Hi guys,
After being absent from hobby for about a year I got inspired to rebuild my S-Maxx!
Some of you might remember me, but most probably won't.
DO-U-MAXX, remember that FullForce CF chassis and UE Braces you sold me? Well, the chassis broke where it mounts to the front bulkhead... I learned that I shouldn't buy anymore CF until I learned to drive better. Fortunatelly, I put the braces to good use and using them with stock chassis until I get Predator.
Here is what I ordered last week and everything should be getting here soon:
WideTrac Kit (full kit) and UE Servo Saver ($200 for those two)
Different shims for differential
Yokomo differential grease hard
Venom battery pack 1200Mah
Vision Peak 2 charger
Hitec 645MG steering servo
MIP Shiny CVDs for the rear (truck is RWD)
RPM Carriers
AVID bearings for whole truck
Prolly getting .18 CV-RX or TM if I have enough money
I hope it runs nicely after rebuild. I really want to get with you guys sometime and race at the new leisure track when it opens. Should be fun, but I suck so I'll be last anyway (if I finish at all).
I was also wondering about my radio. I won't get new one for now but I guess I should get a set of crystals? I have the red one now. If I will be getting new radio it will either be JR XS3 or Spektrum DSX.
Ohh, almost forgot, does anybody have a carb for TRX 2.5 that I could buy cheap for now? I broke mine and stripped some screw holes as well.
Well that's it for now, I hope to get some pics when I finish too.
