The only stupid question is the one "Never Asked"

RE: Predator chassis
They do have a website but most of the parts are not being produced anymore... Rumors are floating around that Robin (the guy behind the legend of UE) might start production back but so far its just rumors... Here's a link [link]http://www.unlimitedengineering.com/[/link] ... That should get you started... If your lucky and have some serious coin available you can sometimes find some parts on eBay... All I've been able to afford so far are the knucklehead shock towers, still available on the website I believe...

RE: Predator chassis
Nice rig... I remember those days... working at 16 with no rent or bills. I bought a dirtbike LOL. Not trying to burst your bubble here but I have to say I think your wasting your money with all the UE stuff. It's good stuff but honeslty not worth it. However if your sticking her on a shelf and not touchin it until you sell it, it's worth it. But as far as funtcionallity (is that a word?) goes it's just a wast of money. I had a similar goal... to make 1 of the baddest maxxes out there but I made it functional. High torque servoes, fastlane bb chassis, wheel extensions with offset rims (4" wider then stock), Picco P3 .28, rpm a arms and shock towers, traxxas big bore shocks, steel tranny, aluminum skids, bulkheads, etc, etc. for half the price. All I'm saying is you would have a HELL of a lot more fun making that thing a runner instead of a shelf queen. You could have one of the fastest, most industructable, baddest maxxes out there for half the price and run it without worrying about snapping a 50 dollar control arm. Titanium isn't all its cracked up to be.
I know I sound like an a**hat but I'm just trying make the point that if your going sukermaxx just to have a sukermaxx it's a waste. Theres a reason the guy went out of business... NOBODY wants to pay those prices... honestly rpm a arms weigh the same and have a lifetime warranty.
