|  A rare vehicle (56K warned)
I figured I should post this up in case there's somebody lurking around here who still uses the stock chassis. And it really is rare. Specs: -TLT axles -Tamiya Carbon Frame -Junfac 12" stretch kit -GMade wideners -Moabs -Integy lathe 55T -Futaba S3305 servo -Topcad aluminum spur hub And what thread is complete without pictures?      It actually performs better than one would expect. The carbon chassis helps a good deal, along with the lead weights. To anyone else running a TLT tranny, an aluminum spur hub is a good thing to get, because it reduces spur gear wobbling significantly. About the Junfac stretch kit, you have to put pieces of fuel tubing/foam/whatever in the outdrives of the differential to space them properly. Otherwise, they can hit the outdrives and limit suspension travel. I'd say it's a success for spending around 150$ on it. P.S. Sorry for poor pictures, still a bit new to photography. |

Nice... I still have the original chassis Max Climber. I have cut the chassis down, made my own 4 link suspension, am running Maxx shocks, Moabs... but I'm still using the TLT Belt drive. I stopped working on it when I got the AX-10, but just last night I started playing around with a droop suspension on it. Just cobbed together with no oil in the shocks it still performed as well as the Scorpion. I was shocked... and now I am going to put some effort into the build. With a 55T motor and the stock drive... it is about the perfect combination of crawlability and wheel speed! What I'd like to do is take it to a comp to see if old school can still hang...  |

Cool that it was able to compete with the Axial. Any pictures? And what gearing are you running? I'm using a 15 tooth pinion and 96 tooth spur. How do the max shocks work? I'm a bit tired of the stock ones. |

Not sure about the tooth count. I'll check later. It's torn down but I'll post some pics tonight. The Maxx shocks are perfect either sprung or droop. I used the red springs in back and the black springs in front. That helped get rid of twist.
