Okay, she's finished, well, she's together anyway.
Yet to fire the ESC/Motor up and I'm still awaiting pinions.
Right now she's got 20/65 gears (Buggy diffs) and running 6S. Probably need a few more teeth on the pinion [?].

Pics and words HERE

nice job, slick as olive oil, ready to race $50 on me

Really Nice build! I like the rpm but you do realize those towers flex alot. How much does it weigh? When you get it running post some video if you can. I wonder if cc is going to come out with different colored motors or are all of them going to be green.

Yea I know they move around but I prefer flex to bend or break. If they fail i'll look into alternates although I really don't like alloy towers as they have such leverage on the bulks

Ant updates yet?. Hows it run? I just bought a g2 chassis and will be doing a similer build. I was wondering if you thought about extending it?

marcus 01.21.2009 02:39 PM

No, I didn't get a chance to run it yet. The snow is pretty heavy and I refuse to send it through snow/slush/salt. Besides, when it's -20 outside I'd rather sit inside and look at it instead.

I have absolutely no intention of extending it no. I won't be racing it competitively so don't really see the need.

Rivermaxx 01.21.2009 02:54 PM

-20 now thats cold I live in california I cant imagine it being that cold. Its been 70-80 here for the las week. Extending it isnt just for racing not does it handle and jump better but it helps with high speed stability oh not to forget help with keeping the front wheels down with brushless power. I think am going do a UE monoblock but I think the g-maxx store has the upper aluminum plate and lower skid (front skid flattened out) in stock It is the least expensive option.

Very nice.

suicideneil 01.28.2009 05:41 PM

Very sexy indeed...

mambarustler 01.28.2009 07:26 PM

Never been a big fan of the E-Maxx but this one turned out really nice.

suicideneil 01.28.2009 07:42 PM

Me neither- but these things have as much in common with the stock Emaxx as a Revo does... (driveshafts and knuckles basically- aftermarket parts ftw!)
