If you hop over to my website, I have detailed pics in the TXT-1 and Gmaxx sections of the tranny being converted to single speed, both with the full tranny still, and the gmaxx single speed conversion.

The diffs in the red alum cases from a while back (your ebay link in your posting #21) - just stock maxx diff parts assembled in a set of alum diff cases - the combo bulks you picked up will be much better than those, obviously.

http://www.unlimitedengineering.com/instructions.shtml Go down 11 or 12 items to the Ultralites and click on V1.5 - that opens a pdf - UEs build instructions. Save it to your PC, print it or whatever you want to do.

Bloody useless....





Just install the coupler into the 2nd gear... gear, and remove the drive dog and shifter fork. Leave the 1st gear-gear in place, or use 3 bearings as a spacer to prevent the whole output shaft from sliding back & forth inside the tranny case. $18 for the coupler I believe, and no other modifications required.

You have either a blown phase in your ESC or motor. Could be a short or cold solder joint somewhere too.

If it was a blown phase, you'd think you'd have trouble ALL the time. Seems to cogg then run right. Yeah, at least you can make sure all your connections are ok...

Brian, thanks for your input.

Try a different motor- if it still cogs, then the esc or wiring is at fault. If the problem goes away, you know there is something up inside the motor.

Tha,
Where you located? Maybe one of us is close and you can try a temp swap to see if it is motor or ESC.

Thread steal :) If anybody knows of a good deal for UE or equivilent Diff let me know I blew my rear, I need something that will standup to a Medusa 36 60 1600 V2

PM please so that THA can have his thread back

lol, i dont mind the stealing. lol.

i just got the FLM ones you saw in this post on ebay with stock diffs. but my thoughts are this. UE is polished, FLM is not. same everything else. just get the FLM combo bulks for 120 new and be happy with them.. just my $0.02... mine look awsome.

Yea but I was looking for a deal. 120 + 40 + 40 ish for the internals Now I am up in the several hundred range. Almost makes me think I should bail and get a new brushless ready e-revo or e-maxx

You never did mentoin what city your in. If your local to me I would be happy to have you stop by and trouble shoot it, I have a few parts that we could use as a test.
