New E-Maxx chassis
 

Don't know if anyone knows, or knew. But fastlane machine have just released a new extended chassis as well as the tranny case.
Check out http://www.fastlanemachine.com/Publi...9/Default.aspx
its only $90 and extends the maxx 35mm....

Another guy has a thread to on it. Just didn't have site. That is sweet looking. I wonder if mike is going to carry these.

I'm a little concerned as to how the batteries mount. There are no battery cups/bars/straps in that photo. Can't wait to see some high res pics of that chassis, it certainly looks very promising for the price.

I like the looks. I wonder what the weight is. Make me want to get one. Build me a all aluminum emaxx with fastlane parts.

It says in the description of the chassis that it includes battery "mounts". This chassis will give a lot of competition to the G-Maxx chassis!

I like the higher clearence for bashing around. The body will cover the batteries up to. I think it is pretty.

I hope it can support 7-8 cells flat for some seriously high cell counts. Unless is turns out to be a complete flop, I will probably buy one. Purely because of the extra 35mm, and the price, plus i reckon at 6mm thick its gotta be pretty sturdy.

The way the brace is under it makes it strong. Has the four mounting points per brace. I would be happy with 7 cell flat. It would look real nice with that new tranny on it.

I want to know if you can run 7cells flat on this chassis. Is there plans on making a regular length chassis to. I like the longer trucks but I also like the short ones in some ways to. I like to know more info on this. What about mounting the batteries?

FYI for this thread:

Mike normally races on Friday nights, so don't expect a reply from him regarding this product until either very late tonight or sometime tomorrow morning.

I just working on my rides checking out some new stuff on the forum. Thanks batfish. I won't thinking about race night.I not in a hurry for answers any way. Have enough to keep me busy.

I, however, am now re-thinking selling my E-Maxx :)
With this more economical chassis, I may just be able to afford the CVDs it also would need, heh.

Like I need another RC.

It is a good price. It looks strong to. I like that the braces are attached in the 4 points.

Maxxdude, If you look at the picture very close, there is a relief cut in the underside of the chassis.

Looks nice but heavy in comparison to the Gorilla.

Like the design though.

How can this chassis be a competitor to a gmaxx chassis? This is for basher's the gmaxx for racer's, the only thing that's competitive is the price.

Agreed, but the G-Maxx, from what I've been told, is a very stout basher and can take a beating.

I am quite sure the FLM chassis will be super strong, and not terribly heavy, either. I am also quite sure it will hold a few cells as well. The CG won't be as low as the G-maxx, and it will likely be a touch heavier, but it should be an excellent basher chassis. I will get them in stock this week and check them out in person.

How about some more info about their new tranny? Can't beat it for that price.

What info do you want on that tranny Sneeck? The part you need for the 1 speed conversion is 40 dollars.

Is everything fit's nicely.

I will let you know as soon as i get mine.. You know i am very critical..

I want to hear what you think of them as well serum. I may have to get one as well.

Any update on how these chassis' performs? If anyone's got one, could they post a couple a pics of it - same with the new tranny cases. The pics on FLM websites are as good as useless.

Cheers

I got the order in on a tranny. I post some when I get it. Can't help on chassis. I would like to see some different angles on it as well.

Does any one know or have the weight of this and a stock chassis? I would like to know if there is any what difference and what it is?

The weight of the stock chassis is out here somewhere, it's compared with a gmaxx CF chassis. George did post it himself.

Does any one have a weight on this chassis yet? I really like to know about a comprasion to stock. Please!

Does any one know if they planning on a stock length aluminum chassis as well? I would be more interested in that.

im gonna order the chassis tonight, it takes 5 days to ship to me so when i get it i'll post pics if i can get my hands on my mates camera.

Okay dokey! Do you have a way to weight it? I am real curious on weight. Thanks basketti

yeah i have some scales here, my mums scales she uses for baking lol! i'll weight it as soon as i get it and let ya know :)

Don't let the mum catch you. I like for you to stick around the forum some. :D But that would be great mate. Thanks!

Does anyone have an update on this? I'd like to hear about feedback on the chassis (build, weight, performance) and see pics if you have any.

Also, is there any kind of a lexan shield for the underside to keep dirt/mud from spraying everything?

Mike has been working with flm and they are redesigning the chassis so that you can fit 8cells side by side. I ordered mine a while ago, so i've been waiting, but im sure it will be worth it when i get it :)

Hi all, I just got off the phone with fastlane and they told me the chassis would hold (8 cells) flat. and if you want a lower COG you could mount the battires on the bottom of the chassis. I have already bought the A-arms, Hidrids,shock towers. Next is the chassis and the 1/8 gears. With a full fastlane chassis you are set for life! I will be posting my before pictures soon. And continue as I build.

I think we have finalized the design(FLM) on the chassis, Jesse, so your chassis should be on its way pretty soon. 8 cells per side-top OR bottom), and it will comfortably hold stick packs and side by side packs. It does look a little different than the picture(had to make it a little wider), and I will get some pictures posted when I have them.
For bulletproof, UE is of course known for their durabilty, as well as their price. FLM is also excellent on durability, AND price. For 1/8 diffs, nearly any 1/8 buggy diff will fit the hybrid bulks(FLM) or VBS(UE), and this pretty much puts the diffs into the "set it and forget it" category in terms of durability.

Dooley...welcome to the forums! :)

Thanks, there seems to be some real nice folks here. I have learned a lot just reading. I look foward to many great discussions with yall.

I am curious about the way the batteries are mounted too! Shoot some pics, yes please.. :p

hi
i am eager to see some pics too..... ;)
