Are you going to run a 2280 on it as well.
If you loose a 3 lb motor it lighten the truck up. :005:

nah... I'm gonna go back to my Lehner 1930... Don't want to use this big *ss motor anymore.... not sure 1930, 1940, 1950.. I think I'll stick to 1930 12s or 13S on 8S lipo...

coolhandcountry · 08.29.2006, 01:25 PM

The 1950 10t would rock on 8s lipo. I was thinking of a setup like it.

aqwut · 08.29.2006, 09:43 PM

yeah, maybe I'll do that setup.. it's only a few grams lighter...

aqwut · 08.29.2006, 09:49 PM

I mean heavier...

really nice truck, i guess you could say money well spent?????

It sounds as if you need to build you a new project. You can build a gmaxx with a slipperential. Put a 1950 on it with 8S lipo. Then you have two good truck to go fast. :D

aqwut · 08.30.2006, 08:25 AM

Yeah, I'm waitin' for that Slipperential.. that would be cool... it would be awesome if it was a perfect drop it for any maxx... :)

coolhandcountry · 08.30.2006, 09:29 AM

Yeah it would be nice for a drop in slipperential for a standard maxx. It only has the gmaxx in mind for now though. For the power you have on the 2280. You could use like a center slipper.

Mike just told me that a 8s lipos for bashing is not recommended at all, even for bashing. I say you'll be happy with 6s lipos. You should leave some cake for others, you know what I mean.

BTW, my truck is 85 percent complete. Only the body, servo, controller and batteries need to be in it to become 100% complete.

Await a thread on it.

Gonna go pick up a center diff today....... I really need to bring my Final Drive Ratio down to to 6 or 7:1..... I wonder if I can make my own G-Maxx chassis using dragon plate CF laminates...

coolhandcountry · 08.30.2006, 10:41 AM

A center diff is not to hard to get it down to that ratio. You can squeeze a 44 tooth or 42 tooth between the rails on gmaxx. Than can run a 20 tooth pinion on it as well. That give you a 2.1 to 1 with a 3.31 to 1 diff. 6.95 to 1 final.

aqwut · 08.30.2006, 01:55 PM

yeah.. that would be perfect... have anyone tried that hitec TG servo yet?... I know it's rated 333 @ 6 volts.. but can it really turn the car at a stand still..?..
