thats a pretty sweet maxx!! i would have stripped the chassis and head though.. but good work on it.. hope you dont keep it that clean all the time!!!!

 

[rccars411]

Thanx... we'll see how dirty it can get after break in.

 

[rccars411]

Heh, whoops... I was wondering where my Tmaxximum account went. Somehow i managed to resurface my year old account first. I forgot i even made my rccars411 account.

 

[Revo Rancher]

Soooo, which one are you gonna stick with?!?!

Regradless, nice job. I take it, it is a red, white and blue theme? Nice. I like it. RPM arms are sweet for real running. Need more pics!

 

[rccars411]

Stickin with the tmaxximum name. I didn't actually intend on a theme, but now I do notice it.. except for the white part. The skids are aluminum, but they look white in the pic.

 

[Revo Rancher]

Nonetheless, nice job!

Now, get it dirty!!

How did you get your rpm arms red? I thought they only came in black and blue. Did you dye or paint them?

 

[Plaidfish]

you buy white and they are dyable....use rit dye you buy from any supermarket or walmart....leave parts in dye longer for darker colors......

 

[rccars411]

Thats all there is to it really. I used a cap full of dye with 2 cups of water and let them sit in boiling water for about 4-5 minutes to get that color.

-UPDATE ON TRUCK-

Waiting for the rain to come to a hault. I have one more 5 minute run to do for the heat cycle... then I can spend the next run on tuning it to run like a bat outta hell.

 

[rbmaxxbasher]

yea, I just finished reading on that. My damn LHS only sells them in Blue and Black. Both LHSs I might add. Damnit! I would've loved to had matching arms for the maxx. Oh well, still looks good.

 

[Plaidfish]

have the shop order them.....

 

[rccars411]

Color does a whole lot to the looks... beautiful eye candy. Lots of my "super maxx/all aluminum" maxx buddies envy the look of the truck.

So far, all i have to do is rebuild the tranny, there is no second gear once so ever.
