Hey man great job

. Your efforts are really begining to show

. That is a very professional looking rig for something being made at home with some simple handtools

. That is the kind of thing that a lot of us would like to manufacture, and having this is a great inspiration to get us going

. Thanks for your work and for the posts to get us off of our asses

. Keep it up "its Me". That thing is going to be the talk of the town when you get it running. We can't wait to see the power plant that you end up installing to push it around the yard. I am sure that you will go through some growing pains trying to get the right setup to satisfy your own desires. Great work Man.

that looks better than any stock machine i've seen. i saw your video of your twin nitro, i can't wait to see video of your twin brushless, you do awesome work!

I hate to ask all the questions but im unsure what the tapered 1/2" PVC you used to fill the gap in the bulks with looks like. Was it a PVC Coupler?

Yup thats all it is! dont be afraid to ask questions man, ask as many as you possible can!! I started this thread to help every one who is looking for a cheap diff option for there T/E maxx's.

Man that was eaiser than i thought it was gonna be.

I ended up needing to being the bluks down a little inside the mounting ring but i think im going to run the plastics for now anyways. my next quest is to get a chassis started. Anyone know what length i should be shooting for, im thinking around 12" between the lower part of the bluks? I'm going to order some 6061 aluminum in 12"x24" sheets thats 3/16" thick. Any suggestions on the chassis?

Tanks for all the help man!

mriccucci · 04.04.2008, 11:32 PM

P.S. Where did you get the metal plate that you used for the chassis? and What thickness is it?

Yup, its super easy to do :). My chassis is made out of 3MM 7075 and were I got it from was a local machine shop.

mriccucci · 04.05.2008, 06:03 PM

Looks like no one in town is going to have the 7075, or even 6061, i think im going to go ahed and order a 12x24" plate from online. I got a losi eight center diff and im going to order the mount and 1/8 diff adapters from mike this week. Speaking of which i emailed him about getting me some of those FLM chassis braces and i haven't heard a peep back yet, anyone know if he's around?

Also its me what shocks are those that you're using? And how do you have the revo arms hooked up on the maxx bulkheads. Im assuming that you shaved the arms to fit the bulks.

Mike is always busy but will get back to you. Reminders seem to help him too, I wouldn't bug him more than once every other day or so. He gets all kinds of e-mails from yahoos and dreamers so multiple requests help him know you're serious. Be patient, his help is worth the wait. If you're making a custom length chassis anyway, why not use losi driveshafts and skip the 1/8 adapters? You could use two fronts, two rears, or a front and a rear for three length choices. Just a thought. L8R
