Steel Dog bones for stock length E-Maxx? - 09.25.2007, 09:39 PM

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?

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

= and different gearing.

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.
