Why not bring another gmaxx to life?

Looks good so far! That line does still have a very sweet spot not only here but all through the rc community.

If that was my truck..

1. Upgrade MMP to a larger esc due to sheer weight of the truck or at least use an external BEC
2. Find out for the owner of RCM, Mike if he is still making the hybrid bulks for this truck. It uses 1/8 gears and make a bomb proof diff set up.
3. Ditch the 8 shocks for 4. Stock shocks are not that good and will leak shortly. Find a bigger bore that will fit...much simpler
4. Mono block as you mentioned....they pop up from time to time on the UE site so check their often
5. AL towers for strength
6. AL carriers maybe

Other than that it is purely cosmetic stuff and how much bling and $ you want to drop into it.

Thanks magman, I am regretting selling my spare MMM now...but surprisingly the little MMpro is doing OK for now! Yes new shocks are close to the top of the list of things still needed as well.

Any suggestions on some decent shocks? I need to measure these stock ones, but I'll bet some 1/8 buggy fronts would work. It seems though, that since the shock goes through the a-arms that there is a limited selection of big bores to choose from, maybe I'm wrong?

I'll get to researching, as I'm sure this has been addressed a million times already by now

That MMPro has got to go! Unless you are geared super low (35mph or less) that is too much load.

Ofna front buggy shocks are the most popular 4 shock upgrade.

Traxxas "Big Bore" shocks work well, all 8 for about $65.

My main concern would be diffs and tranny gears, that power will rip through them in no time.

Thanks for sharing your G-Maxx. I love me some Maxx trucks!
