The powerstrokes won't be that much, so you will save a little there. I will try to get thgis stuff into the sotre soon, but if you have an item in mind and don't see it in the store, simply ask. I may have or be able to get it quickly. I have all those items in stock.

hmmmm. are you going to be using the stock tranny?

RC-Monster Mike · 02.27.2005, 07:16 PM

I don't have a date for the komodos. i am at the mercy of my distributor! Hopefully soon!

Toby, I forgot to list turnbuckles and turnbuckle ends in the list. Besides that, you will need a transmission, steering linkage, steering servo, servo saver and the radio equipment. That should be about it, besides the batteries, charger and tools to work on the truck.

Yes! Once they come in i will be the first to buy them :)

that sounds ok so far.

Mike, the cvd's i ordered will cover the 4 spots near the wheels, but what should i use for the center ?

RC-Monster Mike · 02.27.2005, 08:41 PM

Sylvester,
Did you get the extension kit for the chassis? If not, I would recommend it. If you go with a high power set-up, the Unlimited Engineering center shafts will work perfectly (they have a stock size and an extended size - stock size for the stock maxx or g-maxx without the extension, the ext. kit for the g-maxx and extension kit.) They don't ship International, though. Let me know and I will get some for you.

Toby,
Your list is pretty complete. You will also need spider gears for the diffs (need two, as well as two sets of cvds and two sets of knuckles). Then, you need a transmission, some rod ends (for the turnbuckles). Of course, you need a motor/controller, servos and a radio system(transmitter and receiver). I have pretty much all of this stuff, although I haven't gotten the chance to put some of it on the site yet.

post what wouold be best for me please mike

Sylvester · 02.27.2005, 08:44 PM

Dear Mike, i think i will stick without the ext kit, but could you get me the stock size center shaft? It would be greatly appreciated.

RC-Monster Mike · 02.27.2005, 08:49 PM

Consider it done! Actually, I happen to have a set in stock! I try to keep a few of these around for my International customers, because UE doesn't ship International. I pay full retail for them (haven't been approved as a dealer yet for UE), but at least my International customers have an option to get them.
