This is what I did so I could run a buggy tank instead of the sock tank. I put the tank up where the receiver/throttle servo was. I moved the receiver over above the steering servo.

The FOC for the maxx is rather cheap. I'd just buy that. Takes a lot of junk out of the trans.

This was the layout at a later date:

I made little stand offs out of brass tubing. You can't see one of them as it's behind the servo, but I drilled a hole through the bottom of the receiver box for it:

Looked a lot cleaner on a 21 chassis though:

The last photo of the maxx I ever had... sold it in pieces:

Can't believe that was 4 years ago... I had gotten a savage shortly before this decision was made ;)

that truck is a true basher you just made a new freind.
 
Yeah... my goal was to have a truck I could beat the crap out of and not worry... ultimately, the savage kicked it's teeth in and I got rid of the maxx.
 
savage for me next spring,by the way i have that same pvc stand
