i have the same wheels as you, but done mine in red and blue.:dude:

well, got a peice of wire wrapped in the rear today,popping 2 shock caps.:mad: damn wire!

I broke the end off my cvd saturday these things are starting to cost alot lol :thumbsup:

true. got around 500 in mine so far and havent really drove it that hard. my pede was tougher then this truck is.

I have about 900$ in my truck its pretty built proof right now.But i jump it pretty hard cleared 45 feet last week with it.

damn! :eek: i like climbing on the local salt storage area. Since theres a HUGE pile of gravel out back, its there i have my fun. :) also enjoy the 2 speed feature on it. :)

Well, going to get maxx2 running soon... YES, cant wait.:dude:

Well righ t now I have 2 E-maxxes. One is almost a bone stock old school E, and a newer 2.5 wide maxx E. All the nice hop ups have been, or will be added to the 2.5E. mTronics esc, mip Center CVDs, rpm a-arms, bearings and carriers, bulk head braces, wear plates, 2 stage pistons, shock towers, wide maxx claw rims with masher 2k tires.

The old school E is going up for sale Almost RTR, needs radio gear. and the Wide E is a keeper(for now). What I love about the E is it's size, but for were I have to run it's biggest down size is it's size as well.

i have 2 E's also, one becoming my "ROAD MAXX" and the other is "everywhere maxx"


i have the old motors in maxx 2, should i:
run em til deth
chenge over to newer version

Well here are my updated E-maxx pics: http://www.ripper7racing.com/r7rforums/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=167
I have yet to run the rebuild E. But hopefull this weekend.

Im thinking of getting one. How long dose it last with moderate driving?

What exactly do you mean "How long does it last?" ? I mean, if you can drive and not run into stuff alot/hard it will last a very long time. It will last a long time regardless, but you'd be buying replacement parts more often if you run into things of do extreme things like massive air jumping and stuff.

what batteries would be a decent ($25-40 range) upgrade from RS 3300 packs :confused:

No, but me likey. And it even has the CVD boots on it already, suweet! But the CVD axles say Revo/T-maxx, which I think means 3.3 T-maxx. If that's the case, I don't think it will work the stock E-maxx. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

I just got me son a pretty much stock e and he says it's slow compared to his T-Maxx. He's running duel gp-3300s and the stock motors. Hows the best way to start maxing this thing out. Somebody posted that they hit 58 mph, running what motors and ESC.

A Stock E? Was it used or new? If used, the motors are probably tired and need to be replaced. Titans noticeably lose performance once worn good. Is the ESC set up properly? Is he using 2nd gear?

My Suggestion is to replace the motors & re-set the esc.

The truck won't be as fast as a T-Maxx in top end, but will be faster "out of the hole" from a dead stop & have alot more torque. If you want it to be as fast, you'll need to go brushless. Either a Novak HV maxx or a Hacker system, then you'd still have the torque but the top end too.

thanks for the tip on driveshafts GP i take it these are what i need to go brushless with my e-maxx? I'm looking for the best steering servo for quicker steering any suggestions? anyone?

oops, i probably should have introduced myself first, i am the proud new owner of a used e-maxx i got it for $200.00 from a fellow racer. i always wanted one and am so happy to finally have one. i like the fact that it seems like it could drive on any surface and go anywhere. it has a very powerful feel too it . i just cant get over how much fun it is and is going too be.
I also like the fact that there are so many others that feel the same way
i think I,m going to have too change my user name to something with e-maxx in it I enjoy it so much more than my associated T4

If you can afford it a JR z9000t is the way to go! Otherwise, Hitec has some nice units for a budget racers. Just get something with at least 150oz (higher the better) of torque with a transit speed of .18 or better. Also, the pro-line steering kit mod helps alot too.

Welcome to the E-Maxx world!

thanks i'll check that one out

Tom,

Silly question, but what is the pro-line steering kit mod? I have not heard about that one. Would definitely be interested in hearing about it.

Thanks!
PD2:thumbsup:

I call it a "mod" because the Pro-Line kit is made for the T-Maxx, but can easily be installed on the E with a modification to the chassis.

AH! Good to know! And we are sure that this will work with and fit the E-Maxx? Stormer went out of their way to say T-Maxx only there. Just making sure. Any mods that have to be done to make it work/fit? Just wondering!

Thanks for the link Tom!
PD2:thumbsup:

The E-Maxx chassis has a plastic post molded in for one of the bellcrank arms. The modification is to use a dremel & cut that post off flush (or close to flush) to the chassis. It's for "T-Maxx Only" because you have to modify a stock E-Maxx chassis. If you were to use an aftermarket chassis like gorilla or the Bombproof one it would bolt right in.

