My kliiMaxx

[Hotti]

Hi all!

I have put some parts in my maxx..

-3.3 conversion
-FLM diff cups
-FLM bulkheads
-FLM skidplates(f/c/r)
-Traxxas big bore aluminium shocks
-Integy's aluminium shock tower's
-MGM 16018 esc with fans
-BK wanderer 20XL06 motor
-Maxamps 2s 8000mah lipos ( 2pcs )

So this is my setup now..i will buy gorillamaxx set someday..

I have ordered Lehner 1940/6 motor to my maxx...cause bk will heat up too much even i have short gearing.What should run be with setup i use now?in series?I wonder if i order 3s lipos(8000mah) and run them in parallel connection...probably enough speed but longer run time

pic's coming ...

Welcome to the forum Hotti;
Your setup is very hot! that 6XL motor will get hot rather soon; use a tempgun to know what temperature it's running at, the 7XL is hot on 4S, so the 6XL will be even hotter.

I ran my 7XL on 3S and it was great fun for bashing. (and the temps where fine too)

This might be an interesting read;

Boy, you have a lot of power it this.....Cool vid!

[Hotti]

Thx mate..

[mkrusedc]

Sweet!!!!!!! Those are some mad driving skills. What settings are you using on the speed controller?

[suicideneil]

I am seriously impressed by that truck. When you are doing speed runs like that I would say lower the suspension as much as possible, should help with stability and cut down on the wheelies a tiny bit. You are going to need a bigger wheelie bar though, that is some crazy power....

[Hotti]

Thx mates..more power to come with lehner 1940/7

Esc setting:

Car mode <->
light brake
auto timing
reduce rpm
4s li-xx
free wheel
no brake at neutral
no auto correction

Like that...Yesterday with 20XL07 feigao the temps where about 50'c...

[suicideneil]

50*c, thats cool as a cucumber. You've had no issue with setting up the MGM correctly or cogging etc I take it?

[Hotti]

Ömm?Could tell it "easier" cause my bad english skill?

[suicideneil]

I mean, you had no problems programming the speed control or anything like that?

[Hotti]

Hehe...ok neil..now even I get it

But but..

I had some major problems with esc at the beginning..

First it worked ok(the very first run).Then i tryed to programmed it to use with nimh cells.When i put nimh's on and turn the power on esc starts to beep beep beep....beep all the time.Even i put the default setting in it still beeped.

But when i had put default in about ten time in row it started to workin ..Now if i have run with lipos,i programmed it with lipos to use nimhs.then when i have drived with nimhs and want to use lipos i program it with nimhs.This way it works perfectly.Love the esc.

First i programmed it with transmitter, but now i have usbcom+ and CC02 cable so I can do it now with pc Much easier and safer.


So..

I have had problems with rear driveshaft's..they wont hold on..wonder why ..Well..i had revo some time ago and had some parts left on it.So i modded revos drive shaft to fit my kliimaxx on the rear..Revos are much stronger,hope that will hold.

Pics with mod maybe tomorrow.

[suicideneil]

It seems alot of people are having issues programming the MGM esc, so you are not alone. As for driveshafts, the stock emaxx ones dont last very long as you discovered- tmaxx 3.3 shafts, knuckles and turn buckles should be fine though.

[mkrusedc]

If you use the USB cables and program the MGM speed controller through your computer it is very easy. my .02 cents
