anyone know if theres amaxx chassis out there thats extended in the front like the 3.3 i looked through the forums and surfed the web some but came up empty
 
Only front extended chassis is the stock 3.3 chassis all others are extended in the rear. like they should have been from traxxas
 
that flm one is pretty sweet,the reason i was lookin for a frontal one is that i have a 2.5 style with a monoblock on the back that id like to use but dont wanna get or make a super long center shaft id rather split it up between the front and rear, I'm building a super size max out of parts, thanx for the replys guys.
 
Other than making your own chassis you would need to use the stock 3.3 4908/7 extended chassis (there is no other aftermarket chassis available that’s extended in the front only).
Since you have the mono with the short chassis you should have the rear center shaft already, you would just need a front center shaft for the extended chassis and a extended drive cup for the rear (4908/7 chassis is a few mms longer in the rear).
The extended chassis adds about 30mm to the front much like the mono adds to the rear.
Wheelbase with the mono and extended chassis would be approx 15.5 inches.

I made this chassis to almost the same length specs without the mono; it has a 15.5 inch wheel base.

If you’re going to make a custom length rig you will have to at the least purchase a few items to make it all work.
 
Yeah that's a bad rig snook,I wish I had access to a machine shop I would just make my own chassis,I'm pretty handy with a toolbox as I made my own rear shaft and have a little stock pile of parts and pieces that I can rig up to make it all work ,I think that if I were too extend the rear any further a longer shafts length would tend to be more unstable and want to twist and bend easier.
 
i knew someone somewhere sometime would think that was funny
 
Anyone know what the length of a front dogbone would be
