Never try it, if it is NOT MIKE - 03.13.2007, 06:22 AM

This was my first brushless truck and Mike has been as helpful as ever.:028: If you would look at most of the parts, it is not listed on the website. He told me he has lots of spare lying around. I dont know if it is just me but if you ever try requesting products not listed on other website, the support/owner/customer rep. will never help you and will just say "we dont carry those".:007: Mike has truly the most helpful and easy to approach online seller/shop. I know custom work has been delayed but believe me as most people here know. Delay is only happened because Mike dont want to give you BS items and makes sure that it is in perfect working condition. Anyway, enough of that here is the list of the parts I got from MIKE:

- V1 Slipperential transmission for G-Maxx G2 ext. chassis
- Feigao 540C XL Brushless Motors
- Gorilla Maxx G2 aluminum race chassis for traxxas emaxx
- 5mm bore, mod1 pitch pinion
- Traxxas Revo slipper pressure plate/hub
- Fastlane Maxx Adjustable Shock Tower
- Fastlane Maxx A-Arm Set, Upper
- Fastlane Maxx A-Arm Set, Lower
- Integy Blue Super-Duty Type II Steering Block for E/T-Maxx
- Warrior 9920 Brushless Car Controller-HOLIDAY SPECIAL PRICE!-
- Fastlane Front and Rear Hybrid Bulks
- Traxxas Revo Slipper Clutch Rebuild Kit
- Traxxas Pivot Balls/Bushings T-Maxx (4)
- Traxxas plastic body post
- Revo spur
- Proline saver
- Maxx Front Skid Plate - From FastLane Machine
- Maxx Rear Skid Plate - From FastLane Machine
- Maxx Body Posts
- Maxx Transmission Skid Plate - From FastLane Machine
- External BEC/UBEC
- Hardened Differential and Pinion - From Hot Bodies Lightning PRO
- Pro-Line 40 Series 23mm Cheyenne Chrome Wheel
- Dace 23mm hex adapters-Blue
- Traxxas Revo ProGraphix Body
- 4801 Lunsford Racing Titanium Combo Kit T-Maxx 2.5
- 1103-00 Pro-Line Maxx 40 Big Joe Tire T-Maxx E-Maxx
- 80102 RPM Black Front Bumper T/E-Maxx
- 4936 Traxxas Bumper Mounts Front & Rear T-Maxx

The last few on the list should be arriving late this week or early next week. My batteries are still in production so if could buy a good charger I should be able to run this baby.:024:

THANKS MIKE FOR ALL THE HELP :027:

SB989 is a great charger but i cant use it on my Li-Ion, Ice can be used but i need Lipodapter...im still considering whether to buy a good Li-ION charger or just buy NiCD-NiMH plus lipodapter...

BTW just got the package earlier...super fast...Mike shipped it last Saturday...Reached Singapore for 5 days :)

Thats pretty quick lol. I think that I will be getting either my brushless setup or some tranny/drivtrain parts as I brole my center shaft today. Would a ubec work with the stock esc? Do you think the titans could take 14-16 cells?

Traxxas says the titans and EVX can take 14 cells. The titans do get kind of hot and I don't think they'll last as long (not that there expensive though), but then it's more reason to go brushless. 14 cells on the titans is deffinetly more fun than 12 cells.
I don't see any reason why a UBEC wouldn't work if it's wired up right, but I don't think theres much point (unless your pushing it by using more than 14 cells or lower turn motors), because I think (I could be wrong though) that the internal BEC in the EVX only takes power from one battery and not both.
So it only has to convert 7.2 volts to 5 or 6 volts, not 14.4v to 5v, so not that much heat would be produced.

Yah I was wondering because I was thinking of ordering drivetrain parts instead of the brushless and figured I could get a little more speed with like 16 cell packs and the ubec but I have no clue what to order now.
