Maxx sized BMV-2 Knock-off

[ROSS]

well i built a knock off bmv-2 2.2 and liked it so much i decided to build one for my maxx, here it is, all i need to do is get a new body and mount it. tell me what you think. it uses a cutting board, 3/16 steel wire, and the usual lock maxx axles, 55t lathe, tq3 with 4WS mod, lst tires, maxamizer beadlocks, and lock emaxx trans.














sorry for the big pics.

Fix your pics they are not working. I had the same idea in mind for my Maxx build. Was going to use heavier rod and Teflon for the plates.

Have you driven it yet?
How's the torque twist???

Very nice build. I was planning on getting my Teflon plates CNC'ed but I really want it get this off the bench so I may cut them myself. How stiff is the piano wire. I was going to use 1/4" rod.

o yeah driven it alot, but not hard core cause i havent decided how i want to mount the body yet, as for the torque twist there is very little, the only time its been a probably is when i was climing the stairs cause the wheel base is about 2 inches to short for stairs.

the wire is great, it is stiff enough that you can pick it up in the middle and there is very little bending. 1/4" would be way to stiff, as you can see from the pic i get about 12" of ground clearance when at full flex. and thats perfect for me.
