Hacker Maxx Build

Snellemin, the rustler looks good, and I am sure those c40 motors kick azz too! They look like the best size (power to weight) motor for a lighter 2wd vehicle.

Ummmm...........Where did you get the 48 tooth Mod 1 spur?

Hey Sike, figured you might ask that question.

Here is the selection of MGT spur gears: Mod1 spurs

All you have to do is slightly drill out the center hole to fit the traxxas slipper bearing, and drill out 3 of the small holes to fit over the bolt bosses on the slipper hub. It is wise to use small washers on the 3 allen head screws that hold the gear on. I will snap a pic of the gear when I swap the 52t in.

I have given up on 32p for the larger vehicles, mod1 is so much more forgiving than 32p.

Thanks for the info!

I'm with you on the 32p gears. I've ran several packs through this E maxx with the mod 1 gears. Running hard, and they show NO WEAR.

If these were 32p gears, no telling what they would look like.

I've never had any luck pushing any kind of real power level through 32p gears.

32p is good for pedes and other 2wd trucks.

That is about it.

I really want to go back to the shop and play with the emaxx! I will charge the lipos again and see how much they take. I ran it for about 15mins and it did not seem to be losing voltage at all.

I wanted to play with my E maxx today, but we had some major storms moving through the area. Big winds too. It blew a couple of Semi trucks off the interstate. Big Nasty wreck close to town that blocked both the South bound lanes. They were rerouting traffic and had things backed up for miles. A little chaotic there for awhile.

You like those 2200 packs don't ya? Hmmmmm.......4400mah 20C at 5S. That should give you about 20 to 25 minutes hard runtime I would think. I'm sure that Hacker is a hungry feller though.

What's your motor temp looking like?

[sikeston34m]

That Lipo setup should be good for 88 amps continous. That's some pretty good power actually.

These packs are looking good, cost 100 bucks for the pair. The hacker was running a little warm for my tastes, but the body did not have any cooling holes, and the gearing was a bit much, in my opinion. I have trimmed the body and will lower the gearing and give it a good run tomorrow.
