I am a believer...and just ordered two sets of the UE steel CVDs and RacerX shocks. I'll let you know how they work with the FXT arms.

Well, I received some more parts for my latest build. I have the FXT arms and a FLM suspension arm brace. I should receive the rest of the suspension parts and drive shafts today....UE shocks and driveshafts.:028:

I appreciate all the good help you guys have provided.

Cool..!

What knuckles are you going to use?

05.02.2007, 02:46 PM

Nice brace! Looks better than mine! I didnt even know they made one for the Maxx's.

I went with the RPM knuckles with oversized bearings...I noticed that you have them on one of your rides. How do you like them? Alternatives?

I bought the white ones and will dye them green or red.

You can get them from FLM directly. $7 gets you two of them delivered.

You do need longer hingepins with them i pressume?

The timaxx i am building hasn't seen any track/road.. i was waitin for some parts, and now it's on the 3rd place of projects to finish.. Too bad..

The RPM knuckles are okay though, installing the retainer takes some patience. they are tight.

There are no alternatives IMO. i tried buggy knuckles, but no succes. Integy knuckles are not considered an alternative. UE doesn't make the right knuckles anymore.. The only possible neat option i can think of is using Revo 3.3 shafts with rd-racing knuckles . (not too expensive either, 99 for 4 of them)

how does the servo saver/steering bellcrank work with the chassis. my proline one binds and i want a better one but the ue one is always out of stock. do you know about when they will be back in stock or somewhere else i can get them.

Actually I used the hinge pins that came with the FLM hybrid bulks. Longer pins would have gotten in the way of the servo saver. However, I did have to grind/shave off the collar to the plastic FXT A-arm bushing...I just needed like .05mm to make the hinge pin fit and that did the trick.

I used integy knuckles on my 1st monster truck...that was the straw that broke the camel's back...I'll never buy their products again. I know golden horizon makes some, but I wanted oversized bearings.

The UE is better...than the proline...but I have the proline on my other truck is does fine.

I got tired of watching the web for the UE saver. I ordered one and followed up with a couple of emails to Robin at UE and he got me one! Apparently the small sealed bearings are what holds up the process...he has a hard time getting them in stock.

Since I am here using Mike's forum...and learning a lot...I am feeling guilty for not throwing some $$$ his way. When I am ready to make the motor/esc purchase I will go thru him. Any recomendations? I am looking for straight brute power and speed.:032:

Quark 125 and a neu get you in the powergame. 5S would be a blast. IMO. the UE saver is the best savers money can buy.

Thanks Serum...I noticed Mike also sells a heatsink for the 125. Does that heatsink mount to the ESC case...or do you disassemble? I assume you disassemble, but since I've never seen one or worked with one I have no idea.

Here are some shots of the build so far:
