Default T-Maxx Project

I picked up this E-Maxx from a fellow RCU member and it needs a lot of work. I know in the picture it looks semi complete, but some of the parts were mismatched with other parts and the chassis needs to be rebuilt. I plan to use parts from both T and E Maxx chassis. Hopefully this will turn out as nice as I expect at the end. If anyone has something similar or has put one of these together please add to the thread.

I will be posting here often with updates and photos. I have 90% of the parts I need so it shouldn't take too long to finish.

That thing looks like a beast so far. That would be fun to drive, hope you drive it and not "mound queen" it, as I would have to run over to Bridgeport Connecticut and beat your face in.

so what's wrong with it? and how can parts be mis-matched, the T-maxx and E-maxx have most of the same parts, the engine/motor are different, so are the chassis and trannsmission, but that's about it.

The diff cases slide side to side in the carriers(bulkhead), looks like they need a spacer or they are the wrong parts. I got the chassis as you see it in the pictures with some misc parts. Some of it just wasn't assembled correctly and teh CF plates were hand made so they also need some adjusting.
