Update: NEW PARTS DX6 Radio RC4WD 2 speed tranny but I don't like that the shift rod has no flat spot or hole to help connect a shift link to for the servo. ( emailed RC4WD, But no reply yet ) But it is spring loaded so it's stays in one gear until it is pushed inward. REVo shafts ebay, 4 @$25. Found my 3/4" Speakers so I can have TOONS when Crawling I'll plug these into my IPOD shuffle under the hood . It may be awhile for this build, we just bought a house :-P and so have to Pack up , move in July-Aug and set up my new Garage :-P Here's some pics Last edited by toy4crawlin; 06-10-2007 at 10:53 PM. |

Not that I am really interested in Maxx crawlers, but this build is pretty sweet so far! I love all the custom touches everywhere.

although it's not really a maxx, guess I could have stuck it in a different thread ? the only traxxas parts used are the revo drive shafts. Found me some Rock lights and head lights :-P after searching electronic stores with no success I went to ebay and spent $24. on a pack of 20 Blue LED's and and $20. on a pack of 50 White (non wired). I have lots of these for sale Last edited by toy4crawlin; 06-09-2007 at 10:35 PM. | |

We just bought our first house and just moved in last week, Remodel still not Finished . Waiting on new garage door Too ! Garage is full of box's and house parts , it's chios ! It will be slow going Because I have a Modified Twin Stick to start mass Producing and get it out to all the guys waiting on it Last edited by toy4crawlin; 07-23-2007 at 11:03 AM. |

Can you give us some info on the speakers? How are you going to wire them into a headphone jack? And where did you get them?

Speakers from an old friend, no idea where they came from. But they have those Rc rappin trucks at Toy r us with the big wheels and radio, so you could part it out. If they Do not sound good then I'll buy Ipod portable speakers Last edited by toy4crawlin; 06-22-2009 at 11:57 AM. | |

Need some help here the Site MSC where I bought the thermo plastic rod ends does not identify them as LEFT thread, so I need a left thread hex nut. Any sources where I can find a 10/32 left thread nut already tried Mc Caster, Olander and MSC thanks |
