Project PrissE-Maxx

[Lessen]

You guys may have seen me mention it before but now that I have a vehicle on the way to work on it can become a reality. I'm making an honest attempt at dragging my wife into this a little, but I think she needs something that shouts "Lady" so I got the grand idea for project PrissE-Maxx. I just landed this smokin' ass deal on Ebay for a lightly used E-Maxx. The plans are...

1: White RPM suspension arms (dyed pink)
2: Chrome RPM Titan Stablemaxx wheels
3: Proline Masher Tires
4: Spray paint roll cage pink
5: Pink/white/chrome Proline Escalade EXT body (Can't go wrong with a pink Cadillac )

You're exactly right about the pink caddy. I think you did good with the E-Maxx, and you can always slip your maxx body on and have yourself a nice truck to run, without even having to pimp the pink body. I'm working on one for my girl as well, but I'm sure yours will look much better. I gotta get some of my other projects finished up first though. Good luck with it! I really hope you guys (and girls) can enjoy the hobby together. Nothing like having your wife ask you on wednesday if you will make plans to take her bashing over the weekend. I'm sure it beats the hell out of the oprah, theater, or shopping. I'm sure she enjoys one of those now.

Heck of a deal Josh! I hope your wife appreciates it and really gets in to it too!

As usual, post the pics as you get it together

Actually, she just asked me if I wanted to go see Linkin Park this summer. My wife is fun.. she just doesn't get the r/c thing... yet. muah ha ha haha...

so I'm trying to decide what tires to put on the RPM Titans. So far I like Proline mashers.. they look very all purpose and the tread design really works with the Caddy. I want to go with the offset version of the wheel since it gives it a deep dish (pimp) look. so with that I'm not sure if I should get the standard Mashers or the Wide mashers... Whataya think?

SOMEONE needs to beat the hell out of Oprah.

LMAO! I love catching good typos. Any chance you were going for opera?

Deep dish, BIG tires. Size matters, and makes it easier for her to run without rolling it over.

Are these the wheels you're talking about? I'd sell this set cheap, but as you can see in the second pic, they have 2 differnt tires on them. 2 are Maxx Dawg, 2 are Dirt Dawg. I got them from Plaidfish, he said they have never been run, I washed the dust of them and put them on the truck for these pics then took them off. 14mm hex.

Standard size Mashers with the RPM offset wheels. She'll be plenty stable. I love the Mashers, they work well on everything. I tried to do a black over chrome on these rpm wheels, it came out kinda burgundy.

 

[Lessen]

Thanks for the pic Scrogg. Those looks nice!

Proline Big Joe 40 Series Tires are pretty good when it comes to preventing roll overs. I have them on beadlocks with my 3.3 T-Maxx and it's rare that I roll it over, even if I tried it's down right difficult.

Dude I think that is great! I wish I could get my wife into RC. So far my attempts have been in vain. I am surprised... she is a very competitive person. If I had to choose I would go with the wider tires... for the stability factor. I used Maximizer beadlocks with the .5 inch offset, and Proline Badlands tires. I like the looks of the badlands... but they are not really "all terain" tires. Last winter I did an Emaxx project as well. Took a stock Emaxx, tore it down and built it back up with all the bells and whistles.... Maybe I should have given it to the wife?..... Nah! LOL I think this is great Josh. I can't wait to see it when it's all finished. If this gets your wife rollin in RC... I just may have to try again!

 

[Lessen]

yeah, I think I may go with the wider ones. The pattern has a different angle to it too since it's wider. I like it. I think my mind is made up.

That's great man! I'd like to see some pics of that car when it's finished.

WoooooHoooo this hobby definitly needs more women. I'm one of the very few around here that runs and it gets real boring hanging around with a bunch of men.:LoL:

 

[CharliesTheMan]

Lessen, I think you probably want to go with chrome wheels to really set off the other pink stuff, but I just thought I would share this tidbit with ya just in case. You can dye the RPM chrome wheels just like the white ones, but instead of having say blue wheels as you would with the white ones, you would have blue chrome. So IF you wanted, you could have pink chrome wheels. I think regular chrome would really setoff the other pink stuff though.

 

[Lessen]

I'm 100% with you Charlie. Originally, I was going to dye everything. Pink arms AND wheels. Then I got to thinking last night about what kind of body to put on it. I have an F-150 body but I didn't feel like an extravagant amount of pink would look good on it. I recalled seeing the new Escalade that Joe just painted and thought.. Yeah, that'll be perfect. That's about whenI realized that pink wheels would be overdoing it. Since I'm planning some chrome in the body I figured a Set of badass chrome wheels would set it off perfectly and suit the body just right. I'm tellin' ya'll now, this is gonna be one good lookin truck! I REALLY think she'll take a liking to it :thumbup:

That's great man! I'd like to see some pics of that car when it's finished.

its not finished, but this is what you should expect.. its not right in anyway. but she'l look pretty cute sitt'in up ther on the drivers stand..:wban:

 

[Lessen]

Oh hell no! That's is awesome. I think my wife would kill me if I went that far with it LOL. Great stuff man!

 

[godale03]

That has got to the pinkest radio I have ever seen! LOL One things for sure... nobody will ever pick up that radio by mistake!

 

[CharliesTheMan]

i'm loving it, that's about as pink as it get. I can taste the aftertaste of a big swig of pepto just looking at it.
