E-maxx CVD's
 

Does anyone have suggestions for CVD's for E-maxx? I've looked for UE CVD's but I can't find any.

act quick - stuff goes fast on here...

Are the MIP CVD's any good?

sorry... should've mentioned that the link i provided was to a buy/sell/trade part of the UE forum. if you're not already a member there, you'll need a membership to view the b/s/t forums. anyhow, the link i provided was to a guy selling a set of UE 6mm cvds.

MIPs aren't bad. no comparison to UE, but not bad. i don't know much about the traxxas cvds, but i'd look at them if UE isn't an option.

I use the MIPs on my emaxx and they are very very strong. I recently shreaded by diff in the rear and I took apart the CVD think I would see wear, I mean com'on I ruined a diff. Well I looked at the CVD parts and I couldn't even see wear through their black finish. I guess the only down side would be they are steel so they are heavy but indestructible. Good luck.

i had MIPs on the front/rear of my maxx for about a year and i noticed the pin wore the hole larger in the axle portion. a noticeable amount. i'm not hard on my trucks by any means, but it was under brushless (well, novak 6.5) power the whole time. still, i replaced them with UE before any problems could arise.

MIP centers are another story entirely. do NOT get those, under any circumstances. they should be banned. maybe i'll write my congressman about them.

I've looked around and cannot find UE driveshafts.. Are these any good?

I went with the 3.3 shafts and knuckles.
I like them more then the mips.
I sold my UE 8mm to go back 3.3 style. :)

They'll hold up to a good BL setup?

Accually they hold up pretty well and cheap to replace. I am running a Quark and neu combo. It does well. They are same shafts that they run in the revos. :)

I use 3.3 shafts with my Neu 1515/1y and so far no problems:

I've actually got some UE CVD's that I'd sell you if you need them. If you're interested, just shoot me a PM.

Nah, I've had bad experiences from not buying from a store...

What do I do for the centers, will they fit without any mods?

I used RC-Monster dogbones. Just tell Mike that you need them for a stock chassis and he will make them the correct length.

If try a 3.3 center shaft you'll need to dremel the chassis like this: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...?t=7909&page=2

Do I e-mail him when I'm going to order them?

With the 3.3 shafts will I have to use 6mm E-maxx yokes or will they just fit directly?

Yes. Better yet put under notes/special instructions when you order online.

The output pin on the T-Maxx tranny is different then an E-Maxx. I don't remember the size. Maybe I can find it.

I think the t-maxx is 4mm and e-maxx is 6mm, How did you fit your 3.3 driveshafts on your maxx?

I used the RC-Monster dog bones for the centers. For the out drives I used the 3.3 shafts. I also used RPM axles carriers and arms, and T-Maxx 3.3 turnuckles. With that setup I just swapped parts and did not have to do any modifications.

Are the outdrives on an E-maxx 4mm?

Must be the 3.3 shafts fit without modification.

Ok sweet! That will work now but I still have to find out if the 3.3 shafts will fit the HB diff..

Let me know because I'll be getting some also.

Thanks and will do.

I found the answer. You do have to do a modification:
