Super lite like less the 10 lbs! not UE SuperMaxx. Not special? Get out.

I was thinking of the other supermaxx parts... RacerX is what I meant, those are the good parts to use.

Yeah but I would what it to be practical also. Thinking of running like a 3000mah 35c 3s(11.1v) lipo battery and a 50-65mm long 3000-4000kv motor. Whats the very lightest Maxx chassis Electric or otherwise ever made? Would it be the UE pred or the DUH Blackbird or one of the GMaxxes? I know I've seen at least one +10 page mega-old yet high profile thread on here dedicated to the topic.

Well I've got this expensive truck now so I wanted it to not break so I could drive it. Because I already had bulks the FLM hybrids would put me around the same price. I've seen UE 8s go for $300 but you are right I've got it bad.

Your posts here are no longer needed here. JK. Really though have you ever seen a UE Razorback on the web?

But really I think I'm just dreaming about the low weight Maxx. It is never going to happen. The current Maxx project will likely never end. And then I've got the Savvy to civilize.

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.


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

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!

Yeah but sadly its just a dream for me. But I'm very happy with what I have now.
