I will beat the snot out of these two Supermaxxes as well, because that's what they are being built for! If I break something, I will find a replacement, and thenbeat on it some more!

Here's pics of the nitro SM...

it's all metal - and metal bends, and wears down over time (and abuse). and i DID manage to bend and gouge the crap out of some arms, which i replaced with UE while parts were still available. for me, it was all about replacement availability. if i have a part that needs replacing, and that does happen with UE, i don't want to search the 4 corners of the earth for a replacement.

in the end i was offered $2,600 for just the roller from billy's trucks. that's about what i put into it, with a little profit. that's about the only time that can be done with r/c's, so UE has that going for it.

Nice supermaxx. However, you are using the fake setback arms

that shock tower design is amazing clodmaxx. it is unlike anything out there but it looks like it is stronger than anything out there. I am starting to see why everybody thinks this comany is the holy grail of rc parts

Chadworkz · 06.16.2009, 05:32 PM

I don't mind tracking down parts, in fact, I enjoy it...heh!

UE parts are hands down the toughest I've owned. I had two Supermaxxes, 1 was a Maxx hybrid back in the day. Those parts were expensive then too, but they were still the best on the market.

Robin, if you read this, I hope you're working on patents buddy. I know you'll still be releasing quality parts in the future so I'm not too worried about this.

He has recently released monoblocks, racerX arms and high impact arms. Parts are becoming more plentiful.

There is a thread on UE of someone who broke those VBS towers. I would have a problem damaging a none replaceable $600 part.

...so I'll try the arms and if they get too messed up and I can't replace them I'll put RPM or Flexteks on...

Chadworkz · 06.16.2009, 11:05 PM

Yea, I know, heh...that's why I ordered 4 sets of genuine UE Setbacks and Hi-Impacts from the UE store Sunday night. UPS tracking says they will be here tomorrow.

Chadworkz · 06.17.2009, 07:09 PM

Box-o-parts came today: Setbacks, Hi-Impacts (single-shock), Ultralites, Monoblocks, 6mm stand-offs, VBS/Ultralite setup kits, Ti pillow-balls...full Racer-X should be here tomorrow. Once I find a VBS I will be set to finish both trucks.

Haha, just know that I am never more than 10 feet from one of my pistols...

Kcaz25 · 06.17.2009, 10:53 PM

Chad since you are no longer going with VBS on the Mutant SM (right?) Why don't you get GMaxx towers with real short shocks? Like Revo shocks?

Chadworkz · 06.17.2009, 11:29 PM

You know what, I actually thought about running either Duh Engineering Ti short towers or Gorillamaxx towers, and Ofna Ravager front shocks (identical to Supershocks, just shorter), so I could slam the body all the way down to get it as low as the bottom of the chassis.

Benfits being lower CG. Truggy killer. At truggy runner. Please do it!! I want to see what the Maxx platform still has up its sleeves.
