1:6 scale E-maxx aluminum stretch build

[Make-a-Wake]

Hey guys..........started out in RC trucks years ago and recently got the bug again for Monster trucks. I have several Emaxx's..........2200 Mamba etc........... but have always thought they needed to have a longer wheelbase. This one has a custom frame that stretches the wheelbase to 16.5". Bought all the aluminum parts and am basically building it piece by piece.

I have a Beautiful scale 1:6 Ram body that i basically built it around. Its jet black and was painted at an auto body shop. It rides on 9" tall Imex Jumbo Kongs.

Been working on it for a few weeks now so i'll let the pics catch you up. :Peace_Sign:

Got the lower chassis braces on................ threw a Feigao 540XL and a T120 on it:olleyes: for a quick test run.............worked well, but i will end up using a Neu 1515 1500kv I have that needs a home, the lower kv will work out well with the huge tires. Gonna run 4s with a waterproof ESC.

Last pic is with(on) my son's Emaxx:w00t:

Thanks, i have test ran it with no body and it is very stable................low cg i guess.

Cool build! I wanna see vids!

Thanks Rum............i'll get some vid soon...........i installed the Neu 1515 and with the low gearing it picks up the nose on hard acceleration!

Looks cool got to get some video of it running thanks

Took it out today for a hard run..............all kinds of different terrain. Climbs well and the suspension seems to be set up just right.

I may go up a couple teeth on the pinion for the Neu 1500kv motor, or go to the 4 pole 4074 2200kv motor i have.................needs a little more top end, but i love the torque and the ability to run very low rpms without the motor shuddering.

Vid below.........and yes my camera sucks.................got a new one coming for Christmas, an HD!

Here's a vid of it climbing around on big rocks and dirt................filmed with one hand and drove with the other.

I'm trying to find a truck body thats in the 24" long range.........the emaxx body looks a bit silly on it.

Here's the body 95% done...............the 3rd pic is with the Jumbo Kongs and the roll bar.............the 4 lights on it work.

All lights work now front and rear as well.:thumbup1:

Added my "signature" bedliner...............textured gray paint with a light coat of gloss black, looks like a real one live in person:thumbup1:

[H2OCamel]

Very nice!!!!!

Thanks Camel, Wonder if an RC magazine would write it up? Ya think? If so which one should I send pics too, dont know any RC mags at all.

Thanks:Peace_Sign:

Yeah!! Got my basher body in, no way am I gonna run it with the show/display body........well maybe on 4s real slow climbing.

This body is 4 inches longer than the standard Emaxx Stretch body, 22.5 inches long, biggest I could find on Tower.

Now it looks like a true monster truck, gonna run this body and the Jumbo's for normal running/bashing.

Nice Maxx there Steve! Is it a 3905 or 3906? What tires are those? Motor?

[steveo]

its a 3906 which i have had for 10 years bought after traxxas made it wider, the tires are from a store bought toy i got them from rc universe swap area for dirt cheap 7" tall and the imex rims fit great the whole tire combo is by far the lightest i own no foam they dont need it, motor is one that has been passed around the ose swap shop 40x96 4 pole it had a carbon fiber cooler run on 6s- 14/76 gearing, f/r spools
