Maxx crawler prospect?
 

I have a lot of T-Maxx and E-Maxx build experience under my belt. All my maxx trucks are now gone, save for a pair of good diffs. So, I thought I'd like to try a different twist here. I'm thinking of a mostly stock buildup, with T-Maxx roller, with a severely lightened aluminum chassis plate, but running a Stampede transmission (because I have one). It would also have 12mm hex drives, so I can run some of my on hand 2.2" wheels.

I'm sure this has been done in some form or another. Any pointers?

Why run a maxx chassis?

Cheap and easy, that's the only reason.

Sounds like your doin like I did for a basher. Email me cuz I don't want to post pics of a non-crawler on here. I have a stampede tranny on a t-maxx chassis with a custom aluminum chassis plate. Don't kno how u were planning on mounting the tranny but the stock t-maxx upper deck has a huge hole where I think you would want to mount the stampede tranny--no where to screw it in.

Oh...and not all 2.2 wheels will fit over the stock 2.5 t-maxx carriers. The ones I have from stock rustlers and some aftermarket ones wouldn't fit. I ended up making custom tires/wheels for mine. Cut and shut stock maxx tires with narrowed rims. This was on a basher I remind you.
