My Maxx Kicks Your Maxx's Ass Build - RC-Monster Forums

I think it might be time for an MMM. Seems my MM has given up the ghost. When I plug the battery in and it turns on, it turns right back off, then on and does the tone, and it does that over and over and over and over. And I probably need an MMM anyway due to the size of the motor and the amps it pulls.

I have a used XXX-T with a bunch of upgrades that I can trade for a new MMM if anyone is interested BTW.

Glad your enjoying your Emaxx, BUT had to comment on your inflammatory title "my emaxx kicks your emaxx's butt" I'm with SuicideNeil on this one!

Have you seen some of the members Emaxxes here? There are some seriously clued up individuals on this site, with seriously bling cars, and have been for years and years.

Seriously, unless your running full UE and Gmaxx parts with some mind blowing home made additions like centre diff etc, etc, you just can't say that, and even if you could, you just shouldn't!

For the record here's my 2 year old Emaxx conversion which I'd rate as very ordinary, and truth be told hardly gets used as my brushless Truggies and Buggies are more fun to drive.

just watched the vid, its connectors between battery and esc

Did you eliminate your on/off switch? It sure appears to be loosing connection at the switch.

If you left some wire attached where the switch used to be, I would see if those wires are good all the way to the board. Maybe there is a loose connection at the board for the switch wires.

Hmmmmmmmm..........

pull the trigger, current flows, heat builds, the connection is lost. sit a second, cool, connection regained. lather, rinse, repeat

sikeston34m · 01.11.2009, 12:03 AM

That's very possible.

I'm wondering if it does this when driving slow also?

Those Bursts do really spike the amperage.

_paralyzed_ · 01.10.2009, 11:21 PM

sounds a lot like bad connectors between the esc and battery.

The problems make me think they are dean's connectors. Correct?

Although they may look good connectors go bad from the slight arc of connecting and disconnecting.

I had the same problem, new connectors solved it.

please try and report results(I'd like to know if I diagnosed it correctly, I learn from my mistakes!)
