Got $200 to spend
 

So I'm thinking Gmaxx CF chassis, Aluminum Chassis, or a Speed Control. What do you guys think?

What do you have already?

Good Diffs, CVD's, Stock chassis, HV maxx , Big Bore shocks, misc shiney metal pieces(that weren't needed) Bigest hold I think is the chassis and motor.

How do you like the HV-Maxx system? Did you put a controller as one of the options because you don't like it?

If you like the HV-Maxx system, then go for the chassis. I would say go for the aluminum one as it look better with your truck, and it costs less.

The HV maxx will be replaced eventually. I was thinking the chassis also. I'm just not sure Metal or Carbon fiber. It's only a $10 dollar difference.

I guess it depends if you want light weight or some bling. I would get one of the chassis though. IMO

Carbon is just as blingish' imo. But it doesn't look very strong, remind's me of serum's picture.(broken screw hole front bulkhead)

I like the colored chassis. If i was going to buy me one.I like the way they look and they come with the extension.

I need something strong otherwise I might as well keep the original tupperware one. :)

The colored ones are just as strong as the regular gmaxx chassis. I don't know if mike could get this or not. They have the blue aluminum, red aluminum, and a sliver carbon. You have to go to the gmaxx site and check them out. www.gorillamaxx.com
It is under the limited editions.

It is sweet looking. Could you get um Mike?

OK... I was of by $40 :)

What you going to get tomato?

I ordered the blue chassis one last night. :)

You must have liked it then. I liked it to. It probably looks better in person than in pic. Have to post a pic of it when you get it togethere there tomato.

You should also get associated chassis protection tape for the bottom of your chassis it will keep your chassis from getting scratched it cost about $10.00. I use it on both of my cf trucks it works great.

Where you get that tape from hippie?

I bought mine from the lhs, but check with mike i'm pretty sure he can get it he might even have some just not listed on the store site.

I don't know where my lhs is. Even if I have one. I don't think it is quite so local. I get a lot of my stuff online.

Ask mike i'm pretty sure he can get it for you.

I have three that are fairly close. Unfortunetly they're good for spurs(somtimes) and pinions(sometimes). They don't stock much aftermarket QUALITY items. I was there today to buy some new diffs case's and housings for my T. They had the Robinson gears but that was it. I bought the stock plastic again. I dismanteled my truck rebuilt the diffs, reassembled, and went outside. I must have made it twenty feet before that plastic cup gave up the ghost leaving me with front wheel drive (again). I blew reverse donuts till I was outta gas. Dug a nice pit I have to admit, but I'm out a couple dollars and a chunk of time. I have to do it again.

Mike do you have diff houseings<--(spelling) in stock?

What do you keep breaking there tomato?

Tomato were in florida do you live ?. I live in largo fl which is near tampa.,

Diffs keep distorting or stripping. I'm on my 3 set(6 pcs) in my E and T maxx. I did get some maxximizer cups with the Robison gears from Mike. I was going to put them in some houses I got off ebay but the houses ended up to be a defect from the manufacturer. So I got rid of them :( They were only $55 for both so... atleast I'm not a $100 or more.

Busted the plastic drive shafts. ( I guess we all knew that was comming). So I just got some cvd's. Busted numerous screws in my alum bulk head... Toast now I guess. I have a set of these

comming in soon. A new set of bulks from integy(blue) to go with that blue CF chassis. Full Integey suspention kit (silver) to go on the new chassis. Now I'm debating on a new set of houses to go with the maxximizer cups. Maybe I'll put them in the other diffs from ebay?. I don't know.....

I had a little bit of problem with the diff gears. Never had to much until the 7xl. I ran the aluminum diff cup with the fastlane bulkless. I have a pole head on at 20 mph or so and didn't hurt nothing. Did you shim the side spider gears. It makes them stronger. I going to step up to the 7.5 rears. I am tired of having problems with the stock setup. I want to put another big motor on truck to. I like power. :)

If it is available, I can most likely get it. I have blue diff cases in stock, as the silver cases have been back ordered for a bit, along with spider gears if you need them.

would you email me some info on the blue diff cases.

Mike the chassis tape is made be associated.

Yes, I am familiar with the chassis tape. The cheaper solution is to buy clear sticker paper at an office supply store. :)

How thick is it i have never heard of that stuff ?. Is it tough ?.

@ Tomato: YGM! :)

The stuff I have is in a box called "clear full sheet labels". It sin't as thick as the associated stickers stuff, but you get 25 sheets in a package and it works great for making custom stickers as well!

I sent my order in today Mike. You should have it.

Yep. Order received. I will ship it tomorrow so you should have it soon!

Thank you! :)

That is what i like about you mike. You are on the ball.

Got the chassis in today. A few more parts and I'll have some pictures up. Still need the cases and center cvd. The cases are on the way. I'm gonna feel bad bashing up that chassis. NOT! Although it is the strangest CF I've ever seen :)

The "strangest CF I've ever seen" is actually blue annodized aluminum (which is why it appears to be strange for CF!). :)

That's what I thought when I was taping it against my teeth. :) I just didn't want to assume. I have the chassis together and the front and rear arms bolted to the bulks. Lunsford TI pins and turnbuckles. Racers edege diff cases, maxximizer cups... It's starting to come together. I'll have to make 2 pots of coffee tonite and get it done!

It is so hard to stop once you get started. I like to see when done.
