so i know nothing about the big brushless motors... ive owned 1/18th brushless stuff, but it was much easier to understand what i needed.
ive looked throught this forum and read plenty.. but damn dude!! reading "you need a 9956 to hook up the 4452 which will make the 3351 too hot!"
what the hell? i cant understand what anyone is talking about!! lol..

i want to go brushless on my emaxx, but this is a toy... im serious about buggys these days. the maxx is for intermission fun!:005:

right now its stock, ive decided on the flm chassis(was gonna go g2 but i dont like the batts so low for a basher), probably the hybrid diffs cases, and flm towers. im going to upgrade the drivetrain with revo stuff, i have tons of that crap still!
aside from that im only gonna fix what breaks..
i do have some 7 cell packs, so im lookin for a low cost bashing quality brushless set up. im not racing or trying to impress with brand names really...
i see several here that look good, but im not sure which to use? i have no idea what im lookin for.

could someone hook a brotha up with links to what i should buy? any other things i might need to keep it in one peice is welcome too.

again... this is not my primary rc, far from it. i want to make it as fast and as cheap as possible.

thanks!:eek:

linky, linky!!:027:

Hey man i am using the same setup but i went with the gmaxx chassis because it was too cool to pas up. As for a system go with the mamba maxx and 7xl 540cand a ubec. This will give you the most bang for the buck you get a good motor and fast and a good castle ecs. IT is all on the site mike does have a sale going on now and that may fit you needs.

http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...540C_XL&cat=20

i really like the gmaxx chassis... but i cant get over the batts hanging out of the bottom of the lid!
if i go flat pan chassis, i might as well turn it into a truggy with a center diff... i dont wanna go in that deep! lol..:002:

thanks man.:027:

ROFL! That's about the funniest damn thing I've read in a loooong time!! :D :D

Smilie faces cannot convey the laughs I got out of that! :wipes tears from eyes:

It's a whole different language. :)

Then just lower the body. LOL i am just kiding i know what you mean but the links seem to be right.

revopqrs · 01.03.2007, 01:06 AM

lol... ya gotta love when they attach numbers for names of things.. who came up with that idea anyways? its like what they say about computer geeks... they intentionally use a technical language that normal people cant understand!! it makes them feel smarter i guess?

why isnt anything labled "compatable with emaxx"? i dont have a clue how many amps to be lookin for, and the 7xl, and 9xl... what tha?
does it fit a freakin emaxx, thats all we need to know!!
are their really that many other big electric mts that people put brushless motors in? what is there 2 or 3 trucks total in production?
they could make it much easier if they labled the stuff "1/10- 1/8 mt"
thats all im sayin....:eek:

so if you can lower the lid enough to cover the sides of the packs how come noone does?:024: i always see the packs hanging out....

GorillaMaxx360 · 01.03.2007, 01:53 AM

i hear you BUT for some they want to know all that jazz about the amps cell watage, and such. sometimes i even need to know this stuff

I dont know man it would seem better for the aero dynamics and it would look cooler i know that is what i am doning on my maxx. The rule is the body must be flush with the bottom of the chassis.

If your looking for a low cost reliable basher I would go with the BK Warrior 9920 ESC instead of the Mamaba Max. Not as many bells and whistles as the Mamba Max, but made for use in that type of vehicle.The Mamba maxx was really not intended for a monster truck. It was meant for a staduim truck size application. It works, but the Warrior 9920 is more at home in a MT size truck. http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...od=9920warrior But if your going to do it.... Do it quick. Not sure how much longer the holiday special will last and then it goes back to $200 instead of the $150 its on sale for right now.

I think the other stuff you have listed below is good. The 8XL motor from the link you posted below is good. On 14 cells that will be a very powerfull fun and reliable basher. I'm assuming here that you want a set it and forget it system. You would proabbly even have some headroom on that system to toss in a couple more cells if you wanted to on occation. Id start with gearing around 18/66 or 20/66 locked in second gear, and I would also recomend this (http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...rod=RCM03idler) as a must get upgrade. The stock plastic one will not last long with that brushless setup.

Edit: The way you feel reading this stuff is the way I feel with the nitro stuff... Nothing really makes sense, nitro tuning is just kinda like black magic to me...:007: :002:

sjcrss · 01.03.2007, 09:29 AM

I would have to agree with jhautz....about the warrior 9920, it is very simular to the micro 2095 im running in my gmaxx....... they both accept upto 20 cells, while the warrior is rated for 4 more amps than mine is, and I have no problem running a feigo 7xl on it.....especially on 14 cells, which will be upgraded to lipo by the end of the month..... so that is my recomendation......

revopqrs · 10:39 AM

awsome guys, i appreciate it!!:027: i look forward to seeing my emaxx brushless! ill post some vid when its done!:030:

do i need such a gnarly BEC? $37 seems kinda high? or is that a good one?

do i only need one idler? ive never even opened the tranny on my max...

sjcrss · 10:51 AM

I have used a simular one like this, and have never had any problems, just remember to pull the little jumper plug, so your servo's will run on 6v...instead of 5v

I can personally say excellent things about this UBEC. It small, Light and it just plain works. What more can you ask.

As far as the idlers... You probably only need one. Once you switch to brushless, you will just to lock it in 2nd gear anyway. You won't use first gear, its not necessary with the torque of the brushless system. If you want to use both first and 2nd gear get 2 idlers. But I would just ditch the shifting servo, lock into 2nd gear and repalce the 2nd gear idler.
