Awesome Maxx, but hardcore thread hijack

Here are some of the latest pics of my Maxx

And a new update for it, ran it last night, was tons of fun! But actually too fast, MMM's fan came on about 5 times for about 15 seconds each time, motor was around 125, LiPo's were around 110. I ordered an 18 and 19 tooth RCM pinion for it, so it wont be so fast and lower my temps.

And the RRP spur/slipper is good as far as gear strength, but aluminum slipper plates, what's up with that?! They bend and the gear is wobbly. So the search is on for a Strobe slipper at a good price! (Unlikely, but I will try to find one)

But other than getting warmer than I would like, being a bit too fast, and the not so amazing RRP slipper, I am very impressed with this truck. The torque is just amazing, and so are the runtimes, I got almost 20 minutes of runtime (Doing lots of low throttle bashing and blipping it through tall grass, a few speed passes). My camera is still busted so I took those pics above with my GF's camera, and she probably wont let me use it to get a video because she thinks that I am going to hit it with the Maxx, so there probably wont be a video for a while

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 · 03.05.2009, 09:49 PM

Deal! It want happen again.

Do you have any new under the hood pics?

Krawlin · 03.05.2009, 10:09 PM

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.

BL_RV0 · 03.05.2009, 11:19 PM

Nice, although those tires look a little big for the little e-maxx, i'd get a flm chassis.

Krawlin · 03.05.2009, 11:38 PM

To Ryan - Thanks! Yeah it's really dusty from being driven through all the weeds out in the back of my yard. I have pretty much given up on trying to keep it clean though, it seems to get filthy after every run so I just don't bother with it much anymore.

To Ian - Actually 40 series are just really wide, not too tall or anything, especially crime fighters, they are super lo-profile. I like them though, they are super grippy!

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

Krawlin · 03.06.2009, 09:00 PM

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?
