Yeah that makes three.

I took one of the new E maxx's apart tonight and discovered a few things about them.

Did you know?:

1. The new E maxx has larger inboard bearings on all 4 corners for the wheels?

2. The new E maxx uses Rubber sealed bearings everywhere?

3. The new E maxx has steel Wheel Hexes??!!

They really have done alot of improvements on this one

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!

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes (I've been studying the exploded views alot)....

I think it was a clever move by traxxas to use the same parts on the T & E, saves having different moulds for all the parts. I wonder if the T-maxx will get an update with the better diffs and a longer chassis, then it would use the same lower braces too.

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!

Actually the last WaterProof EVX-2 I looked at was going for 120 before shipping...

So it actually is 3 x 125 or so = 375 = MGM 16024

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.

I certainly will Sike, I will test the diffs in my HV tmaxx first, and will wait on the 2 speed for this emaxx build. I think it should be out in a few weeks!

[sikeston34m]

So exactly what do you have in mind for this setup?

I'm going to use the Monster Pro 125b in my E maxx outrunner setup with the 2 speed kit. (as soon as I can get it)

I'll probably go with a CC BEC so I can go 5S or 6S. It all depends on what the motor can handle and keep temps in check.

The ESC should be more than enough though.

I'm thinking about adding a Novak Cap to the power lead. These things have a TON of Zap and are really small.

[lincpimp]

Well, it may be very similar to your outrunner setup. Depending on how strong it is, I may have to go hv with it, and try out some high speed runs! Who knows!

Oh yeah, those novak caps are great. I have a mm with one on it, works much better!

To my knowledge, the T-Maxx 3.3 (which came out a while ago) uses the better Revo diffs, and I know it uses Revo knuckles and slider shafts.
