To lengthen or not to lengthen? - 11.24.2006, 09:05 PM

I am stuck between getting the extended chassis or the regular. Do the Maxx sized bodies look fine when it is extened and the pede is widened? I dont want it to look like a over sized body on my pede.

The FLM stuff is just about as strong as it gets. With the warranty they have, you can't beat it...

The extension is nice. I think the maxx size bodies look better.
The arm extended or not is another story. It makes a wider truck for less
roll over. But don't work with the cvds out. Some one was making a set for it.


Peace!

What do you guys think about the FLM kit that they sell here on RCM, with mamba max 5700? I think that is what I am gonna go with.

I think you should be fine with that set up if you're putting it in a pede

the normal cvd's for the stampede do work witht the extended arms. and there is a dogbone conversion for the extended arms aswell. for the cvd's u need the white washer that comes with them. this isent from personal experience but the guys over at rcbros.com have got the cvd's to work and they also have a nice dogbone conversion for the extended arms and it looks real nice. i think i might have to try it out when i get my extended arms.:004:
