Suggestions needed
 
So I bought a Emaxx complete roller with Tx/rx for $80 shipped. I bought some hopups to upgrade it when it got here. Well I thought I was being scammed as I didn't see the Emaxx until 2 months later. So in the meantime, I traded a guy my Neu Rustler for his MMM powered and pretty hopped up Emaxx. Then the other Emaxx came in.

So I have 2 Emaxx's now.
List of hopups I have:
GA 7075 bulks
HardCore Racing bulks
2 sets of Proline Powerstrokes
1 set of Ofna rear 1/8 shocks
Single motor plates
1 set of Red Tube Links
1 set of Ti skids
1 set of Traxxas 17mm spline hexes
Plenty of Truggy tires
Set of RPM shock towers

Powerplants:
MMM
CC/Neu 2200kv motor
1515/1.5D/F

Things I'll probably need:
CVD's
1/8 diffs
UE Knucklehead towers


I'll need one more ESC and 2 receivers to keep both. And I want to get a GorillaMaxx G4 chassis for one.

My question is what would you guy do? Any suggestions? A basher and a racers? Sell one and the extras? A racer only? A Basher only? Any other sugestions....

A basher and a racer for me.

scarletboa 09.22.2009 11:17 PM

is it the new or old e-maxx? if it is the new one and you only need 1 maxx, i'll be willing to take it off your hands for $100 shipped.

nitrostarter 09.22.2009 11:26 PM

I'll keep that in mind scarletboa.

They both are 3905 maxx's.

Any suggestions on usage of parts and possible parts I should be looking into?

bulks... lots of bulks...:lol:


I had a tekin 2250 in mine...
full RPM arms/hubs/truetrack, they work great once you make some copper rings to hold the piviot balls in

center CV shafts, the TRX ones are good:yes:

aftermarket hingpins:whistle:


I kinda wish I wouldn't have sold mine with all of the $$ I had into it... I just saw it up on RCT a week or so again:lol:


pick up one of these and a small pipe cutter or hacksaw at menards for <$5

RPM arms too, I broke 6 before I finaly bought the full set...

Rear shock tower upgrade is a must!

nitrostarter 09.23.2009 12:37 AM

Yes! I have a set of RPM's but I'm looking into some Knuckleheads.

Looks like a turd to me...

LST diffs, rcm diff outputs, rcm 8mm adapters for the center traxxas sliders. Rpm arms are a must, as are the al bulks. Leave the bumpers on. Some addl bracing from the shock towers to the center chassis is always good.

Or sell em both and get a lst... And run it stock, less breakages than a done up maxx.

And get out of my basement, you are scaring the kids. Put some pants on for pete's sake.

_paralyzed_ 09.23.2009 03:03 AM

sell the powerstrokes- $100+ a set on fleabay. Ofna(supermaxx) shocks can be had for $20 a pair or less.

RPM everything. I'd sell all the bulks and get FLM's and ofna gears.

Build one solid basher.:yes:

And for Allah's sake put some pants on:no:

pinkpanda3310 09.23.2009 08:27 AM

What can your budget afford? I'd have 1 basher and 1 racer ( that is if you race ). If not then one fully bombed racer. As noted by everyone, rpm gear, shock towers and upgraded drivetrain are stand out points.

One thing i never liked personally, is it didn't have a wing. I forgot the name of the maker but that after market one mounts behind the shock tower and I hear the mounting points on the bulk gets bent from bad landings.

I'm glad I don't know what you look like, there's too many references to your lack of pants.

nitrostarter 09.23.2009 10:35 AM

Pants don't fit, thats why I never wear them, sorry...


Hmmm... So maybe sell one and make a great basher, or sell both and get a LST(which I have been wanting)...

Question: The guy told me it has GA bulks on it. Did GA's come with bulkhead braces that said MaxxTraxx? I remember the site back in the day, I couldn't remember tho...

bruce750i 09.23.2009 11:06 AM

That poor 1515 1.5d/f needs some lovin. I hope thats not your solder job on the MMM.
