Isn't that an old country song from Kenn Rogers .

Nice-looking vid Matt. It's a lot nicer to actually see them running .

I cant even speak of this truck, all that I put into my G4, im still not worthy

[plettenbergs]

hey Jordan(2nd best emaxx owner),the wheels are one-off prototype wheels...deep dish centerline style...i collect show trucks,wheels and bodies...my next video will be with the sickest lid i have...Hummer H2 with cool strobe light kit installed...this is my first BL emaxx and i will be selling off ALL my nitro stuff...too messy and hard to tune...i have run this truck through 4 10,ooomah runs without any issues( not even a loose bolt)

this truck will run full out for an HOUR on two Zippy 5s lipo's in parallel!

*my secret to getting on a private golf course is this:1)find a course in a subdivision,2)go out about 1 hour before dark,3)enter where golf cart path crossed street,4) act like you belong there,pose ass resident with "cute little boy",5)run truck on differant hole each time to avoid tipping off the Mexican greens cutter dudes of BL activity

When do you want to meet up? I broke a couple driveshafts so I need to get back to HTU and pick some up but 'm pretty much ready anytime.

By the way, your twin motor Maxx is a little bigger than mine ;)

[plettenbergs]

Hey Tempted...where do you drive your truck?I cant get together tomorrow,I am going dirt bike riding!...Do you have a bike?...I love HobbyTown @Town Center Mall area...Every time i see a vacant building i say"that would make a great HOBBYTOWN"...I would love to own one!

I have a huge sodded yard with a giant 10 foot jump i made with my bobcat!...You can come over some time or we can crash CROOKED CREEK golf course!

[Tempted]

No but I am actually looking for an Enduro right now. I have a 3 wheeler. Its junk, but its fun to ride(no brakes). I can always borrow my Dad's 4wheeler if I want. I bash in my backyard and on the streets in front of my house right now. I would love to tear a golf course up though. I don't replace divots ;) I just tilled a bit of my yard up and added some jumps to mine. Its 12' from the point of the ramp to the center of the steel pipe you see. This is my stock truck

[plettenbergs]

now that is a BASH session!...the steel pipe landing ramp must be rough on parts!...i might have some plastic TRAXXASS parts to donate to you cause!...what do you need from HOBBYTOWN?

[killajb]

Hands down, that's one of the funniest most rewarding bash session I've seen.

Thats just a matter of opinion...

Thanks for the anwser, i didn't think UE did a run of those deep dish wheels, the only other set i've seen are the deep starr wheels. That extra offset really looks like it keeps the truck planted

P.S I don't understand how your truck weighs 12lbs, where mine weighs 14lbs

[Tempted]

I had to get some driveshaft ends, axle carriers and turnbuckles. I still need 2 more axle carriers and shaft ends because they didn't have anymore. So I have to use stock 3906 shafts up front. As for the bash session, that was a light one for me. I really put the hammer down when I run. Those are all my stock truck, I bash the V-Twin much harder. I don't really have any twin bashing videos, just some street runs. Let me know when your ready to get together, it would be fun to run the trucks. If your up for it, you could bring your truck to my place and run on my track. Its pretty tough on the trucks, I have to warn you. Here are a couple more bashing videos.

My dual brushless Maxx is always looking for a race.

I live in Statesboro Ga. I have a beat into the ground Revo G2R (possibly the first one sold and assembled out of RC-Monster) with a quark 125/Neu 1515/2.5 setup. It may not be up to twin pletty's, but i'd love to mess with the dual VXl's

[Tempted]

Well Cmon up. I'll run with ya. I use two Zippy 5000 3s packs in my truck. It runs pretty quick. Its the fastest V-Twin I've seen. The problem is the torque; I can't control it. If you watch the 3rd video, the wheelie was at about 35mph. It yanks the wheels up at any speed and causes me to lose control. Check out the ending of this video and thats with my wheelie bar at the lowest level.

[plettenbergs]

hey tempted...watch out for that mailbox!!!

[Takedown]

Bye bye to anything in the tranny with dual pletty's.

[plettenbergs]

my all aluminum trani is "THE BEEF"....have you guys seen the ULTRAMAXXED gears!...brass idlers and aluminum 1st and 2nd...hardened steel output and input shafts!...i was stripping the pins in the input shaft untill i replaced them with allan keys cut down...now everything is so they say...BombProof... i think??...i do have three backup sets of the (out of production) Ultramaxxed gears though!
