Gonna need a long body. Maybe the Xtm Mammoth>? I got the Proline F-650 but I do not have Set-backs.

It is 41.5 cm stub axle to stub axle.

All good things come to those who wait. I finally found a Titanum skid plate. I wanted 3mm but I figure I had better grab the 2 mm while I had the chance.




Next is 6s power. I think my 5s Neu is shot. It did not suvive the hiatus.

I was beginning to think you had died Mark.....

Good to see you back! Truck is looking nice. I sold off my 3mm ti skids several years back and realized I let them go too cheap.

Good to see you back. Hobbyking has some 3s hardcase packs, do one on each side and keep things balanced! http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=14085

Looks great Mark!! I knew it would be awesome!

The funniest thing happened to me I'm broke and getting married while in undergrad!! I wish I had never heard about the hobby!! I love my Maxx, but it would be so incredible to have $4000 or so right now. I'm picking up the engagement ring today! So I think as far as hands on goes I'm probably getting out of the hobby until I have kids.

Congrats!! I remember the pic of you "showing off" to some girls. Jeesh time flies. Get the kids involved and then you will have an excuse to play again. Wish you the best Zack.

Well congratulations on your addition to your homestead. Getting married can be a very good thing as long as you let her get her own way 100% of the time. Even so it does not mean that you have to give up on R/C. It just gives you more options to chose from when you wake up each day. There is nothing wrong with taking a break from the hobby when money is low, but you will hit on better times and get the chance to play once again. Life is too short to be without playtime for yourself. If your wife loves you than she will also want to make you happy and give you some personal space as well. Don't overthink marriage. Life is good.

Thanks guys!! She is the bomb! And she said yes!!

I do love your comments Jerry! I'm sure of it... you are one of the most thoughtful people that I know.

Mark, maybe you'll get a metal servo horn?

Awesome to hear Zack! I've definitely added to my maxx knowledge by your trial and error. Thanks for being rough on stuff!

Take it or leave it- I suggest being engaged, living as though you were married for a minimum of one year. If you can last through that you have a great shot at a successful marriage. And if you can't, well that speaks for itself. Getting caught up in the whirlwind of emotion of a new relationship and progressing too fast is the downfall of many marriages.

But it's your life! Keep RCM informed and we will support you no matter what. And give you shit at the same time. Peace man!

[mkrusedc]

LOL, Zack you are the second person to mention my steering setup. Neil did not like my servo saver. I guess that is next. I did title this thread, "...almost done."

Can you use monoblocks with Integy bulk/FLM chassi? And where can you pick up those monoblocks?

You know how fussy I am Mark..

Yes, they work with any bulks and chassis- they are UE monoblocks so have to be bought from UE:

( who dont sell outside of the USA ) unless you get lucky and find one on ebay or a forum for sale. Don't forget the extended rear driveshaft that you will need to find or make..

Bah. I live in Norway, so that's a no go. Are there any other parts like this for the Maxx? Or is there a guide on how to make one at home? Just need to extend it a bit.

Sure about that?
I can enter my adress and country for shipping and it seems they realised that credit cards are a valid payment option.
So I don't see any reasons why you couldn't order from them?
