Thanks for the site comments, Doug. I see you have ade a couple order this weekend, actually! (I must remember to refund the extra shipping you have paid!). The goal is to make RC-Monster the one stop shop with everything you want or need, backed by knowledge and support. Not perfect for sure, but I do my best, and am blessed with tons of great, knowledgeable members on the foums here(many of whom I consider friends) that are as helpful as any you will find anywhere.
For the diffs...the UE diffs are indeed out of stock, but I do have equivilents available(these are not listed yet, though I will get them listed in time-have a few details to work out first, though). You will need to replace both diffs at the same time-hybrid bulks are a great upgrade to consider at the same time, as these will house the 1/8 diffs and are lightweight and strong. As a general rule, add tow teeth to the pinion for a similar overall ratio when switching to the 1/8 diffs(so 16 on stock diffs = 18 w/1/8 diffs).

Are the equivilents cheaper? Which hydrid bulkheads?

Thanks.

FLM hybrids. The equivilents are about the same price, actually. Just the diffs(no cases, so hybrid bulks are needed).

Thanks. Thats my problem when ordering online. I always seem to forget things and have to place another order. I think I made 5 separate orders in the last week! LOL I would be interested in the hybrid diffs as that would kill two birds with one stone. Looking forward to seeing them in the store.

Do you sell the diff sets, bearings and cups to go with th flm kit? I didn't see them in the store.

The diffs aren't listed yet(but I have them-along with the needed parts to install them into the FLM hybrids). I still need to "inventory" these diffs and get them listed. I can take care of anyone that needs them through e-mail, though.

Could you email me the list of parts needed and prices when you get a chance? My email is sluggie24@aol.com
Also, do you know when you might be getting the integy suspension kit back in stock?
Thanks

The blue Pro3 suspension is usually in stock. The silver comes and goes pretty quick, though. I will e-mail you some diff details in a little while. :)

Do the Hydrids come with the right sized hingepins (e-clip)?

I think you need to order different hingepins for the hybrids.

Mine came with the bottom hinge pins. The top are stock and not included.

I have to say something about this theory of amps and voltage. I have ran a 9xl on 14 cells and 20 cells with the same gearing. I get longer run time out of the 20 cells. Yes it works out to less runtime on paper. With the higher voltage on a motor make the motor have more torque and thus propelling the truck with less amperage of use. This is form my experence.

sluggie24 I have an 8xl in my savage that I run on 6s lipo which is roughly equivalent to 20 cells. If mash the gas from a dead stop on a high traction surface I can almost do a backflip (without a wheelie bar), the rear bumper never touches the ground and the truck lands on its front end.

A long wheelie bar is required.

it looks like it has plenty of power
nice truck

poconoblmaxx, is your truck geared really high for top speed? I would have thought you would flip right on your lid if you mashed a setup like that. Unless maybe the tires just break loose? I actually want to be able to ride on the wheelie bar for about 20 ft on my way to 45-50 mph! LOL When my truck was stock it would just flip over in second gear with 14cells without a wheelie bar if I mashed it.

Its geared 15/52 I think and hits 47mph. I have a wheelie bar on the back in that vid. The truck rides on the bar for quite a ways down the street. You won't have a problem trying to do wheelies. Its kind of hard to convey the awesome explosive power of the xl motors. You must experience it. Oh and take it from a guy whos been there with maxx diffs, just buy the UE ones. You'll end up there in the end anyway.

I hear what you and everyone else is saying about the diffs. Problem is I just dumped a bunch of $ on this truck this week and the only reason I even bought it was so I can have fun with my son while he drives his. I'm gonna just wait till these diffs fail before I drop any more $ on it. That could be in a week or so if this is gonna have as much power as everyone says though...... LOL I'll have to let everyone know how the truck runs when finished, I should get all the parts in the mail by the end of the week and be running this weekend.

let us know how long the diffs last :035: :035:

They will last longer if you drive a smoother run tires are small, and the slipper is not set tight. Just some driving tips for not tearing them out on first packs. ;)

it is very important to run the slipper loose when you are running stock diffs because even the titans can eat up the diffs when the slipper is tight

Can anyone tell me what usually fails in these diffs and how they fail? Is it just that the ring and pinion gears wear out from lack of lubrication? Like I said earlier, I already have the aluminum diff case and cup with 3mm screws and rubber sealed bearings. Would the robinson gears be worth the money or are the stock ones good enough?:032:

Well I had the stock diffs with aluminum diff cups and the 3 mm screws. I broke up the spyder gears and stripped the teeth off the pinion a few times before changing over to the buggy diffs. I had the robinson as well.

With the titans i have never tore up a diff in my Emaxx ( and mine is pre wide-maxx upgrade) Ya'll must be very rough on your Maxxes. and i had my slipper as tight as it would go

Ok guys. After much thought and reading I just bought the new 1/8th buggy diff set and hybrid kit that Mike now has which is as strong if not stronger than the UE one. So now no breakage problems!!! Anyone interested in 2 brand new complete aluminum diffs? Used 1 time only! LOL

Sounds like a good choice. I was glad i bought them. Sounds like a good ebay item.

Here's a question. I see alot of pics with the speed controllers mounted on a plate/bracket that is mounted to the motor mount. Is this something that is just home made by so many people or is it a manufactured product that I can get somewhere? If it is available where can I get it? Just looking for a good spot to put my 9920.

Not ideal, but will do a job... https://ssl9.secure-svr.com/rc-solut...?iProductID=36

Thanks for the info maxxdude1234! Why not ideal? Is there a reason why this would not be a good spot to put it? It looked like it would be a good spot for keeping cool.

well it mounts up high and the lower the better

In case the truck flips you mean? Or to keep the cg low?

I have one of these and it is OK, but I ended up making one.

I like mine because I can rotate it sideways or even upside down.

I stopped playing with the RC solutions because it is a bit short for the 9920. When securely mounted, red and black wires have to make too tight of a bend radius to be very practical.

Drilling a large hole to put the wires through might work. (Through the tray and motor mount.)

I just thought of that while I was typing. I will give it a shot when I figure out my controller issues.

There is a guy on eBay that sells them for $8.00 his ID is spotswerth. I have purchased three items from him and had great results. I see he has one up for auction right now. I did a buy it now for the 8 bucks.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

All you need is a stout piece of aluminum (1 or 2 mm max), a way to cut it or have it cut to size for you, and a bench vise and hammer to bend it. Drill your holes, stick on a thin piece of foam and you have a custom speed controller mount. I did the same thing with my battery mounts also, but then again I have access to a metal bandsaw and an ironworker to snap cut my pieces:) You can find the aluminum at the larger hardware stores. Good luck.
