Gorilla Maxx Single speed conversion
 
Does anybody know anything about the Gorillamaxx single speed conversion. Are they any good? When will they be in stock?

For the nitro and electric. They save money and weight alike. You will have continuous engagement to the 2nd speed, no first speed. Your output shaft must go through some modification befor you can use it in the single speed tranny.

Captin your almost right in your description. Yes you are locked in 2nd gear. But you dont have to modify the output shaft, you have to modify the INPUT shaft. The directions are included in the kit. You loose almost 2oz of rotating weight, plus the conversion strenghtens your hole tranny, because of the aluminum back plate.

and its also for electric only. no nitro.

My only concern now is it being locked in 2nd. I have a 9920 esc and a wanderer 9xl. I'll probably run 14 or 16 cells. Will this setup be good with the single speed.

crazyjr 12.19.2005 05:18 PM

I used to run titans on second gear so yeah it will be ok

squeeforever 12.19.2005 05:31 PM

with the torque of a 9xl you wont need 1st gear at all.

I'm sure Mike or someone will let you know when it will be back in stock.

4u2nv 12.28.2005 05:44 PM

captain harlock 12.28.2005 10:04 PM

4u2nv 01.04.2006 08:36 PM

Anybody hear anything about how much longer.

RC-Monster Mike 01.04.2006 09:20 PM

Any day now. Really. Any day!

4u2nv 01.04.2006 09:27 PM

Thanks. I'll be waiting. I need one to start putting my Maxx together. I've been buying & buying & buying but no building.

RC-Monster Mike 01.04.2006 09:40 PM

LOL. Been there, my friend! Been There!

Sylvester 01.04.2006 09:43 PM

So mike, any day now eh?

Sylvester 01.04.2006 09:43 PM

So mike, any day now eh?:)

Chase023 01.11.2006 02:54 PM

Recently, I only run my E-Maxx in one gear so It might be a good idea doing the conversion to lighten it, due to the fact that Hardly use the 2nd.

4u2nv 01.13.2006 06:18 PM

Still nothing available? :cry

captain harlock 01.13.2006 06:19 PM

Did they (Gorilla maxx) discontinue it by any means?!

squeeforever 01.13.2006 11:23 PM

i dont think so. remember, gorillamaxx isnt that big of a company and those sing speed cases take a while to machine. i dont think they would discontinue such a popular product.

Is that the FLM combined with Gorilla? Using half the FLM tranny and the plate from single-speed?

Serum 01.14.2006 07:05 AM

Yes, it is Nick.

Chris911 01.14.2006 12:39 PM

got a link for the FLM?

MetalMan 01.14.2006 12:49 PM

Look for "CNC Machined E-Maxx Transmission Half-Case" on http://www.rc-monster.com/products.php?pg=8 for half the case. Full case:
