Put the shocks on the most outer lower mounting positions and most inner on the upper positions, remove all spacers, and hope for the best! A set of 1/2 offset rims would widen the stance abit and that'd help to. A set of road specific tires such as the road rage tires would also help. Of course if your considering getting a different vehicle that would help too! The Maxx series handle like crap and IMO are a PITA to work on. The REVO is a much better handling platform if you want to stick with a MT however if you're just going to be running on the street I would suggest a different route all together! A Truggy may also be a good alternative as they have large tires and decent ground clearence to handle off road but they also have a much lower COG.

I wouldn't call the Revo an MT, more of a truggy with big tires. I would get a 4-Tec or something for the street if thats all you do. I got a couple buggies so I only run my brushless Maxx now when I play on my track in the back yard. It never sees the streets anymore.


The answer is no. And yes, mine is faster.

There is a fine line between MT and Truggy but the REVO is a MT. A Truggy has a plate chassis with everything mounted on top of it, much less ground clearence and lower COG. A REVO has the diffs below the chassis, more ground clearence and a much higher COG.

Took out the spacers and man the thing turns on a dime now. I can do a 180 at top speed again. Thanks for the ideas. I may try some of the others as time permits. So I guess the only downfall is that I really cant jump it to much now as it seems to bottom out qucker.
I'm guessing a truggy would mean another nitro conversion. I have done several of them and am just kinda burned out on it. As much as I like running them the emaxx is the only vehicle I have ever put a brushless motor on that hasnt fallen apart from the power of the motor. My nitro conversions have also gotton pretty expensive and the maintenance seems to be a bit more.

good to hear you can do a 180 at top speed. i can say you were still lucky to go 3/4 throttle and still do a 180.
im running a 7xl as well geared for 44mph. with my setup, i can only go like 15mph on turns on concrete. any faster any itll flip. i have stiffer springs and thicker oil. when i tried using the stock springs, the sag was CRAZY. i dont know how you can run your truck with the stock springs. i have lipos so its lighter than nimhs. i guess the chevrons have very weak traction or something. im using the losi zombies and they have too much traction.

Yeah I have noticed ever since I made those changes I do have quite a bit of sag, but its the only thing that keeps it from flipping over so I will live with it. I bought another emaxx for doing some offroading and am using this one for street running only. Too bad we cant have the best of both worlds.
The more I look at my new street I hate it. The stuff they put on top is like sand paper. I'm starting to notice the tires getting worn down and chipped, where before I was running without a problem.
