The Head and Arms going to far away form the body.

That's your problem right there. You're no supposed to delete the Bip01 bone. That's the center of the rigg system. If you delete that it will mess up the entire rigg.

Have you read geodav's tutorial? It should get you on the right track.

also after deleting the orginal meshes import your model to the skeleton. i found that was one of the problems i was havin when riggin my model.

the Problem is, with the Bip01 i get a error in Max, and UED crash when i try to import.

i've updated my tutorial so that you don't have to delete the biped(Bip01), just skin your sections to the b_xxx's and export via actorx, make sure you have "cull unused dummies" ticked
