Got $200 to spend - 07.31.2005, 03:20 PM

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

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)

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.
