Tmaxx to BL Emaxx: on a Budget.

[SixShooter]

I know, another Emaxx thread LOL


My Emaxx will be built on a budget just for those folks who don't have 300.00 to shell out on a GMaxx chassis and another 300.00 on UL suspennion etc. Those trucks are nice but not everyone has that to spend on an RC truck. So I figured I would build a small afordable budget Emaxx that can take a beating and will be easy to work on. I'll list prats and price later on and see how cheap it actually comes out to. Just keep in mind half my parts aren't name brands so I may have trouble posting a manufacture's name. Now first off I started out with a pretty much stock Tmaxx with a new OS.18 motor. I stripped down the Tmaxx and sold a few parts to help off set my cost. I got 40.00 for the Tmaxx gear box and 105.00 for the Nitro motor. I still have a misc stack of parts left to sell.
