The thing is incredible. Well worth all the time and the money (maybe not so much the money), I love it. I can't wait to crush t-maxxs. Pics soon

wow dude.. you really got some extra cash on your hands.. lol, post some pics. setup looks pretty good though.

Money can get you anything

All that, and stock bulkheads?

[metalry101]

Well, if you don't smack curbs and the like with the truck, the stock bulks are fine. Lighter than alum too. I'd still be running plastic if I hadn't gotten such a good deal on my bulks.

Anyways, sick truck. You run a lot of the same stuff I run. Shocks, steering kit, steering servo, radio, bumpers, etc. Definately need to see pics of this thing. You can check out mine, it's got it's own thread in here (Monster Truck forum).

Better off with plastic towers and aluminum bulks. Stock bulks cant stand up to a heavy electric truck unfortunately

Wow dude, that is impressive. I would like to see some pics.

Stock bulks are fine. I would rather break a bulk (they usually just flex) than bend hingepins, arms, and bulks. I can get pics soon. I was giving throttle to the truck while holding it in the air, the tires balooned to double the size. When you hit the breaks you hear the air leaving the tires for a few seconds its pretty cool...

[lerningdriver]

dude, once you start abusing it you'll be breaking bulks left and right.. and they dont flex, atleast not enough to keep them intact. I went through numerous bulks like this.. until i got aluminum ones.

and since you got a brushless setup, how's weight an issue?

[EMAXXERKEVIN]

Your going to need some al bulks. I had stock bulks on my e-maxx and have just gone to al because of stripped screw heads and twisiting. Also lateral and horizontal flex on the car is just too much with plastic at a integral part of the car. Also not to mention u have to take off about 20-30 screws to take off the front and rear screws and then put on them back on. Yea on my e-maxx my structure is relatively stiff while my arms/shocktowers/knuckles take the twisting.
