i would remove the rear bumper, and get a single speed for it, and go back to stock arms. the rpm are a good bit heavier since there nylon and not plastic.

The gorilla arms are aluminum and about the same as the stock but stronger. With 4 shocks it may be a touch lighter. I not sure if you need the 1/8 diffs for the weight you running.

Its only for the e-maxx, id stay with rpm, the flextec arms could result in weaker bulks , or other parts.


The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

I hope they make two different ones. you have to drill two holes in the bulkhead, for the G2R and it would be easier if they did it


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

If they build it to take the buggy diffs. I may have to go that route. If they don't. I won't. I may look into a g2r. I am scared to ripping the diffs out all the time.


Peace!
