I agree w/you...no way that is worth the $ they are asking for that chassis.

Thanks for the help so far guys. I really wanted to avoid getting an extended chassis, because I don't have the 3.3 conversion on my Maxx and didn't really want to have to buy all new CVD's, knuckles, and whatever else, and it just wouldn't look right with an extended chassis and not being widened at all. Not to mention that if I bought anything that cost as much as that SuperMaxx chassis, my girl would probably confiscate my debit card from me, permanently.....

However, I did find this, anyone know if these are any good? -

East End Machining

SO MANY DIFFERENT COLORS TO CHOOSE!!!

I am really thinking about getting one of those East End Machining ones if you guys think its decent, I just want something stronger than stock but same length.

But what color should I get? Maybe black anodized and use a dremel along the edges, would look pretty trick IMO.

Cheaper to get the FLM chassis - and likely a better product down the road. ALl you need to change would be the center sliders, and for that all you'd need are traxxas 3.3 center's (not CVD's).
