[plettenbergs]

i have an new EMAXX you dudes will dig!...I think it is the most EXPENSIVE emaxx on the planet EARTH!...how do i upload a picture?

[DrKnow65]

Open an account on photobucket.com (free and reliable), then upload your pic's there. Then when you post here you can insert an image ( the little mountain looking button next to the insert a hyperlink button), copy the http address from photobucket and paste it on the http address slot.

Be careful about claiming the "most expemsive emaxx" unless you have actually checked out some of the insane emaxx's on this site... 12S lipo's, $300 neu's, aluminum everything, $500 esc's, beadlocks, custom painted bodies, ect.

[DrKnow65]

Oh yah, use the "direct link" http address from photobucket.

[satttheman]

Welcome to the forum, and I do believe that we have seen that truck before. If you don't mind us asking, where did you acquire this rig? Did you recently purchase that on the Bay or something? Just curious...

[plettenbergs]

I have been working on it for 2 years!...I have several other SHOW & GO rides...I am an ULUMINUM junky!...this truck did not come from the BAY!...did one like this sell,How Much?

[JerryF504]

That's incredible.

[jnev]

Thats absolutely awesome. Such a sick truck.

After spending that much money on the truck though, I just can't imagine why you wouldn't go lipo? Its lighter, and you'll have more power.

[suicideneil]

Not in 1 piece... anything like that gets bought up by a chop-shop and parted out usually; the chassis alone is worth $800 these days.

What gearing do you run normally, and got any close up pics, say of the tranny area and front and rear ends- detail man, I need detail! lol.

That probably is one of the most expensive setups I have ever seen though, do you live on the UE forum normally?...

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

Sweet, did you paint that body?

[plettenbergs]

i also collect custom painted bodies!...i do like th UE site!...I will get some close-ups tomorrow.

With all that aluminum, and those motors, weight is not of a primary concern. Besides, it doesnt need to be light to pose for pictures!

There have been a few of these trucks around for a while now, but few sell as whole trucks. They seem to fetch more money in pieces, because few people want to spend that much money at one time buying a truck that was built by someone else. The UE lightning is a major work of art when it is fully built and a hugely fun project. I have enjoyed building mine and managed to purchase most of it through the Bay when one guy decided to get out of the hobby before finishing his project. His loss, my gain.

I am a metal junkie as well. I have only been in the hobby for three years, but I am a retired Mechanic and an avid carpenter who loves building things that will out last me. Strong, fast, quality, and hopefully beautiful is what I try to produce in everything that I build. We have seen a lot of different vehicles over the years, and in my opinion the SuperMaxx is at the top of the heap. It is versitile, and beautifully designed. Robin did a great job with that one. Your double Plat setup is one of the best that I have seen and probably the most powerful as well. Nice work. You must be very proud of that one.

I started out on the UE site, but things have gotten kind of quiet lately with the lack of R/C parts available to the public. So this is where I spend a lot of my time now. People here seem to be much more passionate here about the hobby in general. Plus this site is targeted towards brushless power. It can be pretty complicated up front, but much simpler to operate on the track.
