UE, Billy Trucks, FLM, RCM

Come on guys, he makes a few valid points. But keep in mind these are toy car parts... If Robin wants to bitch, complain, or just speak his mind that is his prerogative. No one should try to call him out for that.

Sucks that other companies are stealing his designs, why not just make something better? It is easy to steal his look, and that is what the general populous are buying - lookalikes. So the people in the know will buy the genuine UE and the posers/dumbasses will buy the knock offs.

I do agree that this subject has been beaten to death. Lets get back to showcasing our projects and leave the BS for someone else on another forum. We seem to have a lack of builds here recently, so get creative guys!

I am currently building two BL Supermaxxes...

[1] Gorillamaxx G2 aluminum chassis with UE mono-block, UE VBS with Ti skids stuffed with Ofna 8-Spider diffs, custom center-diff & motor-mount (by me), Ofna 8-Spider CD, UE Racer-X suspension with real UE Setbacks and real UE single-shock Hi-Impacts, UE Racer-X shocks, UE 6mm Ti CVDs, DD wing-mount, MBX5T wing-stay, JConcepts Revo wing, Dace 23mm hex-adapters, JConcepts Rulux ½" off-set Half-Ups, Pro-Line MT Badlands, Pro-Line Crowd Pleazer 2.0 Revo 3.3 body, Tony's Screws, Acer Racing ceramic bearings, UE Ti pillow-balls, two Zippy Flightmax 30C 4S 2650mAh LiPos (14.8v @ 5300mAh & 159A), MMM/2200kV combo...I think that's it.

[2] Hardcore Racing Mutant Maxx titanium truggy conversion chassis, GA 7075 bulks and braces, Hardcore 2mm Ti skids, UE Ultralites stuffed with Ofna 8-Spider diffs, Mike's RCM GS Storm motor-mount, Ofna 8-Spider CD, UE Racer-X suspension with real UE Setbacks and real UE single-shock Hi-Impacts, UE Racer-X shocks, UE Knucklehead shock towers, UE 6mm steel CVDs, DD wing-mount, MBX5T wing-stay, XRAY 808 wing, Dace 23mm hex-adapters, JConcepts Rulux ½" off-set Half-Ups, Pro-Line LPR Bow-Ties, PROTOform HardDrive Revo 3.3 body, Tony's Screws, Acer Racing ceramic bearings, UE Ti pillow-balls, two Zippy Flightmax 30C 4S 2650mAh LiPos (14.8v @ 5300mAh & 159A), MMM/2200kV combo...I think that's it.

I will start a thread for each of them when the rest of my parts come in...

good luck. wait until you get it built exactly how you want it... then are afraid to run it the way it was designed to be run because of fear of unavailable parts that break.

trust me... i've been there.

that shock tower design is amazing clodmaxx. it is unlike anything out there but it looks like it is stronger than anything out there. I am starting to see why everybody thinks this comany is the holy grail of rc parts

I have already built a full-blown Supermaxx, just a nitro version (Thunder), and I beat the snot out of it! The UE stuff is so good that you really don't have to worry about breaking anything, within reason.

I will beat the snot out of these two Supermaxxes as well, because that's what they are being built for! If I break something, I will find a replacement, and thenbeat on it some more!

Here's pics of the nitro SM...

[ClodMaxx]

it's all metal - and metal bends, and wears down over time (and abuse). and i DID manage to bend and gouge the crap out of some arms, which i replaced with UE while parts were still available. for me, it was all about replacement availability. if i have a part that needs replacing, and that does happen with UE, i don't want to search the 4 corners of the earth for a replacement.

in the end i was offered $2,600 for just the roller from billy's trucks. that's about what i put into it, with a little profit. that's about the only time that can be done with r/c's, so UE has that going for it.

[Chadworkz]

I don't mind tracking down parts, in fact, I enjoy it...heh!

[gtxracer]

UE parts are hands down the toughest I've owned. I had two Supermaxxes, 1 was a Maxx hybrid back in the day. Those parts were expensive then too, but they were still the best on the market.

Robin, if you read this, I hope you're working on patents buddy. I know you'll still be releasing quality parts in the future so I'm not too worried about this.

[mkrusedc]

He has recently released monoblocks, racerX arms and high impact arms. Parts are becoming more plentiful.

There is a thread on UE of someone who broke those VBS towers. I would have a problem damaging a none replaceable $600 part.

...so I'll try the arms and if they get too messed up and I can't replace them I'll put RPM or Flexteks on...

Nice supermaxx. However, you are using the fake setback arms

[Chadworkz]

Yea, I know, heh...that's why I ordered 4 sets of genuine UE Setbacks and Hi-Impacts from the UE store Sunday night. UPS tracking says they will be here tomorrow.

[Chadworkz]

Box-o-parts came today: Setbacks, Hi-Impacts (single-shock), Ultralites, Monoblocks, 6mm stand-offs, VBS/Ultralite setup kits, Ti pillow-balls...full Racer-X should be here tomorrow. Once I find a VBS I will be set to finish both trucks.

[Chadworkz]

Haha, just know that I am never more than 10 feet from one of my pistols...
