What cells are you using? enerlands? and what Neu motor?

Nice maxx Walter.. :p

Nice CRT!, i like that plug thingy you made on the diff.

You have got your CNC up and running?

cells - 3700 apache - and the 1400kv neu -

Yea - its been up for a couple months now - the plug thingy was mikes idea - btw he is coming down in an hour to probably draw up the .5 mount - Thanks for the kind words Rene

You need a few ft of these babies;

I did my other maxx with the blue wire stuff - it was nice - but the extra work and the extra shrink wrap to match was a pain in the arse - so nice and clean (without wire covering) is the way for me -

SWEET. Very nice and CLEAN conversion.

Wow, nice job HNC! Seems so empty that it looks like something is missing! :)

Very nice, I like it alot!

Bye:027:

very nice trucks walter....I wonder where i saw that maxx at...hmmmm

Very nice clean and simple it's amazing how much room there is in the CRT :)

Q The Apache 5s 3700 is only rated at 55a max? Is that going to be enough to run a 9lb truck with a 125amp esc.:032:

I can't believe how much room is on the chassis. You can almost fit a whole 'nother ESC on it, if not two of them.

Nice clean set up. I am curious to see what kind of run times you get with the 3700 Apache's.

truck looks nice and clean. so is that the 1512 2y then? is so I am interested in seeing how it performs in the truggy. I was going to pick up that motor for my 8 and also try in the 8t but ended up getting the 3d (1700kv) because I wasn't sure if the 1400kv motor would be enough. I haven't tried the 1700kv motor yet so I am not sure if I made the right choice or not.

1700kv works very well on 4s... and I bet it's awesome on 5s.

On 4s, gear it about 3.5:1 to 4:1 on the pinion/spur.... (I have been running mine at 52/14 and it runs really good there)

Wow, I really like the setup there! That thing is pretty big then?!

What is the estimated top speed?

GD, have you tried the 1512 in the truggy? Just wondering if it will handle the extra weight or if I should get a 1515 for that and just run the 1512 in the buggy.
thanks

Is that Papa's SuperMaxx?
Nah, I don't think so.

Nice Jammin you got there!

My 1700 is the 1515... but I'm positive that a 1512 will do just fine esp a lower kv wind like that.

Maybe a 2600kv 1512 would not be the best, but a 1400kv should be money.

I still have not run the 1512 in a truggy.... but I don't see much difference between the 1512 and 1515 in my buggy.

Aha !

So that's what Mike's been up to. I'm trying to bribe him to get something done for me first :005: - also a Jammin' conversion.

By the way, very nice conversion. With 5S on one side, how's the left/right balance of the truck ? Any issues?

Regards,
Joe Ling

Nice HNC - that thing is clean! Great job!

Nice conversion Walt!

I can't wait for my 1/8!

sweet stuff.
is that already a new designed motor /diff mount?
did you make it or did mike make it?

Thanks for all the comments - actually the weight is almost exactly the same as the conversion Mike has done on his losi-8T - he is running 5000 4S and me with 3700 5S - the weights are about 6 oz different - (mine heavier) total is 9.6lbs without body - Mike and i ran it last night and it goes quite well - it will even flip over with too much throttle (on the road) - absolutely no shortage of power - its set up for 35 ish for racing - SJCROSS - let me know if you remember where you saw the supermaxx:005: , Joeling - i havent run it on the track yet ( this sunday ) it seems not too bad on the balance though, Jollyjumper the design is mikes design, but i changed some stuff on it - ( rotated the motor up 30 degrees to make clearance for the speed controller ( which is recessed into the 7075 chassis to help get rid of the heat ). Thanks for the encouragement there Dafanapolis - Captain - I thought papa sold his emaxx last year, but i dont remember exactly what it looked like. It ran so good that i didnt want to hit the cnc machine last night - thats saying a lot...

You wanted to do injury to your CNC machine when your vehicle runs crap? using a certain device to hit it?

I noticed the 30 degree on the motormount, what do you do to support the motor? i like it when the motor is flush on the bottom of the chassis/motorplate. it makes a nice support.

Hmmm, HnC....let me jog my memory...could it have been at last years bash....both are nice trucks

She looks GOOD!, great job man...

[QUOTE=Serum]You wanted to do injury to your CNC machine when your vehicle runs crap? using a certain device to hit it?

What i meant was that i enjoy milling a lot - so when i dont wanna mill - it has to be something pretty interesting to make me not want to mill - and the 30 degrees was so that i would have a nice place to recess the speed controller into the chassis - and there is no other support for the motor - Mike looked at it last night and saw that it was very strong - so there is no other support besides the aluminum motor mount...

[QUOTE=HotnCold]A bit off topic here Walter, but what springs (for the shocks) are those on your smaxx?

Supermaxx shocks - all 4 black neweuser

GREAT TRUCK !! one question,which will be a better racer your supermaxx or your Jammin or pretty close given the same good driver

im gonna say the jammin - its 9lbs 6ozs compared to the supermaxx with dual 5s packs tipping the scales at around 11lbs, not to mention the jammin is about an inch lower - so were going to have to see this weekend..

I wouldnt mind seeing a vid of that race. That is a very clean looking conversion; you people clearly have far too much money going spare to keep building master pieces like that. Like your new Avatar too.... very true.

I actually just found my camcorder - and if possible - will record the action - i just might need help posting the vids - but im sure that would be possible from all of you here....

any update on the crt.5 mount? also how was the truck on the track? is the 1400 nue enough? If it is enough motor I will pick one up when I order the 8t motor mount (hopefully they are done soon). thanks

I felt the neu was wonderful - running on 5S - geared for, if i remember correctly, 36mph - worked like a charm - got warm - but not hot.... I liked it...

Hot N Cold I would like to convert like what you have granting that I already have the esc and motor,how much do i need to spend to get the truck and motor mount and how difficult it is to do it,I do really like your conversion it it awsome,by the way hod did you do with the race?was it a better racer than your supermaxx?
