What about 40wt in the big bores and 80 in the supers?

Yeah Snoop I like my Supers and they are easy to find on the bay. Do you run all 8 shocks? 60wt right?

Man, after reading through this thread and Mark's thread over and over, I have to itch to build a maxx again.... Anyone have a 3905 Roller?


Zack: I'll be in Gulf Shores on Aug 13-17. I planned on bringing the Summit and the Rustler. I may have to throw a BL system in the Summit and some LPR tires and try it out over there at the Foley track. Looks like fun for sure!

Sounds like a plan man! I should be able to come down. Sadly no RC races to attend but they do race Go-Carts the 15th which should be fun to watch! I'll bring my Maxx and we'll throw it down. Just messin around on the track and whatnot. Any chance of you bringing James with ya? LOL

A well built Maxx should be in every hobby man's collection. Its the biggest vehicle ever to hit the scene. Changed everything.

I used to have a poorly built t-maxx pro .15. Does that count? LOL
Also had plenty of other maxxes...

Definitely agree! I bought my E-Maxx when they first came out. Narrow and slow. Then I added the Proline suspension kit which made the world of difference. Then came the 7-cell NiMh's and wow! The I added a BPP Torpedo chassis, no more wheelies. Then came a 9920/9L brushless, hello wheelies. Then I added aluminum, FLM bulks, UE diffs, UE EXT suspension, UE shocks, the works... Then I wanted a Revo, and I made a stupid deal that screwed me over!... And Now I wish I had it back....

Why did I ever sell it...

I think we've all made a deal or 2 like that. Here was mine- I had a RTR BL MBX4RR, and a ARR BL ultra GTP . I traded each vehicle for a MGT, as I was planning a MGT 8x8 project. Well when I got the 2 MGTs one needed parts, and one was a poorly converted ARR BL MGT with a KB45. I scrapped the 8x8 idea, and started a 6x6 instead, never got anywhere with it, just made it a RTR nitro with some spare parts and traded it for a savage x. FAIL

I still have my '01 3906

It wasn't until 4-5 month ago that I really started upgrading it
before that it was only tires/wheels and body changes

Ooh yeah and a ton of titans and gears

Nice! I wish I had kept mine. I could have made 3 more from all the spares and takeoff parts I had. I really screwed myself on that revo trade...


Has anyone used 8ight rear shocks on their Maxx. I'm trying to find a good deal on a 3905 and I want to try and use some 8ight-t rear shock on all 4 corners. Any thoughts? They should fit right?

I love my Maxxes! Well, they are Supermaxxes, but Maxxes none-the-less! :)

I've seen Losi 8 shocks they are a perfect size in terms of suspension action for using 4 but I probably need to cut a bit away from the arms so that they fit.



Does anybody know how durable a 4wd HPI Wheel King is? Its not for me but for a co-workers 7yr old son.

Thats what I was thinking as well on the 8ight shock. I may have to clearance the arms to fit them. We'll see once I get one.

The HPI WK is an excellent truck, and very durable, especially for a 7 year old kid...he will love the wheelies!
