Transmission

[Serum]

Well; here is the deal; the 3.3 transmission your planning on using has got a 2speed automatic transmission, so you need to stick to the mechanical brake, unless you are going to lock it in 1 gear. (this disables the 2speed, but gives you the ability to brake on the motor.)


The stock e-maxx transmission is pretty tough, but needs a few upgrades before it is.

Good thing about the 3.3 is that it uses a top-notch slipper (same one as a revo)

The stock e-maxx transmission uses 32p gears, and the slipper is rather weak. (don't know what your goal is? how many cells/choice of setup etc.)

the e-maxx transmission also requires a few other mods; steel idlers (they only fit the e-maxx transmission to answer your other question, they are 20T hardened MOD1 gears btw.) the inputshaft (the shaft that sticks out of the transmission to bolt the spur on) requires some mods as well; it uses weak hollow pins, which need to be replaces with massive pins. While some use hex keys they slam in, i use hardened steel nails. (you know, those black ones for concrete)

good thing about the maxx transmission is that it has got a motorplate bolted right onto it. With the 3.3 transmission you need to figure out another way.

Another thing you could do is get an FLM chassis (around 90 usd) and make it all fit like a glove..
