MIP CVD's in rear
Front and rear spool lockers

Your running gear rivals mine, now you just need a chassis like mine. Take a peek on my avatar.

ya, actually, it crawls very well, u just need some skill (me ) Im always learning about new ways to get grip and such reading my Offroad adventures magazines. If you go the the section called Four Wheel Finesse, in some of the issues, it talks about the best way to get grip and why it works. Sometimes its for mud, rocks, snow, sand, hills etc. But it all applies to RC crawling as well, as i have found out with my emaxx

Maybe if i can sometime, i could scan a few pages of it and post them somewhere in the forums, if that ok with u, jason

I remember with my old maxxzilla, I could do some pretty intense trails. it just took a special kind of driving.

[Phantez]

ya, in a park we have here, it would be pretty intense too. I have yet to take my emaxx up there (im gunna try to get over there tomarrow). The trail is about the width of the emaxx and a half, a lot of it is flat, but in spots, there insane roots that would be crazy hard to drive over. Right at the start the trail goes up at about maybe 45 to 55 degree angle over roots, and its at that angle for about 20 feet. with a 1 foot ledge to climb up at the top. Im afraid im gunna tip backwards off that and ruin my new body.... i cant wait!

[Tuffguy]

take that pretty lid off there and climb that hill! I want pics I want pics of some serious carnage of the emaxx variety!

[Tuffguy]

oh btw sweet ride dood

[Phantez]

alright, if i can get a ride up there from my mom, ill climb it. and see if she will take the pix of it.

[MaxxZilla]

Break it...The only thing I think he will break is the stock sliders.

OOOH YAAA! I JUST REMEMBERED!! Last week in school we went down to this creek for some science thing (All i did the entire class was skip rocks as far as i could instead of taking notes ) and along the bank, was a KILLER rock crawling spot, i think its even better than alot of places i see on here, and ya... thats right... its in Iowa. Just gotta be carefull not to roll into the water . Im gunna go there instead. Ill go to the other place maybe next weekend er something. ILL TAKE PIX!

Hey I have an E-Maxx like yours with spools and I just got that body and painted the running boards, diamond plate, fenders, and the hardtop black. Then I'm going to paint the main body a Light Metallic Blue. Anway I do have some more mods that you maybe that you want to do. By the way how much flex do u have cause the shocks and a-arms I have gave me 4 more inches of flex. Anway here's some of the stuff I did to my suspension

Team Factory Aluminum Shocks
RPM Wide A-Arms
T-Maxx Turnbuckles

[Phantez]

actually, i got some BFG's a while back, i dont have any pix with them on, but it looks mean! lol. I also got the chrome stock emaxx rims with them by accident but i looks good anyways.

I dont remember exactly how much flex i have, i think it was like 7-8 inches er something, but i dont have time measure rite now, im supposed to be mowing the lawn and im taking a quick break. Gotta go!
