SuperMaxx High Voltage Lightning

[MonsterMaxx]

I thought you all might like to see what we've come up with for a Brushless Monster Truck. I've had a lot of fun with this and we are just entering the best part...running prototypes.

I've got one running, VBS based and it's off the chain fast. Will also be building (it's about half built now) one based on stock maxx bulkheads.
In total we are building 4x prototypes, 2x VBS based and 2x stock bulk based.

The VBS one is really fast and a lot of fun. It's got a Tekin 1350kv motor, a slipperential, badland tires. On 46/13 we clocked it at 50mph! and the motor/esc is cool.
I can't wait for it to stop raining around here so I can go to the track.



Here's some features and specs:
*motor mounting with cam mesh adjustment and quick removal access
*transmission mounting with quick removal access
*billet steering servo mounting.
*adjustable dual battery mounting for ease of CG adjustment, or you can run a single battery and leave the dual battery mounting off.
*hardened steel driveshafts (dogbones)
*wheelbase equivalent to a SuperMaxx Thunder/Lightning and a Monoblock ~372mm (differential to differential), 394mm axle to axle on a RacerX w/ setbacks.
*low CG monocoque design
*Designed to work with VBS or Standard Maxx bulkheads. So, it can fit any Maxx.
*Designed for the Tekin and a 1350 or 1550 on 6s or the tekin/castle 2200 on 4s
*The HV has been designed with the intent that any buggy/truggy center diff will fit, from straight shafts, to exotic ones like the slipperentials or Torsen diffs. Clearance for up to 36mm in length, a 50T 1.0 Module Spur and 11-18T pinion. In other words, there should be plenty of room for a wide variety of transmissions and gearing.

To complete a High Voltage Lightning truck you'll need:
*Complete maxx front and rear end. Preferably one that's been upgraded to 1/8 scale diffs already.
*Motor, speed control and standard electronics.
*1/8th scale center diff and pinion gear. I plan to have ofna's 48T 1.0mod Spider diff in stock.
*Radio with adjustable endpoints (any modern computer radio.)
