For my spare parts maxx build I plan on welding extensions to the pillow balls and tie rods instead of buying extended hexes though.

Kershaw designs had a setup with longer pillow balls to widen the maxx suspension.

I think that with 1/8 components a 1/5 size vehicle can be made that stays well under 20lbs. A 1717 or 1527 motor on 8s lipo (40c packs, 4000mah or so to keep the weight down) and motor brakes with 4wd would be fine.

I may weld up some tubular arms to widen the lst setup. Just need to find a suitable cv axle that I can buse it off. Would use al c hubs and knuckles on the front and al carriers on the rear. Lst shocks seem fine. Or use the baja ones.
