By the way I forgot to answer your question about what R/C's I have. I started out with a stock E-Maxx three years ago, but quickly learned of the aftermarket parts available and moved on from there. I am not just a mechanic, but also a carpenter, so I believe in building things to out last me on this Earth. So I am really into the aluminum Maxx trucks. I built my first project from scratch with Integey hopups, and a HardCore aluminum tub chassis. I have a 4.5 HV Maxx in that one and it runs pretty well.
Then I built a second Maxx using various parts purchased on EBay. Then things really got complicated. I picked up an R/C lot sale from some guy who decided to get out of the hobby due to personal issues and he just needed the money. I won the final bit for over $2.5K worth of UE stuff for the sale price of just $750. It was a lucky find for me because I happenedto have the money on hand, and his loss was my gain. I am still working on that project now turning it into my high speed project. It is a UE "Lightning" chassis setup with all of the UE trimmings. I will post a thread on it later this year as I finish it and get ready to begin testing with it. I am hopeful for speeds of over 100mph with that one. It already has a double monoblock installed, with custom RCAlloys drive shafts. This thing is awesome. Then there is my RCM Maxx truck. I have all of the great RCM hybrid stuff in that one, and I am working on installing a V-twin Dewalt 18volt 970 motor setup in this one. So I have 4 SuperMaxx projects under construction right now, and I have the two plastic stock trucks which the boys are going to begin building very soon. So we are busy here at The Hill House, and 2009 is looking to be a good year for our R/C dreams. You will be seeing my projects on here soon as I plan to post up threads on each of them as then get completed. I hope that answers your question Sir.
