Default New E-Maxx build

I'm new to the site which is awsome by the way, and new to RC.

This is my first build. It is pretty much E-Maxx base with some Savage parts. I took (what I thought would be) the the easy way out on building a mock tuber by modifying a VGR cage and building my own chassis. I have more pics. but have to resize or retake them to fit.

I just want to send out a big THANKS to my friends Jeff and Mr. Bonecrusher for helping me out and comming up with ideas, this is just the begining.

Thanks for the input. I' pretty happy with the way it turned out.

The carbon fiber panel just happend by chance. The chassis is hand made by me and a friend in his shop. The cage was bought for another truck which we hacked up and re-welded.

Looks like she flexes well.

What is the thing on the passenger side that looks like a spring?

The spring like thing is a piece of automotive wire loom to hold the wires for the reciever, ESC, and the servo for shiftin' the trans. With out the wire loom it looks like spaghetti inside the cage. I should be able to hide it when I put some side panels on.
