| TheMerc's Roc-Max... Here is a brief take on my Roc-Max build. New narrow version of the Roc-Max chassis that I bought from alabamaman here on the forum. I have added brushless power from Hyperion, Quark and Pro-Match. Running a 5 volt, 7 amp regulator for the two Tuborix high torque, metal geared digi-servos. Radio system is a Spektrum DX-6. Body will be a self painted MGT. More to come... |

| Very nice, I look now to build a Maxx crawler but I’m not sure of the best configuration. Which is the advantage of a stick frame versus one 4 standard link. [FONT=Times New Roman]Thanks[/COLOR] Last edited by Sunkist; 03-19-2007 at 06:57 PM. |

Sunkist, the chassis choice is all yours. The 4-Link is a good choice too. Build one of each. rhhmaxx, running 15/72 the pinion is a 32P-15T for a 5mm motor shaft from www.rc4wd.com |

| Body On...
KFX700, I already did, I bought it from a guy here on the forum. Thanks for the comments guys. If anyone wants to know more about the Roc-Max http://www.etechhobbies.com/ I was very sorry to see them stop making these before I had a chance to get one. I was lucky to find a narrow version in unused condition Here are some pics with the body mounted and about ready for paint... Last edited by themerc64; 03-21-2007 at 12:23 AM. |

Thanks for the interest and kind words. The wheels were purchased through Tower Hobbies and I'm sorry to say that this model has been sold, so there are no finished pics with the body painted.
