Thanks for the update Mike!

I got to thinking, would it be better to make special chassis rails? If the chassis rails were replaced all together there wouldnt be any problems, and you could even have a spot to mount a esc. I know its complex and most likely not worth it, but it would be cool.

Another production run of the old slipperential would be cool too...

That was my thinking a while back, having dedicated rails that have more clearance for the spur gear. Funny though, as thats kinda what the Candayman did with MaxxBling recently....

Alright, well after finally being pointed to this thread and reading it through I am defiantly in when these come to the store.
I guess it's just gonna be a matter of finishing up everything else on the two trucks at the house till these come out.

I soooo can't wait.

I'd like be in the "waiting list".

+3 on that please dont leave us hangin.

Ok guys I spent a day at the shop with mike hanging and doing some fab... while I made some crawler links mike converted my G3R with the center mount...

The good news - In the end we fitted in a 48T spur so a 46T slipperential is not going to be an issue.

the bad news - This conversion took mike the best part of 3-4 hours to complete excluding strip down and rebuild... It involves a lot of tight measuring, jig set and machine recalibration... i can see why he doesn't like doing it. You basically get one shot at drilling the base chassis plate.

Pics up soon

A G3R with a center diff mount!!!! Sweet!!!!

I destroyed the gears in my stock emaxx tranny. A slipperential in a G3R will be awesome! I cant wait to see how it looks!

I demand pics!

Yes I bent it already.... See hoe low it sits though!

Rivermaxx · 07.29.2009, 10:37 PM

How did you bend it?? maybe some 7075 billet is in order.

ANGRY-ALIEN · 07.29.2009, 10:38 PM

Nice... how did it perform... sure looks like you had a good time with it.

Arct1k · 07.29.2009, 10:45 PM

I drove - I crashed - the usual....

Works great - You basically now recreated a truggy with some extra clearance...

COG is VVVV low

looks like I should support the back of my big kb45 before I run again. I've got ofna "diff lock" lube in the 8 spider center and it is wheelie city. Lighter fluid and this thing would be a rocket, but I like wheelies.

FWIW- Arct1k's setup is on a gorillamaxx. The FLM chassis as well as any other maxx chassis (if it fits the FLM it'll fit any original t or e maxx chassis, as the center skid it mounts on is the same on all 3) should be easier to produce, just the chassis needs minor material removed for the spur to clear.

I will be running in the next three weeks and hope to post video. The 1700kv kb45 was TOO MUCH on 6s, but that's what I've got so that's what I'll run. Anybody have a 5s they're willing to share?

Good to see you planning some play time Harold. Ah just keep the 6S in there. You know you love the power just like Tim Allen on tool time. MORE POWER!!!! You will get the hang of it after a few runs. And yes I would surely mod a support for your big motor before running it again.

Mike please just keep this thing as simple as possible for the Maxx trucks, and specialized just for one design. We have been waiting for this setup for a long time.
