btw, beautiful truck plettenberg
Oh cmon rabosi, you know me from the TRX forums! Weight is my number one priority.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice but with another chassis like the gorillamaxx , the rest of parts (UE suspension, GEnIV servo saver, other UE doodads) can be added making it as nice while lowering the center of gravity making it less prone to rollovers which turns to faster cornering speeds.
:great: :wink:

Matt, you can't lower the center of gravity of the lightning as low as the gorillamaxx chassis. The lightning CoG is still as high as the chassis itself :rofl::rofl:.

It might be low compared to the thunder but not to a gmaxx chassis.

With my suspension setup this low, it doesn't scrpe the green of of our golf course.

Duster you probably have one of these already!
ebay has a chassis like mine for sale NOW!!...http://cgi.ebay.com/UE-Supermaxx-Lig...QQcmdZViewItem

FYI:i know the guy selling and he is legit...VERY reliable!...these chassis do not come around very often!...get the chassis for $650 and spend about another $2500 and you can have the Ultimate Emaxx!
well then you have to polish every DAMN piece till your fingers split and bleed!!...i still have night mares from that:diablo:
Matt, I got mine from you a while back, with towered UE VBS, all nicely polished and everything. I know Scott - my paypal acct knows him only too well, lol. I'm getting there, just disappointed about the MMM - had planned on running that, but looks like its going to be a while longer before they get it figured out.

try Schulze 18.97kmf....it is perfect match for BigMaXXimum!

i am running 66/18 spur and pinion...runs cool with body off,but hits temp of 150 with shell on wich causes esc temp protect to kick in!...should i add a fan or change gear ratio!...i am running Ultramaxxed gears with UE spider8 diff gears!(the best of the best)....i like my top speed and wheelies...did a full back flip earlier today!that was kick-assss!...ANY IDEAS?SUGGESTIONS?

Your truck is already over the top, why not take it above and beyond its current form? Try a water cooled system powered by a small fuel pump or something. That would be wild on your truck. You could use clear tubing and run a food coloring of your choice to personalize even more.

sorry i could not get together with you guys this weekend...thanks for the envite...it was my 15th wedding anniversary:whistle:...ready for 15 more!...water cooled sounds CRAZY!...maybe a small purple novak fan instead!

We had some fun. I was jumping the V-Twin about 20ft high. A friends MMM E-REVO was there and a few stock trucks. We didn't get any footage unfortunately. Water cooled is crazy! But so is your truck! Sure, you could go with a fan but why be like everyone else??? lol.
