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)

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:

cemetery gates 01.05.2007 12:17 AM

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)

bdebde 01.05.2007 01:18 AM

So let us know how the revo turns out!

GorillaMaxx360 01.05.2007 02:06 AM

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.

GorillaMaxx360 01.05.2007 02:18 AM

its good

jollyjumper 01.05.2007 04:10 AM

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:

revopqrs 01.05.2007 11:48 AM

well let me know if your gonna sell any cool maxx stuff!!:005:

Mike.L 01.05.2007 12:07 PM
