Spyder diffs

[Sneeck]

Some, but you have to find one. It's hard to find a used vbs in good nick, let alone find one for less than 350.

Well, I meant the no. of screws the whole chassis of an e-maxx might take. HeHe, does not matter. About the 8 diff spyder..is it for F/R a set or one set for one end?

[Sneeck]

That's for 1 diff. You'll need 2 of them.

[captain harlock]

So the CG of the FLM chassis is not as good as the G-maxx chassis, huh? for speed runs I might need a very low clearance to add more center of gravity to the chassis. This way I might be able to rach higher speeds.

[Sneeck]

That's where the racer x come's into play. It handles so much better over a normal type suspension. Used with the racer x shock's you can make one sweet handeling truck even with a high cog'd chassis.

Just to make thing's clear, you can easely race this type of chassis's. For a straight line speed run it doesn't make a difference. The lowered battery plate come's into it's own at a track, or if you want to run tight corner's at high speed.

i recommended the gorilla chassis because they are VERY durable and make the truck handle like its on rails. i am not really a fan of the stock type chassis' but if i were to get one i would definately go flm and i recommended the racer-x suspension for one thing is if you bash, the true track rear suspension comes in handy; less things to break. i.e. the rear turbuckles. also, i would suggest the powerstroke shocks. they are probably one of the best.

The UE racerX suspensions need cvds. What are the cvds I'm supposed to use with them? should I get the 70mm or 100mm dog bones?

[Sneeck]

You need the 2.5 version cvd's. Not sure about dogbone's.

Oh cvd booties are also a nice thing to get. And some dry lube for the cvd's and servo saver.

i recommended the gorilla chassis because they are VERY durable

why do you say that??

the FLM chassis is a league on it's own.. it has got a higher CG, (more ground clearance, nice for bashers)

And when it comes to weight/quality, nothing beats 4 UE shocks..

[squeeforever]

i admit that the flm is in a league of its own as for durability but i would just prefer a gorillamaxx. even if i only bashed. and for the shocks its just my opinion but i think ue is a bit over rated and expensive although good. i have the powerstrokes and i dont think it gets any better. if you bash i would think 8 prolines would be better than 4 ue because the prolines have the 4 dampers or bypass shocks which help with really big jumps (what i would do if i only bashed still). just my .02 cents.

[Sneeck]

Over rated? No, they are that good. I love them, best shock's i've ever owned.

Let's put it this way - gmaxx and flm are both good chassis, same with the ue racer x shock's and proline powerstroke's. Whichever you chooise, you won't be dissapointed.

[captain harlock]

Well, that sounds good, indeed.
The ones that Mike has on this site( Ue cvds I mean), is it suitable for the RacerX suspension kit?

[Sneeck]

EXT version is a direct fit for the new 2.5 Maxx (Traxxas WideMaxx Suspension)

Yes, they will fit the racer x.

[captain harlock]

Are the RacerX and EXT suspensions equal in width?

[squeeforever]

yes
