Here is the big block maxx truck I got for rebuilding my nephews maxx truck. Doe's anyone know the brand of big block kit this is. I will be tearing it down some tonite. Going to be a budget build before I start my race maxx truck. I know it has a B01 gs .21 on it. Hoping it is still functional. I know it's stuck pretty much tight. Do not know brand of pipe either.

Thats what I thought but it does not match the ribbed pipe I have on my savy so I guess maybe could be older version I don't know. This kit has some weid skid plates to. They bolt into the stock maxx style bumpers, for extra support. I have the ebtire truck pract tore down right now. It also has some kind of homemade FOC to.:\
 
Show a picture of the skids at the point they bolt to the bumper.
 
The pipe looks like a new era pipe they used to offer:

I say "used to", because I don't think new era is open anymore.

Might be new era skids too, hard to tell in your photo's for sure:

Sons beater maxx finished

Well here it is. I stripped all the paint off it that someone sprayed on pretty much everything. Turns out I was right had a GS B01 engine in it. I ditched the New Era pipe for a Hot Bodies side pipe sounds like a beast and makes great power. That B01 just don't leave the front tires on the ground. Someone had the rear diff spooled so I just left it, trans was a full metal ROB Racing gear set. Has a ROB Racing steel spur Alum clutch. I had to custom fit a savage receiver mount to clear the pipe, I think all in all for putting it together with what I had laying around came out descent and runs like a beast. Here are some pics.
