Lots of screws to do! smojoe 01-10-2004, 07:35 PM Cool, Must be you got the motherboard, case, & Harddrive operational? yep. Half Life never looked sooooo good! (its a computer game) Lots of screws to do! yep. I'm wondering what the guy who made the bulkhead to shock tower mounting system was on when he did that. tommckay 01-11-2004, 12:28 PM Yeah, no straight in shot at the lower screw. they do make Hex wrenches with a ball end for just that type of situation though. carsonb 01-12-2004, 12:11 AM What is the run time on a good set of batteries for the E-Maxx. Does anyone know if Traxxas is coming out with any improvement for the E-Maxx this year? :mad: carsonb 01-12-2004, 12:22 AM If you guys were to start over, would you still get a E-Maxx, if not what other electric monster truck would you get. :mad: guver 01-12-2004, 01:11 AM carson I think about 10 minutes is for a good batt 3300 mah. I would get an e again, and try the very best batts I could afford. guver 01-12-2004, 01:14 AM Oh duh, I did get the best I can afford , it just wasn't very much haha tommckay 01-12-2004, 10:39 AM I would get the E-maxx gain. I race mine and there is not another quality E-Monster out there to compete now. If I was going gas, it would probably be the HPI Savage, not the T-Maxx. smojoe 01-12-2004, 05:42 PM I get 10-15 minutes on my cheap 3000's. not the best punch, but they get the job done. The electric version of the Kyosho Mad Force (hopefully will come out soon) is what I would get if I did the whole "EMT" thing again. Too much money in the maxx to go back, though... tommckay 01-12-2004, 08:12 PM They are making an electric Mad Force? Interesting. But there's still too much support for the E-maxx to switch. tommckay 01-13-2004, 06:04 AM "Twin Force"... See Hanks "press release". Still nothing on the Kyosho Website. tommckay 01-20-2004, 10:27 AM Wow, this was the last thread on the page..... Rescued again! I'm gonna sell one of my 3 E-maxxes. guver 01-20-2004, 10:57 AM I'd like to buy a cheap narrow roller, don't need the arms or any electronics smojoe 01-20-2004, 05:40 PM I'm gonna sell one of my 3 E-maxxes. youWHAAA?!?! lol, I understand fully. I'm kind of regretting putting so much money into my maxx when I get just a much (or more) fun out of the touring car I bought for 1/10 the price. JB_The_Evader 01-20-2004, 06:21 PM lol Smojoe. Yeah I understand what you're saying. I've been racing my touring car every possible saturday, so its been getting a lot of tlc. My maxx has been dormant for a while, but that's because I lost the deans-to-tamiya adapters i had lol. I've been meaning to convert my evx to deans but i keep forgetting to pick up the plugs. smojoe 01-20-2004, 06:37 PM deans to tamiya adapter? geeze, should have just stuck with tamiya plugs. less resistance then both the plugs. you must have been hit in the head a few too many times with paintballs. :lol: *edit* speaking of paintball, thats another thing I should have kept cheap. good ol' airsoft for me now. picked up a gun and pellets at my local sports shop; cost me less then $20. JB_The_Evader 01-20-2004, 06:55 PM lol. No I didn't get shot in the head too many times, i just converted my losi and evader (which has been in a box all summer) to deans, along with all of my batteries, but I never got around to doing my evx. I would just use adapters, and since i dont race the maxx it doesn't really matter. However, I lost the adapters, so I'll switch it over to deans once I get the plugs. tommckay 01-21-2004, 06:04 AM Guver, the one I'm selling ain't no roller, It's an RTR with all my goodies. I just want to get a NEW truck, sounds wierd, but I an wierd so thats OK! :freak: Pro-Line kit w/Lunsford turnbuckles, Center CVD in rear, Rear CVD's, Dynamite shocks, Dynamite Steering bellcranks, RPM Bumpers front & rear, RPM Skidplate set & bulkhead braces, RC Raven Chassis Braces and Servo guard, Stock tires & rims, Pro-Line 40 Series Masher tires on Velocity rims (only run twice), stock radio gear and servos (gonna keep the Hi-torquer I have!). Haven't decided how to sell it just yet, nor how much I want, I know I would want to get $275 or better but I'm not sure if it's realistic even with all the extra goodies. Whatchu guys think? JB_The_Evader 01-21-2004, 10:54 PM lol. No I didn't get shot in the head too many times, . Now that I think about it maybe i did. I didn't use adapters, I used some tamiya plug pigtails that I soldered on to my batts when I was running my maxx. snickers 01-22-2004, 12:17 AM Wow, this was the last thread on the page..... Rescued again! I'm gonna sell one of my 3 E-maxxes. One of YOUR 3 E-maxxes? I payed for mine myself, thank you. Just playin dad. tommckay 01-22-2004, 10:47 AM Hush you! :lol: smojoe 01-22-2004, 05:06 PM so if your going to sell a maxx does that mean your going to buy that UE center shaft off me? :lol: its still sitting there in my toolbox. if anyone wants to make an offer just pm me :thumbsup: tommckay 01-22-2004, 10:50 PM That would actually have been for Snickerses truck. Want it Snickers? Promatchracer 01-22-2004, 11:46 PM Hey Joe post a pict of it I am building a UE Maxx I already have the 16 cell chassis with the CVd's that come with it But I could use some for 1 of my other 6 maxxes (not like Tom's wimpy 3) LMK if you guys got stuff to Pimp it out Tom I will give you $40 for the Shocks off that truck LMK Casey smojoe 01-23-2004, 05:45 PM its only a rear shaft with two MIP outdrive cups. I'll see if I can find a pic. *edit* here ya go http://www3.freepichosting.com/Images/94126/6.jpg snickers 01-24-2004, 02:04 AM Nah, i don't want it, my E-maxx is running fine Promatchracer 01-24-2004, 06:39 PM How much did you want for it Joe smojoe 01-24-2004, 10:30 PM You got PM, Promatch smojoe 02-02-2004, 10:45 PM bump.... :) Ive found the perfect place for maxx bashin'. My highschool! has the perfect conditions including grass, pavement, and what you racers would call 'blue groove.' best part is, Im there every weekend for science olympiad :thumbsup: tommckay 02-03-2004, 05:57 AM Location: CA........ Uh Huh... See, around here the current surface outside is Snow, Ice, and the occasional patch of pavement or frozen dirt. :P :tongue: smojoe 02-03-2004, 05:39 PM well, a few days ago it was dirt but now its nothing but mud :( tommckay 02-04-2004, 05:47 AM I'd take mud about now! Tired of winter, ready for spring. only 2 more months! BIGG-K 02-04-2004, 08:56 PM Anybody know where I can find the metal gear housing thats inside the diff, instead of that plastic one , that I keep destroying. HELP!!!! tommckay 02-05-2004, 07:44 AM Check Unlimited Engineering, I think they make one. I know there are other places as well. Seen them on E-bay before... smojoe 02-08-2004, 01:17 AM Check Unlimited Engineering, I think they make one. they only "make" diff cups for 1/8 scale diffs. I looked around for you, BIGG-K, and didnt find much. however, i did find some diff stuff on the maximizer website ( www.maximizerproducts.com ) that might be usefull to you. I got the shock socks in that I ordered. they were a little hard to put on, but keep the shock shaft and stuff clean (had a bashing session in some wet dirt; not mud, but just wet dirt.) I should have some pics up as soon as I find my photo editing software. tommckay 02-10-2004, 05:57 AM Sold My Maxx on E-Bay, took less than 9 hours. I'll be getting a new truck to piddle my money away on now! :lol: smojoe 02-10-2004, 08:42 PM congrads, tom! guess I wont be getting those idlers then..... ;) lollie302 02-10-2004, 11:37 PM Check out my e-maxx for sale http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?t=75284 If it doesn’t sell I would consider parting it out. It cost 1300.00 to build and selling it for 600.00 Tom has seen this truck. tommckay 02-11-2004, 02:17 PM Yep Lollies is a great truck, If I had the cash.... I didn't realize you has that much into it though! Wow! smojoe 02-17-2004, 07:05 PM Bump.... :rolleyes: nice truck, lollie :thumbsup: tommckay 02-27-2004, 08:34 AM New E-Maxxes are really fast!! The new one I got is soo much faster it's almost scary. I was pulling everybody on the straight and clearing the triples consistantly (even after 5.5min of running!) which is unheard of with an E-maxx. The only mod on the truck was the steering servo. It was so fast that my normal suspension set up wasn't working as well as it normally would, but needless to say, I'm Happy! lollie302 02-27-2004, 11:29 PM Tom is there any changes to the new one? I think I will be out at Washtenaw next weekend. tommckay 02-28-2004, 07:28 AM Not that I can tell Lollie, everything looks the same. If I can get the handling down or re-learn my throttle control on the infield, it will be spectacular! I know you were coming real close to clearing the triples with your truck, or were you clearing them? The only thing I saw with clearing the triples, was that you had to be careful with that off camber corner right after them. You carry so much speed after the triple that it's easy to slide way out in that corner or if you get it tight it becomes a decent jump that will throw off your line. You got to hit it, land, slow it, and make the corner right, which is even harder to do in traffic! lollie302 02-28-2004, 11:36 AM I only cleared them nicely once and that was before the race. I still need some more steering out of mine, I think I’m too light with the front oil. Joe Novak 02-28-2004, 12:22 PM Has anybody checked out the brushless system for the e-maxx? The novak HV? I have one on order just waiting for it to arrive! tommckay 02-28-2004, 10:41 PM Havn't seen the Novak system in action, but have seen a Hacker run. Very nice, fast & great run time. smojoe 03-03-2004, 06:51 PM All I have heard about the novak system is that it is about a powerfull as stock; maybe even more. Then again, that was from one of their ads, so who knows... sounds like your having fun with your new rig, Tom. Maybe I should come to michigan to see how my truck would fair on your track... :-) tommckay 03-03-2004, 07:48 PM That would be real cool! Ever raced with 15 other Maxxes before or 10 in one heat? Pretty fun stuff! smojoe 03-04-2004, 12:04 AM Cant say I have, Tom. Hopefully there will be a track in my town some day. Actually, I overheard the people at my LHS (there is a small one in my town, but usually go to one in another town) talking about getting the city to let them build one. doubt it will support maxxs, though. :( Been working on setting my yokomo up for drifting. I have the settings down, I just need to learn how to drive it right... :freak: tommckay 03-04-2004, 06:56 AM Drifting is really fun! I've had some real fun drifting before. It's not the fast way around a track, but it's real cool! vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2013, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
