**My FLM CCNeu Maxx Nearly Completed**

[Rivermaxx]

I used traxxas cut stub shafts and the stock cups in the front with the pillowball in a little farther and I used the longer e revo cups in the back with the truetracks. I am not sure if you need to do this with flextek because you can just scew the pb in more.

Same here... With LST diffs but same concept...The stock Traxxas cups that come with the CVDs are pretty good. I have my suspension jacked almost maxed out and the cvds still sit well within the drive cups... But I do like my Pillowballs screwed in just to about touch the arm when the servo is full throw...

Do you guys know of any mud guards that would fit this Chassis?

Thanks,
Zack

I allways had the impression the TRX shafts would be too short in combination with regular diff outdrives.
I'll keep this in mind if my plans for the X2 CRT shafts shouldn't work...


So, Zack, where is that video?

[ZippyBasher]

I only meant that, unless the cells are perfectly balanced. It will always show a bit mor Mah going in on the charger than the actual battery is sucking in... Ex. I charged my battery yesterday. It wasnt balanced perfect when charging ended. So I let it totally balance out. and threw it back on the charger. The battery took in 560mah more...

Think about it like this: Say the charger is charging at 5amps. While the Balancer is working at ~650mah to balance the cells. So after an hour if the charger displays says it put in 5000mah, in reality it only put closer to ~4350mah...

Thats what I meant earlier.

I am glad to hear that is took a beating and kept ticking! Thats what it is all about!

Ah. I see. When I get more springs I'll be done.

This is an old pic



I'm thinking about cutting the rear New Era Titanium skid plate down to the bulk to shave weight. What do you think? Since the wing is there it really can't serve much of a purpose. Without the wing it is necessary with the wing it is just dead weight. I'll always have a wing. I think New Era still has this rear plate. Cut it or not?

Did you ever bent one of those Fastlane A-Arms?

[Kcaz25]

Not yet. It really hard to. I had a pretty bad landing about 3 months ago on the right front wheel the only damage was one broke off pivot ball and a warped TRX carrier. No damage to the arm.

So what do you guys think should I cut the rear skid down/off?

[JoFreak]

Is it really going to save that much weight?
I'd probably leave it as is if it doesn't influence handling too much in a bad way.

edit: It says out of stock on the new era website.
If this is true I would definately leave the skid plate as is.

[Kcaz25]

Maybe you are right. I'll think about it. A shame to hear about New Era. At least ebay has tons of titanium skids.

[George16]

Don't cut it.

Nice truck Zack.

[Kcaz25]

Ok I won't.

Thanks Lito.

[George16]

Your truck has gone a long way. I wasn't able to see pictures until our ship returned last week because Photobucket is not accessible through a gov't computer.

I need to charge my lipos so I can run my trucks tomorrow. It's been over 6 months since I ran them. This deployment is cutting into my hobby time :).

[Kcaz25]

Yeah. Get em going! God bless you man.

I'm thinking about getting rear RacerX with the big UE cvds. non Setback version. What do you think? RPM is just too flexy and lets the cvds bend as they pop out.

Are the 16mm ones necessary over the 15mm?
