For shocks, I was thinking of using some LST shocks, until I realized that they are extremely longer than Maxx or 1/8's. I may still give this a shot, if I can make some lower mounting brackets to accept them.
The revo would be a tough one to make a chassis for. I'd want to make it like your emaxx setup with the bottom of the bulks boted to the chassis. Making this happen with the thin amount of material at the front and the bends required threw me for a loop too while contemplating it. Because some sort of upper deck would definitely be needed with such a thin strip of chassis at the front.

Good job so far on the maxx build though. The ofna lx diff is a bit of a blessing when using the maxx diffs because of its rather large 51t spur. I have one saved for just such a project myself.
