Video Jammin bigbores on a Gmaxx
 

I've tried powerstrokes, traxxas bigbores w/2 stage rpm pistons,supermaxx supershocks and nothing compares to the bigbores I stole from my Jammin x1 crt. If you have shock towers with a bunch of adjustment holes knuckleheads, FLMs, Novas all you need are the shocks and the mounting studs (the top mounting hole in the shock is larger than standard size maxx shocks) Here is a Video note the nice landings no slapping or bouncing. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...64402387&hl=en They also let you get more power to the ground.

sick vid about how fast is it going in the vid

low - mid 30s:032:

Any pics of the setup?

very nice vid! Looks like fun!

Dont forget to leave a rating on google for the video (stars upper right hand side):018:

The heat sink you have is good for cooling. It won't help hold motor together
though. I have messed a motor up like that. Just for reference.

I peened the can to the endbells with an awl and hammer. The heatsink also has two 4mm bolts that go into a slotted mount that extends from the upper frame plate. It keeps the motor from flexing the mount, which keeps the spur from getting thrashed. It also transfers heat from the motor into the frame.

I've heard stories about XLs blowing their guts out during a crash and didnt want to risk loosing a motor, controller, and God knows what else. I ran for a long time with just the motor peened and had no problems other than stripped spur gears. I have a pic on the next post:

You can see the peening were the blue can meets the aluminum.

Okay. You got it covered then. I hate to see a good motor wasted.
I have had this happen to me on 7xl.

Heres a funny vid
 

VID.

Got some pics with the new slipper natural on my Gmaxx

Looks very nice smhertzog! How do you like the handling with the new slipper?

The slipper natural is nothing short of incredible it makes you a much better driver. The car no longer wanders or darts when hitting ruts or bumps and puts power to the ground much better. I did have to grind off the cooling fins on the revo slipper so they didnt hit the motor mount just incase someone also runs into this problem. Great job Mike:027:

Nice truck! Looks like it handles really well.

Is that a 7xl or an 8xl motor?

What dia. are the shocks? They look the same as my supershocks.

7xl

They are larger in dia. and the rears are much longer. The mounting hole on the shock cap is also larger than stock just like the UE shocks.

I love this vid just thought i'd tell you.

Thanks I'm going to be working on a race video of my Gmaxx and my friends brushless Savage. Hopefully I can get it done before winter sets in.

thats gonna be a nice video keep us posted:)

Very sweet g-maxx! Gotta love the slipperential! <--(spelling?)

Bye:018:

I'm guessing they are 13mm vs the Ofna/UE Supershocks which are 12mm (If I remember correctly)

Sounds kinda funny to hear you say that in January from PA. Kinda cray warm weather so far this year huh?

Over 80* here in Southern California the past couple of days. Crazy indeed. Supposed to be quite cooler today though.
Very nice truck smhertzog, I'd say you have a buck or two wrapped up in that thing.

Very nice job Smertz! Winter is coming very slow here in MN too. Very very little smow and has been in the mid 30's....keeps the BL nice and cool though! LOL

So, do the X1-CRT shocks mount up without any mods? If they dont, what did you have to do to make it work? Also, what weight of shock oil are you running? Is it heavier because only four shocks are supporting the weight instead of eight?

Youll need

Jammin (Ofna) Bigbore shocks one pair of fronts and one pair of backs
Jammin x1 crt shock ball posts
Unlimited Engineering Knucklehead towers or FLM

70 front 60 back...yep

You could also use mutilator shocks. They are about the same size as the traxxas big bores.