Ive installed the kit on 3 different E-Maxxes without a problem. Buy the kit, compare the parts and you'll see just what I mean.

Gotcha! Thanks for that helpful tip! And definitely appreciate the info on the steering upgrade and mod!

Thanks!

PD, just bring it over and I'll do it for you, LOL. You can check mine out. Why are you going to work on it anyway when you never even drive it? Ha ha ha ha ha. I just finished putting the Widemaxx suspension on mine, it is completely rebuilt, has the new '73 Bronco body on it and is ready to roll. If it ever stops raining call me and we'll go play.

Hello all,
I just bought a used E-maxx. Does anyone lock the rear diff? Is there a down side? What is the best way to do it? I dont mind buying a spool.

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXSP76&P=7

i have a traxxas rear spool in my E-maxx, you could always use JB weld in the stock one, but for the price of the spool I woudl just get the spool.

You dont have problems braking other parts? I am not that hard on my stuff just want more traction off-road.

If you run off road mostly I don't think the spool will couse any extra wear. My E-maxx has become a shelf queen since my bash buddy sold his E-maxx off to get back into micro onroad. So I re-installed the spool for the few times I have ran it in the last few months. But I run it hard when I do.

I like a stock diff filled with OFna 150,000wt Diff lock. for more a of a limited slip action. But it does leak out after time.

But my truck is all hoped up with all the RPM goodies, new grey TRX t-maxx 3.3 parts and newer maxx sliders. If I keep it longer i will go 3.3 sliders as well.

There is plusses and minuses for running a spool in the back & it depends on exactly what it is you're doing with it as to if it will be a benefit or not. If you're actually racing it, it's not so good because it will tend to make the rear a little loose in the corners and cause a big "push" in the steering (wich can be compensated for in driving style). If you're just out bashing it is a plus because it will keep both rears turning regardless of the terrain you're running over.

No racing for my maxx just lots of play

Then a spool is the way to go.

Since it is a used truck i would pick upa set or rear sliders just in case ;) and that is really the only part I see failign under the stress of spool, or a truck with no spool.

Tom,

Have you ever used the mTronics Truck ESCs? They are very nice.

Center shafts as well!

Ron, nope. I Haven't. But being waterproof I have looked at them. I didn't get one when I upgraded though, I went with the Novak HD unit & glad I did, it's much better than the EVX

The mTronics Fell Into my lap And i like it alot. The EVX I had in my old style E seems to have glitched out after I sold it back to the original owner.

But the mTronics is sooo much smooth on the throttle and brake! and run a lot coooler. I get 3-6 more minutes of time with changing out the ESC..

No Reciever in the 1st set of pics??

Snow running is fun, but it's amazing how much snow will get stuck and wedged in the truck ain't it? Last time I did that I had to put the truck in the tub for a few hours as the snow melted. then the wife yelled at me because the resulting water was real dirty..... :lol:

The first set up pics is from when i took all the parts I liked off my old style E-maxx and transfered them onto the 2.5 wide maxx I got from a friend. So I sold my OLD style E to buy the 2.5 version from from my friend ;)

The first time running in the snow i got nothing under the body, was more Ice and heavy, heavy frost the last tiem I was amazed!

I let it sit in a plastic storage container over night with a shop towel under it. Fired it up and everything was good :D

Tom you still running a Elec-Revo?

Ok I'm new to the E MAXX and I plan on racing it this summer. Any help in setting to up for racing and what parts I need to replace to make it more durable. I race TC on carpet so RC is not new to me but the E MAXX is a used one so I don't know much about it.

B

I have an E-maxx , was thinking on putting a brushless in it just wonder what would be the pro and con s ?? Thanks

Yeah Ron, still running the EVO (as I call it). As a matter of fact I was out racing it yesterday & won the main!

Rockdog - the truck really needs nothing to race it, maybe some back up parts would be a good idea. The most common parts you'll need is center shafts, rear slider shafts, motors, and Idler gears. One nice upgrade is the Robinson Slipper unit. The rest you can upgrade and modify as you want, there are no "manditory" hop ups on the E-maxx. Sure there's some nice stuff to have, but none of it is essential. Some people may say "you gotta have this" or "you're dumb if you don't have that", but I raced pretty much stock E-Maxxes for quite a few years and never needed all that stuff.

GMC24 - Pro - It will be fast & lots of fun ~ Con - It will be fast & you may break more stuff.
