Slash heads up .

[mtaylortank]

yeah I had 23/90 and used 3s on my C.C. setup and all it was missing was wings!!! even though it was about lifting off anyways.. I can't wait to get my esc. replaced so I can use the 3s again!!!!

 

[Jacknifejuv]

have you sent it off ? isnt this the second time its gone wat you got running the slash atm then ? yerp just waiting for some poop to sell on ebay and then il be ordering a nice big fat juicy 3 cell lol

 

[mtaylortank]

no I keap forgetting the friggen thing.. I have the old sidewinder esc. in it right now.. still fast but after you try the new system the older one is def. slower. thats another thing I have to do is see if I can sell the three sets of receiver/transmiter sets on e-bay they are only the 27 mhz but still in real good condition only used acouple times... and a old black foot I was gonna redo it but I have way to many projects at the moment... I have a classic t-maxx getting built, I have to rebuild a tower terror( I bought real cheap and stripped it down and now need to rebuild it.), rebuild my jato tranny, A losi high roller I want to convert to either traxxas 16.v esc. and either the 12t motor or the titan 550 or just brushless.. and my 3.3 maxx I am rebuilding as soon as I get the new chassis and the rest of the peices for the picco.. I still have a 3.3 maxx that is stock with a slash top and some muddin tires..

 

[Jacknifejuv]

ok so thats another set of driveshafts gone , looks like I'm going to have to look into a mip set , thats even if they do them for the slash or i can get them in the uk.

 

[CptAwesome]

That was fast....

eBay is also a good place to look. The have MIP stuff for slightly cheaper than straight from MIP

jeese you must beat yours alittle harder than I beet mine up l.o.l. I was going to go out for a run after work tonight but it is too dark out I have to resolder my 3s lipos cause the first time I solderd it didnt hold so I need a new solderin iron cause mine sux!!! I want them ready for when I get my replacement sv2 esc. back.. then I will end up breaking more stuff although I keap blowing tires off the rims and the foams. I think I am going to invest in some beadlocks for the slash.. it might save me a few bucks.. so I can just get tires instead of the tires and rims sets..

 

[Jacknifejuv]

i even have the slipper backed right off , seems that i couldnt get hold of any more driveshafts over the weekend , i managed well i say managed i mean struggled to mod some spare t maxx driveshafts kicking about and slammed them in , (just) lol they work surprising good tbh . and yes matt id say i beat mine alot harder than the maxx your need to get yourself some lights then night time bashing is awesome , abit scary at times lol

 

[mtaylortank]

yeah I had a light setup on my e-maxx if you look at my albums you willl see it that was sick but I I am trying to sell that and buy that summit thats bein sold on the forum so I am trying not to use it so I dont break it l.o.l my big block is almost ready for break in!!!!!!! I just installed my rdlogics chassis on my classic t-maxx and wow the difference that chassis is half the weight and the origional is almost an inch wider accross than the new one.. lost some wieght that time around soon that one will be where I want it.. It has an escalade top on it for right now till I can paint my dodge top for it. and yeah I want to get the rpm front bumbers and ad the real kc lights on it and I want a roll bar kc setup aswell they look mean with both of them.. I am going to get a new top so I can paint it the way I want to probly black and silver or blue and black mix for designs.. we'll see. glad to hear u found away to bash without gettin new driveshafts!!!

 

[Jacknifejuv]

ok so completely trashed the front end today doing way too high jumps with stock suspension and knew i couldnt get any replacements till monday so come up with this pretty good handles justaswell and makes it about 35mm wider in total .

 

[Jacknifejuv]

lost my battery strap somewhere so made this conundrum up lol

 

[mtaylortank]

hey it holds it in there right??? I just got my axial scx10 scale crawler yesterday, I will be trying to post pictures of that and the new and improved maxx... I am going to be trying to get a set of beedlocks for the slash so I dont have to worry about regluing them everyother week or so.. I just put a lift kit in my axial and put a bigger set of tires on that..(although I want the other lift kit setup cause I orderd the wrong style lift) I need to find another set of beedlocks and I want to get a set of mudslinger tires and another style havent made my mind up about the other style i want.. Hey atleast you are having fun with your rig!!!! brushless is a whole new animal hugh???

 

[Jacknifejuv]

i dont think "animal" comes close to brushless lol i think i might even get the 8 or 9t motor as i think this 5.5 is way too much for it , its just trashing everything lol i can't even use it now coz its ripped my tyres off the rims and disintergrated the foams tried superglue doesn't last 2 mins lol , so more wheels and tyres are on the way lol this will be my 3rd set since going brushless lol were are these pics ??????????? I'm calling bulls*** on your ass lol you tried photobucket ??? thats what I'm using its pretty good , i keep looking at crawlers but just dont think i would enjoy em just as much .

