X-Maxx Project (Long but please read)

[GorillaMaxx360]

OK guys it is time. I have been saving money and collecting parts for 2 years and I have still about a half of a year but I will show you what I have got now. Here it is.


I decided to go with this conversion because of the strength and durability and the looks. It all came down to this conversion or the GorillaMaxx conversion with combo bulks and slipperential. I decided to go with this FLM conversion with hybrids and HB diffs for many reasons. The first reason is because my car is an E-Maxx and I feel my car is suitable to bash and race but more so to bash, so I chose these parts to represent this. (No offense to those of you racers with E-Maxx and the gmaxx chassis because I love to race and I love the look of your car and it will probably keep up with other nitro truggys on the track. Reason two I decided to go with this because it was cheaper I know I already had 600 to start with but it would take a lot of weeks to get the extra stuff that I would need to get the gmaxx conversion ready,( for example 100 bucks more in diffs, 120 more in CVDs, 70 more in knuckles, 80 more on shocks, 20 more on oil and lube, 40 more on skids, 20 more on hinge pins, and a few other small stuff) this stuff would easily equal over 450 extra dollars and with what I chose now I got all of this stuff at the sacrifice of the performance and looks from the gmaxx and slipperential combo. I know to some this may be only 450 but with my allowance at 10 bucks a week it would take 45 weeks almost a year. Reason three “I Want to drive this thing” and the less cash I spend on performance I can use on getting it ready all I need not to get this thing running is a single speed transmission, motor, CVDs, batteries, and radio. And this means with the money I save on these I can put in to getting it running. Fourth reason I feel with the other setup I will notice a difference in performance but unfortunately I will be racing on-road, which means am I going to tell as much of a difference as I would on off road. Plus I will be racing nitro Revos, truggys, and T-Maxx. And when you race on tight street tracks the car matters but it all come down to the driver. With this said I believe my self that I will be able to win if I have more time to practice than if I had the extra performance (this is what I mean – guy races for 5 months with my car, diff guy comes around with gmaxx and slipperential (both guys start out racing for the first time one just 5 months before the other) the guy with my car wins and the other says why does he win when I have a way better car. The guy explains that he has 5 more months of experience than him and if they both practice at the same time he is always 5 months more experienced better. In my situation I believe this because I believe if I race with my car now for a whole summer I will race better next season than if I waited until next season to start but I started with a better car.). Also I feel that I my self am a bad driver and the gmaxx will not make as much of a difference as it would with somebody better like RC-Monster Mike. Enough of that let me
