One more thing...If you can afford it, the UE VBS is definately the way to go, especially for a racer, but the FLM Hybrids are definately the next best thing. The UE VBS aren't a direct replacement type thing. Don't get me wrong, they are made just for the Maxx, but they aren't designed just like stock except there a bulkless design like the FLM. They have a special kick-up designed into them so they make it handle better (more caster). They are by far the best, but $140 for the FLM vs. $350+ for the UE, you deside. I, if I had the money, would choose hte UE towerless VBS with Ti. skids...The towered are nice, but not worth the extra money. Not to mention, the towerless allow you to use the shock towers of your choice. I would choose FLM or DUH! Oh! One big thing that I over-looked. Shocks...DEFINATELY get the Proline Powerstroke By-Pass shocks. There the best money can buy...and not that expensive...

I was waiting for you to mention those :005: :027: Yes, very good shocks.

Oh, I would also add the Racer-X set back rear arms and Racer-X high impact front arms (if you can get the high impact arms).

yes my mistake i will update the list powerstrokes are the best i over looked that

I made a few changes...

Man it lookes like i did pretty well i did not see that many changes the Other radio wont really help with performance 1newmax but is jsut a personal prefrence. I like the end result (of the list).:027:

Yea. I only changed a few things. You left UE shocks, I changed the ESC, motor, and charger.

I've heard that RC Screws is not the way to go. Infact, I would give Tonys Screws a try. I use Tonys on my E-Maxx and the screws are just awesome!

Josh :028:

P.S This thread is helping me out a lot for my E-Maxx :005:

yeah i do like the quark better but i figured the 20150 was a better controller because it was more expensive but yes the Quark was my second option. The Power stroke shocks are much better than UE so that was a pretty justified change. AS for the Neu and Lehner swap is was a preference kind of thing but with either motor he will be happy the Neu has better cooling and the Lehner is just a little more overpriced and has a tad more in the performance section

Glad it is helping you there are a lot n good things on this list for a future build

your welcome, everything you need here now return us a favor!

lets se PICS when your done!

i have printed everything and thanks to all of you for your assistance in my little winter project. i also heard back from mike , but no list yet. will post the other list when i get it so my new friends can see. will keep all of you posted and i will post pics as i assemble the monster. hey, if i use gorillamaxx"s list, how much of my emaxx will i actually use? thanks again jeff

This is the updated list that me and squee have come up with the only difference in the list is the radio preference and the charger(the reason i chose the ice charger -more expensive-is because i have heard lots of problems with the super brains charging the batteries all the way and the ice has more options. the super brain will charge lipo but the ice is more suited for it. This is one is one of those items where if you have the cash you should just buy the more expensive one just to be sure you don't regret the cheaper on, BUT if you would rather save the 60$ you can go with the super brain and it will work) he chose the Nomadio and i chose spektrum spektrum is cheaper than the nomadio and has about the same technology it will not effect performance no matter which radio you use.

Well heres the list i created and squee modified (his opinions are good he is very knowledgeable) with this list it will be a ground up build which means you will not even touch anything on the stock emaxx, because everything on this list is an upgrade from stock. What i would do is race the stock E-Maxx in the stock class and drive it with the one you are building. This will make it fun because you can actually see the performance difference difference between the two. Also you can use it is a back up or spare car if someone else wants to drive/race with you. Heres the list
