the rear wheele drive rixmaxx is done. total cost, under $100. mostly parts i already had. picco .26, allum cluch, rpm a-arms, 1/8th buggy shocks, ue super 4 trans, titanium skids, just have to get the rx in.

pretty sweet...................now you just got to put the aluminum bulks on and get some rear aluminum bulks

alredy have them, just have to find'em.

what chassis is that? with the upperdeck?

Rix-Gear. it lowers the cg of the truck, but still uses the stock trans

thrasher- im in the prosses of de-blueing the bulks.

Looks good.

whats a ripmaxx? Nice lookin basher!

i dont think spray paint would stick

no you use oven cleaner and a wire brush. takes the ano off

ohh....never knew that...........kool thanks for the info

oven cleaner..so many uses.
Actually cleans ovens, too, I hear. Never tried it.

there site is gone.
it was http://www.rixgear.com

Very coool...I like it!!

thanks! i like different. i think six had one too, he was the one that told me about it.

Six had a JT Maxx conversion. Similar concept (Lower CG), but it used a Buggy center diff, and didn't lenghthen the wheelbase like the Rix gear does.


Looks good Bill, gotta get that thing in action now.

Didn't want to start a new thread for this... Turns out, the Servo savers on the LST were stripped. I fixed that, took the shim back out, and have the new pipe installed.

thats rite! i remember now.

when you getting the savers? i want to try to get this thing out on sunday.

Savers are in, Pipe is on, Shim is out.... Ready to go...

We can hit the skatepark on Sunday. That'll still give me some open land to "Test and Tune", and some jumps once I am happy with the tune.

Which skatepark where? I'm up for it if it's not too far...

its a small one in midlothian. you might have seen the video from our first time there.

Got a link? I looked thru both of your thread posting histories and didn't find one obvious one.... I should hop on a train w/ all my crap and get off there lol.
