I got all my parts together(i hope) for this mod. The first thing I noticed was that the stock lower arms have a "channel" for the shock ends to go between where you set the screw. The rpm ones do not. Do I just mount the shocks on the outside of the bracket on the lower arms?

This thread has gained about two pages since I stopped posting in it. Now that I have some money towards my Jeep, I've been really wanting a new chassis for my E-Maxx. I do like the GorillaMaxx G2 chassis but it sits way to low and does not look good with a body since the chassis is hanging way down there.

I need a suggestion(s) on a new chassis. I've been looking at the FLM one and it seems pretty decent. Is it any good? Is there anything better? I want something that can survive a severe beating while still being lightweight and affordable. Is it possible?

Thanks,

Josh :028:

FLM is nice check out some pics here i have yet to use it but it appears it is the strongest chassis i have ever seen and the best part is the price it is only 90 bucks if you are a basher i recommend this chassis if you are a racer i recommend the gmaxx one. For your purposes i would say go with the FLM chassis it adds lots of strength looks good and is pretty much indestructible.

Im installing the 3.3 stuff and got a question. On the carriers where the turnbuckle mates to it on the ball link, it looks like there are a front and rear version. From some pics I looked at it seems the ones positioned in the center of the link are for the rear and the others for the front with the turnbuckle link riding in the "higher position" as opposed to flipping it over the other way. Just making sure it goes together right the first time.

Thanks, J.

The flm chassis are light and can take a beating, at a great price too. Even if anything does happen ; you have the warranty.

FLM, it's the way to go if you are a basher...and bodies will fit properly.

Sylvester · 02.05.2007, 10:23 AM

Just make sure to get an extended body.

I'll second that, the FLM is extended. But there are more and more extended alternatives to bodies now too.

Some "non extended" bodies also fit. I prefer the look of the extended bodies however.

GorillaMaxx360 · 02.05.2007, 05:57 PM

i like the look of the non extended bodys if you use a wing that means that is less you have to cut out of the back end of the body to get the wing to fit (But this does not apply in your situation in your situation if you go flm extended will do you good)
