My Maxx Kicks Your Maxx's Ass Build - 01.06.2009, 08:45 PM

This is my 3906 E-Maxx build. It is based off the stock 3906 chassis, with a Medusa 36-80 Afterburner v2 2200Kv motor. That motor is about as overkill as it gets for a stock chassis based 3906, which is exactly why this build is called the "My Maxx Kicks Your Maxx's Ass" Build.

Since my Maxx already has tons of upgrade parts, I will start the build with some pictures and a description of my Maxx in its stock form, and then go down the timeline with the upgrades, until I get to it's current form and I will update from there.

So enjoy the build!

Disclaimer about the title...
~~~Yes I know the title of this build is totally not true, as there are trucks in the G-Maxx thread that are some of the most amazing Maxx's I have ever seen, but it sounded cool and gets peoples attention! ~~~

(I will have pics up of the very first upgrades that my Maxx ever received in just a bit.)

Red rag to a bull, is that title, but its gets peoples attention for the wrong reasons really- nothing wrong with titling the thread 'my maxx- before and after' etc etc.

Im affraid we'll have to cut off one of your fingers if it doesnt turn out half decent by our standards...

Depends on what your standards are.

It started like this, 100% stock with Tekno RC wingmount added



Then it got a custom skidplate, the very first custom part for it and the very first "upgrade" for it.

The next treatment was some custom "dual rate" springs


Then it got a "scale" touch, a hitch bumper made with extra parts from a Tamiya Clodbuster kit.

No, actually I bought the Maxx in September of 07 before the new Maxx came out, and I hardly ran it and it stayed totally stock until the middle of May of 2008, which is when I started upgrading it.

Do ya wanna hear something unpleasant? From what I've read in various places, GH parts arent much better than integy with regards to durability. Whether thats true for all users or just hardcore jumpers/bashers who abuse their trucks remains to be seen. Sure looks alot like integy stuff if nothing else- which finger are you least fond of Krawlin?...

We posted at the same time, have a look at the bottom of page 1 again for more pics incase you didn't see them.

And the GH parts held up quite well for me, I still use their shock towers, center braces, and aluminum steering setup. (Still have their bulks in the front of my Maxx because I haven't gotten around to putting the FLM hybrids in the front yet, but that will come soon, just wait for the pics.)

And I would rather keep all of my fingers if you dont mind...


More pics coming up in just a few minutes.
