CHassis extension - 07.10.2015, 11:56 AM

Finished up the 35mm chassis extension last night. Hoping to finish the 50mm version today and get them post posted to the site and available for sale. The good news is that I was able to devise a relatively simple and modular design that allows for a super light weight, strong, and attractive design that complements the V-Maxx chassis nicely - and fit any Maxx that uses standard skids and bulks. I will likely also make a few skids to accept the UE VBS system as well, as I know the Maxx purists and collectors appreciate compatibility with the high end parts.

The 35mm extension adds less than 2oz to the weight of the truck!

By utilizing a modular skid-based design, the penalty for severe use is mitigated - after bashing to your heart's content, the skid will be the only real wear item, which will be available separately for under $20!

Some pics of the prototype installed onto a V-Maxx chassis. I tested the UE Lightning and stock chassis as well(fits either, though stock chassis needs minor dremel work to clear the top plate - not likely to see many stock chassis, though)
