Novak HV won't Work in new E-maxx - RC-Monster Forums

looks good sikeston.

i'm sure in a worst-case-scenario for the new emaxx owners with a novak system, they'll have to pay $30 for a new, longer rotor to replace what they have. problem solved. (maybe novak will make the shaft thicker, but then everyone will have to upgrade pinions too).

i do agree with your conspiracy theory - it seems too 'planned' by Traxxas engineers to be just coincidence. older motor shafts not reaching as far forward just cannot have been overlooked.

Not too sure if I agree about the "consiracy". The revo style slipper is a certain thickness, as are the new stlye maxx spur gears. The titan motor shafts reach just fine and that is what the tranny was designed around. Plus the hv maxx is a bit long in the tooth, and needs a shaft upgrade IMO. Pinions are a cost to factor in, but we all know by now what speed to gear a certain weight to with a certain tire and motor kv. I can pick the correct gearing first time and be happy with it.

The new E-Maxx tranny with revo spec slipper looks like a great design all around.

Just use a Mega Motors long shank pinion and a revo spur and you're all set

I agree. I would doubt that Traxxas would plan that on purpose, but at the same time when they put the Novak motor in it they knew the problem existed...and...probably were not that sad about it.
