It may still be a while before he sees any of them completed, but he is still working the matter and remains hopeful.

Cool, that's good to hear, I'm definitely still down for one. Bummer that the shop has been pushing this project back for so many months already.

It looks like a awesome truck but why isnt the motor towards the front . With the definate possibility of the truck doing wheelies with brushless power all the time. My g-4 maxx with setbacks comes up all the time with ease @ 30 mph and it has more weight forward than the maxxler. If it was possible I think designing it so the motor toward the front would of been a definate design improvement. What is the number of teeth on the spur it looks really big and is it steel with nitride coating or some sort of brass alloy.

hey River,
i changed several other things about the maxxler but not the motor position...too much of a pain in the ass...my chassis will not have the titanium nitride coateD spur...it will come with the 68 or 72 tooth RR spur gear...they are cheap and easy for anyone to replace...mine will have STROBE!
"Controlled" wheelies are fun as hell anyway!
I want to see a 100mph whelie!

I just want to see 100mph but a wheelie could be catastrophic and be costly.

I HEARD THAT!
i hope you have some extra bodies and wheels/tires, there is bound to be some small incidents as you aproach 100 ? those tires are the RIGHT move,they seem a little skinny,i thought they would be wide like a Lambo or Porsche 911?

In this case where I am not trying to corner skinny is lighter and more arrowdynamic. Bsr made them special and they told me how wide they need to be for best performance.
