22 mm more would stretch me out a little bit more. I don't know if I need it though. It is a good idea. A simple one to. I think gmaxx should make another chassis with a longer middle. You could run 9cells flat then. You could change it between the long and extra long. I take what i can get.


Peace!

The G-maxx suspension has this feature built in as well. the front and rear lower and upper arms can be switched(turned over) to provide a longer wheelbase. Works beautifally!

Did you ever try the front extension mike? Just curious.
The gmaxx extension extends 30 mm. I have daul in mine at 60mm extended with them bottom arms it will be 82 mm longer than standard gmaxx.

On one of my g-maxxes, I run the stock chassis, but with the g-maxx suspension in the full extended position(similar to the extended chassis length). I didn't extend the front like you did, though.

Just thought I would ask. I designed a longer x brace on the emachine. It just would cost so much for two of them. I wanted to get them and a new bottom plate made for 9cells on each side flat. Was going to get the x brace chrome plated for some bling.

Its easier to make a longer upper plate for the extension, and a longer skid. Then, you could likely add a larger lower plate. Or you could just stack the extra cell on top!

I need to get a RacerX kit now. Although I already have 2" extra with my BPP Torpedo chassis.

I thought about these for my racebomb. But the chassis is already extended 2 inch's over stock, plus another inch, that would be 3 inches over a stock maxx. I may be wrong but on a racebomb or torpedo chassis that might be too much, i think the truck might turn like a brick. LOL!!!. But i could be wrong.

On ue forum Robin and Tom said it handled way better and gave much better turning radius. Ofcourse this depend's from truck to truck though.

I like them allot, only I think there will be allot of presure on the bulk's to keep it together.

The only thing I don't like is that body's don't look right. Even on my racebomb-length flamemaxx w/ extended F350 I don't like the gap between the rear wheels and body. But mayb other body's from other mt's would fit better?
