My RC's - WEEE-Maxx 

 

 

> TechSpec:   WEEE-Maxx

> Intro

This rig started its life a box-stock Traxxas E-Maxx, when I purchased it from Stormer Hobby's in December 2000.  Even right out the box I was impressed with its performance, and it quickly became my number 1 "bash machine".

Of course, with the vast amount of hop-ups available to these trucks, it was just a matter of time before the urge to upgrade would become too strong to resist.

Starting slowly by adding new skids and bumpers, after 2 years it has gotten to a point where I'd estimate that its about 85% aftermarket parts and 15% stock parts...almost scary ain't it?

The truck is now configured as an all-out basher rig; no attempt has been made to make it look scale, or like a "real" monster. Most of the modifications are made for one purpose:

..Better Bashing.
