Project Race-Maxx is almost complete

[destrucktomaxx]

So with a little persistence and A LOT of ingenuity, project Race-Maxx is almost finished..er....ready (it'll never be finished). Mind you, it needs polish, but for a 75 dollar truck, it'll be hard to beat on track.

I've ordered Ofna rear buggy shocks for each corner and Axial .28RR, Stole my E-Revo's diff's and shoved them in it, relocated my throttle servo to inline of the carb, mounted a 75cc Losi XXXN-T fuel tank inline of the chassis, and threw on the Talons to make it a roller. Here's some pics.

I also bought a new 3.3 tranny, complete, off Craigslist for 35 bucks, and will fill it with Robinson gears, like the diff's have already. I'll also be cannibalizing the servos from the E-Revo for it as well, seeing as how I also ordered the Kershaw servo. The rest of the truck will have the standard upgrades, I.E: RPM upper arms, Fast Lane lower alum. arms, RPM knuckles, center diff, etc.

Will keep updating as time goes on.

I ordered one of those Kershaws as well. I'm hoping its as good as it sounds. Truck is looking great!

Looks good so far to me. Keep us updated :thumbup:

You will kill that carb slider with the throttle linkage at that angle. Turn the carb to where the slider is lined up with the linkage.

And I'll warn you now...That axial .28rr will take that tmaxx tranny to the wood shed. If you can cancel the order on that engine and get a .21 or .18 sized engine and you will not have to buy a hole new tranny in the end.

Looks pretty good though

With Robinson gears? Doubt it. The old black tranny can handle a picco. Why would his beefed tranny have any problems. That thing called a slipper clutch comes in handy if ya know how to use it. That thing does look cool, besides the wires running all over. But I see there isn't much you can do about it. As long as they don't get snagged on something, who cares! Body will fix 'em right up!

 

[destrucktomaxx]

I got the wires hung as best as possible with body clips around the trans case screws. Besides that, there's gonna be a new gray cased 3.3 trans in the truck, with Robinson gears. Trust me Sam, it pulls straight.

 

[Metalhead Matt]

The wires don't look like there in any danger. I wouldn't heed samrsnow's advice. That new tranny won't have a problem with the R.R. gears and a properly adjusted slipper. Know what skins you want to run yet?

 

[destrucktomaxx]

Losi ZombieMaxx's. I was told that there is such a thing as too much traction and that..I am fine with, LMAO.

I agree . I have an OS .30 in my cyber and the tranny ( Robinson gears and FOC ) handles it no problems .

 

[destrucktomaxx]

I wish I could find a set of Proline Powerstrokes. Or some decent progressive rate springs..that would be nice too.

EDIT: This is what happens when you get bored when sick...insanity takes over...

Yes those are E-Revo shocks, and YES it IS that low. New designation...Code name, Project RaceBomb.

if you want to race,,, you have to get a bigger fuel tank. 75cc will not cut it in a main. IMO you need a 125cc-150cc fuel tank.

 

[Metalhead Matt]

A bigger tank looks like it will squeeze in there, too. That's a pretty cool project. Some times a little insanity is fun, especially when your stuck in the house sick. Keep it coming.

OK man well i didn't see him say anything about RR gears.

 

[destrucktomaxx]

The only way a bigger tank is fitting in that spot is if its the same dimensions width wise, only taller. I'll be running twin Mugen long fuel filters, those things are MASSIVE! Perhaps..if the tank had some "original tank style" stand-offs, it might be different, but I have yet to come across a tank to my liking that had that style of stand-offs.

Not so sure I like the Revo shocks on it though. It was just a kooky idea I ran with, but its waay too stiff. Even with my lightest spring (which isn't long enough to allow proper suspension action, in this application at least) it bounces on the drop test hardcore. I'm glad to be getting the buggy shocks, because anything else would be pointless IMO.

Your supposed to read the post before you answer it. Should have filled ya in sooner I guess.
