LRP engine in tmaxx 3.3

[hulkmaxx]

Didn't even know there was a shorter or longer one

If you don't mind can you measure yours for me. I have the older shorter Rc solutions cage I can measure and match to yours that way you know for sure if that is the short one. But yes they have made the older #4910 maxx short chassis, the #4909 short chassis the #4908 which is extended and the #4907 the newest and it is an extended chassis.

It's about 17 inch from the front bulk head to rear bulkhead

I emailed the person for eBay if I can send it back for Exchange I saw the right one if not you think someone would buy it on the forum I assembled it buts it's brand new

I measured the one on my #4910 maxx it's shorter than 17 inch's. So you must have the extended chassis one. I am just guessing but it must be because the RD Logics has all the extension in the rear for the BB conversion.

I just checked the description for the one I bought and it says not for extended chassis and I saw the right one and it said for extended chassis

 

[Nitro4910]

I just measured my short chassis maxx and it's right at 15in between the bumper mount holes in the bulks.

 

[Ochana25]

So I believe mine is the same as. Your nitro4910 I just estimated mine

 

[Ochana25]

I'm gonna attempt to mod it doesn't look like there gonna exchange it for me maybe make two steel extensions so I can bolt the rear in what Ya guys think

 

[Nitro4910]

Maybe use some small bits of aluminum angle and mount it to the shock tower to bulk mounting area?

 

[Ochana25]

That's what I was thinking. But it's to far off and I can't even get. The sides to come down to fit. The under. Shield I posted. It. In the for sale section maybe someone will want it and. I can buy the right. One lol

 

[Ochana25]

Extended chassis is the right one.

[Ochana25]

Before you buy tires you have to decide what you will be doing with it. Racing, bashing, dirt, grass, cement. Rocks, sand. After you figure that out the web has an endless supply of tires. As for the pizza cutting, you need to tape the inside of the tires, I like to use 2 layers of regular duck tape also, you will need to decide what foam inserts to use, I like to use the yellow buggy foams. Again the web is full of combinations. And remember this. It's harder and waste more energy moving a big tire than you do a small one. But a bigger tire will give you more distance with less power used.

Sweet will look into the thanks hulkmaxx Ohh I got the rollcage and the front and rear bolt up perfect the Centre skid locked on one but the other side won't reach I guess that's the best it's gonna get tho

Glad to hear you got the roll cage issue worked out. Is there anyway you can modify the bottom skid to fit it properly. I had to file the locking grooves out to fit mine to my FLM chassis on this truck. It's hard to tell from the pics but the chassis was somewhat wider than the stock maxx chassis was. By filing the set grooves wider I was able to get it to secure down correctly.

 

[Ochana25]

I see what your saying OK never thought of that I'll try it out thanks hulkmaxx
