got my HV!
 

I got my HV-Maxx 2day
love it and im satisfied with the speed with 12/70 gearing
didnt thermal or anything with 14cells gp3300s
one prob tho
the pinion screw kept coming loose
how do i solve this?
I'll post pics of my maxx with the HV on 2morrow

Use a synthetic rubber glue or loctite if you can. These might help.

which would be best threadlocker...
blue or red?

I really cant understand what do you mean by "blue or red"?!

I always use the blue loctite.

Thank you,
Promod

I use blue also. You can get red lock tight which I think has another purpose (comes in bottles the red...).

(Whats with the music video in your signature? Sort of annoying).

I use the blue stuff, too. Be carefull with the red brand. There are some types which fuse your screws into the threads for eternity.

(agree with Nick about the sig)

Definately the blue locktite. The red stuff is too strong (will likely not get the setscrew back out without stripping it).

Don't get any loctite (blue or red) on the inside of the pinion hole. It sticks the pinion to the motor shaft and makes it very hard to get off.....I know :rolleyes:

Good point! A little goes a long way.

Yep, I learned this the hard way, too. Less is more, as we say.
In the worst case, a heatgun is your friend ;)

dont need locktite no more
i got Robinson racing pinion and the set screw is different from the stock pinion setscrews so i jus changed it and it auto locks sorta by itself
oh yeah
does Brushless motors sound like sorta a whistle?
louder than brushed right?
sorry bout the music video
Mike removed it for me

Looks good!! Thanks for editing your sig.. ;)

Wow! Running it on all stock?

I wish I could run stock on my Titans but I can't, lol. :(

Trigger Happy Nick...

this things quik!
i took it to my friends house and ran it
he has a dirtpatch behind his house so
the dirt over there is all loose so now my E is dirty
didnt break anything so far


brushless are lil bit louder than brushed ones right?

If its loud, you probably have the gear mesh too tight. Mine is like a silent warrior.

Yup. Totally agree with the Monster.

uhh sorry but wuts gear mesh?

The mesh(alignment, tightness) of the pinion and spur gear. If it is loud, it is probably too tight.

ohhh
ok thx Mike

A stock Maxx can hold up to the HV for quite a while.
But I would upgrade those tamiya plugs! One of the best and cheapest things you can do to your maxx.

Silent Warrior?! Yeah, I like that.
Especially if you use the gear-cover, it should be pretty quiet.

ill check the "gear mesh" 2morrow as i clean my Maxx

Happy ride. Remember to fasten your seat belt.

hahah k harlock
