Dual BL UE E-maxx on 2-5s Zippy's

[What's_nitro?]

I was right until you posted again!!!!...

[mkrusedc]

Excuse my ingnorance but what controllers are those?

[Kcaz25]

That thing is terrifying!

[Mozzy]

How can you say that, have you seen it go?

I wanna see it gooooooooo!!!! Come on Plett, where's that vid you promised us?

I've seen it run on one pletty I believe maybe two I can't remember. Some body could link to the thread. But, yeah, just look at it, if thats not scary, then I don't know what is. But scary in the best way possible

Hey every scinario has to be tested at some point. Why not two big Maximums?? And why not him?? He has had great success with the Big Maximum, so why not run two and see how they work for his rig? Life is short, so go for the gusto. Pletty you have a very nice truck. Good job on that build.

Did you purchase those motors directly from Plettenberg, or did you get lucky with second hand sales? That is $1000 just in motor value alone. If you have the dual Schulze 18/97 controller setup that is another $1000. So now that truck is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $4K to $5K right? It amazes me how much we spend on these toys. $5 grand in one toy truck. WOW that is unbelievable. How many people get to live that kind of dream?? This is a lavishly disgusting display of careless spending, much like our goverment experiences every day. I am impressed and would do the same thing if I had the money to do so. Way to go Pletty. Now this has to qulaify as one of those "You know your addicted when". Have a good day Sir.

Maybe this year I can get an earmark to help with a couple of my builds...

[redshift]

My lord are you kidding the govt could subsidize these builds for every living human and spend less than the military- imagine tho, unobtainium driveshafts, drive-by-thought capabilities.......

[plettenbergs]

i am too dumb to get the video to work with my new laptop...my friend Jason did it for me last time...i will get him to put it up tomorrow!

I did get the Pletts and the Schulze 18.97's from I-care in Germany...It is over kill but WTF...wow major power,too much power but i think i can get used to it...major wheelies on comand at any speed!!...today was a test run to see if trani or diffs exploded...NO PARTS BROKEN!!...I LOVE BRUSHLESS!!

I will put on a fresh spur gear and make another video this weekend!

[redshift]

Can we at least get a speed estimate??

[Kcaz25]

I will put on a fresh spur gear and make another video this weekend!

Why? Do the Pletts just chew 'em right up?
Or did you get a rock in there?

You could try what I am working on Matt. I combined two monoblocks increasing my overall length to just shy of 24" to help control the wkeelie factor, and I had two custom heavy duty driveshafts made at RCAlloys. Now I am working on stretching the width to about 20". That should give enough stability to control the amount of power you have monuted for your drivetrain and keep things on the ground and moving in the right direction with the 333oz in sero. I want to try and control this one for some high speed testing. With two big maximums onboard you can probably gear for some increditble speeds if you wanted to. The real test is to do it safely and without killing your project. I should have mine up and running before the end of the year. Projects like this take time and patients. I am never in a rush even though I would love to see it run today.

[plettenbergs]

i would say that the plastic spur is my only week link...but,i did get 5 10s runs out of the last one,i will go up a tooth or two

hey Jerry:2 mono's sounds funky,seems like it might be kind of flimsy where the two connect??but for straight away top speed runs it should be fine

my Dual BL was a little top heavy so i will need to adjust the shocks a little...they are polished UE supershocks with PROGRESSIVE piggy backs...now i am running 4 UE chrome springs and 4 black springs,i might swithch the blacks to reds...that should lower it a bit?...i am also going to try two 19 or 2 20 tooth pinion gears...that will also will help with the wheeelie factor

OK i have a lrge cup of coffee and will try to get the video up again...my original video was much longer and i will try to get the rest of it up also

[JERRY2KONE]

Not at all Matt. I had to do a little dremel work on one of them to get them to match up perfectly, but they are like one solid piece now. I love the monoblocks. In fact I have 3 here now, and have already pre-ordered two more from the UE sale. I will soon post up some pics of the build once I am ready to strip it all down and loctite everything for testing. I may try your V-twin Big Maxx setup and just gear it for pure speed runs. I have one B/M & Schulze set already, so I only have to purchase one more BM and the 18/97. I am still focused on my RCM build right now though with the V-twin Dewalt 970's. The high speed lightning will come next after the RCM Maxx is bash/race ready. I look forward to seeing your new video, and also getting that new chassis from you. Have fun and be safe.
