tmaxx friction pegs???

[racin_38]

good evening,
on my maxx ,there is only 6 pegs installed,i was wondering since i have to tear it apart to replace them anyway,should i install all 12 or just 6?
i am running a 22t bell with 72t steel spur ,,

also is there another clutch i can use other then the high-stall??

like 1 with independant springs instead of 1 spring ?
or do you not recomend switching from the highstal that the maxx uses ?

thanx rick

how hard does your tmaxx take off if it takes off pretty good i would put the same number of pegs in if it aint taking off as fast as you want it to then add about 2 or 3 pegs and then see how you like it.

well they are shot now,,and it doesn't launch very well but then i need to tune it alittle better too ,,i want it to do wheelie and such and just plain hook up,just curious if 12 was beter then the 6 standard

 

[offroader]

all 12 in will prob. make it do wheelies not sure (depends on weight and size of truck).

6 pegs stock with 72T. When I changed to the 70T, I went with 12

I always ran 12 in mine before I replaced it with the rrp double slipper set up.

If you are gonna stay with the stock engine, upgrade to an MIP clutch. They hook up so much better than the stock clutch. Well worth it.

do the MIP clutch or the integy aluminum 3 shoe setup.....if you use the MiP go w/ the vented flywheel....and change the Clutchbell to RRP as well....Definately get the RRP slipper disc....and if you havent yet get a FOC kit....that will help you pull wheelies more than anything else.....then get all the goodies you want for your maxx....I recommend staying away from aluminum arms, Towers & knuckles...get RPM stuff (cheaper and more forgiving in crashes).....the 40s will change the handling drasticallly but if you put bowties and go tot the track you should drop your gear ratio just a touch....just change your CB about 2 to 4 teeth less than you are currently running...
and as a final tip if you have play in your diffs learn how to shim them properly.....I run the stock diff gears in my T-maxx and I get way more use out of mine than guys buying the RRP sets and don't shim them right......

 

[racin_38]

you mean keep the 72t spur,which is a good thing cause it is steel, but drop to a 20t or a 18t will help bottom end????
see i am used to regearing 2-speeds for on-road, but this is totally new ballgame for me wit hthe spur then the 2 speed,,
thanx for the help ..

Well keep that gear ratio or if you go to a better engine (you will) get a 70t but RRP makes a spur gear det that has 2 discs as the friction point instead of pegs....the discs let you set the slip of the spur gear a lot better than the pegs and it's much stronger.....plus the outer gear is replaceable....there are 2 sizes the kit comes in one just holds from 70t down and the other is 70t and up.......
