What I wanna know is, How is the 2 speed kit going to work on this Transmission?

The Radio that came with this does NOT have the additional channel for shifting.

However, there is a small knock out window in the chassis that appears to be where the shifting servo goes.

There is also a blockout plate on the transmission that appears to be for a sensor like the Revo has.

Could this setup automatically shift to 2nd gear based on RPM?

THAT would be cool!

And auto shiting sensor based servo actuated shifter would be cool, would allow forward and reverse from the electric motor without needing a one way bearing. The complete 2 speed kit is listed for the emaxx at $55 IIRC. Plus it has different ratio gear options like the revo and tmaxx.

Is there a website that has pictures and details about that?

Tower hasn't posted any details yet

Yeah I usually set them by feel as well, even the 32p gears and the mini-t gears, whatever pitch they are. It seems to work because I've never stripped a spur.

I don't know what you have in your tool box, but if you're always taking em apart and putting em together like me. Then let me suggest, you need one of these.

I cut the bend off some allen wrenches. The chuck on this locks when it's not under power. Just break em loose and run em on out. When tightening just let off when you feel the end is near, then put the final twist on with the grip. It works good and REALLY speeds things up. Just thought I would pass this along.

Oh to match the thread, I used this on my E maxx.

We've got gears!

This is RCM's 25 tooth mod 1 pinion mated to a 40 tooth Revo spur.

I haven't got to try it yet, but it's looking pretty promising.

lincpimp · 01.01.2008, 10:06 PM

Looks good Sike, how much smaller pinions could you fit before the motor makes contact with the tranny?

sikeston34m · 01.01.2008, 10:18 PM

You could probably go down to an 18t or a 20t pinion on the 40t spur.

I know the 22t mod 1 pinion I have will work with the 36t spur, but that's just about the limit.

Notice how much adjustment there is left in the motor mount slide?

A setup like this on a Mean lower kv inrunner would be awesome also, for you guys that are looking for tougher ways to gear up.

Wow!! Two of them?!? Feel free to send one over my way.

Doesn't that make 3 or haven't I read something earlier in the thread?

Did you guys know sike is sending me a maxx as well?

Its a crime to have 3 of the same car you know?

Im so jealous of you guys, I want a new maxx!

C-5Quad · 01.03.2008, 01:14 PM

well 3 new maxx's = 3 new esc units sold on ebay for $100.00 each that = 1 new Quark 125b for your projects.

Actually, 1 center chassis with transmission and steering linkage = 1 used quark 125b for sike!

I should have an interesting project once these parts show up!

Are these guys trying to figure out how to spend MY money!??

Linc, I dropped your package off at the Post Office. It will be to you as fast as Priority Mail flies. It is insured also.

Please let me know how this new build goes.

Alot of great parts there.
