**My FLM CCNeu Maxx Nearly Completed**

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

Looking good Zack...I like the anti roll bar setup you got... I have a set of those Losi sway bars for some time trying to figure good clean mounting position for them...
looks like your method might be the simplest for doing so now... have you tried it yet? did you see any handling differences? will you be adding one to the rear?

CLICK Will this tekin motor work with my old Novak HV-Maxx? I think my motor burnt up in it because it was so high KV and such tiny rotor. The rotors in those things man! Small. I haven't ran it in years so I hope it even works. I'll have to get a lipo cutoff of course.

[suicideneil]

I doubt the hvmaxx will handle a true 1/8 scale motor- according to GriffinRU the thing runs hot with only 40-60amps of current draw & the stock motors, wouldnt like to imagine ~120amp spikes and constant high loads from the kind of gearing 1/8 motors vs the hvmaxx motors.

[Kcaz25]

What do you suggest I do. Here are the vehicles I have, and controllers I have and the one truck that interest me. In my 12pound Mutant Maxx truggy I have the MMM 2200kv on 4s. 3906 FLM jacked up buddy truck 775 titan EVX2 Blue 4s. a Traxxas Titan sized boat with 550 motor mount. I plan to run the EVX2 in it sometime. I have a totally stock 25 Savage that I haven't ran in years. And the 10tt from OFNA really interests me, but that footprint on the HV-Maxx is huge. It would never fit right? Though a smaller tekin motor might work great in there on 3s. Right? I have a 3s hyperion pack. If you'll remember its that one 4s pack that got cut up on that drag.

Well depends on what you wanted to do. But if it were me and I was building a buddy truck and wanted to spend less than $160 (That Tekin Motor Cost)

Buy a CC 1717 and a Mamba Max from the Clearance sale. shipped will be $150. Run it on the 3s pack and gear for ~25-30mph. Gearing conservatively, I am sure the Max will be just fine in there. I think the Mamba Max was one of CC best ESC .
Then you will have a nice ESC for the 10tt if you get one and a 1717. Win-Win.

Nice build Zack. I will be watching, I am in the market for a motor for my E-Revo.

The brushless Maxx is doing fine now. I no longer have time to run it now as I'm getting married (YEAH btw!!). I imagine I'll keep it for when I have kids. lol Anyway but my "buddy truck" should probably hit the bay( I mean I want to sell it). I can't remember if this is allowed but how much do you think it is worth? (i looked at the rules briefly) How much will the ebay crowd pay for it? Don't miss the transmission. Its got a UE idler, robinson racing slipper, roll pin mod, FLM tranny, and GMaxx single speed. It will come complete with a body and a simple but excellent 2.4ghz radio.

I should mention it has RPM true tracks, a proline steering kit 3.3 knuckles. new 3.3 diffs and a high tech servo. Its brushless ready(easy on the diffs.)

Also the front skid is Titanium. The rear is super cheap aluminum like not billet and not 6061.

Prices seem to vary day to day, but assuming you give it a good clean to make it look it'd best, maybe $300-400 or so- will do better parting it out in all honesty, just means more work*

*since if a chop-shop buys it, that is exactly what they will do to make a profit on the purchase price..

Looks like you built 2 rigs out of my one. I still luv that Mutant Maxx set up. You really did finish it like I wish I could have, Nice job!!

I am surprised though you didnt end up using the PowerStroke shocks. What happened to those??

[Kcaz25]

I've been bitten by the Truggy race bug.

[Kcaz25]

First of all

Alien:

About the anti-sway bars. Yes I tested them extensively but not on a track. They worked just like anti-sway bars do, but I don't think I'm trained enough to notice. I took it off and put it on the rear and it binded too much and popped out and came apart. It worked even under the toughest conditions on the front, but not on the rear. I will leave it off for now. I will save on some weight. (IDK what the truck weighs. can't be that bad.)

3.3Maxx(Jacob):
I still have all 8 Proline Powerstrokes. They are great! I had fun trying them, but at the moment I am enjoying the buggy ones. They are 16mm. They may go back on.

Like I said in a previous post I've been bitten. I completely finished my "buddy" truck that can been seen on the previous page or here

Now I'm not racing this but I am thinking seriously about selling it to fund my racing itch!

This is what I'll be racing... at least for a couple of races. (its a long story)



I just recently found a real 1/8th scale track 15minutes from my new house in Louisville. Its operated by a local hobby shop that more 1/8th scale stuff than I've ever seen. I'm like a kid in a candy store when I go in there.

Any way the weather is decent tomorrow after church, so my wife and I(got married!) are going to practice. I've about 11,000mah to practice so it should be well worth the trip.

I'm excited because I know the track is made of brown dirt(lol) instead of red clay like all the other tracks back in Alabama. So should I put on by LRP Bowties or my LRP Holeshots?

Another thing I'm thinking is selling both of them and buying a Mugen T 5or6 or Losi 8T 1or2.

What do you think?

I've got some great parts...

Buddy truck:
FLM/GMAXX UE GEAR Tranny setup RRP slipper.
Proline steering
Titanium front skid
4(8) UE Supershocks
UE Knuckleheads
RPM Truetrack
(8 Proline Powerstrokes)

The other truck(lol):
Mutant Maxx chassis
UE 8gear diffs with Ultralite cases.
UE monoblock
Duh Shorty towers
rear Titanium skid
FLM bulks
UE Servo saver
Custom CF work(diff and servo area)
Lots of tires

I really don't know. The main truck runs just like a truggy. It really is amazing. I've raced it twice but I am not a good driver. I don't break it driving anymore it is tough.

[Kcaz25]

Update: Well my day at the track was a bummer. I cracked a titanium gear in my servo after 5 mins out on the track.

I got This Savox Servo from the hobby shop at the track the next week after

HERE is the track.

Here are the stats of the servo.

Specifications:
Speed @ 6.0V: 0.15
Torque @ 6.0V: 277 oz-in / 20 kg-cm
Weight: 52.4g
Bearing: Dual
Type: Standard
Gear: Titanium and Aluminum
Case: Aluminum Heatsink

Right now it seems even better than the old one that I had. From Hobbico. CS-170
SPECS:
Titanium gears
Aluminum heat sink
Speed: at 4.8V = .19 sec @ 6V = .15 sec
Torque: 4.8V = 250 oz-in (18 kg/cm)
6V = 333 oz-in (23.97 kg-cm)

After that I hit the track and was finally able to put down about 10,000mah. It was great!

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

Gosh... that track looks sweet! hmmm... been meaning to visit our local track so that I could get some laps, but it's too much driving... and the place is a scorcher...

hope you get back up and running soon...

Alien

[Kcaz25]

Thanks Alien!

Oh I did and was able to put down about 10,000mah! It was great! I need new tires though. I'm thinking VTR Calibers.
