UE tmaxx build

[Kyleb]

I'm doing a big block build trying to use all UE parts
I don't haver money for VBS's but I was wondering would it be best to use the FLM hybrid bulks with the 1/8 diffs or do I have other options for 1/8 diffs?
I know UE makes the 8 spyder diffs but there 1/10 scale right?

The UE 6 and 8 spider diffs are considered 1/8th scale. I would choose the UE 6 or 8 spider diffs over the FLM any day.
It takes quite a while to accumulate individual UE parts for a complete UE build.
I have been collecting and stashing UE parts for several years, patience and vigilantly watching e-bay is a big + in your search.

Ok I couldn't get a measurement of what scale they were drone UE' site. Also does UE make bulkheads that fit with these 1/8th scale spider diffs. I can't find anything other than vbs

If you get the UE spyder diff kit they fit right into any maxx bulkhead.

Ok so they are 1/8 scale diffs that will fit in any standard bulkhead? Second question is does UE make bulkheads

 

[Nitro4910]

They are Ofna 1/8 scale buggy diff's, the housing is made to fit any maxx bulkhead.
If I had a spare $299 laying around I would have a set in a Hot minute!

Other then the VBS bulks which cost a small fortune when some gives them up, I don't think UE made standard bulks to my knowledge.
I think Dace did but other's know more UE lore then I do.

Just my $0.02 but if I was building the ultimate UE basher I would get some Great Assembly 7075 bulks.

True, UE never made a standard bulkhead. Dace did, but they are very rare also.
The GA 7075 bulks are the best standard bulkhead you can get for a TMaxx and will cost you $150.00 for the front and rear with bulk braces.
Other quality 6061 aluminum bulks hold up very well and are much cheaper, but if you want the best The GA are the top of the line for standard bulks.

They are pretty too if polished

When looking for ga bulks do they have a trademark stamped. Is there any way to tell if it's just a cheap reproduction. Found some on the bay, not really as nice looking as yours snook

The GA logo is on the side of each bulk machined into it. If they do not have the logo, they are not 7075 bulks. They do not come polished but are anodized and look like this new out of the pack.

The bulks listed now on ebay are used; you can get them straight from Great Assembly for $150.00
