Quick Update on the E-Maxx

Well, ive sort of gotten lazy with the r/c stuff, but i have new plans for the e-maxx after consulting on the forums. Ive planned for a single 970 now with 25t steel pinion that way it should keep the cooling down and make the maxx more efficient. Oh yea, and im also having trouble with the frequency...

Mods:
R/c Raven Green Anodized aluminum skids, bumpers, chassis brace, servo guard, and transmission cover.
Team Blue Star aluminum adjustable shocks.
RD Logics aluminum body posts
FLM aluminum rear bulkhead
Traxxas #2070 Digital Servo
Novak Super Duty XR ESC
Kershaw Designs Dual 970 motor conversion
Batteries:
2x Team Orion 3300 MaH Rocket Pack
2x Pro Peak 3000 MaH
All Deans Connectors

Why do you have the cooling vent holes covered on the motors?????? You want an overall cooler running system right?

[rcdevil2]

@villain1963 What is covering the holes is a mesh material. It doesn't affect cooling at all, but I needed to put it there because the vent holes are HUGE and so pebbles could easily get into the assembly.

Hey I want those for my new e maxx how much I will expend

[rcdevil2]

@777VAZ The shocks or motor setup? Shocks cost roughly $60 on ebay (search "maxx threaded aluminum" and click on the ones with yellow springs)and the motors are discontinued so yea lol

[THE24RCMANIAC]

are those shocks any good? i am looking to buy some on ebay

[rcdevil2]

@THE24RCMANIAC yup pretty good, but these are some problems:

You have to refill them with your own oil, because idk what wt. oil they put in it.

They don't offer rebuild kits, so if your shocks go, you have to buy shocks in pairs of two for replacement.

Other than that they seem pretty nice and strong, but just ask around on the traxxas forum for people's opinions on them in order to get a better perspective of their quality and the different options available.

@rcdevil2 i had a pebble fall into a cooling hole on my titan 775

needless to say after running it on 4s i almost melted my chasis =)

[villain1963]
