**My FLM CCNeu Maxx Nearly Completed**

PM explain about the CF of course.

Guys, what diffs will fit in between these GS Storm diff braces?

[Chadworkz]

Pretty much all of them...the GS Storm diffs are "full-size", as it were, where diffs like the Kyosho and Hot Bodies diffs are "small". If you want to run one of the smaller diffs, all you have to do is shim it to fit.

[suicideneil]

That stuff on the rotor looks like epoxy, its just used to balance it to prevent vibrations ( like wheel balancing ).

If you unscrew the front of the motor, you should be able to just tap out the pinion ( may be glued in place ).

UE Titanium! I'll never run out of these, got them all for $35 shipped from a great member on UE.




Just kinda missing around... I'll probably never run this way. Its a neat concept though.

The Ultralites will go back in this week! I think I now know what broke the unbreakable 8 spider diffs... I'll post up later this week or next.

...score!!

[vader2728]

Zack, you beat me to that hingepin lot. I was drooling all over them but waited too long to pull the trigger...

[Chadworkz]

The thing is, you won't ever *need* any of them, because the ones you are running will never bend or break! :)

[vader2728]

I've bent and broken titanium hingepins before... Broke the UE Widetrac arm it was holdin on too... Damn grindrails at the skate park!

[Chadworkz]

Were the Ti Hingepins you bent UE Ti Hingepins? I swear that, even though Lunsford & UE both use 6AL-4V Titanium, for some reason the UE Ti Hingepins are just stronger and more durable than the Lunsfords, or any other brand...it's weird, but I have experienced it. I have bent and snapped Ti Hingepins from Lunsford, Hardcore, & GPM, but have never even bent a UE Ti Hingepin...and like you did, I broke the end off of a UE Racer-X Front Lower A-Arm (where the hingepin goes through) during a hard crash, but the UE Ti Hingepin was still perfectly straight!

UE Ti Hingepins are Bomb-Proof, heh!

You could use that concept if you used the shorter hingepin with the E-clips you would want to run some spacers so you dont get lateral movement, but it is a good concept. Is the pivot ball just threaded into the Turnbuckle?

Did you ever blow those 3906 diffs??

[Chadworkz]

I like this idea & style, but I would want a smoother, cleaner looking arm...like the Dace Mfg. upper arm, but with a camber-adjuster built into it like the pics below...





These are the Dace arms (on the left)...




This looks cool as well...

[Kcaz25]

Yep those are pretty cool. I have the truck back together after the huge rebuild. Its great. All new Avid bearing. Finally all of Jacob's Proline Powerstrokes are on. I plan to bash them 2day or 2moro but regardless at the end of the week I'm going to probably empty them and add some 60wt oil. I haven't figured out how I'm going to clean them completely any suggestions? I can't remember how I've done this in the past. I got my arms and bracing done, made a new CD top plate out of FullForce CF, switched completely to a one battery setup with my 4s Hyperion next month I'll order a 6500 4s pack so I can run 25 minute mains, and moved my ESC and cleaned up the wiring a bit.

Jacob, the diffs where doing great! Infact I opened the rear one up just to peak and it was missing a tooth but running fine. I finally got my UE 8spider diffs fixed so I'll take them out at the end of the week and put the UE Ultralites back in.


I also filled the GS storm CD with 30k. I don't know what was in it.

Remaining victory points:
-VTR Calibers
-7075 aluminum opposite motor mount CD bulk, its plastic now.
-35c Hyperion 4s 6500mah
-My own custom lower profile towers
-CF steering rx tray/deck/plate, its aluminum now.
-Another body just like the one I have now.
-Alittle more camber and some other tuning to do.
-Would be cool to have a Slipperential one day.

Is this a good place to keep my extra rotor?


Thanks,
Zack

THe CD had 10k in it, as far as cleaning the shocks I use an air compressor and a 2" paint brush with the bristles cut down so they are stiffer. I cant believe those diffs held out that long, I put them in there originally just to get her going and use it. After a few packs they were still together so i said screw it and left them in.

On another note I finally did some damage to my RC8Te. I bent the front d/s dirveshaft/CVD, big jump lol..... Only took 4 months of bashing to finally break something. I love 1/8!!!!

[Chadworkz]

I clean my shocks with an old toothbrush, soap (Dawn) & water, and twisting a soapy wet paper towel down inside the shock body to get out the gunk/oil in the very bottom.

[Kcaz25]

Thanks guys. Yep it has cost me a pretty penny and alot of hard work and research but I've finally got my Maxx up to 1/8th scale specs.

Its soo bad.
















The battery still seems fine. No puffing, no heat, good voltage even underload. What to do?
