Very nice truck, tell us how it runs :)

crazyjr 02.03.2006 04:38 PM

Yeah very nice truck. you'll enjoy it I'm sure

maxxdude1234 02.03.2006 06:50 PM

You would do well to get a uBEC. I doubt those duracell batteries are really up to the job. Nice looking truck btw.

coolhandcountry 02.03.2006 07:24 PM

The ubec would make your truck a touch lighter to. Looks good to.

crazyjr 02.03.2006 08:35 PM

E-maxx-kid you need to fix the pinion, it is almost off the spur

makana59 02.03.2006 11:13 PM

Looks good.. try to get vids so we can see how it runs.

boss 302 02.03.2006 11:24 PM

very nice truck a vid would be nice too

E-maxx-kid 02.04.2006 03:31 AM

Thanks guys, ain't really had a chance to run it due to the weather, and a few months without my 9920, but today hopefully i can get a run in :), probs will make a vid some time, when i get a decent amount of cells, would 16 be ok for this setup?

Jasper 02.04.2006 04:24 AM

Yes, 16 cells would run great! I also run a 7xl with the 9920 on 16 GP3300 cells, on my savage. It runs great with 14/52. Pulling wheelies is easy. But my runtimes are really bad. I get between 6-10 minutes. Let me know what you're runtimes are.

Thanks

E-maxx-kid 02.04.2006 05:42 AM

Yer this thing dnt wnt to wheelie locked in 2nd, but it is low to the ground etc, and much easier to drive at mo, still fast!

Good Eye - I was looking at that myself - wont last long like that -

orginizedchaos 02.10.2006 06:57 PM

is the e revo good for bashing jumping, rockcrawl generalmayhem

crazyjr 02.11.2006 02:13 AM

its a great basher and holds to a track very well. Not sure about rockcrawling but with long travel rockers it would be ok, you'll have problems with the lowered chassis

Serum 02.11.2006 03:27 AM

nice one!

the blue arms match very nice..!

E-maxx-kid 02.11.2006 05:03 AM

Sure does, a little bit heavy any suggestions on how to make it lighter, although the hv maxx powerd it fine on 18/66.

squeeforever 02.11.2006 11:58 AM

i would remove the rear bumper, and get a single speed for it, and go back to stock arms. the rpm are a good bit heavier since there nylon and not plastic.

Think i would rather get some flec tek for it, is that light?

coolhandcountry 02.11.2006 03:03 PM

The gorilla arms are aluminum and about the same as the stock but stronger. With 4 shocks it may be a touch lighter. I not sure if you need the 1/8 diffs for the weight you running.

boss 302 02.11.2006 03:11 PM

running the g-maxx suspension with 4 shocks is lighter

This is a revo?, gorilla arms only do maxx arms?

Sylvester 02.11.2006 06:38 PM

Its only for the e-maxx, id stay with rpm, the flextec arms could result in weaker bulks , or other parts.

E-maxx-kid 02.12.2006 04:22 AM

Is it possible to get alloy bulks/diff cases was looking for some.

Sylvester 02.12.2006 10:38 AM

i havent seen alloy bullks, but mike has some diff cases and internal gears, just look in the revo hop-ups section.

squeeforever 02.12.2006 03:06 PM

if you wait i think flm is in the process of making a bulkless system for it...

Sylvester 02.12.2006 03:11 PM

They are? IM IN for that!! Will it be using UE diffs?

Sylvester 02.12.2006 04:12 PM

I bet that peice of aluminum will weight a bit, but really, with a aluminum diff case / diff wont the diff be BL proof?

crazyjr 02.12.2006 04:40 PM

I hope they make two different ones. you have to drill two holes in the bulkhead, for the G2R and it would be easier if they did it

Sylvester 02.12.2006 04:42 PM

Yea, well if they make it, we will have to tell mike to tell FLM to make the needed holes:P

coolhandcountry 02.12.2006 07:44 PM

If they build it to take the buggy diffs. I may have to go that route. If they don't. I won't. I may look into a g2r. I am scared to ripping the diffs out all the time.

Sylvester 02.12.2006 09:15 PM

Leroy, the revo diffs are alot stronger than the emaxx diffs! And if you get alum. diff cases/ diff it will be very strong, it should be near bullet proof. Unless you are gonna try running 30 cells ... :P

crazyjr 02.13.2006 01:43 AM

Don't tell him that, he might try it

E-maxx-kid 02.13.2006 05:20 AM

Sounds good, I'll have to get a set of them.

Sylvester 02.13.2006 08:25 AM

Yea, hes cell crazy!

thats better :027: :027:

Sylvester 02.13.2006 05:26 PM

Good, but really, 30 cells = tons of weight, 30 cells worth of lipo = good yes? :)

boss 302 02.13.2006 05:28 PM

30 cells worth of lipo would be nice

E-maxx-kid 02.13.2006 05:30 PM

16 for me :p, Ib3800 I think.
