    Default 1:6 scale E-maxx aluminum stretch build

    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.

    Got the lower chassis braces on................ threw a Feigao 540XL and a T120 on it 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

    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.

    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.
