Project "Speedmaxx"

[lincpimp]

Yeah, yeah, had to have a quasi gay name...

Anyways, was throwing around some ideas in my tiny little mind and came back to the good old maxx truck. I currently am rebuilding the 6x6 maxx truck with the 2 BPP torpedo chassis, and have a new emaxx chassis that will receive some parts.

So I was wondering what to do with it. Not much of a basher, compared to the lst. Could sell it but I would get 100 bucks or less as a roller and I have a ton of maxx spares.

So I think I will revisit an old project of mine, making a very fast maxx.

Currently the truck sits with a stock 3905 (new emaxx) chassis, lst diffs, and full 3.3 tmaxx hubs, sliders, etc. Missing the trans as I converted it to 2spd for the updated 6x6, but I can score on on ebay.

Want it low to the ground, and to have alot less suspension travel than stock. Thinking 1/2" of up and down wheel travle will be fine. So something like rustler or revo shocks? I want the chassis to sit about 3/4 inch off the ground, low. Maybe a set of 4 1/8 buggy front shocks with some limitier inside? Give me some ideas!

Power system will be a 1717 on 6s, as I just picked up another. MMM for esc duties, and I have a single servo setup. Tires will be foams, I have a set of 14mm hex 5.5" tall foams.

Here is the calc with the highest gearing I can do with what I have here... May have to go back to maxx diffs to get over 100...

Differential Ratio: 3.3076923076923075
Transmission Ratio: 1.8333333333333334
Other Ratio: 1
Spur Tooth Count: 34
Pinion Tooth Count: 25
Total Voltage: 29.60
Motor KV: 1580
Tire Diameter (inches): 5.5
Tire Ballooning (inches): 0
Motor Current Draw: 0
Motor Coil Resistance: 0
Spur/Pinion Ratio: 1.36 : 1
Total Ratio: 8.24718 : 1
Tire Circumference (inches): 17.28 inches (438.88 mm)
Rollout: 2.10:1
Total Motor Speed: 46768 RPM
Vehicle Speed: 92.79 mph (149.05 km/h)
Effective KV Value: 1580

Will likely start with a larger spur and work my way down. Still need to test fit the 1717 on the tranny and see what gearing will physically fit.

Thoughts? Critisisms? Vauge babbling? Maybe some sort of piss poor gay joke from Bondoscrot?
