Hard to tell; but is the shaft snapped of or not? If not, it will probably snap with the first couple of runs. a gearing ratio of 1:12 with that motor and a non sintered rotor will heat it up pretty badly too.

By the way, I never got to see your REvo finished cuz I been gone so long. Is it done? Got pics? Can you PM me with them so this stays on topic please? Thanks. Or email them if you still have my email?

Well, they all share the same concept, mechanic wise.

wow - i was going to say to take it easy on the guy, but after reading his response i'd say you've all been too easy on him!

neweuser · 01.18.2008, 05:48 PM

And all I messaged him with is I stated nothing there was rare and that HV sucks. I also stated that he had wide arms and not the racer x arms, so nothing rare and to come here.
Not try to be hard on him, but the ad is terrible. And then he responded, seems like a scam is all.

Ah, Actually I was thinking of Candyman's maxxbling truck not promod.
I don't think I ever saw promod's center diff

Its not really suprising that the seller takes offense when you tell him his truck sucks...

Even though the truck has many design flaws, the harsh comments are really not warranted. If you don't want to buy the truck, don't buy it

if you look at the second pic down, it looks snapped.

Dear troy3565,

I love it how people take the time to hate. Just because you can't afford this truck move on to your own junk. I have been all over RC monster. And also, that center diff. plus the gorillamaxx chassis alone is worth over $500. Get a life, don't hate out of jealousy.

$500 worth of chassis and center diff?!? WTF is he smoking? It's not a slipperential in there, it's a freakin $40 diff with some custom plates on a $300 G-Maxx chassis. Where's the other $160?

The only harsh comment really is that the HV sucks. I'll give you that.

This is my point exactly.

Most of you have seen my junk by the way. :)

Not sure what you exactly said to him in your first email...but clearly he got spun up quickly. Humorous how people say these sorts of things when they are in a position of safety behind their keyboard. Thems fightin words in some parts

Well, mainly that his sale was loaded with untruths to put it blantly. It won't let me copy paste what I sent from ebay. Anyway, I'm really not trying to rag too hard, just the facts as this is how people come to get something that really is being mis represented IMO. His ad is not true plainly, and I believe the motor shaft is snapped. The pic might show it, but there is no mention of it.

He could state that it's a gmaxx with a center diff with UE wide trac suspension, and maybe state what is wrong with it. That would be more appropriate and might sell better too! But calling it rare to me is blantly funny IMO.

I hear you. One of my saved searches on ebay is "Supermaxx" and another is "Gorillamaxx." It always amazes me on some of the products that pop up when I use these saved searches. I guess some folks figure since it is compatible with supermaxx/gorillamaxx, that they can put it in the auction title. I know...your point in this thread is different...but there are similarities to what I have said.

neweuser · 01.18.2008, 06:44 PM

I understand. You make complete sense. I have listed ESC's in there for that reason. But people like myself, I look in that catagory for my maxx all the time and rarely go outside the box to look for things. I rarely ever search brushless. Mainly because I look for my stuff new and unused though when it comes to electronics
