i am going to go for theallaluminum

you guys have been a real help for me

If I may speak for the other board members: It has been our Pleasure! Glad we could help!

i have one question.. where the batteries go i like the black? can i do that?

If I understood your question, you would like to know how the aluminum chassis is black where the batteries go? If this is what you mean, the chassis kits now come with a die cut foam pad that sticks to the aluminum (or CF) at the battery locations. These help hole the cells, and protect them from damage.

o okay.. you can expect my order with a month or two

i just noticed that to buy a BL motor the price isn't bad but the controller is a lot

Just like a normal brushed setup.

o okay.. would you buy (after the truck) which batteries ( i know the charger.. thanks) tires and wheels and powerstrokes or no tires and wheels and go to the chasis?

Batteries go with the GP3300 or they have a new GP3600 either out already or coming soon. The stock tires and rims are awesome for bashing. Go with the chassis to lower the CoG.

so get the chasis before suspension?

I will have the new Intellect 3600s in stock next week. They are priced a little lower than the gps, but are comparable in performance. The "best" of the 3600s have higher voltage than the gps!

okay

I would do chassis first.

The chassis was my first upgrade as well.

okay guys.. i will do it.. chasis.. :D :D... is it hard to transfere all the stuff from one chasis to another?

what about the motr called a pletenburg (sp)

No its easy to do. If you are keeping your front and rear ends in tact for now its just 4 screws if I remember correctly to remove each bulk.

That is a great motor from what I hear but is very expensive. The 9L is more than enough IMO.

okaythanks man... i am going to order teh chasis soon

Swapping over is real easy.

The plettenberg is very expensive. For the price of the motor alone you can get a whole setup from Mike. 299 is the cheapest I have seen the Big Maxximum.

dang you guys reply quick that is amazing

guys i decided once i get my emaxx i am going to go staright for the chasis and i think a BL system instead of chasis and tires and shocks and all that stuff.. what do you think? i am buying everything from this store so what do you think i should buy to make my truck lean and mean?

If I remember correctly you wanted this to be a basher. If so I would do the chassis and shocks first with a pair of 7 cells. See how you like the power. Then if you are still not happy with the power go BL.

ya a basher but i like the speed in them cause i might start some racing that is why i was going to get the BL

A pair of good 7 cells should get you 30 mph.

:eek: wow this post is getting long

Several good questions here - it would help others with similar questions or comments if you start a new post when you change tracks. This also makes it easier to point out a specific reply or question with good information.

BTW - I get several emails that I point to this forum - Thanks guys

cool.... so just get the chasis and shocks first and not the brushless system then?

Yes and dont forget the 7 cell batteries. Mike can hook you up with everything.

i know... Mike is awesome dude.. very kind

well.. i have to wait till i sell my tmaxx before i buy the emaxx stuff and the emaxx... powerstrokes are double the price of them worth it?

so i might just buy all the parts i need to build a truck at once and build a truck without buying a stock emaxx guys... what you think of that?

That is the best way to do it , if you have the cash up front. I have the powerstroke shocks now, too. I will try to get them listed on the site soon.

SWEET MAN.. if i am going to buy everything i need to make like a truck but a roller (no motor,controller, or radio gear) we will see if i will have enough.. how much woudl it cost and what wouldi all need?

Chassis
Extension for chassis (not needed, but recommended)
cvds (front and rear)
Suspension
Aluminum knuckles
center shafts
bulkheads
diff cases
diff cups
spider gears
shocks
transmission
idler gear for transmission
wheel hexes
wheels/tires
bumpers (optional - I don't use them but some do)

It is tough to give a price, as there are several options to choose from (Integy, Proline, RDLogics, FastLane, G-maxx, MIP, etc.). If you choose what you want, I could nail down a price. If you want me to choose what you want, I could do that, too.

i know i want GMAXX chasis and suspension and the rest you can pick and i will say what i think about them.. powerstrokes also i want

Everything in silver, or would you like some Blue parts?

hmm.. well if you are suggesting integy.. i heard there stuff bends easy.. if not count me in

I am not suggesting anything, per say. Merely trying to determine what your tastes are. Some of the Integy stuff is prone to bending, while other stuff isn't. I personally use the Integy stuff because it is the lightest aluminum stuff around (except G-maxx). The fastLane bulks are stronger for sure. The diff cases don't take a beating, though, so the blue Integy diff cases may well suit your tastes and will be plenty strong. See what I am getting at?

ya i do.... i would like some blue just to accent the truck a little more.. that may look very cool...
