i was thinking of getting a extended chasis kis for my maxx, i think it would keep the front end down while hill climbing and maybe handle better... what it good and bad about them and what is a good one?? thanks

they are good...i dont know where to get one. i have the revo and i love the difference between the old revo and new one. the only drawback is if you like fliping in the air it will be slightly harder.

i guess you could make one with a drill tin snips and some metal at like a home- depot or lowes

Just make sure its a name brand chassis... I've had bad experiences with off brands.[:@]

its a xtm big block conversion kit, is that any good?? help asap its ending soon...

Yes, XTM is a very good brand. Good luck! I think you'll be glad you got it. The only "downsides" are you'll have a harder time steering in track conditions, and like it was stated above, you'll have a harder time landing flips. It's worth it for me.

I have the NewEraModels extended chassis on my Picco powered Maxx. Having this chassis is like having a different truck. It will still wheelie on demand, but only on demand. Handling has improved, with less propensity for rolling over on turns. There's more room for full radius headers between the motor and shock tower. The only drawback is the rear driveshaft- Yeah, there's a MIP shaft extender, but it's a large chunk of steel, which I feel is not the best solution. I modified a Tsais center shaft to fit- I took the female socket off the Tsais shaft, used a LST outer shaft and a section of steel brake line and fabbed a custom driveshaft.
