Things they dont make but should
 

I wish they would make:

Monster Max esc now!

Slipper natural now!

An LT motor with deeper mounting holes

A Neu motor with no holes

A quark 125 c with cooling fins and fets that all touch an external heat sink, adjustable motor timing lower brake and soft start settings

10 Gage deans wet noodle wire.

Heat sink/motor mount one that would mount up like a nitro engine.

Metal diffs for mini lst's

New arms for e/t maxx made out of plastic but longer , made for just one shock, upper adjustable link, and no more pillowballs no more tie rods.

RPM should make skids front and back with an integral bumper/mount, made out of thick plastic like their one piece center skid.

Rear cvd for ext E/T maxx's

Velcro battery straps made out of woven nylon.

Proline servo savers and powerstroke shocks nice move proline!

Extra heavy springs for jammin x1's

Tires with nylon plys in the casing of the tire, packing tape sucks and internal ribs add weight.

A beadlock wheel that doesnt weigh a ton



You got that Santa get those elves moving:018:

I think that is a very good list! It seems they don't ask the users in what is really needed or what works good!!!

Or how about a chassis and battery system, were the batteries would go into the chassis like a cordless drill battery pack goes into the drills handle no more plugs pulling out or arcing on the metal chassis nad best of all no more removing the body to remove or install the batteries:018:

How about a female that changes into friends and beer after sex?

they do make light beadlocks i just dont know if they would stand up to bl power. Made for t/e maxx made from titanium compant says they work great with t-maxx but a bl e-maxx has much more tourque and speed. did i mention no glue or SCREWS.www.ti22inc.com

I'd just settle for them becoming deaf and mute.:027:

And I thought I was rough...

They are pretty cool but they are far from lite. I weighed an RPM wide offset rim I had laying around and it weighed 1.4 oz. The ti wheels are 3.3 oz and thats without the retaining rings and probably the aluminum hubs and brake disks. So they are probably over 4 oz. They would be good for a rock crawler or a show truck bling bling.:018:

I've been toying with this idea for some time now. This idea was sparked by the need for a quick pit solution for racing as apposed to removing plugs or chassis arching though (yikes) :013:

-Setback arms for the stock e-maxx.. (RPM)
-lipoholders that understands most lipo's have got the wires sticking from one side

I have three requests;
Mamba Monster Max(naturally)
A universal slipperential for MT's in general
and a ground breaking Jato from traxxas, In electric, with reversible trans (so can run conventional setup on slick tracks and X6 setup when traction is good)

I know the slipperential is coming as is the MMM, but i think the Jato in the setup i mentioned above would break the associated/Losi juggernaut and would be a better truck. I know i could make one from a nitro, but i'm lazy and want a finished and refined product.

An electric Revo from Traxxas that comes out of the box with brushless motor and an ecs that supports lipo batteries. I wont hold my breath though.

or a new e-maxx that uses the t-maxx hop-ups from 3.3:)

That is VERY likely to happen in the future, or maybe a new e-revo! :004:

hmmm sounds productive!

That's gonna be pricey so I don't imagine they'll do that. It would be nice though. I can see Traxxas overhauling the emaxx before they make an e-revo.

I think one, if not both are in the works...

I can't believe they haven't made an E-Revo already. I thought for sure there would be one not long after the Revo hit the shelves.

I thought they could call it REVOLT

Idk about you guys but an E-jato would be pritty sweet..kinda like the designe of an X-6 2wd buggy(its a conversion for the b4) but using jato parts.

Baby steps. Lets get that E-Revo on the market before we go talking about a E-Jato that would basically turn the 2WD truck market upside down and inside out.

I don't know. They already have a few 2WD electrics, but only one 4WD electric. I can see them making an e-revo before an e-jato, but I really see them updating the emaxx before either of those...

i thought about that...(the pede and rustler).

They do? Where?

I think they more of have the "idea" of a 2WD electric. But no one actually makes one thats worth a dam. Well.....except of coarse for FLM, but even theirs lacks a drivetrain that can take any real power. The oil tuned dif in the jato would truly change the way we look at 2WD brushless. I'm pretty sure we would see crazy speeds, reliability, and racing performance that the old crustler will never be able to deliver. Just think. Imagine a 70mph FLM brushless rustler, that doesn't break every time you gun it....and doesn't handle like a brick. Wouldn't that be fantastic?

Lol. I didn't say "good" electrics. :)

Actually, I think those are fine for what they are. No, they can't take BL power without mods, but they weren't meant to. Then again, there aren't many stock drivelines that can! Once you get any of those to the point where they can take the power and handle well, you are in the price range of a lot of better trucks anyway.

A brushless Jato would be easy for them to do the way it's set up. I just don't think they will, at least for a while.

I am sure they give the e-maxx a second life. The t-maxx has come in 3.3 form. The e-maxx will come with these driveshafts, slipper type and bulks too.

That would answer many guys prayers! Mine included!

I have a huge feeling the E-Maxx is going to come with an HV system stock, though probably a special slower one, like an 8.5. However, it will have a plastic can like the Losi's. The HV isn't super fast, but its still faster than what I'd put in an RTR...

plastic can, like the losi's? what do you mean?

The Novak Brushless motors in the Losi's (I think they are a SS4300 motor) have black plastic endbells compared to the all aluminum on standard Novak Brushless motors.

This was done to reduce cost. I think they will do the same with the E-Maxx (if they supply an HV stock).

I doubt if the entire can is of plastic. It looks like a loose cap on/over the motor.

Normally the windings of BL motors are 'baked' into the aluminum shell, with high temperature lacquer. they make it as tight as possible to gain efficiency.

Like this I think

Edit:Oops beat me to it

He's talking about the end bell. My XXX-T brushless was like that. Had to buy an optional metal end bell to replace the stock plastic one. Can't seem to find a picture of the plastic one online, but here is the optional metal one I bought to replace the stock plastic.

Ah, yes, that explains.. thanks hyper.

endbell of plastic.. that would make sense,

I hate to see plastic on brushless motors. Not great for heat dissapation.

The plastic isn't so bad, but the bearing they use with the plastic...wow, it's like they design it to fail within a month. I have 2 of these trucks. First bearing went out so I ordered the metal bell for both. But, somehow when the bearing went and binded the motor it took something else with it. Probably something to do with all those censored wires going in there. Decided I may as well wait for it to fail before replacing the second one as well. That was a mistake. When it went it also took something else with it. So now both systems are in the mail on their way back to Novak for repair. Why am I telling you all this. Just in case any of you ever get one, buy the metal endbell/bearing/rotor upgrade and replace the plastic one ASAP. Don't wait for it to break like I did.

Sorry for the off topic. Figured I may as well say something since it was brought up anyways.

Sorry to hear that you've had so much trouble with them.
Glad you shared with us @ RC-M so we can avoid the same!

No worries. Gave me an excuse to put a MM/Lehner combo in it LOL. It's too much though so I'll prob go back to the innocent little novak when I get it back from RMA. These Losi's.......they aint Traxxas. Thats for sure.

They need to make a pro version of the revo with tubes, GTR shocks, and all of those traxxas hopups

You meant this as in Traxxas is better, right? :027:

LOL

I'll put it this way. Rusty/pedes break every other time I run them. XXX-T on the other hand...luck to even get a full pack out of it. Real lucky. But hey, just have to look at the bright side. The Losi's may break easily, but at least they are a pain in the ass to work on.
