WOW very cool build man!! keep up the good work!

Hefty old motor that, shifts the truck pretty damn well. I too have always thought of children as great targets/ obstacles... :whistle: :mdr:

Those are real wheelies! Even better than slap wheelies...

Fun
 

At any rate it appears that you are having fun with your project and we are happy to see some of your progress with the Maxx. Nice body on there to.

Great approach.
 

That is a very healthy approach to our hobby. Both of our youngest boys have their own trucks now thanks to the generosity of some of the RCM members who have donated spare parts to the project. Both boys have now built and drive their own stock 3906 trucks ans seem to really enjoy doing so. The only thing is that now that they have done this, they both want to upgrade and do more. More power, more blingg, and higher speeds. I am already struggling trying to get the parts that I want for my trucks. With them only being 12 & 13 their income is limitied to the $10 a week allowances they have, plus whatever extra work they can get done to earn additional money. I just started working so money is still kind of tight yet. I don't even have any of my truck ready to foll yet.

Checked your photobucket! OMG!

ooooo its not extended yet. and the short cage just clips on like a body... nevermind lol it looked longer in the sand vid

Yeah I remember those HEHE just fetch me when you get it extended with a real cage. :intello::intello:

Snoopmaxx
 

Hey Snoop you look so young in that upper photo. Kind of hard to reach the table yea?:lol: Nice looking work on your sand truck. Seeing such individuality is unusual these days with so many RTR kits. Keep up the good work and have fun with it.

Yea I've been seeing the wheely King stuff in your photobucket cool stuff!

nice project
 

snoop, i like what you are doing to that old e-maxx,
i to have a 3906 brushless project on the go, but i put mine in the project x for some reason, might have been under the influence at the time :whistle: .
like the roll cage idea, i too made a welded steel roll cage around 4 years ago to sit under the hummer body (proline).
my son drove the truck at full speed into the rear axle on my transit and i must admit the cage was a write off but the internals were untouched.
thinking this time i may try a carbon fibre roll cage with c/f body panels, so its all one piece. hmmm ....

hi snoop/all...i ran my truck sunday afternoon down the foresty bit on the end of the park, a five minute walk from home, went ok, popped a front shock and bent the drive shaft after a bad landing.
there is a model shop around 40 mins drive from home but i get parts from all over, my mm combo came from a main hobbies as was best price around.
i usually make any parts that can be fabricated at home.
are u still running the 775 titan in your maxx?
you will really smile whe u get lipo power in your maxx.
and smile even more when you go over to brushless.
lipos are 100% improvment over nmhi, i run 5s on my maxx and is blistering:yes:, also get a longer run time, i get around 45-50 mins.
whats an lvc? speed controller?
talk soon byee all...

Yes :mdr:

It's a LiPo Cut-Off

Nice! I like how they etched "Novak Racing" into the board.

lvc
 

hi snoop/all...oh i see, ive never needed one, mm combo has built in lvc :yipi: plus i run 5s & 6s so it would be useless :lol:
snoop i just visited your web site, great vids, do u run the rear diff lock in your maxx? if not u need to fit one.
much better for climbing, truck is much less likely to get bogged down. see ya'll

leaky diffs
 

hi snoop/all...as we have good weather over here atm i took truck for a test run today at a construction site and found this Attachment 7435 ohh great for climbing shame ive got no rims for my paddles atm.
here is latest picture of truck sporting proline mk1 hummer body and now have ultra hard inserts on the standard tyres and what a difference, no more ballooning :yipi: . so heres before.. Attachment 7436
and after Attachment 7437
as you can see i had a good time and my mate who ran his xtm monster nitro thing had a slight problem, he opened his throttle and servo gave up at full bore :rofl: so hes only got steering and he was trying to catch the truck :rofl: much to my amusment.
snoop ive tryed running with thick oil in front diff but it seems to just puke it all out within a few runs. you have same problem? i think a seal would cure it like a savage diff with an o ring.
good luck with the lipos byee

bulkheads
 

hi snoop/all...thanks snoop, your maxx is sweet too (be sweeter with brushless). what made you choose the lst housings over the hybrid bulks here in monsters shop?.
60.000wt is better but if u mainly run off road maybe 150,000 is more your thing, had it in both diffs on my savage and it was still streering ok on tarmac, but off road was great no more one wheel spining, was like tru l.s.d.
you have o ring in your diffs? i aint on my 3906 :oh:. like shaft is 5.96 mm and diff gear hole is 6.10 :lol: quality. it wont hold oil so i just got grease in there till i sort it ( so loads of front wheel spin).
see ya soon all

great looking rig you got there, what esc you using ?

thanks for the info, just got an emaxx roller but didnt want to turn it into a nickel and dime rig, ill go check on pricing for the speedo since your set-up in the vids seems to run well.
