whats up guys well i just got done putting my truck back together and went bashing yesterday and well my battery oozed with acid when i was dont it was so bad luckily it was just one so i still have one so ive decided to turn my e-maxx into a solid axle crawler i will start fabrication saturday cuz my equipment is it the shop i have a lathe , pipe bender , mill , sheet metal cutter , metal chunk cutter mig and tig welders , grinders , a powder coating machine and a sandblasting machine but the thing is there all my dad and his friends but i use all of it i love it im making a tube frame pickup truck style im going to powder coat it black i will either run 2 integy 55t motors or and hvmaxx system im not sure yet i just got done stripping the truck down to the tranny diffs and shafts i will have pics later tonight . i have a evx with 5 runs on it for sale and 2 trinity 19t monster maxx motors too pm for pics or w/e . so tell me what do you guys think ? anyone else have an e-maxx crawler ?
I know that someone on the traxxas forum has made a crawler from his maxx. he uses a 14/77 gearing and two diffspools (can be made with the lathe!) and a HVmaxx BL setup.
ooo i might give it a crack at making the spool wif my lathe maybe wheels to i saw a guy on clodtalk make rims out of aluminum and a lathe looks simple but i know its hard
my chassis will look similar to this one but it will have a cage on it <img src="http://www.chitownrc.com/gallery/files/5/5/IM000569.JPG" alt="Maxx" />
yes they do make a 55t motor . there is an 80 t motor but its a very rare find . i plan on putting to 2 washers on each side of the diff bolting them together and welding tubes as the knucke holders look at this one on rccrawler mine will look like these -http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=751&highlight=hybrid+axles
