Ok, now I know so people think the T Maxx isn't designed for jumping, and you are right. So I have taken it apon myself to build one that will take the big air and walk away. The list so far. Roller that I bought from Bill. ACNCM bulks all around. Many replacement stock parts. Sportwerks Mayhem shocks. Whats to come... RPM skids and arms. Center diff <--- should be here this week. A nice big block. And the special feature is a set of aluminum shock towers that I have designed for this project. They will be a revolutionary design, something that has not been seen befor. Well here it is as it sits, with 5.5 inches of ground clearance.       What do you guys think? |

Right now, you are correct, it does look like most other maxxes. The true upgrades are not on yet. I am designing my own shock towers that are going to be like nothing on the market. I am also going to be using a custom mounted center diff out of a buggy. Many of the structural parts are not yet mounted. This is only the begining. I have many other plans that are in progress.

I should be finishing the desgn this weekend. I have been talking with one of the guys from Lincoln Machine here in town, and he is willing to build them for me. I am hoping to have them done by the end of the month.

Sorry guys, with the strike here at good year, my time has been short to work on the truck. I am here at work most of the time. Those of us who have been pulling 12 hour days are hoping that it will all be over soon. I did take tonight off cuz it is my sons B-day. So I really want to be able to take him out trick-or-treating.

Well due to issues with putting the center diff in, I have been toying with the idea of building my own truggy style chasis. I just have to get a sheet of aluminum for it.

Kinda got side lined for a little while. The computer that I had the design on crashed, so I have to start all over. Which really stinks cuz of the amount of time I had in on the design. Well, that is what I get for not backing up my work on my flash drive. IT has my computer now, hopefully they can retrieve all of my files. For now the mayhem shocks are on my racer. I am trying a different kind of setup, using them on the 4 outside corners and 4 stockers without springs on the inside corners. I can drop it from 5 foot up and it wont bottom out, but it still has a lowered ride height.
