Hey guys. Anyone here running a Maximum MT chassis. I'm looking for ideas or pics of how to cut down the lateral movement of the rear end. I've lost 3 clutches and a spur gear due to twisting. THanx..

Thanx for the reply. I found a simple solution, s**** the truck:) . I decided to give it up as a lost cause. I have the nitro evader now.
Thanx again..

Good luck with the Evader. I had nothing but tranny and diff problems with mine. first 1/2 tank of break in at 1/4 throttle the ball diff went out, fixed that, 3td tank the gear in the tranny went out with the first bump of the throttle, went all metal and it still tore up the gears. I sold it with less then 1 qt on it for $75 and wrote off Duratrash.
I hope you have better luck with yours then I did. Ball diffs are garbage for us bashers, great for racers.

I locked the diff with cold weld and it stood up pretty good,now the idler gave out. Next step is aluminum. I think it's the general opinion that the diff's ****.

The truck is totally stripped. The electronics are gone to another project, shocks are in the evader,the origional engine is shipped out, and I used the front bearing carriers and wheels on my evader. I still have most of the plastic parts, full differential, chassis available. As for sales, I'd rather trade for stuff. Usually if I sell something,the money doesn't go back into the hobby. Thanx..Here's the chassis:
