Wow, 22V of pure pain there. I am a huge fan of Badlands too. Good luck!

[Philderbeast]

It looks to be a seriously visious beast when you are through. And probly a lot faster than it ever was as a nirto. Nice looking mount for the esc.

[Maxx man]

[Steve.M]

I actually bought them from a guy who assembles them on another RC site. I would love to learn how to though, cant be that difficult.


make sure you get a vid man!!!!

I will get plenty, no worries! My Monster Max should be here by the end of the week.... I am crossing my fingers!

[Maxx man]

[Steve.M]

Picked up a few more things for it today at the LHS (Wolcott Hobby). Got some 7k and 2k diff oil and some diff o rings as I think the front has a leak. Once I get the diffs refilled and the MMM comes in the mail........its go time :)

[Maxx man]
