rcrockgear makes one but you can do it yourself. read around a bit and look at other peoples' rigs and projects.

Yes, We do offer a Maxx SAS kit. Currently none on hand but easily can get more made up.

Our site was being worked on until my computer went down... I'm currently borrowing a computer so I can at least get online and check out what is going on.

His PM box is full :( and after looking at my bulkheads for my t-maxx 2.5 it doesn't look like his kit will work without extensive cutting. I may just build my own too. But i can't email him either. Anyone know his email? It isn't in his profile.

I was offered a deal on some bruiser axles i couldn't refuse. So the plan is to assemble the bruiser truck then move on to the maxx or maybe do both at once if funds allow.

Yes my box is full....that sounds nasty .... I do need to sift through those 500 PM's. People keep sending me PM's for some reason and I can't seem to keep up all the time You could email me but PM's get my attention faster..... Or just keep this thread going with questions and I can answer what I can.

Yes, our Maxx SAS kit does require cutting of the stock plastic bulkheads, but bulkheads are cheap. Drilling and tapping is also required, the correct drill bit and tap are availiable with the kit too.

You'll find that in order to convert any Maxx into a serious crawler you will have to cut and drill the stock parts. We have some pretty simple step-by-step instructions to follow for the Maxx SAS kit.



Just a couple quick cuts and you can have tons of under diff clearance!

It is pretty simple to do. I got one of toyo's kits and was no big deal at all. His instructions are VERY good. Highly reccomended!
