EMaxx chassis

Got chassis braces designed, along with a center skid that accepts our universal motor mount - hopefully I can get them programmed and cut this week for more show and tell. :-)
I may do a chassis extension in the very near future, too - stock length is cool, but the custom guys will likely appreciate the extended length(haven't yet decided if I will do one or how much I will make the extension, but it crossed my mind). :-)

Driveshaft included?

[RC-Monster Mike]

If I don't include the shaft, I will relay the required dimensions. A center diff mounted in the universal mount on the RCM skid is compatible with the Traxxas center cvd length in the rear(diff is shorter than the tranny, so front is a little short). An extension used for another chassis would likely require a different length shaft(FLM chassis for instance, relocates the tranny).

This makes me wish I had a Maxx to build. I'm glad to see you making new products Mike!

Sweet 'n sexy chassis! Did I missed anything else? :)

A few new pictures, including chassis braces.

Love the slot around the topbearing of the servo saver

The mounting setup for the center diff is slotted to allow optimal dogbone fitment as well as accommodate various differential sizes. The truck in the picture is just a build dummy, so it has stock diffs. The skid locates the mount to accept the Traxxas rear steel center cvd with an aluminum front dogbone(85mm pin to pin is ideal length).

Very nice part, Mike. Nice pocketing.

[Mr E-Maxx]

Wow! I like it!

Maybe you can make a support brace for the end of the motor in the fornt of the car? I think it will help.

[RC-Monster Mike]

Thanks, Rene(Serum).
The motor doesn't really "need" rear support, and it wouldn't be super easy to implement, as it would have to adjust for gear mesh concurrently with the front of the motor on the mount upright. Personally, I think the complexity is not worth the benefit - the mount itself is quite rigid and, barring catastrophe or extreme abuse, won't need support at the rear of the motor to be effective.

[Mr E-Maxx]

Yes you are rigth. Your mount is pretty strong, but sometimes not the motor. But I see you point.

[RC-Monster Mike]

OK, with FLM Hybrid bulks and 1/8 diff, using the Slipperential diff in the center, dogbone lengths required are around 82-85mm pin to pin in the front and 107-110mm pin to pin out back(82mm and 110mm or 85mm and 107mm). Diffs do have slight variances in size, as do drive cups, but the skid is slotted to accommodate this.
