What will break next on my Maxx?
 
I'm using HV-Maxx on 14 cells

Have already upgraded

all 4 drive shafts to MIP's
center drive shafts to MIP
Steel idler gears from UE
Will be intalling Gorilla Maxx single speed transmission soon. I think that will leave one plastic gear left in the trans? I would like to replace it any suggestions?

What should i upgrade next the diffs?

No one makes a metal output gear other than OTB that I know of.

The diffs are the next to go. UE diffs will handle anything you can throw at them, but if you are on a budget the maximizer cups will get you by. FLM offers 1/8th scale diffs for the maxx, but I've never seen them up close. Maybe some one here can comment on them

i know serum, coolhandcountry, and mmdooley have them and love em. thats what i would suggest with the 6 spyder ue diffs or the 8 spyder if you can swing em.

So you guys think the stock diffs wont hold up to a HV on 14 cells?


If i use the UE 8 Spyder diffs what spur and pinion gears will i need? Right now i'm using 70 spur and 14 pinion and i'm happy with the power and speed it gives me.

I use Maximizer and it's more than plenty for diffs'.

The stock diffs are enough to take the HV on 14 cells anyway. I would consider the Gorillamaxx chassis instead.

I never liked the look of the Gorillamaxx chassis i don't like how you can see the batteries below the truck body.

you can always lower the body. I run a chassis similar to the G-Maxx chassis, and I've got some low profile shock towers so the body sits a bit lower and covers up the batts
