what to do now?

Well hi everyone, a couple nights ago I dug up my e-maxx and wanted to make a brushless basher (since I all ready have a brushless LSP for racing). Well it soon turned into sort of a home made G-maxx. The e-maxx has UE idlers, MIP CVD’s, RPM arms, twinforce center dog bones, and highly modified stock chassis. But it needs new diffs. Would these be able to hold up to a 9xl + 16 cells or 5 lipo http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...zerdiff&cat=17 with the RRP ring and pinions?

Well now I can’t decide if I want to keep the LSP brushless or make the e-maxx brushless. I can’t afford both.

On one last note I would like to keep the 2 speed and gear first for normal driving and second as turbo like in this thread http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3391 BTW I am running an RRP slipper with ofna mod 1 51 tooth spur, what pinion?


Now pics!
(sorry for a dusty truck)

more pics with my e-maxx next to my LSP......

no offense to you lightning but that truck looks racier then the lsp.

no affense taken and i agree with you, the e-maxx also feels more "solid" or "planted" if you know what i mean.

with a 8xl or 9xl you can start from 15T and go up! thats sweet cem, props on the low c.o.g:D

thanks mike.L

i still need to know if these http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...zerdiff&cat=17 with the RRP ring and pinions will handle a 9xl and 16 cells or 5s lipo.

*edit* link fixed

[Mike.L]

that link doesn't work, are you using mod 1 or 32 pitch? because if its 32 pitch the gearing will be a bit different.

Nice job! Great work. Funny though, i thought about doing the same type of conversion with my girls stock chassis! If you need 16 cells, i have two listed on ebay right now. If they don't get bids, PM me and we can work something out! Both are 8 cells flat packs...

Am I missing something here?? I fail to see what the differential ring and pinion have to do with gearing...Especially since there the same ratio as stock...

well gearing is not a concern right now, i am more concerned about the diffs. i really cant afford UE 7.5's or the FLM cases with lightning diffs. in this situation would these http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...zerdiff&cat=17 with RRP gears be appropriate? (BTW useing a 9xl with 16 or more cells)............

That looks great how you made your truck. I never would have thought to do that.

thanks man.

what happened was that i was going to make a custom chassis out of 5mm polyester and i told my dad what i was doing, and he said " well, why don't you just do this" and he holds the chassis down low. i was like i could make that work and i did...........

Have you ran it yet ,If so how did it do ?. It's very cool that your dad helped you out.
