g-4 maxx= 15% lighter + tit flex arms Ti 20% lighter, UE diffs 70% heavier, im under 10 lbs dry no lipos or tires 12+ loaded

Yeah we Maxx builders are pathetic. *Cough* Mark! We are never ever done! Except perhaps Jordan's build and a hand full of others like some of Mikak's where they is no way to spend anymore money!! One thing I haven't seen is a BL Razorback! That would be stupid.

Nice truck! Jayjay! Yeah mine is fairly low weight at 11lbs running. Really one of the few things I wait is a full(yet 4 shocks) setbacked highimpact RacerX with the 8mm CVDs. I think I have a slightly tweaked stub axles thingy.

I'm not much of a Emaxx fan anymore after buying my first Truggy but I have to give credit where it's due. That's a nice Race application for a Maxx.

Back in the day, all the UE guys who raced the small-block Maxx class were building LRMs (Lite-Race-Maxxes), which were sub-7lb RTR nitro Maxxes...using the Predator chassis and the either the Pro-Line Wide-Maxx suspension or stock Traxxas 2.5 suspension, with plastic bulks and everything else.

I am sure, though, that you could get a brushless Maxx just as light by using the carbon-fiber Gorillamaxx chassis and other well chosen parts.

Yeah that is one of the trucks I remember seeing/ Reading about! You know I really miss Serum! He's said he doesn't come here very often anymore because BL is so mainstream right now... why doesn't he do make some practical outrunner builds. One of those not yet released higher KV(1100kv I think) CC outrunners would be sweet!

I figured. Thanx man!

Are there any 23mm rims that are offset that fit Maxx size tires wheels not 40 series. I'm asking because the ones I have now seen above don't fit the badlands very well. The badlands slump over to one side and stay that way (until the turn back the other way) espcially when turning at speed.

Thanx guys!
-Zack

Not sure if these are standard or 1/2" offset but the price is to cheap to pass up.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Pro-Line-23mm-Ve...lenotsupported

This seller has THE BEST Prices on wheels and tires on the Net ! I bought 5 sets a couple months ago and now there even cheaper ?!
