I just don't like how the current conversions are and I had an idea stuck in my head for a few years now. I just didn't have the right program to get a drawing done. I found one and I went to work. They came out just right after some input from Mike. BTW my longest chassis will be the same length as you XTM.

On that XTM MMT maybe you could use a front and/or rear wing configuration to give you more down force for better control in the quest for high speeds. It may give you just a couple of mph, but it may be just the thing to help. Something like the Baja 5B wing might fit the bill. I love what your doing though. When that truck first came out I knew it would be good for something. It is a little bigger than the EMaxx, but it is built tough right out of the box. Great work with your project. Anything new????

The XTM MMT is the longest wheelbase 1/8th truck out there. Its even longer then the big CEN GST 7.7 which has a 15.6" wheelbase. The MMT is 16.5". This thing is BIG....and absolutely dwarfs my emaxx.

I have 4 EMaxx trucks, two of which are SuperMaxx (UE & FLM) trucks with extended chassis and UE Mono blocks installed making the wheel base approx16.5 inches. So my SuperMaxx's have the same wheel base as the MMT. It has 3 inches over the stock E-Maxx setup. Yes it is much beefier for sure. So yes we all konw the size of the XTM MMT. No one is questioning that fact. What I was writing about was the aerodynamics of the XTM MMT truck trying to run high speed passes, and needing some kind of down force to keep it on the ground for better handling. So installing a wing and maybe some kind of front spoiler may help with that issue as stated earlier. Plus the materials used in the XTM MMT make it a great buy for an out of the box RTR vehicle. It is by far more superior than an EMaxx for what you get in the box at the MSRP.

My aerodynamic problems are coming from the front end. The bumper is big and has alot of frontal area. I'm going to swap to the XLB bumper and hopefully reduce that front end area some.
