Well I have collected parts and ordered everything i need to make it happen.
Post Comments!!

My first Mock up pics:

My parts ive collected over some time:

And heres my Lathe mounted on the chassis with brand new Trinity No Solder Leads and a new 13 tooth Traxxas pinion:

Update: I had cut the body a little bit to make room the the axles to articulate and I made the body lets plain and put a bumper in front and added some stickers.
I have also shaved the bulkheads to make room the the servo mounts to bolt up. GOOD NEWS!! Chassis, Solid Axles KIt, Servo, Tekin Rebel 2, and my Revo Shafts are in the mail ready to get here.

Pics of Bulkheads and some more mock up pics:

I also ordered a nice pair of 4 inch aluminum shocks from Integy. Should be here next week. Look back for updates!

Looking great so far. What size Spur gear are you running?

Eclipse · 07-24-2005, 09:02 PM

I believe its a 64 tooth and 32 Pitch.

wana crawler · 07-24-2005, 10:11 PM

getin er done boy. lookin good. like those tires and rims.

fuzzhead · 07-24-2005, 10:20 PM

was over at his place today. should be quite a rig when its done.

one question ryan....

WHATS UP WITH THE BUMPER???????

Eclipse · 07-24-2005, 10:46 PM

it makes it look mean and i always use what i have. and plus, it doesnt look as dumb now because i losed it up so its level with the body.

USATorque55 · 07-24-2005, 11:31 PM

Very cool.

Why are you using two motors. If your using a super chicken i guess it makes sense. If you've modded the EVX only use one Lathe.

Looks cool, I just killed a hub on my Maxx, thats such an annoyance.

hes not using two motors. the other lathe in the picture currently resides in my tlt. in the more recent pics he shows only one motor bolted up. he also said that he has a tekin rebel 2 on the way.

JamisonWorkshop · 07-25-2005, 12:07 PM

Looka good. What type of chassis link setup are you going with. any progress on that? How do you like the LST's

Eclipse · 07-25-2005, 12:19 PM

i plan on using a 4 link design and im just waiting for everything to come. im loving the LST's they should work great once i glue them or get beadlocks.

Eclipse · 07-31-2005, 08:12 PM

I returned to the lake with 5 packages to finish my maxx crawler! I had problems but overcame most of them. one of the magor problems is my steering. the servo moves around so i need new servo mounts for that. and here are some pics of it ALL DONE!

And whats a better bday than having ur maxx crawler done?!?!

Looks good man. Congrats on the build and on the birthday.

wings_west · 07-31-2005, 08:48 PM

Dude your rig is awesome !!!

Where did you get your chasis and axle kit ? Did you buy your links and if so where did you get those too ? Where are the 4 aluminum shocks

Eclipse · 07-31-2005, 08:56 PM

i had the chassis and solid axles kit made for me by JeepJunky. Give him a PM and tell him I sent you! As for the aluminum shocks, they are red and on order from Integy. Comments are Welcome. And thanks for the congrats.

mtnbkerman · 07-31-2005, 09:01 PM

love the truck man. Gave me alot of great idea. Very clean work. I have one question thoe, with your design are you able to mount the battery in the front instead of the back and move the speed control to the rear? The only reason i ask is cause i have a design very similar to this and have not followed through with it yet and i am curious.

TwistedCreations · 07-31-2005, 09:06 PM

nice looking.. good job

whatcha gonna do with that other Lathe motor

Eclipse · 07-31-2005, 09:18 PM

mtnbkerman - Yes I am able to mount the battery in the rear but I decided to try it out this way first.

Twisted - Hey thanks for the compliment and about that other lathe motor, It's in Fuzzheads TLT rig.

TwistedCreations · 07-31-2005, 09:24 PM

ahh ok, was just wondering

fuzzhead · 07-31-2005, 11:17 PM

should work great. i hope. the tlt is currently front wheel drive lol

snapped two yokes trying to get the metal thingys in. so i have to wait for the lhs to get more. should be by wed. or thurs.

JamisonWorkshop · 08-01-2005, 06:18 AM

Looking great. Hope that servo lasts you a long time. Now I have some pics to show my Emaxx buddies of what they need to make.
