After over a year, I am back at it! Does anyone know where I can find a front Ti skid plate?

Seen
 

I have seen them up for sale in here, at UE, and on Ebay over the last few months. I managed to pick up a couple sets in here myself, but with 8 trucks in our family I am not letting them go. Have you checked out GA Great Assemblies R/C? Not sure if they still sell them or not, but they made 2mm and 3mm titanium skids for the Maxx truck. There are also the HCR Hard Core Racing set, but those are pretty rare these days. You can post up on the UE forum if you are a member there, and I am sure that MJBE has a couple of sets in his collection that he may be selling. He recently moved from Alaska to Idaho, and decided to take a bunch of his UE SuperMaxx shelf queens off the wall and part them out. He has like 6 or 8 complete trucks that he is in the process of breaking down and selling all of the parts off. Good luck with your quest/search. Oh and finding anyone willing to sell just the front skid will be difficult.

Mark good to see you around! There are 4 sets on ebay! Get a set. I do have a front skid I haven't used every since I got my HCR Mutant chassis but its on my buddy truck waiting for decent electronics.

Skid sets have actually been plentiful both on UE BST and Ebay recently if the opposite was true I might sell mine to you for cheap.

While your on Ebay check out that Duh Proline DominatorMaxx. Pretty sick right? I think MJBE must have put it up. I think he has two.

Cool,

Good to see back Mark. I've just been back myself and we'll be headed out again next week.

Wow, I just checked your profile Mark, then saw you were back on last night.

Welcome back bud :party: Bout time, I know it's been quite a hiatus for you.

Glad to see the build is still going after all this time. lol A year is a long time, hope all is well with you and the family.

Look you also got Doug to come out of the woodwork. You know those crawler guys sneak in and out real slow. Don't even know they are looking over your shoulder until they say something.

Good to have you back Mark.

Wow, guys I really appreciate the welcome. I might get some pics up tonight.

Great.

Well here goes. This is the rear end. I had a little burr on one of the stub axles that need a little smoothing with a polishing wheel. I finally got the bearing on. RacerX setbacks and a monoblock....

Very nice. What shock oil weight are you using?

Awesome truck.

I am also interested in a monoblock extension. Did yours fit well on the FLM chassie? Which driveshaft do you use in the back and does it fit into the FLM drivecups (if it is the UE one)?

Thanks

Vic

Lito I think 40 wt. I really do not remember and that is the only bottle sitting on my desk.


Thanks for the compliment. The drive shaft came with the mono IIRC. It was a little loose. I have used cup srings in the past but this time I am trying a small rubber bushing in the bottom of the cup for a better fit.

I just Mono'd my 3905 FLM and I used a Savage XL dogbone in the rear.142mm Just fits with no play...

Edit $7.50 shipped on ebay.

3905 is the new brushless version...isn't it?

@mkrusedc: And do you use the FLM drivecups which come with the chassie?

Now I see that you use the older and smaller version of the chassie. I use the new one which is a bit longer. OMG. Dont ´which dogbone I have to buw...:whip:

Vic

Hope that helps.
