On the right track?
 

Hello everyone this is my first post although I've been enjoying this forum
for sometime. I just wanted to see if I was on the right track with my e-maxx
mods?:032: Here is my list,

FLM Ext Chassis
FLM combo bulks
FLM Shock Towers
Tsais Tbones CVDs
Thanks Mike for the above items, great service.
Novack HV-Maxx
G-Maxx Single Speed Conversion
Robinson Slipper
Traxxas Spool (for the rear)
Pro-line Steering Kit
Traxxas Big Bores
Proline Crimefighter 40 series Tires
Proline Wabasha wheels
Proline 23mm Hex Adapters
And Assorted Transmission parts

I'm going to stay with the factory arms and steering blocks for the time
being. If you'll have any suggestions on other things I might need I'm
open.

Thank you all

First off welcome to the forums! Thats an O.K list, first off, id take out the spool, id change those cvds to maybe UE or MIP. Those pro-line 23mm adaptors arent the best, i heard they break stub axles alot, id sell those on ebay and get DACE adaptors. Also, if the robinson slipper melts on you, id try a strobe slipper with a ofna 51 Tooth Mod 1 spur gear and pinion. But for what you have it sounds ok!

If any of those assorted Tranny parts happend to be aluminum, do your self a favor and dont use them, unless they are Ultramaxxed Gears, dont use Traxxas output shaft, input shaft

Thanks Sylvester and J Cates, I started collecting these parts before I found this forum. Since I haven't assembled it all yet I can make changes.

civicwil, like J Cates asked, are those aluminum peices in there? The absolute MOST abuse those can take is from a HV-Maxx, but anything over will bend those in no time!

yes your going good but a couple changes you could have done
here they are:
with all the money you've spent you could have probably got a professional bl setup like using a lehner (example). and a good bl controller.
another is, instead of the tsais dog bones you could have gotten the suppermaxx ext. dogs.
the flm parts are perfect but a nice gorilla-maxx chassis would be a bit better. But either way there good chassis.
yes like sylvester said the proline 23mm hexes arrent the best. "dace" has very nice good quality ones.
evereything else is pritty sweet and your on the right track!:0

Like he said, he didnt find this site before he got all that stuff so its ok.

I've only just started taking it apart and I'm waiting for
the single speed conversion from G-Maxx, so no aluminum
is in the trans. and know it won't get any at all. Luckily
I may have some one to buy some of the stuff I have now.
time to spend more money with Mike.

I can't thank you guys enough. As I get closer to being done I'll post some pictures.

P.S. Mike L. I've been sucked into the brushless 1/8 buggy craze so I'll be sure to get a better grade of brushless for it. Although if the HV-Maxx goes up in smoke who knows:027:

Good. Cant wait to see pics! :)

After looking around for some of the parts that were recommended and coming up short, (so many things out of stock):035:I think I'll put it together with what I have and then start planning for a 1/8 brushless buggy project.:004:
I'm sure as things break I'll make the upgrades.

I think you will like the truck when put together. It sounds like it will be nice.

np problem civicwil ;) i wanna see some pic man. thats gonna be sooooo sweet. man the hv-maxx is allright but when i saw sylvesters feiego in action on only 14 cells it was friggin crazy and now that hes upgrading to 16 its gonna be even betta! so i shure do wanna see some new upgraded pics civicwil!

even if you don't get the bl setup anytime soon.

Pis? LOL! Please edit your post!!

I think he trying to get it up so fast slyvsester he don't worry about the capital letters or spelling.

Yea... You know its still not edited... ;)
