The Traxosi Ten-TMaxx Project - A Losi powered T-Maxx

[10 Gauge]

This is a project my best friend is working on. He was so impressed by how well the 3.4 in my Ten-T runs that he decided to swap out his TRX 3.3 for one.

This is not 100% complete, the final plans include the addition of ROSS remote start, but he couldn't wait to give it a try so we just rocked it with the regular EZ-Start for it's first run.

Here's what we have now:
-Traxxas T-Maxx (3.3 size)
-Losi 3.4 Motor
-Traxxas EZ-Start motor custom fitted to Losi 3.4
-Homemade exhaust header built from copper pipe fittings and brazed together

Still planned (for remote start):
-Losi ROSS control unit
-LiPo conversion
-TRX TQ 2.4ghz extra channel transmitter mod

Well the video would be nice to see ? ? ? But, the install looks really clean. I am not a fan of any electric start systems. I must be getting old love my pull starts. Less weight.

I think you'll wear a trench in the asphalt with those 'shiny side slides'. Great power.

i would like to see some pics of the custom built header!
does the losi engine have a small block footprint ot bid block?

Is that red that is all over the truck just the color of dirt that it is most run in? It almost looks like it's covered in rust, but rust wouldn't form on plastics.

Looks like southern red clay, to me.

Nice setup, it sounds hungry for a 3rd gear

Am I the only one that can't get the vid?

Edit= I need to learn how to scroll sideways I guess.

Sweet vid

Vid is there at the bottom of the first post, but we have a new vid now. See the bottom of this post for the new vid, the motor now has a peak power tune on it.

No doubt! Check out the new vid, real balls!

I will try and grab some better pix of the header this weekend or next weekend depending on when we go out to the bashing pit for you. The Losi 3.4 is a smallblock footprint. Takes some case grinding to get it to fit on the T-Maxx engine mounts. The EZ-Start also has to be heavily ground to fit inside of the rear of the motor and not have any collisions.

Yup, that's just dirt.

You are the winner! Good ol' VA red clay.

It would be bloody friggin' fast with a 3rd gear!

Thanks, now check out the new one, hope you enjoy!

Thats tight! I can almost hear the rear diff yelling at you to stop!

 

[duramax47]

Thats awsome nice work guys.

I bet your glad you installed the wheelie bar!

 

[10 Gauge]

The wheelie bar ended up being a necessity, and it's much more fun on road now with the wheelie bar.

@dub c: It won't be long before the rear is toast. hahaha
