Just out of curiosity. Did you used to have a maxx with a trx on it with remote start? There was a guy that showed up at Hobby Town earlier this year with a remote start on his maxx. You wouldnt hapeen to be the same person would ya? If so I've seen it work and I can verify that it works very well.:D

Sorry no, But I have seen another as well, the one I seen uses a butchered easy start and a standard size battery. Is that what you seen?
 
The one I saw was a bit different. The guy had it setup so when applied the brake fully it started the maxx. He had an extra onboard battery pack that he used to heat the glow plug. When he applied the brake completely a piece of metal attached to the servo horn came in contact with another piece of metal completing a connection. It was quite impressive. He did run the motor a bit rich. But he never had to run to get it when the trx stalled out.

KICK ASS!

Where does it get the power for the glo-plug?

from the little black box;)

I live 40 miles south of boston.
My design uses specialized cells that are small and very powerful
It would take a newbie about 10 minutes to install. No guess work, it all comes as one unit, plug and play;) You don't have to butcher any easy start parts. The Dimensions are 3 x 2x 1 total!
Fits right in the palm of your hands.

Dang sounds much better than the one I saw:D

I'm north of Boston
 
hey i have some thing like that but mine isnt exactly like that but same concept, mine is on a different frequency with a different remote, well i made the transmitter it to where its like a garage door opener well the size of one so all you do it push the button and let go. and the electronics on the truck arent exactly covered up yet I'm looking for some thing to put them in like you did. it weighs about the same but it has a nine volt on it. still need to figure out a better power source. but for now it works great.

good luck with yours.

Using a 9 volt battery is not a good idea, the easy start motor is rated @ 7.2v. Find a better power source fast . Also, if you bring it to a track, you might want to make sure you don't transmitt any interferance. If you any video of it, I would love to see it, sounds very creative:D .
 
Maxximillion is the EZ-start motor a 400 or 480 can???

Honestly Hunter I don't know all I did with the motor was check the current to make sure everything recieves proper volts and milli-amps. I don't know much about electric motors. I do however know a great deal about electronics, so I concentrated on that aspect.:D

Ok well thanks:) Ill have to do some checking. I asked because I've gotten into rc e-planes and I'm doing alot of reading about e-motors and some of the guys are putting up to 30 sud-c ( and full C )batteries in which = 36 volts ( I think thats right) through a single 400 size motor, it seems kind of high but I'm still new to this side of the game and guess there is a heck of a lot more reading for me to do.

Jusy remember this, volts mean nothing unless you have the Milli amps to push
 
So the amps tell us how fast the volts are moving??? Or do the amps = the torque output of the volts???

Think of it like this
Volts = horsepower
Amps=tourque

Ok that works:)

But what about watts how do they fit in to it all??? And dont tell me that what comes out of the back end of the Horse.

Watts is Amps x volts
:cool:
 
As I said before Matt, I still have to figure that out. I am only one person and are building this stuff by hand. With in the next couple weeks I will have solid prices and availability. Just be patient.:cool:
 
i must have missed when you posted maxximillion, anyways yeah i know about the voltage on the motor so I've regulated the voltage, current, and aps going to the motor so i dont have any thing to worry about and the frequency well i have plenty of crystals for that and usually once i get the truck started it stays on.
