My Maxx Kicks Your Maxx's Ass Build

[AP Alex]

Your Maxx is sharp. I'm sorry about the hijack. I just don't know if your Maxx kicks my Maxx's ass.
No really. i'm sorry for the hijack. Nice build. Can't wait to see more pics.

Thanks!

And actually I doubt my Maxx kicks your Maxx's ass, yours is actually very nice.

And no problem about the hijack.

Just don't let it happen again...


Hopefully I get my RCM pinions on Saturday and hopefully my GF lets me use her camera and I can get a video of this beast!

[AP Alex]

Deal! It want happen again. Do you have any new under the hood pics?

[Krawlin]

Sadly I don't but I might be able to get some pics with the body off tomorrow.

Lookin good chris. That baby needs to be cleaned.

[Takedown]

Well get us some pics of that thing once its cleaned. It probably will look completely different. "In a good way"

Well I just did a run with the E-Maxx! Was fun but ended in a drive-train tragedy about 7 minutes into the run. Was doing backflips off a 3 foot high dirt pile, landed while on the throttle (about 3/4 throttle in hard pack with loose top coat) and broke the pin that holds the top gear to the input shaft in the tranny, and broke the right rear CVD. Sheared/broke it right off! I will post up pics soon And since I ordered the 19 and 18 tooth pinion, it wont be quite so fast and lower the temps, but will have more torque, which could be a bad thing judging by the torque this thing currently has...

What CVD's are you using?

[Krawlin]

THS brand CVD's

Here are the carnage pics -

I've heard good thing about the MIP1665 CVD's. Perhaps give them a shot as a replacement?

[Krawlin]

If I can get them for a good price I don't see why not. I am going to call or email THS and find out if they will warranty that CVD, worth a shot.

Absolutely! Let us know how they respond.

[Krawlin]

These are what I would have to get if I go MIP since I don't have 3.3 style knuckles and such. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXDXN7&P=SM

Those should be fine right? If THS replaces that broken CVD for me, and I end up breaking another one, then I will go with the MIP's for in the rear at least.

Looks good that sucks about the tranny and cvd. I have had no problems so far with my drive shafts. These are them:http://cgi.ebay.com/Traxxas-E-Maxx-C...742.m153.l1262

And they are only $49.49 (with shipping) shipped for center and outer. I have done a backflip and landed at full throttle and nothing broke. Try them you won't be disappointed.

[Krawlin]

Wow thanks! Just bookmarked that ebay page! I am still going to see though if THS will warranty that CVD, and if they do I won't worry about getting more until after I break another.
