[wolf2hawk]

you should set up your toe in it helped alot with my e maxx on the track

[RandomSkitts]

@wolf2hawk i have done so, but thanks ^_^

[907motomaniac]

Looks to much like a revo.....

[joenitro1985]

I see you took out some springs is that how you got it to sit so low? Really looks like a e-revo. Didn't believe it was a e-maxx at first. Till I watched it again. Good driving also. I gotta find a track like that.

[traxxasrockhead]

@joenitro1985 no, i played around with the shock mounting

[TraxxasmaxxUk]

Nice driving! What shock towers you running to get that low ride hight?

[traxxasrockhead]

@TraxxasmaxxUk i use the stock shock towers

[TraxxasmaxxUk]

Nice track driving what shock towers you using to get the ride hight so low?

[1RAH]

Well at least you can drive unlike some people I've seen with the mamba monster

[traxxasrockhead]

@1RAH thanks man :D

[98Ps3lover]

what body is that?

[traxxasrockhead]

@98Ps3lover a Pro-Ling crowd pleazer for the Maxx's

[98Ps3lover]

@traxxasrockhead im gonna get that for my slash 4x4 :D

[traxxasrockhead]

@98Ps3lover niiice

[98Ps3lover]

@traxxasrockhead is the lexan very thick?

[traxxasrockhead]

@98Ps3lover yeah it's pretty thick 

[7038675309]

@traxxasrockhead thats what she said

lol

[MrGorillion]

Nice truck, it sits very low....how? I've got a e maxx running a mamba motor and the thing is fast, mine sits high cos I don't like it bottoming out so easy( which it still does anyway) and because it's so high it's very rarely on it's wheels. Yours is nice, it's got that monster truggy look

[traxxasrockhead]

@MrGorillion thanks and i just messed around with the shock mounting, check out my E-maxx Setup video to see more

[BlackUltra007]

watch?v=fNB3TWMHRLw  -> E-Maxx Video<-

[killer4life1000]

isnt the e revo the same as emaxx so its basicly 1/8 too so same motor?

[traxxasrockhead]

@killer4life1000 yeah you can use the same motor

[Applemaster98]

HEY MAN What kind of wheels are those? do they fit the e revo 1 10 edition

[traxxasrockhead]

@Applemaster98 they are Proline 40 series Velocity 6 wheels and if the hex on the E-Revo is 14mm than yes they will fit

[traxxasrockhead]

@TheChris1696 i use an MRC 977, it takes an hour to charge at 4 amps

[99bmwz3]

You're a good driver!!!

[traxxasrockhead]

@99bmwz3 thanks

[mfranck955]

But you of the Lipo 2 or 3s above and he(it) will become one fuse!

[mtpadp]

handles, pretty darn good, looks awsome,you would,nt know it was a revo, good job

[traxxasrockhead]

@mtpadp thanks man ^_^

[88yougurt88]

what body???

[traxxasrockhead]

@88yougurt88 it's a Proline Crowd Pleazer

[1ubby]

how did u get it to set so low and dose it bottom out

[traxxasrockhead]

@1ubby i moved the shocks to different mounting hole in the shock arm and yes it does bottom out

[d3et1roi3t]

got my losi 8ight t 2.0 race roller e-conversion in the works.. im bout to install the mamba monster 2200kv / esc today then tx/rx and batterys and im ready to go.. My only question is i need to kno the track ratio and go fast ratios for my gearing..any help? ty

[traxxasrockhead]

@d3et1roi3t your 'GO FAST' ratio is gonna be the biggest pinion with the smallest spur, your track gearing is something a little less (like maybe a 16T with the stock spur) i myself use a 19T with my E-maxx, i don't own a truggy so i don't know what the perfect gearing is

[crash83728]

hey,is this running on 1 battery or 2???. If so what kind

[traxxasrockhead]

@crash83728 it's running on 2 Reedy 2s 5000mah 35C Lipo

[crash83728]

@traxxasrockhead thnx man

[traxxasrockhead]

@crash83728 no problem

[1521joe]

great vid man, so thanks

those reedy batts are crazy money here in the uk.

i use the turnigy.

[traxxasrockhead]

@1521joe thanks man and how well do those Turnigy batts work for you?

[1521joe]

@traxxasrockhead

hey traxx :)

ok, the turnigy have no quality control, and i think the statistics are for every 10 turnigy sold, 3 batts dead or have an issue.

but dude, listen up, they are less than 1/4 of the price and are crazy quick.

even the regular 4s 40-50c will surprise you.

the nano techs are sick!, they will destroy your drive train if it aint tight and smooth.

Right now i cant think of better batts.Turnigy have got it going on right now, and for small dollar.

[traxxasrockhead]

@1521joe oh nice, sounds good :D

[1521joe]

@traxxasrockhead

if you need batts in the future, try turnigy from Hobbyking.

thier so cheap, you got nothing to lose.

but when that huge rush of amps comes in, youll think your motors been hit with a sledgehammer :))

[junior86449]

that E-MAXX is the shit i just got 1 and i love it but i want that motor 4 mine that thig is crazy

[traxxasrockhead]

@junior86449 thanks, this thing is a blast to drive ^_^

[RClife2013]

Oh lucky i wish i had a track like that at my hobby store.

[RClife2013]

nice track how long it take you to do tht? and nice emaxx!!

[traxxasrockhead]

@RClife2013 i didn't build the track, it's my hobby store's track

[EMaxx21488]

what are the name of the songs? pls.

thamks

nice e-maxx

[traxxasrockhead]

@EMaxx21488 it's Rocket by Kevin MacLeod, if you go to the link in the underbar you'll find it

[santclause1]

Dude sick vid. i,m getting E-MAXX brushless edition. will 3s 5300mah 20c run fine or will i need a higher C rating. i,m new to lipo so not sure. cheers.

