Well, I just don't like the chassis and components showing under the body, so I want the body all the way down onto the chassis, for a perfectly clean look...low CG is just a bonus.

Right slammed is only proper! Can't wait to see it RTR!

[Chadworkz]

Me either! It will be finished first, unless I find a VBS within a week to finish the Super-G-Maxx!

[Chadworkz]

Racer-X, bearings, and hinge-pins came today...so progress is moving quickly!

[Kcaz25]

Chad you really need to do something bout a/the build thread.

[Chadworkz]

Well...I am still collecting parts, so when I have them all, I will start a build thread for each truck.

Right now, all I need for the Super-G-Maxx is; VBS, UE 6mm steel CVDs, center drive shafts, UE diff outputs for my Ofna 8-spider diffs, Dace 23mm hex-adapters, and a body. Then, sometime after it is finished and running, I am going to replace the transmission (E-Maxx trans with Gorillamaxx single-speed conversion & OTB GenIII idler and 2nd gears) with a custom center-diff/motor-mount that I am going to make.

All I need for the Super-Mutant-Maxx is; UE Racer-X rear carriers & upper arms, UE 6mm Ti CVDs (Lito has a set for me, but he can't ship them until he comes back from deployment), Duh Engineering Ti shock towers & Ofna Ravager front shocks (for the slammed body), UE diff outputs for my Ofna 8-spider diffs, Dace 23mm hex-adapters, Boca full-ceramic bearings (races, balls, & spacers are all ceramic), and a body.

I think that's it.

Chad, I'll sell you the 6mm UE titanium cvds, 23mm Dace adapters,UE diff outputs for 8 spyder diffs, and center drive shafts and UE drive cups if you can wait until I return from deployment in September.

Lito, you are the man, sir...I really appreciate everything you have done for me, and I accept your latest offer. Is there any chance you have a full set of UE springs? Actually, do you have two sets of everything you listed, plus a set of real Supershocks?

Also, do you know what length center shafts the Gorillamaxx G2 chassis with UE Monoblock uses? I am REALLY hoping there are UE Ti center shafts that will work, because I absolutely love them!

Thanks for everything, man, and thanks for any help you can provide about the above questions...I really appreciate it.

Welp, add a third Supermaxx to my build sheet, except this one is going to be nitro! I haven't had a nitro truck since about 2007, so I decided to build another one, and I might as well make it a Supermaxx!

I just bought a like-new UE Thunder chassis kit about an hour ago, and am going to slap a new LRP ZR.30 X Competition engine (with shaft-start) on it, plus all of the other UE Supermaxx parts for it...minus VBS.

Here is how I am going to outfit it:
[1] UE Thunder chassis, braces, center skid, Ti driveshafts, BB motor mounts, servo mounts, tank mounts, fuel tank, and antenna mount.
[2] RC Solutions 1.075mm spring-steel F&R skids (lighter than 3mm aluminum, lighter & stronger than 2mm titanium)
[3] UE Ultralite diff cases
[4] Ofna 6-spider diffs with UE outputs
[5] Hardcore Racing F&R bulkheads
[6] Great Assembly (GA) bulkhead braces
[7] UE Knucklehead shock towers
[8] Ofna Ravager rear shocks (identical to Supershocks, just a little longer)
[9] UE 6mm shock stand-offs
[10] UE Racer-X suspension
[11] UE Racer-X Setback lower rear arms (real ones)
[12] UE Racer-X Hi-Impact lower front arms (real ones)
[13] UE 6mm steel CVD axles
[14] Dace Mfg. 23mm hex-adapters
[15] Lunsford Racing titanium hinge-pins
[16] UE GenIV servo-saver steering system
[17] UE Progressive/Dual-Rate shock springs
[18] UE titanium front turnbuckles
[19] Traxxas 2.5 black transmission
[21] OTB input, 1st & 2nd gears
[22] UE Super6 FOC gears
[23] UE 4-shoe clutch system
[24] Strobe slipper system
[25] CNR dual-disc brake kit
[26] JConcepts wing on MBX-5T wing-stay
[27] Diemaker Dave wing-mount
[28] JConcepts Rulux ½" off-set Half-Ups
[29] Pro-Line LPR Bow-Ties
[30] Pro-Line Crowd Pleaser Revo 3.3 body
[31] Tony's Screws
[32] Acer Ceramic bearings kit

I think that's all...

I love it, I really do. But the reason I said that you need to create a build thread(s) a few days ago was because even if this thread is long in the tooth its still not your thread or the place. Oh and UE is making 8mm CVDs again!!

[Chadworkz]

That's true, sorry to the OP...I will stop posting here.
