| re You might want to go with a lathe motor (one) instead of two huge maxx motors, this will help lower your c.o.g. that is a biggie. loose the huge evx go with something smaller thaty only wants one batt.or search on how tto use one batt. on your speed controll (it can be done) I have an evx w/two 55turn lathes on my clod crawler and a single 55turn on mt rocmaxx |

| actually those links came like that lol thats actually a modified clod chassis and the motor and the esc are only temporary for right now and the ratio is a little off im running a 13t pinion and the 75(?)t spur so its off slightly but i still need to lock the tranny and the axles but thats not to bad for a first timer  |

| you can make the evx use just one battery by wiring the positive lead to the negative lead on one of the battery connections. |

| i thin keveryone can get those links cuz i think i saw them like on a clod buster kinda website devoted to only clod parts for the stock and modified clod chassis`....but i was also looking at them and i`m sure u could make them at home i mean to me all it is is just like a solid aluminum stock with the sides kinda grinded down to a flat surface...drill your holes and them thread them and i`m sure everyone could get the same result thats just my .02 though but thanx to eveyone i got ALL my info on here and i`m ready to strap on a new lathe 55t motor and modify my evx to run a single 3000 pack...so thanx for all the encouraging comments and suggestions |

| yea...i was out in the garage working on my maddmaxx crawler...and it was looking kinda rough around the edges sort of speaking and i was watching Mad Max on tv and i always liked that movie and i figured its not the nicest looking rig but the name will suit it just nicely lol and the motor and esc mod will be done soon...still have some things i`m going to change on it so when the time comes i`m gonna crawl it and let everyone know how it does  |

| have you thought about narrowing your wheels to get the most out of those moabs? how about making your suspension lock out links a little longer to gain some diff clearance? looks like a good start so far! |

| yea i`ve actually thought about making my lockout links a little longer.....i have plenty of threaded rod that i used to make the lockouts also so i might actually do that.....and for narrowing my rims i thought about that too....but thats not gonna be done right now.....i`m not making this a comp kinda rig (although i wouldnt mind competing one day) so this is just a "just for fun" kinda thing lol but hey thanx for the advice though i`ll def. think about the longer lock outs |

| actually the motors i have on there now are just two titans but i`m ditching those for a 55t lathe sooner or later here. but the chassis itself like i said before is a modified clod chassis (to fit the trans and motors and other stuff) and the chassis itself WITH the links and stuff was about 100 bucks. so i thought it was a good start for now for me |
