Somany things to do with little time .

Hey Lito yea I really like the way it all goes together and I cannot see myself breaking any of them in the near future. I even left the heads on one end so they only go in one way.

Thanks for the compliment dreamin, but please note that I am not trying to put anyone to shame here. Just trying to enjoy what we do, and share some of my efforts with everyone here on RCM, and at UE. It has taken me three years to get to where I am with the collection, and a lot of money spent as well. In just three years I have spent $15K to $20K just on this hobby. The funny thing is that in the three years I have been doing this I have only logged a few hours of actual driving time. This has been about the love of building for me. I am hooked on the craftsmanship that has gone into manufacturing all of the aftermarket parts that you and I get to use. I saw immediately that the Maxx line had more hopup parts then any vehicle out there, and I wanted to try everything out for myself. This hobby truly is fun for me, and soon I will get to enjoy the experience of driving them to. First I have to find my way through all of the electronics and get things rolling. Life is good 2009.

Thanks a bunch Jordan. We all have our own unique way of doing things. I am having a lot of fun working on the trucks that I have. The double monoblock is working out pretty cool for me. It was a fun Mod and I do believe it will yield me a better handling truck once it is put to the test. I am glad that you got to catch up with things. I will be posting up more soon.

"Keep on Truckin" was an ICON when I was a kid in the 60's & 70's, and thats just what I am doing. Well it is Wednesday night here in Korea and the RCM-Maxx is finally completed. I just finished making new turnbuckles and setting up the steering so everything is done mechanically. I will try to test it out this weekend and put up some pics as well. I am waiting on a new body for it, which should be here by Friday, and I want to post up some nice photos of the finished product.

This thing is a real monster. Most of it is RCM Maxx stuff like the chassis, hybrid diffs, and Extended suspension arms. I am running the Revo axles and carriers for now with Axial beadlocks wheels, and muslcher tires installed so I can play in the dirt with it. I have done the "Lito" hardened steel hinge pin Mod, the BrianG allen wrench Mod on the input shaft/gears, home made 5mm allthread turnbuckles, MSR8 shocks, twin Dewalt 970 motor Mod, Novak super duty XR ESC, all metal tranny gears, modded RR double disc slipper 65t with 48t stainless steel pinion gears. I am using the TRX radio for testing to make sure that everything is ok, before switching over to the Spectrum DX3R and 3100 receiver. I still have to mount the wing, and trim the new body as soon as it arrives and get it installed. I will go easy out of the gate and use some 7.4v Nm batteries and work my way up from there. This week should be interesting, and hopefully I will have some good news to report after having a little bit of fun finally(Bar any problems). Wish me luck.

Once this one is up and running I will be working on my UE SuperMaxx for the high speed project. 2009 is great.
