Its just harder to get the weight distribution right on and E-Maxx with one pack. I tubbed the back of my 3906 chassis to run a single pack, but I don't believe you can do that with the 3905 unless you get really creative.

When I spoke with CC about it, they saying have two packs in parallel will put less of a load on each pack which will result in better performance and reliability.

Unless the lipos to be ran in parallel are lower spec items (in terms of mah or C rating), then a single high spec lipo is fine (or a pair in series to get the desired voltage).

I favour the parallel setup for extended runtimes, using a a pair of good spec lipos or A123 packs; weight is not a concideration for me, only nuttiness.

With a motor on one side of the truck, a single larger lipo on the other makes sense, but balancing the weight is more important/tricky perhaps...

Hey do you guys know if there is a conversion to convert the dual steering to a single steering servo on the EMaxx?

Technically you dont need anything to convert it to single. Just remove the second servo. You can trim back the steering arm if you like. You should also purchase a high torque servo though - something over 300 oz-in.

Yeah, its a piece of cake to use a single servo on the 3905- just remove the second servo and long connecting push rod- that will leave you with something akin to the UE or Proline steering setup. You can also use 3906 spec parts from NewEra or GPM etc.

Cool! I will look into this later this afternoon when I get home. I got two spare Hitec HS-645MG which is 130oz each combining for 260oz, which I think may not be enough. I also have two spare Hitec HS-5995TG with 330oz each for a combined total of 660oz which I think may be an overkill! Im left with a delimma, so I figure the best is to use a single HS-5995TG.

YES!

Ok, finally got some time to put some work into my new EMaxx. Just waiting for the pinion and its ready!

Hmmm... its weird I did post a pic but guess didnt do it right or something. But you can see the pic of my EMaxx (Work in Progress) on page 3 of the link below.

thats the coolest monster gt I've ever seen

Thanks, that was my first RC! That thing got my hooked in this hobby when I got it 11 months ago.

Crap! So I get my EMaxx up and running and I took it out the street. Ran it up and down once and my front driveshaft snapped!
