Nice collection Jerry!! I like the way you have them stored. Very ingenious.

Hey Jerry,

FINALLY, that Lightning sure is sexy, love the silver/blue thing you've got going on. Also like those deep dish wheels. Great to finally see these monsters

Thank you Jordan. Yea those are the aluminum wheels I picked up a while back thinking that I was going to use them, but now I have the Axial beadlocks to torture. The deepdish aluminum wheels will be strictly for show now. I really like the lightning as well. I just put the double monoblock on last night and I hope to turn it into the highspeed project. Glad you like.

Double mono? wow, so im guessing your just going to fab up some plates to join them together. Can't wait to see how that turns out, is that hi-speed machine going to be with the Bigmaxx?

JERRY2KONE · **No Plates. -** 11.23.2008, 08:36 AM

No plates needed. I had to a little bit of grinding to get two of them to fit together, but then it bolts right up to the truck. I am actually thinking about getting one of their "Bollito" motors for that. I have to do some more research before making a final decision. I will probably pick up one of Lutach's high voltage controllers for it as well. Yea this one is going to be fun.

Sorry, i read that but totally forgot, one of those Bolido's would be absolute bada$$, i say go for it

Dual BigMaxximum's might scoot down the road?
Nice collection buy the way!

Jerry, I keep wanting to tell you the bolido is waaay too big for a maxx sized truck, yet I really want to see it done. You could get equal power for less money, but the bolido shares the same cool machining the big maxx does, but bigger! I'll be watching..........

Hey there Harold nice seeing you up and about on here, and thanks for your advice. I know it is a BIG motor, but this will be no normal Maxx either for sure. Plus I have enjoyed doing a lot of research on all of this, and one thing that just jumps out at me is how cool it is when you have the biggest, baddest, meanest machine on the planet. There are plenty of Maxx R/C trucks out there, and we have seen just about everything imaginable done to these things. The only thing that will catch our eye anymore is something that is a little bit different and even a bit odd or overboard. Look at Shauns battle truck for instance. It is crazy, but what a cool project. I may need some kind of custom made motor mount for it, but even that is doable.

I have an extended UE Lightning chassis with TWO monoblocks installed, and widetrack suspension. I just setup the Axial beadlocks balanced with street tires, Plus every drivetrain part will be made of some kind of steel alloy or titanium for strength. I may run into some troubles along the way and you may be right about the Bolido just being too much for the Maxx tuck, but if I can get this thing to hook up the right way I should be able to get some serious speeds out of it and maybe even surprize myself with it. So it is do or die for my high speed SuperMaxx project. If it dies I will turn it into something a little bit more subtle or spread the parts out into some of my other trucks. No loss no gain.

Actually I wish that I was close enough to be able to share this project up close and personal with some of you guys on here, so I can lean on the expertice that is here on RCM. Trying to get these projects perfect would be a lot easier if all of the info was not just on line, if you know what I mean. I have not been a part of any kind of group hobby thing since I was in my teens, and that was a few years ago

. I do appreciate your concerns Harold, and I do know the cost of failure

. At the very worst if it is too much motor for me I can sell it second hand through this site. I am sure that someone will take it off of my hands for a reduced price. So whats the harm in trying???

You've got a great attitude Jerry. I'm in the states, but still really don't have anyone to share this hobby with, atleast not at the RCM level. The only hobby shop in my area didn't know what a feigao was until I showed them one. I'm glad this forum exists, so us like minded individuals can share our interests. I'm hoping to get one of plettenbergs one-off chassis' and building a speed maxx myself. I can't wait to see what comes of all this. -Harold

JERRY2KONE · **Thanks Harold. -** 11.30.2008, 11:07 AM

Thank you Harold for sharing your thoughts in all of this. Every time I see your posts on here I cannot help but think of the position that you are in, and I am truly grateful for where I am in life, and the blessings that I have. I admire your fortitude and your spirit towards life. You are always helpful and positive to anyone and everyone (except lincpimp of course) and we are all fortunate to have such friendship considering your setbacks in life. So thank you for your support young man. And what is this about a Plettenberg Maxx chassis??? Does Plettenberg make a chassis for the Maxx truck line? or have I misunderstood your meaning??

_paralyzed_ · 11.30.2008, 12:41 PM

Just a slight misunderstanding. An RCM forum member goes by the handle "plettenbergs". He has a maxxler chassis, as far as I know there are only two in the world. He took said chassis to a machinist to have made, and I'm on the short list to receive one! Info about the chassis can be found here:http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15663

JERRY2KONE · **Thanks -** 11.30.2008, 06:17 PM

Thanks Harold for clearing that one up. I just sent Matt a PM as well now that you showed that to me. I remember you pointing that chassis out to me once before, but I did not know that he was having some made. That is a very cool chassis, and it will make a nice addy to our collections.
