| 1:6 Maxx Based H1
Lets see if i can stick with this one guys, its been a couple years since ive built anything lol. Started with a $3 score on the hummer, and $50 for an old .15 t-maxx. Add some aluminum, sanding and primer and this is what ive got so far. The chassis is not done, need to order some parts for the rear. |

I'm going to watch this build, I have a bunch of T-maxx parts that I received from a friend as a basket case, and I need some ideas. I look forward to seeing how you build it.

Yes 3 bucks lol. Goodwill and yardsales are awesome, I bought a 1:6 jesse james silverado for 3 bucks a few years ago. The 1:6 H2 above was 5 bucks.

Decided to go with 2.2/3.0 sc wheels to clear the maxx knuckles. Went with these as the hex design looked really easy to modify as well, since the maxx pins are a bit larger than 10th scale pins. Trimmed the tire and glued right to the inside edge of the wheel instead of in the bead, gave the tire a bit wider look to it which i like better. |

Thats how the hex is shaped, one of the reasons i went with these as the hex was included with the wheels and was very easy to modify to fit the larger pins.

Looks pretty damn scale I like it. The fullsize H1's are independent suspension. The maxx fits good. Too bad there's no portals.

I would say either the summit 2 speed or a Tamiya 3 speed. If you have the room run an axial ax10 trans with a dig unit as a transfer case. That way you can have multiple gears and dig on a crawler/basher or trail truck. This makes me want a H1 body.

Maxxs' are very stout to begin with. Personally I don't think I would trust an axial transmission as a center case. I say a 2spd summit trans. I think that sucker will bolt right in them rails right? VW, can you post a link to the tamiya 3 speed you are referring to? |
