i was talking to my friend about his old supermaxx, and he said they were all alumium, and light, and flew throught the perfectly straight. he also said the had unreal accelerating. if there were so good why doesn't anyone race them anymore.

ue(unlimited enginering) manufactured some really good looking and tough aluminum parts for the maxx. i have the ue supermaxx suspension on my maxx.
its very expensive stuff and you deffinitly get what you pay for from them, but with rpm making lighter much cheaper parts not alot of people would throw down that kinda coin for their stuff. so it may not be as common as other cheaper stuff, but that dosnt mean it ist as good or better.
They were more expensive than a top of the line truggy you can buy now out of the box. The diffs alone were $300.
They were tough rigs, but cost a lot of dough to own a true "supermaxx". Unlimited Engineering is the company that made them. I believe all the aluminum was CNC'd 7075 grade aluminum. Tough as nails, but pricey.
There weren't nearly as many "truggy" type choices 5+ years ago. At least nothing that was good. The supermaxx was about it. And if you didn't do it right and go whole hog with the full kit, you were always futzing with it to try to get it to hold up.
Chassis with skids and center shafts only, $368
Arms, knuckles, towers, turnbuckles, pillowballs, retainers and hinge pins, $587 (on sale for $478)
One set of 4 supershocks, $89 (on sale $69)
Full 1/8 diff treatment, $330
Just that list is $1300 and you still don't have an engine, pipe, servos or battery.
The rest of the "conversion" was just a few hundred more if you go through it all.
The $2000 maxx was an easy build back in the day... the UE maxx will never be forgotten.

most people can't afford it or they dont race them because they dont really wanna mess anyhting up so they collect them and make them a selve queen. i have 1 full emaxx ue spent about 3grand a t-maxx about 35 hundred and almost another tmaxx 15 hnudred. the chassis on the emax is a lightning chassis and it is very rare worth about 900 to a 1000 dollars now

They were tougher than any other aluminum T-Maxx but they were not lighter than RPM parts. Track worthy?....well it is still a T-Maxx; no matter what you do to it it will still never beat a Revo or LST on a track. I would say that kind of money is not well spent but that is just me. Personally I would go with FLM....half the price and still a lifetime warranty. So the reason you don't see them is.....not practical and people want something to win....so they don't use a SuperMaxx.
