Well, the brushed motors kicked the bucket.. ran then till they quit.. the brush hood temp got up to 225 or so.... They stink to high hell! I was running out in the yard then lost most of its power, would barely move on full throttle. I thought the truck was hitting lvc, but upon closer inspection the motors were steaming...:) Brushes are now nubs

If anyone have a L or XL feigao for sale PM me, not looking to spend that much cash.

Ouch, maybe you should just drop 20 bucks on a Kershaw 970? or 2 of em?

i Think we have a single 970 lying around... gotta press a pinion off though.
MM ships today

Just ran the truck with the MMM 2200 in it on 4s.. surprisingly, nothing broke! Thing will keep wheelieing as long as im pulling the trigger... then the fun ended then i lost the set screw for my pinion :(

Im really dumfounded that the idlers or diffs havent caused any problems yet, knock on wood.

Not that much of a suprise - mine lasted a few weeks before giving up...

trev3813 · 02.23.2009, 06:34 PM

The idlers will not give up right away. It took awhile for my stockers to go.

The 8xl arrived today, will be installing everything today after school (boo HSPA's) and Im sick as a dog.

Our robotics team ended up qualifying 8th out of 47 at our competition... then lost in the first round of eliminations. due to one of our alliance members bot's(team 1519) not working...

Something Went in the transmission.. was running out in the snow and watched a small fragment of something go flying out of the truck then had no power to the wheels. upon further inspection there is a gauge mark on the top of the transmission where a pin(i think) came out the top.. And now the top gear shaft and slipper can slide in and out of the transmission about 1/2 inch. I tried the truck out in 1st gear to diagnose, and found nothing, but in second the truck runs fine until the top shaft jumps out.. this leads me to beleive that the 1st gear roll pin came out..

What do you guys think.

Can i tell you that it is a PITA to get the trans out of an emax..

trev3813 · 03.03.2009, 06:01 PM

Lol, a revo tranny is no better!

suicideneil · 03.03.2009, 07:59 PM

Yep, roll pin has left the building!

Its not that hard to remove an emaxx tranny really, only 8 screws...
