I could not see dropping $580 as I already have a Maxx with the WideMaxx kit and CV driveshafts. My Maxx is my main basher and my original body and tires where spent. I was inspired to buy a new body shell and Sledgehammer tires. She looks and runs good as new. Hey the new one is a little longer...
I may do the same as I have a few other upgrades to my V1 Maxx. Have to get a chassis, body, tires and center drive shaft. I already did the Wide package and steel CV driveshafts.
Looks like Traxxas has a new version of the Maxx they just released yesterday. They made the Wide package standard and now have Sledgehammer tires. It also about an inch or so longer. This will now allow for bigger batteries and improve handling of the truck. There are a few YT vids out already...
