Yes, one silver 7XL, my savage will get another motor..

I happen to have a 9L, don't know what to do with that.. It's so small.. A tad too large for my mini-t though..

I could take it off your hands.....not sure what it'd go in, but it'd make it go fast! :D

Dafni 09.27.2005 03:14 PM

I also have this kinda leftover 9L. (but selling it to an 'merican would be pointless, because of shipping and custom fees. Okay, nbcaz? )

True, it's small. There was a time when everybody suggested them. (pre-7XL era, remember?)

Ti skids are great, I have some on my maxx.

The truck will look more crowded when it's finished, Serum. The lack of cables makes it look very tidy;)

My Revo wont leave me. Not for as long as there's the prospect of me taking it to see the nice dutch maxx:Love:

Serum 09.27.2005 03:25 PM

It will happen for sure Daniel!!! (the meeting)

the cables will mess up my clean ZEN architecture maxx..


Yeah, ncabz, that 9L rule Daniel just gave is going for me too...

;)

Hear that ping as I tap the nail Nbcaz. ;)

New trucks are always so darn pretty! It is a shame I can't seem to keep any of mine as shiney and new as that one. that is a sweet ride, Rene. Very nicely done. The aluminum single speed tranny will complement it nicely. The 7xl will, however, flex that motor mount if you take a medium to large jump. My 1940 put a hurtin on my motor mount lately(though it was a 37 foot long, 15+ foot high jump!). I think a brace under the rear of the motor is in order(for both of us!).

Awsome truck Serum. Hey Mike. Is that jump similar to those in your video's?

Serum 09.29.2005 01:00 AM

Okay Mike, i get the hint!

;)

Soo.... Who has some brilliant ideas for a rear brace for these XTRA LARGE Motors? As you may recall the 1940 is going mine.

Dafni 09.29.2005 06:22 AM

Motor brace: I always imagine some angled alu with a U-shaped top, same diameter as the motor. Should be easy to grow ;)

Papa 09.29.2005 07:13 AM

Hmm... "To Grow" :L: Yea, I wish these things grew on trees. So all I had to do, was got to the farmer and make him an offer.
I am trying to picture the brace attaching to the rear plate. How do you feel about just doubling(sp) the Gmaxx motor mount? Would it fit?

coolhandcountry 09.29.2005 07:48 AM

What if you made a gmaxx mount out of thicker metal? Make it a bout 6-8 mm in thickness.

Papa 09.29.2005 07:57 AM

It's an idea. Unfortunately, I have not ordered my CNC machine yet. ;) That machine would come in handy. Maybe grow my GMaxx lipo lower plate at the same time.:P:

mt_enthusiast 09.29.2005 08:45 AM

perhaps something along the lines of a pillow block without the need for the bearing?

Gustav 09.29.2005 12:35 PM

I think Daf's suggestion is good.A piece of L-angle aluminium with a channel in top for the motor to rest on should take the stress off the motor plate.I think that'll be enough,i don't think it necessarily needs to attach to the motor,just support it,maybe rubber padded would be good too.
