You could in theory use another monoblock at the rear. FLM savy is about 17" I think- fecking huge.
Awesome looking machine man.

I just weighed it with the new mods, thanks for reminding me lol.. It weighed 10.4lbs without lipo and 11.6lbs with 5s. (Neu 2d/MMM/1 servo) The gmaxx chassis weighs 15% less than stock and the Flextek Ti arms are light, UE alum is lightweight (not the spider 8s pretty heavy). If I got lightweight wheels i may be able to knock another 3/4 lb off. Not a bad weight considering it weighted 13lbs before I gmaxx and UE'd it up.

What are the dimensions of those 5S Batteries? I haven't been able to locate that info myself.

Looks to be about the largest that will comfortably fit.

I'm just wondering how wide and how long a battery this chassis will accept.

Great Looking Build!

The stats on the 5s Neu lower link are pretty close, but you have to consider wire placement is at 1 edge and takes up some space. My calipers measure the sides (width) at 46.76. just less then the site claims, my calipers only go up to 150mm so i cant measure the length, But id say its about right but maybe need to add 2mm (over the 165mm) if you are fitting it in a tray. No problem for the gmaxx4 chassis it could be 5mm wider and 15mm longer. If you have a specific battery of want me to measure the tray more I can. I have a thread on traxxas.com under jayjay283 title g4maxx that I did pretty specific measurements for a dude. (banned from there so cant link you lol)

Sweat builds for sure... Love the Lipo's... those cost almost as much as the chassis itself..

So where's the video (??)

Have a great one and very cool sir...

I wrapped them 2 times in gorilla tape, most recommend 1.4 times. A tad heavy, havent weighed them but no heavier than stock maxx maxx tires im sure. Stick like glue to concrete 4wd and them in grass no issue, Simply the finest Ive run and if ive you've seem my garage picture I have them all (mostly)


just make sure they are the RACE terrarizers they make terrarizers that arent race and suck, high wall floppy things
