I plan to give it a test run tomorrow.I am very interested to see the Lehner HI-amp 1950 7t rip. I have some UE diffs and a new set of Ultramaxxed gears here if needed. I am going to bolt up a Plet BIGmaxximum also! Should be a fun Easter.:whistle:The weather here in GA is going to be perfect!!

No offense to Matt but that lehner should rip but it won't because Matt doesn't run any of his truck which explains how his ESCs can afford to be mounted so high.

Nice score Matt!! My favorite part on the truck is the towers! I love what they do for the truck! Next is the Power Strokes. Then the FLM and Gmaxx tranny combination together. Its a rare thing to see them together. It took me hours to get the cases to fit together then hours more to get the gears to mesh nicely. Are these recent purchases where as maybe the FLM fixed the case? The Strobe+sprong= very nice too!! I'm jealous!

Dont see many of the anodized chassis around, let alone suspension too. That motor will be awesome, though a Plett will match the color scheme a bit better perhaps :lol:

But yeah, that esc is mount up wayyyy too high- make an L shaped tray for it to mount where the 2nd motor would normally ( using the same mounting holes too ), that'll keep the CoG down and protect the esc and wires at the same time; looks silly mounted how it is now.

plettenbergs 04.05.2010 05:24 PM

FLiM trani went together very easily with Gmaxx half case!

I also lowered the esc mount as instructed...DONT WANT MY SHIZZLE TO LOOK SILLY!

We will run the Lehrner today and Plett tomorrow! The long output shaft on the single speed trani looks TWISTABLE!!!:yes:

I am all charged up and headed out to the yard in about 30 minutes!
Technically the Gmaxx is my 10 year olds truck!We are ditching the last NITRO! He will be testing the truck for us!!!!

I have a very nice tmaxx fore sale with new Picco .26 small block nitro engine!:diablo:

magman 04.05.2010 05:32 PM

Very nice

plettenbergs 04.05.2010 07:54 PM

HOLLY ZIPPY, batman!
 
you MEN will not believe this!!!:rules:
The Gmaxx on 5s2p Zippy's ran for 1hour 20 minutes...We were not at a race track just in my sodded back yard...It ran and ran and ran and ran!
The 1950 has Hella power, more than enough for the Gmaxx.
FYI: 51/16 was PERFECT gearing....motor was never over 120,esc hit 160 auto cut off a couple times...MY MMM didn't burn..I DONT HAVE ONE:lol:,thank god!The schulze 18.97 is working like a champ,still!

Kcaz25 04.05.2010 08:15 PM

Very impressive about the battery. As you stated I love that the Maxx platform is 10 years old and still does well. I don't care what you say a fully modded maxx will perform with current gen. Long live the maxx.

BTW backflips never did twist that output shaft you are talking about with my truck pared with that exact tranny setup.

I retrack some of what I said about you not running your trucks Matt. Sounds like a ton of fun!

I can't see how anyone melts there MMM. Mine has been through it ALL. I understand however that you are partial to the schulze.

Beautiful G-Maxx. Looks so good I almost wouldn't run it.

As far as I know the steel output shaft is pretty robust, but I've grenaded a ton of those aluminum ones.

That's some GREAT runtime! Though actually I would try to alter the gearing a bit to bring the ESC temp down.

plettenbergs 04.05.2010 08:42 PM

any suggestions, i have tons of gears and spus?...I like the blue delrin A LOT!
i think i have some Kippster 48 and 52 slipper/spur gears set ups?

this is also the first time with the Power Strokes(i am a UE guy at heart)...I like them,the truck did not roll over one time!

Typically a warm ESC means slightly overgeared so try the 52T spur in place of the 51T that's on there. It's a small difference but a difference nonetheless, it might be just enough to bring the ESC down into a decent range.

Also, the PowerStrokes are fantastic shocks. I loved the set I had. I found that performance wise they were the best shocks I've ever used on a Maxx.
