Project Super-VBS-CF-Gorillamaxx!!!

[Chadworkz]

I have gone over the eMaxxler chassis very well and it does not have any breaks, cracks or stress-fractures...it's Perfect! The only thing missing is the U-Clamp that holds down the steering servo, but I am milling an exact replacement for it.

The chassis is now Powder-Coated White, which looks really nice in Contrast with the Black Carbon-Fiber, Gold TiNi Spur-Gear & Titanium Driveshaft!

I haven't done anything with the chassis yet, because I'm waiting to find & buy another VBS or VBS-T, but I plan on building it up with some of the Rarer Parts like the UE Aluminum 16mm Widetrack Knuckles that I have, Widetrack Suspension with OG "Thin" Hi-Impact Lower A-Arms, 8mm All-Titanium CVDs, etc....plus I will be Powder-Coating and/or Anodizing all of the Aluminum & Titanium Parts in Contrasting Colors!

I also want one of the eMaxximums to build, so I can't wait until they are available!

P.S: Does anyone have a Blackbird they are willing to let go of?

There were originally some plates/parts made out of clear plastic or lexan that were an intriquet part of the chassis. These parts had been damaged by fatigue and even though it would not be terribly difficult to reproduce these parts, for the price being asked at that time I decided it would be better to steer clear of the sale. One would have to remake these parts with a more durable material in order to aviod the same fait. I am not sure exactly what parts those were because it has been a long time since I last saw the chassis, but I also do not remember seeing any carbon fiber on it at that time, so maybe one of the owners in the chain of people who have possessed this original vehicle replaced the damaged parts with carbon fiber. These weaknesses were exactly why a lot of negative comments have been made about the chassis to begin with. I am sure in an attempt to make the chassis as lite as humanly possible too much material was removed making the setup seceptable to failures. This was why Matt & Mike were trying to make it better and improve the overall look and performance of the original design.

What you have is surely a one off design that has a unique look to it, and probably some very cool handling features as well, but it has also already been proven to have weaknesses that are inherent to its design if put under any real pressure through racing or serious bashing. Maybe some of the replacement parts have removed these weaknesses making it a more durable setup. Whatever the case you still have something that no one else in the world has, making it a somewhat valuable collectable item. Congratulations.
