**My FLM CCNeu Maxx Nearly Completed**

[suicideneil]

Should be fine- lots of guys turn the lipos on edge if they are a little tall or wide to fit the tray. Just make sure they are strapped down properly and pad the tray with foam to remove any slack & stop the lipo sliding back and forth.

Zack, my Neu batt is on edge. I have a custom tray from Mike and then use two velcro straps. You have seen my videos, LOL, my battery does not budge.

Okay great guys thanks. Looking forward to more from you Mark. I'll post pics as promised this after noon. Should be stellar!

Well I didn't clean it up all the way. Its kinda embarrassing and the front skid part of the chassis is bent. It doesn't affect anything but looks. I hit a stump pretty hard. And I still have to shorten some of the wires. The last picture of the servo area is my favorite. How do you like the white Mugen 5 wing(instead of black Mugen 6) and the black fan(instead of Novak purple)? The body isn't secured in the picture but yes I am using velcro, for several months now and I love it. You can be sure I run this truck.

Make sure you notice the sway bars. I still have to finish the rear one.

As you can see its one the lowest profile E-Maxxes ever. Thanks to Rc-Monster for the awesome parts!!

I really like the First pic in the second post. The Lo-pro picture. Nice!

I like the LST2 sways also. Did you notch the Bulkhead.? I am gonna add some when $ becomes available. I like how you did it though in the shock spot and with the lock collars... Clean!

I was going to do it on the upper arms Like some dude (B-Team Racing) did.

Whats your gearing? and are your diffs standard 13/43?

Oh BTW Your ride is Loooow CG and looks Sooo Cool to me!

Looking good Zack...I like the anti roll bar setup you got... I have a set of those Losi sway bars for some time trying to figure good clean mounting position for them...
looks like your method might be the simplest for doing so now... have you tried it yet? did you see any handling differences? will you be adding one to the rear?

CLICK Will this tekin motor work with my old Novak HV-Maxx? I think my motor burnt up in it because it was so high KV and such tiny rotor. The rotors in those things man! Small. I haven't ran it in years so I hope it even works. I'll have to get a lipo cutoff of course.

[suicideneil]

I doubt the hvmaxx will handle a true 1/8 scale motor- according to GriffinRU the thing runs hot with only 40-60amps of current draw & the stock motors, wouldnt like to imagine ~120amp spikes and constant high loads from the kind of gearing 1/8 motors vs the hvmaxx motors.

[Kcaz25]

What do you suggest I do. Here are the vehicles I have, and controllers I have and the one truck that interest me. In my 12pound Mutant Maxx truggy I have the MMM 2200kv on 4s. 3906 FLM jacked up buddy truck 775 titan EVX2 Blue 4s. a Traxxas Titan sized boat with 550 motor mount. I plan to run the EVX2 in it sometime. I have a totally stock 25 Savage that I haven't ran in years. And the 10tt from OFNA really interests me, but that footprint on the HV-Maxx is huge. It would never fit right? Though a smaller tekin motor might work great in there on 3s. Right? I have a 3s hyperion pack. If you'll remember its that one 4s pack that got cut up on that drag.

[ZippyBasher]

Well depends on what you wanted to do. But if it were me and I was building a buddy truck and wanted to spend less than $160 (That Tekin Motor Cost)

Buy a CC 1717 and a Mamba Max from the Clearance sale. shipped will be $150. Run it on the 3s pack and gear for ~25-30mph. Gearing conservatively, I am sure the Max will be just fine in there. I think the Mamba Max was one of CC best ESC .
Then you will have a nice ESC for the 10tt if you get one and a 1717. Win-Win.

[mkrusedc]

Nice build Zack. I will be watching, I am in the market for a motor for my E-Revo.

[Kcaz25]

The brushless Maxx is doing fine now. I no longer have time to run it now as I'm getting married (YEAH btw!!). I imagine I'll keep it for when I have kids. lol Anyway but my "buddy truck" should probably hit the bay( I mean I want to sell it). I can't remember if this is allowed but how much do you think it is worth? (i looked at the rules briefly) How much will the ebay crowd pay for it? Don't miss the transmission. Its got a UE idler, robinson racing slipper, roll pin mod, FLM tranny, and GMaxx single speed. It will come complete with a body and a simple but excellent 2.4ghz radio.

I should mention it has RPM true tracks, a proline steering kit 3.3 knuckles. new 3.3 diffs and a high tech servo. Its brushless ready(easy on the diffs.)

Also the front skid is Titanium. The rear is super cheap aluminum like not billet and not 6061.

Prices seem to vary day to day, but assuming you give it a good clean to make it look it'd best, maybe $300-400 or so- will do better parting it out in all honesty, just means more work*

*since if a chop-shop buys it, that is exactly what they will do to make a profit on the purchase price..

Looks like you built 2 rigs out of my one. I still luv that Mutant Maxx set up. You really did finish it like I wish I could have, Nice job!!
