s Dont mean to be a negater, Those are nice builds of Robins parts. Now you're going to fashion your own, no offence but those dont even look driven once. Dont mean to be mean as I love it, but have you even fired up the pletty/lighteneing yet ? What if it drives like turd is why they stopped makiing it.

I don't care if does! I'm a maxx maniac, have built about a dozen, and will build this one for speed and looks, with Nic Case's 140mph 1521 (yep, I'm a name dropper)

Those reasons for being in this hobby and the way those folks have defined the fulfilment of their hobby needs are great...and naturally those aspects of the hobby require a specific set of RC knowledge and skills.
I have a couple of RTR "turds" that I bash the snot out of and don't really even clean or maintain them. It is fun. However, all of my $2K-$3K+ RCs (I currently have about five) are pretty much a continuous work in progress. For me the hobby is about trying to build the best RC I can...finding the best mixture of components for the best (as I have defined it) performance. Sure I run them...but you won't see them taking the big jumps at the track. The best part of the hobby for me is the building process...in particular building these types of custom trucks. I only wish I could airbrush and paint my own shells  .
Please sign me...I would like to buy one of these chassis. How do I get one?

I concurr. I drive my truck through mud and crap (damn dogs and seagulls), but I always clean it up afterwards- think of these trucks as trophy wives; they always look stunning and perfect, but that doesnt mean they arent 'goers'...

Hey Matt, is your direct drive compatible with the existing Strobe slipper or do I need to get your 8mm ones too?

Hey Lito,
if the hole in the center of the strobe slipper is 8mm you can use it...but you will have to use my pressure plates!...the chassis comes complete with RR slipper,slipper pads and custom pressure plates!!  ....i am using the smaller RR slipper(66-70 tooth only)...did this answer your ??

It's great to know that the 8mm slipper plates, pads, and slipper are included. That definitely answered my questions. I'll just keep the Strobes as spare for my other truck. Thank you.
On another note, can you pm me the cost of a separate slipper system because I might have to get one as spare so I don't have to worry about shipping.

I prefer not polished, to keep the cost down, and I drive the crap outta my trucks so it will get scratched. It could possibly be an option for more money??
Also- You said you had the mgt rr slipper. Is it too large or will it bolt up? With the power people will put on these chassis' the mod1 mgt spur will be much more reliable than the 32pitch maxx spur.
