That looks awesome! I really like it!

Edit #1: I REALLY like those spring-loaded body mounts...who made them and where did you get them?

Edit #2: How much wider are the Monster GT A-Arms than the Maxx A-Arms? Can you measure your Monster GT arms from end to end (just the arms) so I can compare that measurement to my Maxx arms? I would really appreciate it.

I don't have my MGT in front of me right now as I am over at a friend's house, so I can't help you with question two, but for question 1, those are stock MGT body mounts, he just added a spring between the mount and the tower, and put the pin that would normally go through the tower and the mount post through the mount post only, right below the tower. Basically the only extra part there would be the springs. It can be done with stock Maxx body mounts as well.

Not to jump the gun or anything here, but if you were considering using MGT arms on your Maxx, the uppers would have to be modded to work and even then I'm not sure if they would fit, and the lowers would also have to be modded. Both would require removing material around where the hinge pin goes through the arm on the uppers, and for the lowers you would have to remove the middle stub that sticks out from the arm for the hinge pin to go through, and I'm not sure if the outer stubs for the hinge pin are the right width to fit into a Maxx bulkhead. For the modifications needed, it probably wouldn't be worth it, if that is in fact what you were considering. I'm curious to know, is that what you wanted to do or were you just wondering if the lengths were different?
