Mechanical brakes on new E-Maxx?
 

i'm just about to get the new emaxx. But does anyone know whats the best method? i'm thinking to use the T-maxx brakes... would it fit does anyone know?

100% impossible.

The brake mechanism is built into the tranny case on the tmaxx and revo, but the emaxx has no such mechanism- it uses motor braking as its a purely electric vehicle, not a nitro conversion.

If you could shoe-horn in a revo or tmaxx tranny, and link up a brake servo in place of one of the steering servos (or shift servo even), then you might have something....

dammit!! but the emaxx new transmission seems like it can take a beating =]

The 3905 tranny can take a beating - no need for mech. brakes on this truck, either. :)

nice one!! problem solved... thanks mike!! =]

I would like to use mechanical brake too on this truck, because on 6s li-po on my MGM 16018, i'am scared too see a beautiful white somke from my controller if i use motor brake:oh:

I think you are more likely to fry your controller from WOT and something getting caught in the spur than from motor braking
