is a few months tops.(A Lot Cheaper

Clean out your PM box GorillaMaxx360..its full..I cant send you anything.
|
its good
|
why would you need the bearing kit? with tsais 3.3 cvds you also need 3.3 knuckles.
also, i agree with these guys that you should be doing a revo.:005: |
well let me know if your gonna sell any cool maxx stuff!!:005:
|
yeah, revo!
