My man, that would indeed be a really cool idea. Take that Emaxx tranny, lock it in 2nd, bolt it onto the Supermaxx chassis (may require some minor modding, might not- you'll soon see), add some good battery straps/trays etc, and that'll be pretty much it. I did see the second max for sale a few weeks back & wondered who bought it in the end; now I know! The only issue really will be that the Supermaxx diffs will make the truck run backwards (emaxx diffs are set up to rotate in the opposite direction when you aplly throttle), so you will either need to flip the diffs, or mount the whole tranny backwards- either way is fine but the HvMaxx cannot be run in reverse like an XL etc. Check the centre shafts are the right length too, but they are easily tweaked.I think those are the only points to consider really, then you can flogg all the unwanted supermaxx bits like the engine, fuel tank etc, and sell the other emaxx as a roller. That should get you back at least $200-300 dollars.

Q. Can I/we get some pics of those Supermaxx diffs- they appear to be square which is very odd....

Edit: dont use those weird metal tower things- people tell me that they are designed to restrict the suspension travel, which leads to broken A-arms if you do any sort of jumping. Get a centre skid too, and sell the horrid blue body which is too long- yuk.
