Try some RPM bulkhead braces with the stock bulkheads. They have worked really well for me and I have never broken a bulkhead. Is your Maxx all stock right now???

NO I HAVE BEEN BLOWING MONEY LEFT AND RIGHT. I JUST BOUGHT THE SIRO TX-18. AND I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2.5 THAT I BOUGHT THINKING MY STOCK ONE WAS BAD, COULD NEVER TUNE IT, SO I'm GOING TO BE SELL THE NEW 2.5 AND PUTTING THE SIRO IN.I HAVE HARD CORE SHOCK TOWERS ,CRAZYNUT HEAD,BIG JOE'S, SPOOLS, FULL CAGE,AND SOME MORE CRAP! IT'S AN ADDICTION. I SHOULD DRINK IT WOULD BE CHEAPER!!
 
To start, please turn off your caps lock, thanks.

With all that weight, it sounds like the bulkhead braces may help you.
 
I payed 95.00 for it so thats what i will sell it for. I'm not sure how much it would be to ship to IN. If you want to find out my ZIP is 53151.

I ordered the Hardcore bulkheads and brace, I hope that works. They are not cheap!!!
 
I run the Hardcore Racing bulkheads and titanium braces. Have not broken them since installed (almost a year). Prior to the upgrade the only time I broke a bulkhead was on a really freaking cold day (plastic and cold = brittle and broken). Took a jump and didn't land so well...ended the day with a shattered rear bulkhead.
 
I have ACNCM bulks and havn't had a problem in 4 months. A friend of mine run integy's bulks and also hasn't had any problems.

We both run the sam 21 conversions and saying we wreck often would be polite. My friend especially. He has had braking issues, so every jump results in either a hard rear bumper landing or a really hard front bumper landing. I very rarely catch him landing on the actual tires.

Most of our air is 5 feet or higher (up to 15). As you could imagine, we were snapping bulks left and right in the beginning. Since we both converted to aluminum, we havn't had any problems.
 
ScottM, you crack me up. Nice plug...nice product. Anyone guinea pig those things for you guys yet? I'm always in the market for something to try...just ask WoodiE.
 
I saw it in your gallery...only problem is that I don't own the AE MGT. Just dumped $1800 on a MBX-5.

How about the Savage cage :D ?
 
$1800?? That must be an awesome buggy, do you have pics up yet?

I sent 1 Savage cage to Eddy and 1 to Chris, and I don't know what came of them. Where are those guys anyway? Buying lap dances for Woodie?

Edit - saw your gallery, sweet buggy, but 1800? How?

BTW, armed services kick a$$, do what you can to help some terrorists meet allah.

Oops. Sorry, just got the receipt out to give you a break down. The Total price for the trip to the LHS that day was $1695. I spent about $300 on stuff for my Savage, so the buggy ran me about $1395.

The buggy was $570. The engine was $220. The Servos ran about $120. The tunable receiver ran $104. The starter box and miscellaneous other goodies to keep this thing running rounded out the rest.
 
Sounds like you have more time and money than good sense... wish i was you. That's quite a shopping list. Mine were like that until my wife lost her job. Now it's a quandry just to pick up fuel.

Got to love life.
 
Sorry, to hear that you are not quite so fortunate.

I have plenty of good sense; live on a budget that allows me to buy a nice toy once in a while; and I'm in the Navy...I have only the time I am able to make between underway periods, work and my family (trust me it is not as much as you may think).

The wife and kids get their share of fun too.

Life is what you make of it.
