Steel Dog bones for stock length E-Maxx?
 

I am looking to buy some Steel dog bones for center shafts (front and rear) on my stock length E-maxx. Does anybody know what length I need? Does RC-Monster carry them?

Thanks

Yes hang on I'll get the link.

Here they are. In the comments section, as you check out, tell Mike what size you want.

OH really? Just tell him I need dog bones for a stock length E-Maxx??


I have revo centers in there now, and I just twisted the rear straight off the u-joint. My setup now is a mm/8xl on 14 cells.

I have a MGM 16018 esc on the way as well as two 3s packs. So I'm definatly going to need some serious driveline upgrades for 6s power.

mkrusedc, I know from the traxxas forums that you have a pretty fast setup in your Emaxx now. How does it hold up to so much power? And what upgrades have you done since (or before) your setup to cope with the power?

These are my current upgrades:

Upgrades:
Neu 1515/1y/f
MGM Compro 160/16 controller
2 TrakPower 2S1P 4900 mAh LiPo battery packs
PowerStroke shocks
12 Associated slipper balls
Traxxas wheelie bar
RPM suspension arms
RPM axle carriers
Traxxas 3.3 turnbuckles
Traxxas 3.3 drive shafts
Revo wheels
RC-Monster steel dog bone center shafts
Traxxas 3.3 gray bulkheads
Power Pole connectors
Futaba S3305 MG steering servo
Gorilla Max single speed transmission
RPM shock towers and body posts
RC-Monster steel idler

Still to come:
Strobe slipper
FLM aluminum diff cups with modified gear and 3 mm screws
Pro-Line velocity dish wheels w/ MaxxMasher tires

That is what I did. They work well.

I have been running 4s on 6s it would bee insanely fast. I would suggest getting a FLM extended chassis for better stability.

My diffs are my weak spot. I will need an aluminum combo bulk and 1/8 diffs to get it near bullet proof.

Good luck and keep us updated.

I've got pretty close to what you've got in upgrades.

I'm just afraid that with running so much power in the E-maxx, I'll be constantly breaking driveline parts.

How do you find the speeds using 4s?

Constant wheelies if I want them. Tires still balooning 15 minutes into the run. 6s will be insanely fast. You are going to need mad driving skills and throttle control.

My current gearing with 6s:

Differential Ratio: 2.8461538461538462
Transmission Ratio: 1.7222222222222223
Other Ratio: 1
Spur Tooth Count: 52
Pinion Tooth Count: 17
Total Voltage: 22.2
Motor KV: 2200
Tire Diameter (inches): 6
Tire Ballooning (inches): 0
Motor Current Draw: 0
Motor coil Ω: 0.006
Spur/Pinion Ratio: 3.06 : 1
Total Ratio: 14.99346 : 1
Tire Circumference (inches): 18.85 inches (478.78mm)
Total Motor Speed: 48840 RPM
Vehicle Speed: 58.14 MPH (93.4km/h)
Effective Speed Rate: 2.62mph/V (4.21kmh/V)
Effective KV Value: 2200

=:surprised: and different gearing.

They are 98.5mm long, mike has got PLENTY of them.

Is that for the FLM chassis, stock is 70mm isn't it?

i thought it was 98.5. Come to think of it, that might be wrong.. My MIP centershafts are relative short.. more 7cm than 10..

Yea, believe there more like 70mm. I thin the rear for the FLM is more like 95ish.

Awesome, thanks guys.

I ordered the set for the extended chassis, and asked for the set for the stock chassis in the comments. Hopefully I get the right ones!!

In the meantime, I just chopped up a spare stock Emaxx drive shaft to use in the meantime. It's identical to the revo center shafts once cut down to size.

both UE center dogbones are 70mm. when i got the FLM chassis, i ordered a 105mm rear ti dogbone and there was still plenty of room.
