**My FLM CCNeu Maxx Nearly Completed**

[Kcaz25]

Well I was in my hobby shop (the big new one that I found lol) anyway when I stumbled across a Losi 8t 2.0 shaft. It is the perfect length! and will fit my traxxas stub axles!! I don't need the 8mm stuff anyway. This is cheaper and more convenient for me. They were way too expensive at the shop (i did buy some stuff) some I will hit up the bay latter today.

I'll post results in a few weeks or so!


Also!! I saw a Traxxas zero or X or what ever. The car looks lame but DANG! That black 1717 looks amazing!!! I wish I had an MMM Extreme too with those upgraded fets for my Maxx.

I will upload those pics but in the meantime...
I now have a very nice 8mm truetrac system that fully articulates in suspension. I did use the stub axles after all and when I post more pics I'll tell more about how I did it.

And I do now know that the Losi 8t 2.0 shafts will work on the front( or simply standard 3.3spec) suspension but will have to have spacers on the stub portion to take up the slack between the knuckle and the hex adapter. Even up to 4mm possible.

I may just leave the front with the TRX shafts that I already have which work great on standard suspension.

I will post pics of this as well perhaps on tues.

Also, I don't know if I've mentioned it but I'll be going back to standard UE knucklhead towers and longer UE or Proline shocks instead of buggy shocks and short towers.

you will sell me those short towers

[Kcaz25]

Yes Harold that sounds good. I'll pm you later today!

[Kcaz25]

Here are those promised pics of that Traxxas X or those sick Castle Creations products..







Like I said the car is kinda lame but the motor and esc

Are you planning to transplant the combo from the XO-1 in to your E-Maxx ?

Hey Snoop! Good to hear from you.

No I wish that equipment was mine. I really like the color of that motor.

Hey I am going to sell the towers and the shocks to 'Unclebens'.

Crap, I wish I had thought about asking you for those short DUH Towers...I have been wanting a set of those for like, ever!

Okay here is the thing. I really need advice on this. I want to flip my center diff assembly. This will point the motor backwards on the opposite side of the chassis. This will also allow me to move the battery to the front on the opposite side as it sits now. This is the setup that Monster Mike has on his conversions in the store.

Now here is the deal- I will need to make new clearance for the spur gear. Can I raise the center diff assembly with carbon fiber without a problem? SO in other words I will not make a new hole in the chassis but will lift the teeth of the spur away from the chassis with a carbon fiber plate. Will this cause a problem with rocks or other things?

CLICKis like what I'm talking about! And where I got the idea!

I see you answered your own question
with the answer I was about to type ......

[Kcaz25]

Okay after looking further into this I have answered my own question...

I do understand that nitro truggies have a hole underneath the spur gear to get it to the starter box. This seems to be just about its only purpose. I was assured after seeing Mike's chassis. They don't have this hole so neither do I.

I will use a piece of carbon fiber that I have similar to the above picture.

Great! Problem solved. I'll post pics in a few weeks.

nitro's start at the flywheel next to clutch bell. cut out for big spur??

[Kcaz25]

Oh nevermind. lol Still Rc-Monster Mike's chassis don't have the spur cut out so neither will I for this next evolution of my Maxx.

[Kcaz25]

I want to di-anodize this heatsink. I don't really have an under the hood color scheme, but I don't want the orange. I can't get the heat sink off. Can I apply oven cleaner to the sink with a paper towel? or can someone tell me how to get the heat sink off, so that I can soak it.

I will be dianodizing a couple things with ez-off. I should have a new layout as well as soon as I get that tray from Mr. Mike!

[Kcaz25]

If I could get the gears off that would help. I don't know how. I think the motor is mounted with two screws to the black plastic between the gears and the heat sink.
