Hey there.. I am new to this forum. RC Jack recommended me to check out his thread on the nitro forum and I say its sweet.
I thought I would share my E-Maxx with this community.
You might not believe it but this one is really more of a basher!
Yah it has its bling but its a basher dang it!! :argue: :boxing:
Here is the new dawn of a New E-Maxx separate from my Stock one. Yes I do have a basher Stocker as well.
A slew of Parts arrived!
Supermaxx and GorillaMaxx parts and those GA 7075 Bulks.
I still have a bunch of parts I didn't photo. I don't know how some of you do it, but I can't wait to rip into em and its hard for me to just grab the camera to take a pic sometimes before I rip into the packages.
Very Shiny.. I really like these arms.
That E-maxx tranny is all aluminum.. No plastic at all.. Even the shifter..Just like my Juggernaut project!
Someone just had to mention I had too much plastic in my tranny!! LOL Look what they made me do!
I will be using Mod one Custom Spur gears and Custom Pinions made out of Hardened Steel to replace those 32 pitch gears.
I will be looking at more parts from UE, Gorillamaxx, Integy, HardCore, MIP, Plettenberg, Schulze, and others.
I must say tho, I was such a Jugg2/TXT-1/Clod fan but after getting an stock E-Maxx and then upgrading it, I really like the E-Maxx.
I am still more of a Juggy/TXT-1/Clod fan but my liking for the E-Maxx has grown.
Well here is a mock up before some of the driveline parts arrived.
At this config, it only weighed around 5 lbs 4 oz. Not too shabby!
Here is the assembly right now, tho I do have the body mounted and drilled.
As you can see at this config without batteries, one 8mm Steel CVD, body posts, wheels/tires, spur, and pinion gear, it still only weighs 7 lbs 0.5 oz which isn't too bad. A stock E-Maxx weighs around 10.8 lbs. Gotta see if I can keep this truck lower than stock with all aluminum.
Here is the Extended F-350 Body I am going to use. I really like this body.
I am little sad that I had to cut into this body to accomodate the motor and the front/rear bumper mounts. Oh well.. I gotta learn to cut lexan better. (I'll post pics of the cut body later)
I was gonna go all silver but why not try for a purple Super G-Maxx. Might as well.. I think it looks sweet.. What do you think?? I hope to get this up and running soon.
Gotta go get me some 40 series Mashers and Bow Ties. Too bad the Proline 40 series wheels are so ugly.. Mambo and Velocity 6.. bah humbug!!!
Here is the body.
I did some minor cuts to the body to accomodate the motor.
I really like this F-350 Extended body. I added a motor cover and a wing out of thicker lexan sheets.
You're probably wondering, why the heck doesn't he have any wheels and tires after all that? Its a story for another day. LOL
Anyhow, Yes they are on their way but I will have to settle with Proline 40 series Velocity 6 with 40 series Mashers until I get my Custom wheels. I did get an extra set of 40 series bowties just incase the mashers don't hold up and perform too well. I can't wait till I get some custom 40 series beadlocks and yes I will emphasize less weight on these compared to my Jugg2 and TXT-1 beadlocks.
The JuggMaxx/JumboMaxx custom beadlock wheels with tires on that I have are about 1 lbs 9 oz and the TXT-1 Custom Beadlocks with Tires on my TXT-1 are about 1 lbs 6.8 ozs, which aren't too bad considering I didn't care too much about weight and those are more traditional straight axle looking Monster Trucks anyhow.
I will duct tape the insides of the tires to help it from ballooning up. It might help but not sure if it will cure it.
Yeah I ended up throwing away a set of tires.. I am almost going to with my second as well. LOL
Finally some pics with wheels on. Only thing missing is now the Spur and pinion to run it. I could just slap on the strobe and use the Ofna for now but I guess I will have to think about it before I buy another set just to test my E-Maxx. (The First set was sent out to get it modified to have custom single piece spur gears)
By the way I am waiting on my custom 3D beadlock wheels so we will see!
This E-Maxx is costly but it doens't compare to my Juggy tho hehe..
Anyhow here are some new pics I took today..
I might have to lower the ride slightly.
I am still waiting on my Skid plate and wheelie bar.
I made another run and dang in 5 mins I stripped all 4 hexes on my Velocity 6 40 series wheels, unglued all 4 tires, and put a bunch of bumps all over my suspension arms due to spinning out on a small pebble road. I also damaged my batteries and I have to take apart and resolder and re-shrink wrap some cells.
Even with the 65T spur and 24T pinion, its still a monster and very violent especially on the launches if you don't watch the throttle. The pinion never stays on so I will be happy whenever I get my Module 1 thick pinions made.
Oh yeah, I also detached my rear wing, but one good note is that the new G3 Upper Beefier A-Arms held up in a few crashes. I will still have to see how it does on my next run after I fix a bunch of small things.
I really gotta get a ramp and jump this and see it fly. I am assuming I can probably do 30-35 mph+ on first gear and in the mid and high 40s in 2nd gear. That is just a guess but it is really quick in either gear. I need a radar gun or GPS to get some real actual MPH but I must say its fast regardless.
Cleaned up the Super G-Maxx, replaced the Wheelie bar, replaced stock with purple HardCore body cross braces, and etc.
I need to go create a custom wheelie bar because I don't think this one will hold without a brace on the bumper. It fell apart a few times due to the power of the P-BMaxximum.

I had to throw away my Velocity 6 wheels and the Mashers because they were too damaged on the hex and the tires were just gone and too stuck to the wheel. :smackbutt: (I like this smiley!) haha
Anyhow here are some final pics of the Super G-Maxx..
I just massively messed up the body and the rear bumper and wheelie bar. These pics are just before I did all the damage lol.. All fixed now until the next run.
I hope to get some more vids soon, but next vids will have a ramp and some jumps.
Here is a vid of my first test run that was done a long while back.
Here is 1 video clip split into 4.
My Stock E-Maxx and my Super G-Maxx is running in the videos. In the clips there is a good amount of footage of the Stock E-Maxx as well.
Enjoy!
