@kcaz: the halfcase just went straight together with the tranny :neutral: sorry about not selling it separately, i know alot of people are looking for a strobe setup in good condition, but i doubt i could have sold the tranny without a slipper.

So ive hooked the MGM back up, just for some fun, and took it out for a quick run the other day, not long enough for any video though :eyes:. After a few passes the ESC was upto around 145 F, and thats when i stopped running. Both hthe motor and the batts stayed cool. I thought that the higher rated MGM would have run cooler than the MMM? :neutral: Its geared for about 58mph at the moment, would gearing it more towards 45mph theoretically bring the temps down?

heres a quick pic, looks alot slicker with the mgm i think.

Oh yeah I don't blame you! I think I'm going to buy Serum's if he ever logs back on LOL!

Yeah you never really did get the power just right. I know you will though! As has been said this is possibly the greatest Maxx ever. Candyman's is nice as well as any UE truck with that Emaxxler chassis.

Welcome back.
 
Hey Jordan nice to see you back in here playing around again. It has been a while.. Of course lowering your speed just a tad should bring the ESC temp down. Your builds are always good examples for the rest of us to use in our own projects. Anything new on the horizon?

Hey Jordan,

Which MGM do you have? Mine seems to run a little cooler than my MMM.

Hot motor + cool esc = under geared.
Cool motor + hot esc = over geared

IIRC jordan has the 28025. Maybe the fan on the MMM keeps it cooler than the MGM?

there is only one e-maxxler chassis and plettenbergs owns it. jordans truck is a gorillamaxx. Neither serum or anybody besides plettenbergs owns an e-maxxler. Candyman's was also a gorillamaxx. I think you done got your maxxes confused!:lol:

Kcaz25 07.13.2009 10:02 PM
LOL there are a few Emaxxlers! He built a few for his buddies. As for CandyMan's, look again Harold...

he hasn't built them yet. I'm on top of the list to receive one. Candyman's started as a gorillamaxx and is now all custom. Trust me, I know the maxxes

I'm not talking about Plettenbergs poster. I'm talking about E-maxxler (creator) said on the UE forum that he made a few for friends.

i see. plettenbergs is recreating it, making a dozen I think? I've googled and googled, the creator may have made a few, as far as i know plettenbergs is the only one that still exists. they're like dinosaurs.

Kcaz25 07.13.2009 10:47 PM
You are right. The are super rare and his buddies must never have hit the forums.

JERRY2KONE 07.14.2009 03:51 AM
Ok
 
OK if there are more EMaxxlers out there, then where are they now? If you know of one, then please contact him and have him post up some pics for us to see.:whistle:

thats right, the 28025, i'm a bit puzzled over the heat as well, the MGM shld be able to handle the amps way better, are there any settings i could change in the controller that would effect the heat issues, motor timing or frequency or something?

Havent really been able to run with a body because of the heat, but id use the jconcepts truggy body with the MGM or the F-150 body with the MMM as ive trimmed it to fit.

Goiod to hear from you Jerry, got all your maxx builds up and running? Not sure about projects, ive got a summer (winter for you guys) project in mind which involves a custom chassis with revo or truggy front/rear ends, 10s and a 2230. But im not sure if that will ever happen.

I think ill gear down, but im leaving again pretty soon, so that might have to be in december :lol:

Hello jordan
 
Nice to see you posting again Jordan. No the last few months have been soley dedicated to working on projects around the house. Laying 500 sq ft of concrete pavers at 50 years old is not an easy task, but it had to be done. Luckily the project is completed now, but we are about to leave for our summer vacation(Vegas). So the R/C's will have to wait a few more weeks for me to have time to play.

I don't know any of them nor do I know E-maxxler. Like I said obviously none of the ones he made parts for ever hit the forums.

There is only one (1) eMaxxler Chassis, and I have it! The 12 copies were changed, modified and made longer & wider, and are called eMaxximums...and I don't think they were ever produced, except for his single prototype version.
