eh... is this a joke??


if not, this is the wrong forum to go about looking for nitro crawler.

ya this forum is useless.

Hey I have a mini-giant too (AKA A-tech Mini Monster)! I tried to not crawl with it and that was a bad idea. Check out this video I made of it when I just got my crappy old Rustler.

I beg to differ my friend..
 

This forum is totally awesome; we’ve got some of the brightest gentlemen in the industry here willing to exchange ideas and rederrick.:yes: It’s apparent that you don’t have a crawler but you’re looking for ideas. That’s cool..:oops: But you may want to think about phrasing your questions differently in the future. :whistle:

If you ask for help you will get it! lot’s of it (most great advise) :yipi:
If you ask for a showdown IE (Bring it!) we will call you to the mat every time.

Boys will be boys.. :mdr:

Welcome to the Forum CM, I hope you enjoy your visits here, I know I always do.

no nitro fans here since it is an electric forum...you might want to try the Traxxas site

im sorry for the phrasology. im not a computer guy. first forum ever and not too helpful thus far. crawlers and nitro dont mix ok.

You got that right :intello::lol:.

I have seen some pretty cool videos of nitro crawlers. This was 3 or 4 years ago though and I haven't seen many since and I suppose that is mainly due to most people going electric. It was pretty cool watching savages crawl though.

Hey guys, this is a somewhat interesting project. I am not a nitro fan, but lets try and help him out. I have half a dozen maxx trucks and so do alot of other members here. Lets see what we can do for him!

Wild shot in the dark idea here:

If you really want a low ratio, and do not mind making some stuff, you could adapt a new emaxx tranny to the tmaxx. That way you could use the optional wide ratio 2 speed setup. It gets a low gear in 1st, very low. You would have to make up some sort of mech brake mount. And would not have reverse, and would need to add a shift servo if you wanted to use high and low gears.

Sounds interesting to me...

this isnt the type of place to use the N word. shhh...

Nah, I could care less what you run. Not like I have to hear or smell it!!!

I like to see other peoples custom projects, nitro or electric. It beats looking at pics of peoples bolt together vehicles, no fun in that!!!

See here for a Traxxas revo nitro crawler project for a few pointers re gearing...

thanks. now i have a few things to try.

Also, try the crawler forums for max based crawlers and gear reduction ideas:

http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/index.php

We do love custom vehicles and trying new things, but this is a 99% electric forum after all. A nice reduction box of some sort would be cool, as would truggy ratio diffs to lower the overall drive ratio- need some FLM hybrid bulks, UE ultralites, or the LST/Muggy diffs for that.

I don't know how you would make it fit on a Maxx, but the portal axles from RC4WD would help lower your speed. They have a ratio of 1.5:1.
