Yes as you says its down to the size of the gear v's the angle of the shafts, I found the 56t to be just about right, i had to file the edges of the braces just a little bit but its enough to keep the angle of the shafts not too steep. Plus 10 51 meant that there weren't enough teeth in contact, the 10 pinion was too small a gear with this power, it would rip the teeth off the spur. so 12/56 gave a better contact patch between the gears. Ideal would be something like 14/65 but the spur would be too massive to fit in.

Slipperential is the key Ryan.. :p

And you can always use blue-tac... LOL

Hey ryan. have you consider going to the hb diffs in thefront and back. It would gear you down and take some pressure off the spur. The 56 12 gearing 4.66 ratio with the 3.31 diffs. You could accually go to the hb 4.3 diffs and run a 14 51 geating. No more modding the spurs to fit you system.

He is too much in love with his UE 8-spiders.. I tried talking him into the HB's some time back, but somehow he isn't falling for it...

1 word Ryan;

Custom

Chassis

[neweuser]

Hey sneeck, isn't that two words? LOL :)

[aqwut]

You're truck looks nicer every year man.... very cool...:)

[Candyman2]

I was thinking about making a chassis from scratch, but then lost interest a bit. The truck s strong and reliable, I run it when I like and dont want to fool around with it anymore. Ive moved onto other projects now, I might come back to it but not anytime soon.

Your 66/13 and 2nd gear gives you about a 9 to 1 gearing ratio. the 56/10 slipper/pinion would give you a 5.6 to 1..

Stock diffs are 37/13 and the HB diffs are 43/10, meaning your total gearingratio now would be something like 25 to 1 .With the slipper (56/10) with HB diffs would give you an 24 to 1

with stock diffs and the slipper, that would be like 16 to 1.

My word of advice; if you want awesome runtime and speed from your hv-maxx get a 4S lipo setup! you'll love it.

hey serum dude..thanks for doing the figures for me...its the numbers thing that scares me all the time...so i always do the "slap it on and see if it smokes" method of finding gear ratios...haha. thanks for saving me the hassle and sleepless nights.

lipos?? i wish dude, but current state i'm in, i'm lucky i dun have to sell of my RCs.......

wow! never thought of "contact patch" that you mentioned!! imagine ripping the teeth of the spur!! yikes!!!!

so i guess all this brings me to this.....

since ...
i wont be buying a new BL system...(anytime soon that is)

and
i dun wanna butcher my nice Gmaxx chassis....

me thinks me leave the emaxx tranny in there for now and use the dom slipper for another project!!!!

Thanks!

hey dude, sorry to disappoint, but i wont be able to go this route for the reasons mentioned.....

but......

i have other plans afoot....haha

[Candyman2]

Cant believe its been 2 years since my last post in this thread! well lets start with a bang!

Slight short out problem, first time I have run 18 cells, I was a little concerned the schulze was going to pop and when I saw the smoke I thought it was toast. Turns out the washers holding the velcro down had worked through the heatshrink on the cells, better than the speedo going







I machined up some end blocks to hold everything in place a bit better and even managed to find 2 more cells with similar figures to rebuild the pack!




Not a lot else has changed on the truck, pretty much as it was, switched the airtronics 200 oz/in servo for a hitec 333 oz/in, much better.








I just got back from running it, clutch was slipping a bit too much maybe it glazed over? anyway I will upload video later on

2 Years I don't think I have ever had the same RC for 2 years. Unlucky with the battery. What run time do you get with all those cells?

I'm glad to see you're back Candyman. Maxx Bling was the inspiration for my e-maxx addiction, and I've built several since I started this hobby. You do awesome work, I especially like your custom chassis solid axle trucks. Keep up the stellar work!

Yeah, I always wanted to get an Emaxx and it was becuase of this one. I use to have a fair few photos on my computer of it but all gone after I got the virus and had to reload windows

Nice to see some updates Candyman, Maxx Bling was definately one of the inspirations of my build. Its the first time ive ever noticed you have the rear upper plate cut out as well, and here i was thinking i was the first
