Priorities
 

If I'm going to use a motor like a 9xl what are the prior things I must change in the E-maxx truck. 18 cells are my choice.

From what I've been told:

Steel idler in the tranny
Strobe Slipper
CVDs all around

Sleebes

That should hold up fine, but if you want a bit more protection, you can get aluminum diff cups, the stock plastic ones are weak.

i would go for the flm hybrid bulks. they are MUCH stronger with the 1/8th gears and you'll find the stock bulkheads are a very big weak point on the truck.

Seems good so far. you know where I can get a strob slipper kit beside here? ( its out of stock).

check mike, he should be able to get them in no time.

looks like your in luck. there back in stock.

lol, wut luck. you should still e-mail mike just to onfirm if anythign is outta stock. I wanted deans wires but it was outta stock, foudn out there was \still a bunch. Mike fixed the site right away.

What's the use of the strobe sprong kit?

Won't need plyer's to adjust the tension against the slipper plate. Instead of a locknut it's a big ring and instead of the metal spring it's a rubber block thingy, thus the name sprong.

Is it really important to have it?

Not really, but it is very usefull to quickly adjust the slipper plate presure.

Great. I only need to sell my things befor I start my e-maxx project.

wut type of things/????lol

It's not only useful, the material used in the sprong retains it's shape very well and applies pressure evenly, unlike the spring, therefore the spur gear does not wobble compared to the spring setup.

I'ma need one of those. Thank's for pointing that out.

Unlimited Engineering's site has them, I guess.

I'm sure Mike can get it too;)

He told me that Strobe hasn't sent him any of them yet, but he'll stay in contact. He's been away for a while now. Hope he's doing fine.

UE has been out of stock on the sprong as well(Strobe is the supplier, so if I can't get them, I am pretty sure noone else can either at the moment. I am on the list for when they become available again, though. Hopefully soon!
