Maxx was just too shiny so I gave him a mud makeover :)

I am very happy with the handling, just need to tune shocks a bit.

Very nice. How do you like the bad lands? Do they balloon a lot?

wallot 02.20.2008 10:54 AM

I've been using them since summer last year, they are taped and all holes glued so they dont baloon that much

I installed RPM true-trak and finally got second pair of losi shocks.

it's a neat idea, the rpm true tracks, but i never had a problem with rear turnbuckles, IMO the truck looked better with the aluminum knuckles and matching lower arms on all four corners, but that's just me, lets see some video!

captain harlock 02.27.2008 04:35 PM

Nice Maxx, Wallot!!!

wallot 02.27.2008 04:53 PM

yeah I will probably replace the orange arms with black again and you dont see knuckles when wheels are on :)

I like the true-trak as i dont have to bother taking out my setup station and seting camber and toe-in. It just makes my life easier. Also we dobt have any official EP truck races yet so setup does not matter that much


video depends on weather. we had couple very nice days but it looks like it's gona be almost freezing and raining over weekend

RCShocker 02.27.2008 05:48 PM

Does the true-trak come with the carriers?

Lookin' Good Wallot !!!! Better now that you have the Losi's all the way around.

ssspconcepts 02.27.2008 05:59 PM

What tires are you running?

Your left upper arm is messed up?

Serum 02.27.2008 05:59 PM

Those are Proline badlands on 23mm maxx rimms with offset.

wallot 02.27.2008 06:33 PM

thanks Serum, i totally missed that. looks like we have to improve the design of the arms (well friend who made them has to :) ) as the arm is twisted a lot. and its made from high grade 7075-T6 aluminum

true-trak is a full set - lower, upper arm, carriers, bearings. you will need to add- pillow balls and dust boots

supralover72 02.27.2008 08:22 PM

That's so awesome! Nice work!

Serum 02.28.2008 02:43 AM

i would make it more like a V, with the large parts of the legs of the V facing the truck. (only needs to be about 5-7mm wider at the bulk)

jhautz 02.28.2008 02:55 AM

Looks good. What wheel hexes are those? They look like 17mm, but not the ones that I am familiar with
