Im using the ones that came with the shocks, they seem pretty firm. The one i have filled with the one hole piston feel a bit better, they arent so springy. i'll have to wait till i put them on the truck to see if they are ok.

I got my supermaxx 8 spyder diffs today. they fit PERFECTLY in the flm bulkless. I put that in then i got the arms on it and the shock tower and skid plate. All i need now is some piviot balls and caps then when i get the chassis and servo saver i can put it all together.

shocks are way to soft lol, im gonna get some 70 and 80wt oil so that its nice and firm for jumps. Im gonna make an order from tower and want to know what spur i should get, im not gonna lock it into second so i'll have both gears. Im probably gonna get a 8xl or 9xl, it will be running on 8 cell ib3800 packs and also a couple of 7cell gp3300 packs. I would like it to reach around 40+mph, in second gear of course lol. Thanks for any help:)

what kind of slipper are you running? stock? i would get the strobe with that much power. the only disadvantage is only be able to run mod 1 pinions and a 51 tooth spur but mod 1 is alot stronger.

yeah i was wondering if i should get that, might aswell while i have some money. so all i need to convert to the strobe slipper is, the strobe slipper, the ofna spur, do you need that sprong thingy? is that all? and it just goes straight in?

the strobe slipper, ofna spur and mod 1 pinions is all you really need but i would also get the sprong. it ensures equal pressure on the pads unlike the stock spring.

ok cool, thanks.

Heres a pic of my maxx with top off

here is one with the top on

Hey, Is that a mud hog or what :L: Looks like you have some damage. Did you send that A-arm back for replacement? What is that leaking out of your hybrids?? :W: I like the way you set it up it's a nice truck. How are the stock motors runing on top of all that aluminum?? I am going to run mine for awhile, I might preorder one of those deals Mike is running. Anyway I like your truck but it needs a bath :p :L:

lol yeah i saw some thick, dry mud and i couldnt resist lol, it was mainly just the tires that got dirty. I just remembered i had to send a pic of the flm arm to mike, so i will be doing that soon. I put normal grease in the hybrids so i think thats leaking out a little bit cause the dirt always gets stuck there. The stock motors are actually doing heaps better than i thought, i can pull wheelies with the big joes on! and it has good acceleration. I think i'll give it a good brush down with a paint brush lol i might take it apart and just check everything is ok. My dog likes to play with it, hes not scared of it, he tries to bite it and kill it lol. I've got to be careful cause he tries to get it its way so that it hits him and flips over or he'll just jump on it lol. It weights about 11 1/2 lbs so i dont want to hit his legs.

looks like you had fun in the mud. there is no mud where i live just clay. my dog is afraid of my truck(100lb dog is afraid of a 10lb truck) i have ran over my little brother though. he fell flat on his face lol.

LOL , sounds like you been having some real fun. About the hybrids thats what I am going to put in mine (grease) Mike said it dont take alot just enough to cover the gears, maybe you got to much? but it's better safe than sorry. What CVD's are you running?? Mine fit but if I let the A-arm all the way down (with out the shock) it comes out right to the edge. I am afriad when I get air they will fall out or does the shocks keep that from happening?? I don't know what kind they are.

@bos 302: you hit your brother! lol. I've hit my leg lmao but it was really slow but it still hurt!

@dooley: I think i did put to much grease in then cause i filled up the whole thing LOL. I'm running mip cvds. if there are no shocks mine would fall out to, just lift your truck up and see if they can come lose, if they cant your fine.

Thanks, Do you know how to get a glued tire off a bad rim without tearing up the tire?? I got this posted but no answer yet.
