check it out! my e-maxx...

Well here is my e-maxx!

It is almost complete, I need to fine tune the final gear ratio. I am running about 10.36:1 right now (51 spur, 14 pinion, 2.85:1 diffs), what final ratio is the best?:032: Temps are ok (100 on the motor, 90 esc) right now because it is only like 50F outside…………. (and yes, i know the spur is messed up)

So here are the specs:

Aluminum bulks
t-maxx 3.3 diff housings
Aluminum diff cups
Quark 125b w/custom heatsink
Feigao 540c 9xl
Ubec
16 gp 3300’s (going 6s 8000 lipo soon)
Custom extended chassis
Lowered shock towers
Jato shocks w/revo springs
Custom center diff
Adjustable rear motor brace
23mm conversion w/crime fighters
Proline high downforce wing
Mip cvd’s
Rpm arms
14.5in wheelbase
And probably other stuff I forgot!

One thing I must say, it handles really really good! Fast too, I’m really happy with it. (can you tell?:005: )

pics!



















all done with a dermel, hack saw, bench grinder and other hand tools!

Cool! The tranny area looks empty without the tranny in there! Jato shocks?! Must sit lower, or did you do something with the towers?

What's wrong with your center diff spur? It looks wobbly or something...

[jhautz]

That thing is crazy! I love it. Looks like a you made the complete transformation from truck to truggy.

Is the motor mount stiff enough? Could that be what messed up your spur? What center diff did you use?

Nice work man!!

if i can give you one tip;

Use braces on the bulks.

A tempgun gives you the best ratio.

brianG, look at the third pic, you can see that the shock tower was lowered;
and for the spur i had it come un-bolted during a run.


jhautz, the motor mount does not move because of the rear motor brace, so that is not what messed up my spur. to answer your last question, it is an ofna mbx center diff.

serum, i'll get those bulk braces real soon.

thanks everyone for the nice words!

does any one know if the truerc.com 4000mah 10c lipos would do good with my setup? right now my gp 3300's have seen better days. i get a good 18-20 min. bashing on a charge and about 10 min. racing, even though they are only charging between 2200-2600mah.

thanks!

4000 10C might be a little low on low side. You should probably look at getting something capable of at least 60A constant as a minimum. Maybe the Maxapms 15c 4000mah packs would be better.

i thought there was a thread around here some where explaining that the maxamps and truerc.com lipos were the same, just that maxamps rates them higher?

[squeeforever]

Yea. Go for the 8000mah if possible...

if you are going to keep the quark, only run 5s. on 6s you will have major problems when fully charged.

i know i should only run 5s, but 6s is just so tempting. i have read over at rcz of one person running 6s without any problems. also i called quark and they said that if i have any problems that i could send my 125b in for repair/replacement. BTW i have never overheated my 125b or had any other sort of problems with it, so i think i'm good to go on 6s..................

also, in mikes quark durability test ( http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...urability+test ) he ran 6s 2300mah a123 cells.................... check post #6

i hope you have success. please let us know the results!
