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

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??

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

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.

You are on the list.

..do you want VBS or standard bulk-head version?

Thanks Matt

. The standard Maxx bulk kit will work fine for me. I like using the RCM hybrid bulks with the HPI lightning hardened diff gear setup. Any word on when you can expect the finished product? I know it is out of your hands so to speak, but will it be in the New Year, sooner, or even later? My birthday is 07/Feb.....

I can get the money at any time, but if I have an advance ball park time estimate I can keep from making other purchases so as to keep the money handy

. Buying R/C gear is a none stop thing for me.

Is this your own custom design, or did you pick this up from someone else that made it? I may have missed it, but I have not seen anything explaining exactly where this chassis came from to start with. I remember seeing it a little while back and I was instantly impressed with the layout of your truck. I am not a big fan of carbon fiber R/C parts. All though it does look pretty cool, I prefer metal parts in my trucks for strength and durability. If it has to have some carbon fiber in it, then I will just have to make aluminum copies of those parts. If there is any way to get all aluminum that would be great to.

Thanks for the assistance Matt with getting this one of a kind setup reproduced, and into our hands. This is a cool thing you are doing. A lot of guys will be greatful

, and even more will be jealous once that door is closed.
