Isn't that an old country song from Kenn Rogers

Nice-looking vid Matt. It's a lot nicer to actually see them running

I cant even speak of this truck, all that I put into my G4, im still not worthy

plettenbergs · 10.03.2008, 08:22 AM

hey Jordan(2nd best emaxx owner),the wheels are one-off prototype wheels...deep dish centerline style...i collect show trucks,wheels and bodies...my next video will be with the sickest lid i have...Hummer H2 with cool strobe light kit installed...this is my first BL emaxx and i will be selling off ALL my nitro stuff...too messy and hard to tune...i have run this truck through 4 10,ooomah runs without any issues( not even a loose bolt)

this truck will run full out for an HOUR on two Zippy 5s lipo's in parallel!

*my secret to getting on a private golf course is this:1)find a course in a subdivision,2)go out about 1 hour before dark,3)enter where golf cart path crossed street,4) act like you belong there,pose ass resident with "cute little boy",5)run truck on differant hole each time to avoid tipping off the Mexican greens cutter dudes of BL activity

Thats just a matter of opinion...

Thanks for the anwser, i didn't think UE did a run of those deep dish wheels, the only other set i've seen are the deep starr wheels. That extra offset really looks like it keeps the truck planted

P.S I don't understand how your truck weighs 12lbs, where mine weighs 14lbs

Nice vid!! Looks like the wing is pulling dbl duty as a wheelie bar! Bet if you took the wing off you could do a full flip by punching it!

Hope mine turns out as well, I'm waiting (patiently) on CC to iron out all the MMM probs - planning on using that to run a BigMaxximum. Thanks to you, Matt, mine is off to a great start! My brother is a builder in Lilburn, not that far away, maybe when....

i can take to my top secret Golf Course!
Duster you probably have one of these already!
ebay has a chassis like mine for sale NOW!!...http://cgi.ebay.com/UE-Supermaxx-Lig...QQcmdZViewItem

FYI:i know the guy selling and he is legit...VERY reliable!...these chassis do not come around very often!...get the chassis for $650 and spend about another $2500 and you can have the Ultimate Emaxx!
well then you have to polish every DAMN piece till your fingers split and bleed!!...i still have night mares from that

At least his buy it now price is $650. After seeing several of them sell for $800plus you know these are in demand and hard to get. If you are at all interested grab it while you can. The Lightning chassis is the best EMaxx setup there is.

It was the best during its time especially when Lipo is not yet the mainstream. It sits the truck so high making it prone to rollovers.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice but with another chassis like the gorillamaxx , the rest of parts (UE suspension, GEnIV servo saver, other UE doodads) can be added making it as nice while lowering the center of gravity making it less prone to rollovers which turns to faster cornering speeds.

Matt, I got mine from you a while back, with towered UE VBS, all nicely polished and everything. I know Scott - my paypal acct knows him only too well, lol. I'm getting there, just disappointed about the MMM - had planned on running that, but looks like its going to be a while longer before they get it figured out.

plettenbergs · 10.05.2008, 10:53 PM

try Schulze 18.97kmf....it is perfect match for BigMaXXimum!

plettenbergs · 10.12.2008, 08:45 PM

i am running 66/18 spur and pinion...runs cool with body off,but hits temp of 150 with shell on wich causes esc temp protect to kick in!...should i add a fan or change gear ratio!...i am running Ultramaxxed gears with UE spider8 diff gears!(the best of the best)....i like my top speed and wheelies...did a full back flip earlier today!that was kick-assss!...ANY IDEAS?SUGGESTIONS?
