Has anyone seen this? I might get a new chassis next month and I came across this-

For other chassis's I'm leaning towards the G4 over the FLM since it has the two decks. But what do yall think about this carbon fiber one.

I had the origianl emaxx version of that chassis . It looks great but it has a major flaw. It takes all the FR kick up out of the chassis & it effects the handling . I would recomend you not getting that chassis .

have you seen this one?looks nice...http://www.rcboca.com/carbon-fiber-c...x-2.5-3.3.html

^^ 1. Its for a T-maxx
2. It doesnt lower the center of gravity.

The X-treme racing chassis could be made to work, but you'd have to hack off the front end and use a normal skid with the correct kick-up angle- should be easy to do though as the holes are pre-drilled for the skid plate to mount in place, unless Im trippin' again....

I have that chassis for the original Emaxx as well and it kills the "Monster Truck" appeal of the Emaxx. There some body clearance issues as well, however, the newer Emaxx motors sit lower, so it shouldn't be as big of a problem.

Also note that the kick-up angle in the front is corrected when you tighten down the screws. Yes, the front of the chassis bends upwards once you have everything tightened down, but it looks fine. I kept waiting for a cracking noise, but it held up.

Honestly, I would only get this chassis if you are interested in making an Emaxx Truggy, Rally or some kind of Frankenstein 4WD SC truck. That has been my intention, but I have never finished.

Wow, 200 bucks... I would buy something else, like a few hours in the red light district.

Im not flaming ot anything . But there is no way the CF bends enough to make the FR kick the same as a stock emaxx. I had this chassis & it just does'nt do it .

You said takes "all" the fr kick up out of the chassis. I just grabbed my truck out of the garage and re-tightened all the screws. The front has kick up, I never said as much as the original Emaxx chassis since I am not switching it all back for comparison purposes, but there is kick up at the cost of the carbon fiber bending. I had the same concerns when I first un-boxed the chassis, I figured there was no way it was going to work, but it does bend and all the screw holes line up perfectly on the upper deck. I do not remember if it was the included instructions or some website, but I researched it before tightening everything down.

Not trying to start a flame war either, but I can take pictures if you want to see it. Just wanted to state what I experienced since I have used a version of the chassis before.

Fair enough . I just know when i had mine it was pretty darn flat up FR .

G4 for sure!
