I kinda want to buy all the parts from the same manufacturer.


I want bulkheads, bulkhead spacers, and drive shaft loops, as well as aluminum differentials. I also want skid plates and lower chassis braces.



I am also looking for the best CVD and driveshafts too.


Any suggestions as to which company would be the best bet to buy from.
 
Try HardCore Racing. They make some very nice stuff. Aside from that, you will be hardpressed to find one manufacturer that handles all of those parts.

I think UE might be the only one that makes them all.

I think you will find that many will recommend specific makers for each part as no one makes the best of all of them.

I have to disagree with you there SkyMaxx. UE maks the best parts for you T-Maxx hands down. Yes, they are expensive. But, you get what you pay for. With UE, you will never have to rebuy a part unless you wear it out, or strip it out. Not to mention they have a trade-in/upgrade program. If your military, they give you a discount.

No need to disagree. My statement is that UE does not make every part that he listed...or at least I believe they do not. Therefore, they can not make the best of all of them (as in all of the parts).

As far as I know, the best skid plates I have heard of are made by RC Solutions. They are made from spring steel and are better than Titanium.

BUT, you are right. You do get what you pay for and UE is some great stuff.
 
Here is and the aluminum and titanium you will ever need!

How well does it drive, upside down and all? :D

Just kidding...looks like a nice shiney ride. It sure could use a coat of mud.

RC Solutions: Chassis Braces, Skids, Bulks and spacers.

UE: Diffs

MIP: CVD's all
 
If your looking for some hard to bend and break bulks, go with great assemblies. They make a set out of 7075 aluminum which is much harder than pretty much everyone else's. I haven't found anyone else that makes them out of 7075. And for a full set plus a really good set of bulkhead braces, they are around $120 GA Bulk Kit

Maximizer and kippster both make diff cups for the spider gears. You can find those at stormer. Maximizer Diff Cup Kippster Diff Cup

I bought the maximizer set and they are holding up really well.

I also recommend going with the rc-solutions spring steel skids. They allow some give as opposed to titanium or aluminum. Titanium is so stiff that I'd be afraid of ripping apart bulks on a bad impact. With the aluminum, it just bends and gets fatigued and eventually breaks. The spring steel absorm impacts and spring back. Granted, they bend over time, but you can bend the right back and they still retain their springyness.

As far as bulkheads go, Great Assemblies does make the best. Make sure you get it in the 7075 like mentioned, and they come with braces. Although, UE does make their own version of the bulkheads, called VBS or Victory Bulkless System, which cases the diffs. The only skid plates they make, are for the VBS. Yes, I would have to agree with the spring steel. I personally go for the Titanuim trying to keep weight down. The only diffs you should ever even consider getting are from UE. They make a 6 or 8 spider, no difference really just personal preference. I went with the 6 spider, and they have held up fine. As far as lower chassis braces, there is alot of choices. I personally go back to UE. You can buy their chassis braces without having to purchase their chassis. They even give you a template. Draw some holes, and then drill! Don't quite know what a drive shaft loop is though?? Sorry I can't help you out on that one. Oh R/C Madman we know you love your truck! Quit gloating about it! Jusk Joking!! LOL!! I see it all the time on the UE forum!

Hey when you put this much money and time into your MT you have to show it off right!LOL:breakdown
 
I am pretty much set on getting the Great Assemblies bulkheads and titanium hinge pins.

They have a nice package that includes alot of parts from a company called RockHoundz Here is a link to it http://www.greatassemblyrc.com/Full_Suspension_Kits.cfm


They have diffs that are aluminum and look to be nice, for $75 for the pair. I am not into really hard core bashing, I just like driving it in the dirt at high speeds.

Yeah, I think its pretty nice looking stuff, I was going to keep my plastic arms to keep weight down, but for that price I might just get me a .21 engine to keep the speed up even with the added weight.


Now my only decision is what diffs to buy, the ones that GA sells look nice.
 
Thanks for all the advice. I have almost made my mind up about everything. I am kinda deciding on buying a CyberMaxx kit, and then putting GA Bulkheads and Diffs.
