My kliiMaxx
 

Hi all!

I have put some parts in my maxx..

-3.3 conversion
-FLM diff cups
-FLM bulkheads
-FLM skidplates(f/c/r)
-Traxxas big bore aluminium shocks
-Integy's aluminium shock tower's
-MGM 16018 esc with fans
-BK wanderer 20XL06 motor :rofl:
-Maxamps 2s 8000mah lipos ( 2pcs )

So this is my setup now..i will buy gorillamaxx set someday..

I have ordered Lehner 1940/6 motor to my maxx...cause bk will heat up too much even i have short gearing.What should run be with setup i use now?in series?I wonder if i order 3s lipos(8000mah) and run them in parallel connection...probably enough speed but longer run time :neutral:

pic's coming ...:yes:

Welcome to the forum Hotti;
Your setup is very hot! that 6XL motor will get hot rather soon; use a tempgun to know what temperature it's running at, the 7XL is hot on 4S, so the 6XL will be even hotter.

I ran my 7XL on 3S and it was great fun for bashing. (and the temps where fine too)

This might be an interesting read;

Ok..i will read that..

I have now 18T/64T gearing.I use venom smart temp.Yesterday i ran whole batteries and venom says that temps were 49'c.Not hot at all:wink:

So here it it...

Some power :mdr:

Sweet!!!!!!! Those are some mad driving skills. What settings are you using on the speed controller?

I am seriously impressed by that truck. When you are doing speed runs like that I would say lower the suspension as much as possible, should help with stability and cut down on the wheelies a tiny bit. You are going to need a bigger wheelie bar though, that is some crazy power....

Thx mates..more power to come with lehner 1940/7 :whip:

Esc setting:

Car mode <->
light brake
auto timing
reduce rpm
4s li-xx
free wheel
no brake at neutral
no auto correction

Like that...Yesterday with 20XL07 feigao the temps where about 50'c...:diablo:

50*c, thats cool as a cucumber. You've had no issue with setting up the MGM correctly or cogging etc I take it?

Ömm?Could tell it "easier" cause my bad english skill?:oops:

:lol: I mean, you had no problems programming the speed control or anything like that?

Hehe...ok neil..now even I get it :yipi:

But but..

I had some major problems with esc at the beginning..

First it worked ok(the very first run).Then i tryed to programmed it to use with nimh cells.When i put nimh's on and turn the power on esc starts to beep beep beep....beep all the time.Even i put the default setting in it still beeped.

But when i had put default in about ten time in row it started to workin :yipi:..Now if i have run with lipos,i programmed it with lipos to use nimhs.then when i have drived with nimhs and want to use lipos i program it with nimhs.This way it works perfectly.Love the esc.

First i programmed it with transmitter, but now i have usbcom+ and CC02 cable so I can do it now with pc :whip:Much easier and safer.


So..

I have had problems with rear driveshaft's..they wont hold on..wonder why :whistle: :rofl: :whip:..Well..i had revo some time ago and had some parts left on it.So i modded revos drive shaft to fit my kliimaxx on the rear..Revos are much stronger,hope that will hold.

Pics with mod maybe tomorrow.

It seems alot of people are having issues programming the MGM esc, so you are not alone. As for driveshafts, the stock emaxx ones dont last very long as you discovered- tmaxx 3.3 shafts, knuckles and turn buckles should be fine though.

If you use the USB cables and program the MGM speed controller through your computer it is very easy. my .02 cents

Thx for replies guys..

I allready have 3.3 conversion but now I installed the 3.3 driveshaft's too.
Not too much work need's to be done to fit driveshaft's...

Here some pics:

Btw..What parts you guys recommend if i want to bullet proof my maxx but still keep it "light"?
I have thinked gorillamxx chassis...But does it increase weight??
Allready done:
-FLM diff cups
-3.3 conversion
-3.3 aluminium tube turnbuckles
-FLM skidplates f/c/r
-FLM f/r bulkheads
-Traxxas big bore aluminium shocks

So should i go with gorilla?Or with stock with some alu parts?

Hmm, tough call. The G3 chassis doesnt add that much weight I dont reckon, and it also has the benefit of lowering the centre of gravity which makes for more stable handling- but not as much ground clearance. One possiblilty is to swap the stock emaxx chassis for a t-maxx chassis, and make just a few mods to fit battery trays/straps. That would keep your ground clearance for bashing, and add alot of strength too.

So far I have been using a stock chassis without a problem. I am getting ready to install aluminum bulks so I might not be able to say "without a problem" for long. The G-Maxx and FLM are extended chassis and will give you a little more stability to go with all that power.

Some new pics..

Autumn bash..

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Nice pics & a very nice place to bash- I so wish there was somewhere like that where I live to.

Nice pics :smile:.

Great pictures man!!

My bashing spot looks oddly similar to that. Only difference I see is that the sand is soft where I bash and is completely dry. But there are a bunch of hills and dunes just like that place.

Thx guys!!

so the revo 3.3 driveshaft didn't last:lol: It's not brake yet but the yokes are like screw's :smile:..Hopefully i get today traxxas steel driveshaft's!

Man, you managed to kill the 3.3 yolks? That must be some crazy power and/or driving....

Yep Neil...i think it is both power and driving..or then my slippery is too tight..

"my slippery is too tight"
**must... resist.... urge.... to... make.... crude.... joke....**

:mdr::lol::rofl:

Wish I had that problem:cry:

Yep guys..i drive with stock slippery and the spurs don't last if loosen the slipper that much when it start's to slip.So i have drive with slipper tighten all the way...

With novak i was able to use slipper like the way it's ment to be used but now my system got much more power/torgue..so have to go with tight.

When i manage to get strobe slipper..things will be different.

Sorry Hotti, I understand what you are saying about the slipper issue, its just that when you said 'slippery is too tight' by mistake instead of 'slipper is too tight', I got a rude picture in my mind....

Show us the picture :intello:

Serum would chop me up into little pieces if I posted a suitable picture; hopefully this will suffice:

O ------8


:whistle:

:oh:

LMAO!!!!!!!!:rofl::rofl:

Gosh, you guys ALWAYS crack me up!!


Hotti, nice maxx man! And AWESOME place to bash! Nice vid too:mdr:

Thx mate...

Just got installed those traxxas steel driveshaft's.ALso got other two 2s2p 8000nah maxamps lipos...got four of those now..:party:..maybe two more..:mdr:

Sweeeeet!
