You need to give way more information. Like what truck you are using, what configuration it currently has...yadda...yadda...yadda.

Well....if you're gonna put plating on, don't use the lightest metal.

On the Maxx a-arms, what if you put JB weld into the webbing? Make it a solid piece and then bolt on some steel plates, top and bottom. It would make those a-arms very heavy. You can then add some BB's into the tires to add more low slung weight.

Dont add more weight, Lengthen the wheelbase.

Is there a way you can relocate the battery/'s to the front? Try just strapping then in somehow to the front of the chassis and see if that helps alot. If so rearange the electronics.

Yep......Bark is most correct......lengthen the wheelbase to about 15-16 inches and it will help tremendously. Then experiment with more weight.

R/C Alloys made a chassis extender for the TMaxx to put in a .21. It was simply a plate that bolted in and moved the rear IFS assembly back, would sumpin like that werk on a E?

I dont have an E so I am unfamiliar.
