Project Super-VBS-CF-Gorillamaxx!!!

[jordan...]

Thanks again Shaun, I have been in contact with Mike every couple of days about the controller, should definately be in this week. I think he's probably getting sick of my e-mails asking if its come in yet

As for the build, there isn't anything needed anymore except for the ESC. But that didn't stop me getting some *bling* for it I have upgraded the plastic links on the upper rear RacerX arms to aluminium links from an OFNA Dominator. This morning i also recieved some brand new UE aluminium wheels with brand new Proline Mashers installed, only paid $61 as well. They turned out to be cheaper than my Wabash's

I'll have some pics up in a couple of hours, got some grinding to do first!

The neck is healing really well, i'm into a soft collar neck brace and it should be off in the next couple of weeks. Now i've got titanium in my neck, it should be stronger than ever (Thanks for asking Shaun, means alot)

ill have some pics up soon

Cool.. looking forward to seeing the updates Sir..

Hey there Jordan great to hear that you are doing well and still moving forward with the project. It is looking nice. So the RC Alloy shafts came in quickly for you. Reading your last post I was thinking how lucky you are. Healing nicely and if you ever need any titanium for your projects you can aloways borrow some from yourself Just poking fun at ya. Glad to hear that you are doing better.

Hey Jerry, haven't seen you for a little while, hows Korea treating you?

Well, as said before, im still waiting on the ESC, which is the only part i need to get this running, but Mike says any day now, so fingers crossed. Even though i have all the parts i couldn't help getting some bling for the truck when the opportunity arose I have replaced the plastic links on the rear upper racerX arms with aluminium links from an OFNA Dominator. I also scored some new UE wheels with tyres off of ebay for cheaper than my 40 series wheels/tyres cost me Anyway, here are the pics!













I personally like the F-150 shell over the truggy style shell with the new rims installed.

cheers

Wow, $61 for a set of UE alum wheels, thats quite a bargain, good work Jordan.

good to hear that you're getting better.

keep us in the loop.

Looks real good Jordan. Let me know if you need a spare set of the Ofna link. I just got a set. They're blue in color but I plan on stripping them using EZ Off oven cleaner and then tapping them once I receive the left hand tap my brother sent to me.

Thanks guys and Lito, i reckon those links should go on your Gmaxx

[plettenbergs]

the directional turbines are on ass-backerds!...the tread is right but the wheel are pointing differant ways!...details-details!...good job #2

[lutach]

Jordan,

That one good looking truck my friend. Those drive shafts looks awesome. Keep them away from lincpimp though, he might use them to do strange things . I love the center motor concept and most of you know that. I hope to see a video soon of your beast running.

I noticed that, but the tyres came already glued, so i just put em on for some pics. I might fix them up tomorrow...

I'm going to put a pair on the display SM. The gmaxx will stay as is, for now . The revo gets most of the runtime nowadays too and my son is complaining so I'm building a brushless revo for myself.

ooh, BL revo, going to go Gorillamaxx again?

So did you get your MGM ??

I think it looks better with no body on it (just outstanding craftsmanship ) but if you must cover it, I would defiantly use the truck body.. My two cents sir..

So how's your neck healing ?? are you all back to 100% again

Thanks the for the pics dude your build is just so bitchen to look at.. I cant wait to read about it after it's first major beating.. LOL that should make for fun reading..

Have a great one Sir..

Shaun.

[jordan...]

Not yet, i e-mailed Mike on Friday, and he's still saying any day now...

Definately has to be the truck body with the UE rims, but im looking at it now with the truggy body and Wabash's and i can't decide which is better. I guess its good to be able to change the whole look of the truck, keeps me from getting bored.

Neck's not 100% yet, i'll find out at the end of November when i have a final checkup, have to wait until 3 months after the operation to see how everythings healed up. Still just bumming around 'recovering'

I'm thinking about getting a HPI Baja wing to put on the back just for fun, got some credit at amain i might as well burn

thanks again Shaun

[BL_RV0]

Wow. It looks stunning. I think wabash rims with the truck body look the best.

[jordan...]

Well i did it, just put my order in for the MGM 28025, so it should be here by the middle of next week. I couldn't find the CC 6.5mm bullets in stock anywhere so i just opted for the 5.5mm plugs, i think they should be able to hold up, fingers crossed. Updates to come as soon as it arrives!!
