[Ron E]

great to see you here, I follow your thread on traxxas forum. also your thread has influenced my e-maxx build and purchases. also love your vid's.

[_paralyzed_]

stock diffs? get some 1/8's in there.

[Popoxx]

Thanks Ron E Do you have a build thread somewhere ?

_paralyzed_ : I use a 4s setup so the diffs hold out I think I replaced them both only twice since I have bought my maxx. But sure, if I had been on 6s I would have used FLM hybrid bulks + 1/8' diffs

Nice Vids!!

I have replaced my diffs only once, FLM Hybrids rule

Don't tempt me !

Just a Merry Christmas





See you next year with new projects

Now thats some nice custom pieces, never seen black UE parts like that before. You'll like the lifepo4 packs too, a pair of 3s will be roughly equal to 5s lipo, and thats what I run in the Gmaxx- plenty of power and good runtime.

Hi Pol,

nice to see you also in this forum

I miss some pics from your latest event

Take care!

You're right Udo, I forgot to post this :

I run my 6s maxx three times since I updated it. Result : a mix of bad luck and disappointment

Bad luck :


First jump - first tree...


Paint peels off and some breaks...

Maybe my front notches were too big I don't know. But given that the lexan is thick, it breaks rather than splitting. So I will never buy again this type of body ! I keep my stock bodies, easy to prepare, sturdier. I made that to reinforce them though :


(From my old 3906 bodies ! )

Aaaaaarms...







I broke these arms during a bash session in a really bad spot with too much trees... But I often break lower front arms, so I ordered FLM alu arms (just for these ones).



These tires are great (good grip, design, no ballooning), just bad luck... It happened once with my Mashers.



Really huge jump It's the first time I break shocks like this

Disappointments :

The body, of course, but also the Monoblock ! I installed it because I thought the power of the 6s LiFe pack will be too much. But no, the power isn't so impressive. So I removed it, and it's funnier Wheeliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiies !
The LiFe packs are great, fast charge, powerful, but they are a bit too heavy so my suspension suffers (front lower arms especially).
I chose a 68/22 FGR finally, but I ordered smaller pinions to get more torque.


I still love my maxx despite these breakages and bad investments
But I'm really happy with my UE diff (Ofna in fact, only the cases are made by UE) + LiFe packs ! It's the most important finally !

We will see if my maxx is reliable on the long run !

(Lots of comments already posted in the original thread on Traxxas forum : http://monster.traxxas.com/showthrea...419028&page=22).

So you actually broke RPM arms? It takes some serious bashing to do that!--Josh
