I do. http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/sho...15&pagenumber=1
search threw the thread. It has some on there. It shows it in the early stages. I have some of the skids to. I run the back gmaxx extension. The front was made. It takes the 100.5 ue dogbone just like the back. If you buy the back top extension plate will give you the exact length you need for front top. use it as a template. I beat a rear skid flat then trimmed it down for the front.

If you give me long enough. I can give you a weight on a monster gt. I putting a emaxx tranny on it.

I saw a used racebomb for $75 with the braces and all, I thought about picking that one up. But I decided G-Maxx would be my next choice.

That is a good price. I got my torpedo for $45 shipped so I couldn't pass it up. Will use it for now until I save up for the G-maxx and talk coolhandcountry into showing me how to extend it... LOL. I just like a longer truck. I have almost got this together and just figuring out all the wiring and placement. I need to order some g-maxx battery straps from Mike. That is the only thing the torpedo didn't come with is the battery holders.

Here are a couple pics of where I am at. I still have to install my rpm towers, new skids, run all the wiring and figure out what tooth pinion to order. My Warrior came with the heat shrink removed. Is electical tape ok to wrap it back with and is there anything I'm missing that you guys see?

Electrical tape should be fine to use, but make sure that the heatsink can breathe. I noticed that you have Tamiya connectors on your batteries! Those MUST go!

Use heatshrink. I wouldn't use tape since that will get loose after time and trap debry on the loose tape survice since it's still sticky. But if you do wrap it in heatshrink, make some space for the heatsink.

I have the deans plugs, just haven't swapped them over yet. I will try and find some heat shrink to use on it.

also, not sure if you know it but your black bec jumper is missing or not on there.

MaxxBashers · 10.01.2005, 04:24 PM

yeah, I did notice that... Can someone please explain to me what it is for? I have read on here several people asking about its location to add or remove the jumper, but can't find anywhere that tells me exactly what it is or what the difference is with it off or on. Also does anyone have a pic of their 9920 wired? I read the description Mike put up, but I'm a visual guy. I need to SEE it to understand it.

with the bec jumper off you will have to run a reciever pack or a ubec because when removed it disables the bec thus letting you use a external source to power the servos.
