Could You Be TOO BIG For The Racecar?! Sprint Car Chassis Options Explained

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

Love the 5-button hood

[@jbochenick]

I’d like to see you build a car in the offseason. From start to finish with explaining what your doing and why. I’d also like you to explain setups for different tracks in different conditions with the newly built car. Also like to see you race the newly built car this up coming season. Just a suggestion. Thanks Billy

[@jayss10]

Ditto. Take us through a build. That would be a neat series.

[@tomrobinson199]

Arnt maxim bulilt elsewhere…..

[@tomrobinson199]

Nvm nvm I apologize I was thinking of triple x that’s my bad.

[@JustinMorrisV82]

But one and build it

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

Love your crew. Wish I lived closer. Love sprint cars.

[@scottbanton7928]

Thanks Billy informative

[@paulking6404]

Absolutely LOVE these tech videos..

[@Atomikenrtia]

I am in the middle of a binge of your videos to catch up (just stumbled on your channel a week or two ago) and it's usually what I watch while working. Jerry saying "I thought I was retired, but I think it's called retarded." Floored me. I had to stop to laugh so I didn't miss the rest of the video.

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

Love the weld-on feature.

[@joshuaman1126]

That was a awesome video Billy. Thanks for the tutorial. I would also love to see a car built in offseason and the how and why you do certain things. I know for me it would be super interesting

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

Love that building. Being from upstate New York, that thing will hold a lot of snow load.

[@RedRacer78]

Fantastic video! Thank you 👍🏼

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

Love the aero force.

[@edhammond8709]

Great job

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

Like the dual wing mounts.

[@StanYockey-ue1ed]

Oh man. Jerry is definatly a character. He's been to my shop a few times.

[@stephenraubenstine3267]

Great video, Billy!

[@johnunruh1086]

Another great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@carltonharris7160]

excellent video, thanks

[@BadGoat92]

Next time you build a car video it! Be cool to see how one goes together from scratch. Longer the video the better lol I love the technical stuff

[@randyg6231]

Great Info !! Thank You for showing us some very good info !!

[@Davewilliamson5w]

Tell Maxim I'm considered BIG in Japan and consume a lot of IC Light! Wonder what car I'd get? Alan Cole was probably the tallest guy I raced with in the day. I remember winning a 410 feature at Clinton County and Alan had a ride in a ARDC midget that particular night. I was walking back from the interview and saw Alan sitting in the staging area. I walked up and looked in and ask him how he fit in that thing? He just threw his hands up! Bret Knable drove a micro and he was probably taller than Alan! Somehow you just make it work. Good times!!

[@jesseweaver_fuyt]

How about more info on the halos? Can you run on on a wing car?.

[@LogacysAquaticLove]

Love these vids! ❤🤙🏼

[@jeffringley5064]

Great explanation . Waiting on the next video.

[@boneycrane]

Nice to see the difference, and informative.😎

[@NimCross]

Awesome video!

[@kevins5259]

Another excellent video. Thanks for the content.

[@fastrich75]

Awesome video never knew the stuff you explain on this video!!!! 😊

[@GuyVogt-f5k]

Great video. Is it ok if we visit the shop off season..?

[@necrobrewer838]

What's the weight difference between the chassis?

[@1919champ]

Terrific!

[@LucanCloudesley]

Hey billy buddy Luke new Zealand here love ur stuff hey if U Wana see sum cars U mite have seen yet look at new Zealand modified champs we have them wth wings on have a look and have a look at NZ super stock champs the cars r slot different than you are thinking

[@racinRichie70]

Cool video love the info, is there a difference in price between the two chassis?

[@tomrobinson199]

Still need a nasty n8 the great sticker we accepting more than PayPal yet? Always enjoy the vids no matter the content.

[@paulmadsen3244]

Even tho both the standard car and the tall cage cars are the same manufacturer,are the setups different because of the heigth of the tall cage car?

[@billydietrich]

No not really.

[@kenjoseph-bw5bo]

Gonna miss seeing fancy pants barry in your vlogs! A trailer full of Maxims. What's not to like!

[@billydietrich]

🤣🤣

[@ldnwholesale8552]

I recently sat in a tallboy Maxim, and I was still hanging out the top. Without a helmet. I am 6ft 1 and 15 stone. I run a classic [Australian] Super mod. More room though there is still a halo bar over the top. It must be a limo at 90". Knowing a driver who got serious head injuries in a midget so many of these cars are simply too small. And he was a skinny 6 footer. I remember a decade or so again the 'hot trick' was pins for the shocks then held on with R clips. Which was total bullshit as the shocks need to be bolted on firm

[@RichBTV]

So Billy, I am curious. I've been super interested in Sprint cars for years and watch a ton of your content. However, I dont know everything there is to know about them. So my question is, what about a Halo? Are you able to still run a winged sprint car with a halo welded on? Im sure rules would come into play, but around here in New Mexico, I see some cars with them, some cars without. I guess in my head i always figured it was a personal preference but when it comes to talking about the taller chassis, is that something you could do in a standard chassis to give you that much extra room? I'm really just curious honestly. Keep up the good videos!

[@brianhagler4490]

Love it!

[@williamstile5696]

Our these cars chromemoly or docal tubing?

[@phillipgulett8749]

Im a big guy i wonder if i come to ur shop could u build a car to fit me and still be legal for ascs rules

[@1776vtgmb]

Are Maxims tig welded? I agree with the other folks here, great content and great camera work, Billy! WillyB

[@jayss10]

The question shouldn't be is the chassis TIG, MIG, or stick welded. The real question should be is the welding being done by a person that is certified and are chassis welds occasionally being tested to make sure you have full penetration. That's the real question you should be asking

[@1776vtgmb]

@@jayss10 You're right. Are they certificated and is the steel tested? Does it come from china? Stress relieved? etc.

[@1957raider]

GOOD

[@jeffsmyth8238]

What ever happened to Reverse tube cars they even around anymore ? Some guys don't even know what they ? Hated those suckers I could never get it to work

[@jonglenn1828]

this might be a dumb question, are the base line setups for the big frame and standard frame the same?

[@richardglenn8229]

Let's get you in a ChiliBowl car

[@Corky3D]

Surprised no talk about difference between Standard, Mid and Big Max. Although It didn't look like there was a Big Max delivered.

[@HillBrosRacing]

I think the taller cars run a bit tighter. I run a basic Maxim raised rail, I feel it runs a bit a more free and forgiving. It’s 87/40. I ran a 87/41 for a few races and felt it was tight also, but really comfortable on dry slick.

[@billydietrich]

You are correct, no big max in this order. My bad. The tall car is like a mid max but taller. I really wanted to show the option with room. We get a lot of inquiries about the driver not having enough room and we see drivers in cars with their head to close to top of cage.

[@Corky3D]

@@billydietrich Oh, you're fine. I know the differences on the cars, just thought it would be a good topic to talk about and you'd be a good person to talk about that topic with you being a dealer and everything. I agree with there's a lot of people that are probably to close to top of the cars. I was always lucky being shorter, so I always had pretty decent head room in standard non wedge cars. Although I preferred the taller cars, due to having even more head clearance or "buffer" room.
