Muggy diffs in a maxx

[mriccucci]

Ok so things have been a little hectic lately, between my best friends wedding and my sister moving to Texas i've been neglecting my truck. I ran it once but the temps were through the roof, and it handled like crap. I bought a sway bar kit for an 8ight and got them partialy installed. I'm thinking about going to a 6s system to cool things down and get a better battery.

Any suggestions on a motor and controller combo?

MMM esc and motor combo- pre-order it now from tower or where-ever has it advertised. You wont find better value or quality in that price bracket ($300-350).

question about the lst 2 diff convertion
do my traxxas driveshaft and center cvd can be use whit this convertion
a got a 3905 maxx

You'll need to purchase the adapters mike sells, here
. those will go in place of the normal outputs for the left and right. so if you replace both diffs you'll need 4 of those units.

Or you can buy the revo stub axles and cut the threaded portion off.

Oh god this poor truck!!! back again kind of but i got some dumb questions..... If I just plug in and run my twin MMM will the LVC work right for the two 4S batts !?!?!?! I am asking because back a few months for the life of me I could not get the castle link to work for me :(

[suicideneil]

I believe there is an 'auto lipo' setting that will detect how many cells you are running, but whether this is default or not im not sure. Start your castlelink programme first, then with your castlelink, make sure you plug in the little pcb into the usb lead, then plug that into your PC/laptop. Now connect the pcb castlelink to the rx lead of the MMM, and it should be detected by the PC and programme.

Ever heard of the Unslow harness for running a dual BL setup?..

No please enlighten me :)

I also see that there are still problems with the MMM v2? Guess ill send mines back/ ano this bitch black/ and try to figure out how in the hell to get that dam castle link to work on my computer.

[suicideneil]

If your MMMs work fine, I wouldnt bother sending them back unless they die- the replacement V2s will be more reliable, but if it aint broke & all that..

As for the unlsow harness:

[_paralyzed_]

that unslow??? harness just runs the batteries in parallel, so both controllers always see the same voltage, effectively making it a "one battery, two esc, two motor system" you're not on a vista computer are you? vista doesn't like the castle link, you should though get the link working and make sure your mmm's are set to either 4s or auto lipo, better safe than exploded

UNSLOW = co-designer of the parallel harness. When traxxas unveiled the V-twin concept, millions of noobs on the traxxas forum instantly wanted to know how to do their own version, so me and Unslow came up with item to make sure that lipo batts discharged evenly, preventing the lvc kicking in on one esc before the other.

Thats me !! 1 of the 1st Million n00bs to use it !! Made the vtwin alot more reliable and fun. With crapamps 3s 5000 lipos flooring it or breaking hard would trigger one or both of the LVC's from the voltage drop of the crappy lipos, but the unslow made it run like a champ, never replaced an esc or motor on it - like the even-n00bers I read about blowing out systems left and right. Neils great at helping n00bs

I'm sorry to break your bubble but the parallel harness (and series adapters for that matter too) had been in use by the flyboys way before you and unslow "designed" it . Just like how they were the first ones to use Lipos before land-based rc vehicles start using them.

Yeah, nothing special about a parallel harness, but I do remember suggesting them to the "noobs" before they started making them for their V-twins. Suicideneil was the one who drew a diagram of how to make it and Unslow was just the first person to make one with traxxas connectors and post a picture of it, so it's a parallel harness, not an unslow harness
