aqwut · 05.12.2008, 12:41 AM

Looks great bro....!!

its me · 05.12.2008, 12:51 AM

Thanks guys! and I got a really good question for you...LOL

How in the hell do I wire this thing together..yes I know ima noob LOL

Do I need a Ubec and how many LVC do i need?? one for each batt?

suicideneil · 05.12.2008, 07:16 AM

No UBEC or LVCs required, they are built into the escs. All you need to do is use a Y-splitter to join both escs to the receiver (throttle channel). Only important thing to remember is that both escs need to be pregrammed exactly the same, to prevent the motors fighting eachother as they spin. This should help:

I would also suggest using that parallel battery harness to ensure both batteries discharge evenly, and hit LVC together- you dont want one motor to stop working, as the tall gearing will quickly overload the other motor if it has to do all the work itself. Wait until the V-twin guys see this truck, they will soil themselves...

Great info Neil, and itsme that truck is really turning out to be a kind of ICON of sorts. That layout is one of the nicest looking builds that we have seen. Very symetrical and clean. I like that harness for the twin ESC power. Since we know you will do it I am interested in seeing how it works out for you. With that much torque and raw power you should have no problem stomping the nitros, but actually handling that much power will be a real challenge. Just like the twin Big Maxximum build the drivetrain is going to undergo a tremendous amount of strain. If you have any weak points you will deffinitely get to see what they are. Good luck and keep up the good work.

Thanks man and the drive train is also something ive been wondering about, hopefully phatlines and throttle control will help some of that. Im excited to see this thing go :)

Im sure that there are alloy diff cups for those diffs, I've seen a couple people disuss them before but Im buggered if I can remember where...

jordan... · 05.14.2008, 10:10 PM

The only company i could find that makes Al cups for the HB diffs is Nova RC, so not too sure if you want to get them. Someone also said that a Savage diff cup from Maximizer would fit if shimmed correctly. Check out my centre diff thread: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11190

For those wondering, e maxx will be done and ran soon.. Just got some issues to take care of first.

JERRY2KONE · **Updates -** 06.24.2008, 03:41 AM

Sounds good. We all look forward to seeing this thing running. I also have some info to clarify. I purchased aluminum diff cups for the hybrid diffs. I got a pair of the Maximizer cups, and a pair of the RCM diff cups for the savage. They work perfectly in the hybrid diff housings. The only thing that I did not realize was that the bearing on the diff cup was an odd size, so I had to order them special and I am still waiting on them to come in. I think they are 12X16X5. Sine I had ordered a huge lot of bearings from that bearing company and got the free caliper I got to use it, and made sure that I ordered the correct bearings. So now I am waiting on them to arrive. The only problem is that the movers are packing our stuff up right this minute. SO now it has to wait till we arrive in Korea.

Overall I now see why everyone likes these hybrid diffs for the Maxx and Revo trucks. They are really hefty and seem to be pretty much indestructable as long as you set them up correctly. With the builds I am working on they will have to be. Nice work on your custom chassis setup. Have you run that thing yet? I look forward to seeing some videos of your toy tearing up the dirt.
