i will put an new wing and body on it and get aother dual Plettenberg BigMaxximum video this weekend!...i have run this truck with one motor and two motors on 24 Nimh batts but never Duals with 2 new 5s Lipo batts...it hauls ass on just one!!...:whistle:

HOLY!!


that is a work of art!

how much is that thing worth!

Jesus...

hmm, GA to NJ, you should be able to make it here in about 5 minutes with that!
howd u get the plettenburgs and more importantly, how do you have 2 of them at once?!?

why not a mmmv3 with a 1521 or 1527!!??...so its a wowowow:gasp: built

this would be like putting a top fuel dragster engine in a smart car. brings new meaning to All Motor!

It's called money :wink:.
You can order them online.

10 Signs that you’re addicted to RC:THIS TRUCK ON 10S!!:angel:

Personally I would use a single esc with 10s in series and a big, low kv motor.

Nice truck man... Do you think it's safe to mount ESCs so high though?

i always run with a body pretty high...i hope not to do any top speed endos,I just mounted new body and new green wing...i do NOT love the ESC mounting position but there is not much extra room....I TRIED EVERYTHING AND EVERY OPTION to get them lower...it aint hapnin!

when i ran the duals before i had much more weight with the 24 Nimh batts,i had probs with the input and output trani shafts breaking in two...is lighter with LIPO so lets see if it holds up!!!...i have all aluminum ULTRAMAXXED gears,hardened steel modified input/output shafts,UE spider8's and titanium CVDs and center drive shafts...the drive line cant be any stronger...new pics and Video tomorrow...Zippy's are charging now:yes:

:lol: :yes:

My prediction: A major drive component breaks the second you get comfortable with it and try to do something cool. :rofl: NiMH doesn't compare to LiPo in something of this scale. It's gonna be scary.

So it's only gonna have like what... 10+ horsepower, and prolly weighs right around 10 pounds... and will need about a 10 mile runway.... sikk man u are....

That doesn't include stopping distance. :intello:

I never get tired looking at your trucks Matt!!! Anyway, any update on the direct drive chassis?

You'd better try it with a featherthrottlefinger- I just have a picture of this thing throwing itself on its lid like a hammer into anvil lol

you must post a video of this thing. that is sick! i like your truck better than mine and i like my trucks a lot!

radio,RX batt and ZIPPY's are charged....will have video tonight if weather is nice!!!

LITO>>>my DirectDrive chassis are still in production....my guy is a "one man band" and he had two RUSH jobs that came in right after CHRISTMAS that he had to do before mine!!!I am sick of waiting also,but they will be worth the wait!!>>>I did purchase $300 worth of 16x8x5 bearings and RR slippers this week!!:whistle:

Great to hear some update!! Keep us posted.

Definitely post some vids of the dual Plett truck tearing the golf course.

Good to hear.
 

Good to hear about the progress of the new chassis. We are all waiting patiently of course, but still anxious to get our hands on them soon. I cannot wait to see the video of your dual setup with those batts. I sure hope nothing gets hurt. Good luck with that, and be safe. I have one Pletty and still have not gotten to run it yet. I am nearly finished with my RCM project and hope to have it running some time in Feb. Videos to follow at that time.

That is a amazing truck. I like how the battery wires are almost as thick as the shocks. :lol:

Any word on the test run?

He's still picking up the bits and pieces..... :lol:

everything went fine,nothing broke!!...i have VIDEO but am having trouble getting the damn thing off the camera to internet!!...i will get my mind right then try to figure it out again!!

Just mail me the camera!!!!! :mdr:

:gasp::surprised: speechless..........

What does this mean??
 

!!...i will get my mind right then try to figure it out again!!

What does this mean exactly? Lets see, maybe you have to sober up and get rid of your headache?? Or maybe you just have to take a break before you kill teh camera??? We are all sitting on pins and needles waiting to see what you have done. SO how did it run for you? Was it as over powered as we all expected? Share your experience with us Pletty.

Very very very nice truck you got their plettenbergs.

^^ That's officially Jerry's shortest post EVER. :rofl:

Wrong....
 

WRONG...:lol::rofl::whistle:

I was right until you posted again!!!!... :lol:

Excuse my ingnorance but what controllers are those?

That thing is terrifying! :mdr:

How can you say that, have you seen it go?

I wanna see it gooooooooo!!!! Come on Plett, where's that vid you promised us?

I've seen it run on one pletty I believe maybe two I can't remember. Some body could link to the thread. But, yeah, just look at it, if thats not scary, then I don't know what is. But scary in the best way possible

Good stuff.
 

Hey every scinario has to be tested at some point. Why not two big Maximums?? And why not him?? He has had great success with the Big Maximum, so why not run two and see how they work for his rig? Life is short, so go for the gusto. Pletty you have a very nice truck. Good job on that build.

Did you purchase those motors directly from Plettenberg, or did you get lucky with second hand sales? That is $1000 just in motor value alone. If you have the dual Schulze 18/97 controller setup that is another $1000. So now that truck is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $4K to $5K right? It amazes me how much we spend on these toys. $5 grand in one toy truck. WOW that is unbelievable. How many people get to live that kind of dream?? This is a lavishly disgusting display of careless spending, much like our goverment experiences every day. I am impressed and would do the same thing if I had the money to do so. Way to go Pletty. Now this has to qulaify as one of those "You know your addicted when". Have a good day Sir.

Maybe this year I can get an earmark to help with a couple of my builds... :lol:

My lord are you kidding the govt could subsidize these builds for every living human and spend less than the military- imagine tho, unobtainium driveshafts, drive-by-thought capabilities.......

i am too dumb to get the video to work with my new laptop...my friend Jason did it for me last time...i will get him to put it up tomorrow!

I did get the Pletts and the Schulze 18.97's from I-care in Germany...It is over kill but WTF...wow major power,too much power but i think i can get used to it...major wheelies on comand at any speed!!...today was a test run to see if trani or diffs exploded...NO PARTS BROKEN!!...I LOVE BRUSHLESS!!

I will put on a fresh spur gear and make another video this weekend!
