Wheelie Bar for Supermaxx
 

Hi Guys

Does somebody of you have experiences with wheelie bar.

Which you you recommend and why?

Thank you for your help.

Gusti

well im not sure what would be a good wheeliebar but i know to say away from the trinity ones. thats for certain.

The New Era one isn't too bad. If you take a big jump and land on it, though, it will bend.

I have a wingmount from DiemakerDave and mounted a Mugen wing on mine, it works great as a wheeliebar!

Hi standard_63

Please may you post a picture of this?

Thank you

Gusti, a wing (from any 8th scale buggy) is an excellent wheelie-bar.
Basically, every buggy wing mount can be attached to a Maxx somehow.

Check how I did it on the Revo

I suggest the Proline wing. And I had a Hot Bodies mount, I think.

This is a MBX5 wing stay mounted on UEVBS via DiemakerDave wing wing mount. He also mokes one for the knucklehead tower.

Another view

Why didn't you mount those steelwires more vertical papa? Why didn't you use the towers? It will do damage to the VBS (visual damage) this way..?

They are just laying there right now, not in the mount. Truck is kinda in peices, waiting for the setback arms to arrive later today.:cool: Don't worry I'll have them in the integrated mounts and adjusted properly eventually.

I'll be sure to post a bunch of detail Pics when I THINK I am done, and before I run it. You know one final inspection from the crew.:L:

What kind of driving do you do?

Guys

First of all, thank you very much for your help.

JOHNNYMAXXIMA, my son drives mostly on asphalt, tennis courts and sokker fieds (gras).

For this reason I suppose the wing (of course it looks great) isn't the right stuff for him. Specially if he drives in front of our house, I think it will be very noisy and the wing will be destroyed soon.

What I already have is a wheelie bar, which I have made myself. It was in conjunction with a GA rear skid. The problem is now, that the skid will not fit any more (GA chassis extension). Mike told me he can solve this problem for me, with a modified FLM skid. This is fine.

But I think the only disadvantage my wheelie bar has, is that the wheelie bar is not adjustable. I have made different holes, but this do not help very much for adjustments. For this reason I have posted this question here, if there are any other ideas.

Below a picture of my bar. Please appologize this bad quality, I made the picture with my mobile.

Well, Gusti, you could also just put that wheelie bar back on in addition to the new skid(put it right over it) and cut off the excess material. Not the best solution, but it does work.

Hey Gusti,
As long as you don't take the truck off road, this is a wheelie bar that I made and works pretty good.
It's mainly just for onroad driving only (obviously). I drive this truck around mainly just in front of my house. I've done some minor jumping with it up and down curbs, through grass and it's held up well, except when I cartwheeled about 7 times at about 40mph. I have since shortened it a bit so it didnt stick out as far.

Thanks!

Hi JOHNNYMAXXIMA

Sorry for my late answer. This looks really great, specially with this shocks. What kind of shocks you are using?

Did you made everything yourself or did you purchased some material and have modified this.

Thank you for your answer.

Currently Mike send me a extendet Rear Skid for. So in the next few days my son has something to drive. But I think I want this two. Specially with these two shocks, this may be smoother than only the two wheels I have on the skid.

Thank you guys

Gusti

Those are Jato shocks. The rest looks self made.

Nice job, Johnny

you might want revo shocks instead of the jato. the revo shocks have aluminum bodies.

Thanks guys.
Yes everything is home made gusti. I just went to the local hardware store and purchased the thredded rod for the wheels to attatch to, the hollow rod to cover the thredded rod and the solid rod for the sides. Drill a couple of holes and your done.
Darn squee, I would have rather of had the Revo shock if that's the case. The guy on ebay listed them as Jato/Revo shocks so I assumed they were the same. Oh well, they still serve their purpose.

yup. definately jato. one thing that gives it away is the spring color. revo-red, jato-obviously white.