 

[mtaylortank]

I can't get the pics on the forum for some reaon so look at this site I have some new pics up in here

https://www.dropbox.com/home#/Public:::

Look in the folder labeled tmaxx's well take a look at them all maybe you will want to buy something.. l.o.l.. it might cost acouple more bucks to get anything to you but can work something out....
And yeah you should upgrade the tranny gears, cv shafts and spur gear then the driveline should be all good then.. I am surprised how quick you are going through shafts though. are you driving alot on pavement??? cause being so much torque to the ground when spinning around twist the shafts reall good...

Scale crawlers are pretty awsome there should be a couple pics of the scaler in the crawling photo's its a bronco for now but after I get the expieimental stage done I am thinking either big old or new dodge ram, or maybe a 80's chevy p-up, or blazer, or suburban top.... but I also kinda like the yota look or nissan if I could find one...
Hey and now you know how it is to blow off your tires... l.o.l. sorry that wasn't funny but now you know what it looks like..

 

[Jacknifejuv]

ANOTHER Driveshaft !!!!!!!!!!! this time it snapped right off at the axle and sent my bearings flying somewere , and completely bored out the axle carrier can push a bearing through one side and out the other ,

naa not so much now , was on pavement for a bit till my tyres dissapeared so now just on grass and off road lol , any suggestions lol

 

[mtaylortank]

honestly I would get the metal carriers and rpm a-arms and metal cvd's probly the only way that is goona last for you... I am surprised at how much you are breaking on that thing!!!! dont want to jinxe myself but besides blowing tires off mine is running pretty true.. Oh my esc. should be to me by tomorrow!!!! I finally get to use my sv2 sidewinder esc. instead of the older one I have been running.. I will be able to use the 3s again I beleive!!! And I will have a couple maxx pics up today.

 

[mtaylortank]

here is the 3 maxx's from left to right it is the classic with a 3.3, escalade top------3.3 maxx with the picco .26maxx midblock (not quite a bigblock I guess)------ and 3.3 maxx stock with tires and a slash top.

the single maxx is the picco max with the role cage on it ( I want to paint that blue aswell)

And my scaler with stock tires on it for the moment, because I am waitin for the new cvd's to come in so I am using the bigger tires on the redcat crawler cause I think the 1.9 tires are almost usless for how I drive them!!! I will post pics later with the new mudslinger tires installed!!!

 

[Jacknifejuv]

wicked!! I'm lovin that picco bet it rips huh ?? you got quite a collection now havent ya lol ican only afford to keep one rig going lol let alone how many you got lol , my 2 fans motor fan mount and my overlander 5000mah 3 cell 40c sport lipo turned up yesterday . and I've just fallen in love with brushless all over again , , man that thing is frickin rediculus , i havent even been able to go full throttle yet and a good 12ft roosters , I'm now working on some custom 17mm hex axles so i can get some better rims and tyres , was pretty funny watchin my wheel go rolling down the road at 40+ lol now for the top speed run to see how fast she goes lol , temps were fine on the motor , just the esc cutt out a few times when it got hot so i can't remember which way to gear it to get the temps down , and yer i think i need some big upgrades if i wanna stay running threes

 

[mtaylortank]

yeah I can't remember which way to go cause I have to do the same thing to run 3's but that is why I havent ran them in a while...

The summit I bought off lesson is sick!!!! I dont htink I will look at an e-maxx the same again after owning this beast!!! I had that thing going up the rocks that I had my crawler on!!! (the pics I have in my profile with the chevy top..)

let me know how the hex's go for you.. and if you hear what way you should gear it for temps than def. keap me in mind cause I have gotta do something cause If I wanna run 3s I have to run with the top off and sometimes that doesn't even work that long..

 

[Jacknifejuv]

did you buy the 1/10 or the mini they look mean , and the mini ones rip by the looks of the ones on utube. gear higher for the esc to run cooler ie bigger pinion or smaller spur , but now all I've got to do is spline my wires to run both fans, at least then i wont have to worry about either , had to slam the rear end to get some more traction and controll lol

and wen the wheel went flying , lost my axle somewere so modded a t maxx axle , bored out the carrier slapped some bigger bearings in and fitted it in , very tight fit ,,, but works lol

got a pretty cool motor fan mount aswell just have to fit it shes nice and dirty tho

---------- Post added at 7:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 7:22 PM ----------

will try and get a decent vid sometime over the weekend , and a top speed run to see how mental it is lol .

 

[mtaylortank]

its the 1/10 version with the diff locker switch and it's brushed for right now.. its the crawler/basher one... I like the look of the little ones too but I like the versitility (going anywhere) I had to slammed my ass end to the ground on my slash too.. it keaps it from flipping over and yeah better traction.. I set my body mount on the rear to the highest setting because it keaps the rear tires from taking the paint off the inside of the fender well.. I will have to take a pic of my motor fan I got.. yes its from integy but it is pretty cool and I can put a different brand fan on it...
