**My FLM CCNeu Maxx Nearly Completed**

[Kcaz25]

Okay. You know I used to live in Alabama. We talked about maybe going to that big race in Cullman but neither of us could.

[Chadworkz]

Yea, I know...I wish we could have made it. This time, though, I wanna try my best to get together while I am up there!

[Kcaz25]

Yeah I would love to see our trucks together! I've never seen VBS. lol

But does any one have measurements on Mugen 6t rear cvds?

Thanks,
Zack

[Chadworkz]

VBS is like a rare painting, incredible to look at!!!

Someone get this man some MB-X6T measurements! LOL :)

[Kcaz25]

Okay!! The mugen shafts almost, but not quite work on the truetrac. They may work on the front with modified or after-market Maxx knuckles though.

I have not given up yet. I will try some thing else. Perhaps rear truggy carriers with truggy shafts. They should mount up nice.

Keep us posted on the truggy knuckle idea, it sounds/looks like it will work!

[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.

[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

[SnoopMaxx]

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

[Chadworkz]

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!

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'.

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!
