$3200!! is that in pounds or USD?

because $3200 pounds is $5,652.80 USD as of the 3rd of october 2008 at07:00:17 UTC

I would assume $3200 USD. $5000+ USD and you'd have a full blown UE Supermaxx plus a box load of spares, (just ask plettenbergs)

[jefierro]

nice!, I love how those braces look. So what's next, truggy?

[suicideneil]

Nope, Im happy being a one-truck guy really. I plan to save up and get a real car (or trike) next, and do my driving lessons and test obviously. I would like an RC boat though, just got to research more into that for a while before making any purchases.

[Dagger Thrasher]

Whoa...that's a phenomenal truck Neil! I love those JumboMaxx tyres, too; it's great to see a monster with PROPER meats on it sometimes.

Nice job, and I can't wait for the next vid.

[suicideneil]

$, yeah. I could have several 'good' trucks for that much money, but one awesome truck is more my style (I do have some, I swear).

Anyway, I went to the park today to make a movie, and test my new Zippy H 4000mah 25-35C 5s lipos, but after only 5 minutes this happend:







Crap.

Anyone got any spares floating around, or some alloy/Ti/steel versions? I may try seeing if RC4WD will just sell me the single gear I need, rather than a whole kit (2 outputs & 2 idlers), but at least the stockers are cheap to replace.

good work Neil, i thought once you had the steel idler in there you would be set, never seen that before.

As for the RC4wd gears, they're aluminium arent they? If they're not hardened steel i don't know how they would hold up against the hardened steel idler. I know the ULTRAMAXXED gears were 7075 aluminium, but used brass (i think it was) idlers

Ouch..:oh: That’s hurts.. Sorry Sir..

[George16]

The RC4wd gears are made of 6061T6 aluminum. I have a full set brand new in my spare tranny.

Here's a couple of pics:

[suicideneil]

Nice. I didnt really think about the effect the steel idler would have on an alloy output gear, but the alloy input gear is doiing just fine, so fingers crossed RC4WD will get back to me on my request.

[suicideneil]

Well, I got a reply from RC4WD about the gears- they said they can give me $10 off the cost of a full set, but they dont sell them seperately. Guess that'll have to do really, as UltraMaxxed gears are impossible to find, and even the steal rip-offs have vanished from ebay. On the upside, I think I've identified every weak point to the emaxx design now....

[plettenbergs]

i have some stockers i can send you for free i think!...I cant part with my 3 sets of ULTRAMAXXED GEARS!

[suicideneil]

Nah, I've already got 2 spare output gears arriving tomorrow hopefully, so no worries. 3 sets of Ultramaxxed gears though, that must have cost a pretty penny I bet...

[thephilonator]

Haha, "pretty penny", strange poms.
