Centralemaxx RC "Ph@ntom" Maxx Racer!

[MiRatlhed]

After a few months in development Centralemaxx RC and its head engineer Gregory Jeanne has come out with a new racing chassis specifically designed to fit the Front and Rear ends of our beloved Maxx trucks. This is designed around the "EMaxx" and will be a electric competition truck to take on your local Truggy class at your track. I am happy to introduce my racing Ph@ntom!

I have been chosen as a test pilot for this new truck. I will be building one with all the goodies of a full blown Maxx Racer! This will be using a host of quality parts from Centralemaxx RC, Unlimited Engineering, Pro Line, Great Assembly, Tekin, Serpent, Mugen, STRC, AE to name a few. LiPo's have not been ordered yet as I want to try something new so I have been searching for a great newer pack to try out.

This is the brain child after years of enjoying the Maxx platform but always striving for more performance. Centralemaxx RC figured it was time to build their own platform! With superior knowledge in CAD development Gregory was able to design a superior racing chassis. We are confident it is going to win races!!

I present to you the "Ph@ntom"!

Centralemaxx RC Ph@ntom chassis w/ custom Gen IV steering rack attachment.
Centralemaxx 14mm to 17mm wheel adapters

I will have a body for show and tell and one for the track, same thing with wheel and tire set ups. I will be trying some different configurations at different tracks. This will be sent off for Anodizing tomorrow. So I will be updating the thread as progress continues on the build. We are going with a super cool theme for this truck! Pictures coming when it returns home!

Parts are used from existing kits on the market so the build is constructed with everything on the market today. I am using Unlimited Engineering parts which are not available at this time but you can use any Front and Rear Maxx bulkhead set up for a truly competitive platform. All parts made by Centralemaxx RC are machined from 7075 aluminum for great strength!

Parts that come with the chassis kit and needed parts are on the list below :
