revopqrs · 12:08 PM

edit: great i misspelled gorilla in the title... sorry guys!! i cant fix it.

i was wondering if these parts will come back in stock? im wanting to build up a emaxx with these cool parts, but they seem to be outta stock everywhere, are the discontinued or something?
g3 suspension, g2 chassis... i did find the chassis in the aluminum version, but i prefer the cf.:004:
im new to the emaxx so any advise on parts is welcome... i know nothin about this truck. what should i get?
lookin to build this if possible?:032:

Gmaxx stuff is awesome. I have got quite a few things from them. They are nicely machined and racer intended.

What are you planning on using your truck for?

Keep in mind - if you are going to be using lipos - the aluminum chassis has a lip that helps keep the batts from sliding off the chassis plate - the carbon fibre one does not - just something to keep in mind.... Good luck

I fixed the title for you.
Welcome to the forum to.
If you go cf and lipo. You can pu like ae cups on it to help with battery sliding out.

Welcome revopqrs, glad to see you have found electric. I have watched many of your videos and look foreward to seeing what you can do with a brushless setup.

hey thanks for the welcome fellas!! nice to know my vids have been seen.:027:

i am kinda thinkin about the aluminum set up now, im mainly gonna be on a track, but our track is gnarly!!:028:

i havnt gotten the emaxx yet, im trading my old paintball stuff for it, so i should have it in a week or so. ive never even really looked at one before...:eek: but i gotta have the gorilla maxx set up... ohh its sweet lookin!:004:
i hope its up to the task? our big jump puts ya about 15' in the air and probably 30'+ long, bigger for buggies!!. flat landing of course...:020:

heres a recent good one for those who would like to see where we run, this is our private track.:030:
were kinda rough on our toys... im running my jammin FTE.

so will the GM stuff hold up for me? i wanna whoop the revo guys with it!!(they arent the best drivers so i think it should be doable!):eek:

if ya wanna see more of our vids just click on "more from user" on the right side of the google video page.

do ya think i should run rpm arms instead of aluminum since itll be getting beat up pretty good? the chassis should hold up fine i would assume?

Not sure about the GM stuff, but you might want to look into the Gorilla revo conversion. It would be funny to beat them with an electric revo

Yea. A G2R is the best racer, but the E-Maxx is second...I think as far as chassis go, the GM all the way. The G3 is awesome, but there is rumor of a G4 soon...I personally like the UE Racer-X...

ooooooh! you some inside

You can use the carbon fiber with Lipo, I took the square foams that pop out and put them on the bottom of the lipo battery. Works great! The inserts go directly into the holes. This keeps them from sliding.

the g-maxx stuff is strong but i would not depend my life on it many people have not bent any part of the g-maxx arms and others have totally bet them back wards. It all depends on the amount of mula you want to put into it. RPM is great if your on a slightly cheaper budget and you dint mined not having the bling of aluminum. But aluminum is more rigid has bling but has the chance to bend. What i have for my maxx is the ebst of both worlds but it is very expensive route i have Flextek arms these are flexible titanium that are 48 times stronger than plastic and very rigid, they are about the same weight as the stock arms they look sick but the only downside is they are not shinny they have a kind of titanium color hearers a linkwww.flextekrc.com

Most people use gorilla chassis and love them. Also the arms are good, but the UE is better. Flextek is ok, but they flex and cause hinge pins to bend from what I hear.

you are right but the gmaxx arms have bent before- go ultimate engineering