[traxxasrockhead]

@santclause1 cool thanks for the comment dude :D

[elitecamaroz28]

@santclause1 you need at least 30c. Castle won't warranty damage due to insufficient batteries.

[draven3907]

103mph!! rc car with a 2200kv mamba monster motor that rev's to 60,000rpm Look at the vid!!!

[elitecamaroz28]

@draven3907 where, dummy?????

[sparmaclol]

i tought the new mamba max motors were water prove just not water submergible

[traxxasrockhead]

@sparmaclol most brushless motor are waterproof, in fresh water not it salt water, it's the ESC you gotta worry about

[TheChris1696]

Kind of looks like the e revo

[traxxasrockhead]

@TheChris1696 yeah it kinda does ^_^

[OfficialXDC]

i have so much money that i use one of those motors as a starter for my Nitro.

... the 1/8th scale xD

[xXpsychopathicXx420]

so all in all, not regarding personal preference, would you say the emaxx BE or the erevo BE is better for bashing?

[traxxasrockhead]

@xXpsychopathicXx420 although i don't have the E-REVO Brushless i would say the E-maxx, it's not a track toy like the E-REVO is

[douhnutz]

@xXpsychopathicXx420 if you didn buy it yet..i would say the e revo...you could always get harder shocks, and put in the longer rocker arms to make it a basher...

[xXpsychopathicXx420]

so other than the tranny and the diff, the mechanics of this beast is bone stock?

wowza! lol

[traxxasrockhead]

@xXpsychopathicXx420 oh and i forgot that i'm running a JRacing XS3 pro JR racing servo and MIP cvds in the front soon be in the rear but besides that it's stock

[xXpsychopathicXx420]

whats the setup of this truck?? it looks amazing and the handling is incredible! i need to know everything about this truck inside and out! please and thank you :)

[traxxasrockhead]

@xXpsychopathicXx420 ok i'll send you a message

[michaelbroek1]

good driver

[traxxasrockhead]

@michaelbroek1 thanks man

[mnunezve]

Great Video!!!! use mamba brushless?

[traxxasrockhead]

thanks and yeah i use mamba

[DragstersDragons]

so am guessing that bow ties (40 )series work at wolcott righT?

[traxxasrockhead]

i have never driven on the wolcott track but i find that Bow ties do hook up on a lot of surfaces

[DragstersDragons]

hmm what body is that?

[traxxasrockhead]

it's a Proline crowd pleazer for the e/t-maxx

[DragstersDragons]

what chassis are you running?

[traxxasrockhead]

it's the stock chassis

[DragstersDragons]

really? that looks sick

[traxxasrockhead]

thanks ^_^

[mindthoughts1974]

very good video, and great driving. I notice this truck has a short wheelbase, from front wheel to rear wheels, which seem to make it want to flip forward or backward in the air, and easily wheelie if you accelerate too quickly, you drive quite well considering the massive power plant you have under the hood. I run this same motor and esc in my e-revo and it has a very long wheel base, and still wheelies at fifty miles per hour. it's just crazzy. I made a video you can check out if you want to.

[traxxasgeek]

what gering do you use???

nice wid btv :)

[traxxasrockhead]

19/66

and thanks ^_^

[KTMBOY1112]

Cool Vid

I can't keep mine running for shit and that pisses me off.

[traxxasrockhead]

thanks man ^_^

[traxxasgeek]

okey thanks ^.^

[Kingbiker96]

What rims are those???? i need 2 know!!!!!

[traxxasrockhead]

Proline Velocity 6, 40series

[tomnuz]

I have actually the Mamba Monster 2200kV combo, but in a buggy ;) ( inferno VE ). Torque is insane compared to stock ORION combo. More over the run time is better with the mamba, thx to high efficiency ;) 10/10 combo !

[traxxasrockhead]

ohh shoot!! i accidentally deleted your other comment :( sorry

yes i have broken this quite a few time but the breakage went down once i knew how to drive it

the name of the song it Rocket by Kevin MacLeod

[tomnuz]

@traxxasrockhead no problem ^^, thx for the song, i heard it a lot of time since yesterday on this webpage, now I can download the mp3 file ;)

[traxxasrockhead]

no problem :)

[Kingbiker96]

2x 3s lipos are around 80 dollars cheap(go with turingy lipos or venom.)

Then you need a lipo charger($50-$150)

plus a power source for the charger($50-$100)

AND LOTS OF TIRES!!!!!!!!

[traxxasrockhead]

thanks man,

[traxxasrockhead]

1. you'll spend about $300 plus for 2 3s LiPos ( whitch is what you need to go fast)

2. it comes with the Mamba Monster 2200kv combo

3.the brushless E-REVO is not waterproof

4. it's ok that your new ^_^

[traxxasrockhead]

yeah a 4WD Slash, HPI Flux or a Traxxas E-REVO brushless edition

[migselv16896]

buy an e-maxx

[rccarfreak0011]

My fan initially spins when i turn the truck on, but it then turns off....is that normal?

[traxxasrockhead]

yes this is normal, the fan only comes on when the ESC reaches 120F

[rccarfreak0011]

Thanks man, you are a life saver

[traxxasrockhead]

no problem

[Thefunnystuffmen]

@traxxasrockhead uhmmm i have a brushless mamba monster motor and it is waterproof well... water resistant

[traxxasrockhead]

yes the motor is waterproof but the ESC is not

[logantic]

this is an awesome video, this is the reason why i bought the mamba monster, great video and nice driving my man.

[traxxasrockhead]

thanks a lot man :D

[Kingbiker96]
