Hey Rc Toy, I measured the chassis brace and got 7mm... regarding upgrades, I recently with some help from Zack got the 'Motherlode' suspension repair kit from UE and
rebuilt the shocks...I saw big improvement in dampening and balance of the truck during acceleration and deceleration... I also employed a set of RPM knuckles with 15mm bearings...
I have done an extensive test with them yet for me to give a feedback... I'll throw the truck around as soon as i get some time and you'll know how well it works out...

I am asking because I am thinking about custom braces and not sure if 0.190 (4.82mm) of 7075 T6 was enough

I am not so sure myself... that looks a question you would have to throw out in the General Discussion section...

Yeah, why not... lots of fun hearing the tyres on the asphalt when they spool up... I'm not so sure about the LED colour at full tilt... i'll check it for you when i get home...

It is not the colour, its the flashing. I am not sure if it should be solid or flash. If your is solid than I have got isues because mine just flash very fast.

It kinda sounds like you need to recalibrate the ESC. I believe that the Castle ESCs flash when you are only partial throttle and solid when full.

I just have to say this truck is one of the top five of all builds on RCM IMO. Just stunning looks, takes a beating and has the perfect motor/esc for the truck. And nobody has a truck just like it!

I wish I could afford building a good maxx, but I have to stick with trucks/buggies that don't need to much upgrades. One day, maybe....!

Wow... very kind words... thanks man... it's been in the 'family' for five years now i think... and it has go through quite a transformation.... hope to keep it for a little longer...
you don't need to spend too much too soon on a build like this... just take your time and acquire the parts you want and build slowly...


thanks again for the compliment....

Making a small update... I added some Losi sway bars this weekend... it was not the easiest mod so far, but i had fun doing it... didn't make any runs with the truck yet,
so I have no feedback regarding performance... the sway bars are also being used as 'limiters'... I had some issues with the shocks shafts popping out of the balls ends
whenever the truck had a rollover... see the below pics... I will make some more updates on this soon...
