Linc, I dropped your package off at the Post Office. It will be to you as fast as Priority Mail flies. It is insured also.

Please let me know how this new build goes. Alot of great parts there.
I certainly will Sike, I will test the diffs in my HV tmaxx first, and will wait on the 2 speed for this emaxx build. I think it should be out in a few weeks!

So exactly what do you have in mind for this setup?

I'm going to use the Monster Pro 125b in my E maxx outrunner setup with the 2 speed kit. (as soon as I can get it)

I'll probably go with a CC BEC so I can go 5S or 6S. It all depends on what the motor can handle and keep temps in check.

The ESC should be more than enough though.

I'm thinking about adding a Novak Cap to the power lead. These things have a TON of Zap and are really small.

Actually the last WaterProof EVX-2 I looked at was going for 120 before shipping...

So it actually is 3 x 125 or so = 375 = MGM 16024

No, if I recall correctly, the 3.3 just had a standard Maxx diff with a 4 screw outer case, which held the pinion mesh much better and reduced blowouts. The diff was otherwise the same.

There was lots of talk about this on the Traxxas forum.

Ah, you're right. That was stupid of Traxxas to put 3.3 suspension on the T-Maxx but not touch the diffs...

I agree, but then again, nitro engines are so weak they dont produce enough torque to destroy the stock diffs like a BL motor can...

And the new emaxx diffs are supposed to be stronger than the revo diffs, and backwards compatible so that they can be used in a revo. I may have to get a set and try them in my tekno revo.

My new maxx made it in today......she is a beauty.....the shock towers are 3.3 towers as well and the tires have taller tread they made them more of a paddle tire. First mod is to ditch the stock wheels and put my SPI offset wheels on they make the truck 2'' wider which is good for high speed turns. the less time my maxx is on its lid the better
