Stay tuned and thanks for stopping by to check out the build!! I love having this forum to post up the progress since this is a place people can truly appreciate a Maxx!!

I went up to the school today to finish up cleaning after our event we had yesterday and took the Lightning. We also had Zane's chopper and his Pede. I went back after the event last night and cleaned up everything but the carpet, I vacuumed it last night so it was clean before I put it away.

I ran it for a while and it drove really good. Jumps nice and level and the attitude correction from the throttle works awesome. Really moves the truck a lot in the air. But I am using those LiFe 2S packs in series and I just don't think it has good juice going to it. Plus it might need geared a bit cause the motor was getting warm. I did not have my temp gun with me so I don't know how hot it was getting but not overly warm as I could still hold onto it.

But the slipper really faded pretty quickly. I am using one of the Kitchen O Ring sprongs that Mike said worked great. But these after they heat up just slip and slip and slip. Maybe I have the wrong kind but they are pretty stiff rubber. I am going to tear it apart tomorrow and see if maybe the slipper pads are bad. I burned my finger when I went to tighten the adjustment plate on it and it instantly gave me a blister on my finger so it was HOT!! Really HOT!

I have a couple brand new Hyperion 2S LiPo's I think I will try in it next. Maybe it will send better juice to that system since it is a rather hefty truck.

Anyway here is some video!!! It was awesome driving this truck. Cannot wait to get it dialed in and run some packs through it.

Well the Black and Yellow truck has been put on the back burner for the time being and I have no idea when I will get back to it.

I have been busy with the pile of parts I bought recently and it has sparked my interests a bit more talking with a couple good friends about the direction of the truck and the parts available we decided to make it a track truck.

I had a Thunder on this and then a Lightning came up on Ebay and since I just parted the Predator out I had some play funds. So now this has spawned!



RC Monster Universal Center Diff w/ Slipperential



It mounts great. My friend had one extra GA Ti center skid he sold me and a nice Slipperential. The slipper has been passed around to a couple different owners but never used yet. I will have to pull it apart and make sure it has the correct fluid in it.



I put a monoblock on it since I had shafts that were for a different build and they fit perfect. I might have to dremel a small notch where the rear drive shaft goes under the top plate but just ever so slightly. It clears but it is hard to see light in between it.....LOL!!



Not gonna mess with colors or anything. Just going to get a couple RC Monster battery trays for it and secure them to the chassis. Tune it up and toss it on the track. I have a new LST2 Crowd Pleazer shell for it so it should be long enough.

It has been busy moving my boy away to college so I have not got much accomplished this past couple months. I have a National Clod race to attend in October and then our series Opener is in October so I might not get back to these too soon but they are here when I am ready to tackle them. I got some Clod work to do!!!
