Is it really going to save that much weight?
I'd probably leave it as is if it doesn't influence handling too much in a bad way.

edit: It says out of stock on the new era website.
If this is true I would definately leave the skid plate as is.

Maybe you are right. I'll think about it. A shame to hear about New Era. At least ebay has tons of titanium skids.

Don't cut it.

Nice truck Zack.

Ok I won't.

Thanks Lito.

Your truck has gone a long way. I wasn't able to see pictures until our ship returned last week because Photobucket is not accessible through a gov't computer.

I need to charge my lipos so I can run my trucks tomorrow. It's been over 6 months since I ran them. This deployment is cutting into my hobby time :).

Yeah. Get em going! God bless you man.

I'm thinking about getting rear RacerX with the big UE cvds. non Setback version. What do you think? RPM is just too flexy and lets the cvds bend as they pop out.

Are the 16mm ones necessary over the 15mm?

15 or 16mm will work just the same. There's not much difference strength-wise between the 8x16x5mm against the 6x15x5mm bearings. I'd rather install a pair of setback arms in order to give an additional 22mm of length. It will be more stable and less prone to wheelies and flips.

I have both 15 and 16mm versions of racerx and I can't able tell the difference.

Edit: 16mm racerx is required if you're going to use the 8mm cvds unless you have a readysource of 8x15x5mm bearings.

My truck is already so long. Its longer than a monoblocked lightning. Its longer than a 8T 2.0! Setbacks look heavy. They way I have it set up now, I can't do mad wheelies unless I'm on pavement. It just slings dirt on dirt. lol. With that in mind Setbacks look kinda heavy and MM says high grade bulks only and I want to keep it light-"ish" so no GARC for me yet, the FLM have proved themselves.

What do you think about these parts? CLICK

Don't buy from that guy. He is the same person Beau dealt with before for not paying the stuff he bid on ebay. He tried to trade parts with me at the beginning of this year but I was skeptical so I didn't deal with him. Check this out: askursha

Any ideas? Watch the UE BST and EBAY? Should happen fairly quick then?

Yup. UE's bst and ebay are your best bet.

Did I hear Ti skids?? (yeah I am back) I was putting my Maxx back together after almost a year of nothing and I still need a Ti skid for the front. Anybody know where to get one?

And hey to Zack Lito and everybody else.

Mark

They are a few skids on ebay right now, see the below link...

I'm building a buddy truck with my left over parts basically it will look like this, but have stock plastic bulkheads and will be powered by a TRX 750 titan, a TRX maxx esc blue colored. lol. and 2X7.4v lipo.

My question is this. I've already got plastic bulkheads should I spend another 60 and get FLM? :neutral:

Mark I was looking at my front skid plate that will be going on this buddy truck and you probably wouldn't want it. Its really marked up and has a cut in it from a striped screw head.

Hey man as I have said recently its good to have you back.

What bearings and diff will fit this? I'm worried that with all the runtime I've put on the diff and bearings that something is going to eventually need replacing. I suppose I should oil the bearings. This this diff is fairly old and no longer supported I should probably move on to a newer diff. Any ideas? It needs to be a long enough diff with the right bearings right?

Thanks,
