| Re: Diesel's cookie-cutter plastic truck
spent a few hours in the garage today. swapped out the stock lower links for some traxxas and rocksmith links and installed maxx shafts. this happened the first time out with this rig. those rod ends just dont hold up. i'm using traxxas #5319 for the rear links. i added a slight bend to them. just cut the skid a little, add a washer and they fit. the washer isn't necessary but slop like that drives me crazy. WB ended up at 13 5/8". I don't remember what it was stock. rocksmith Ti on the front. i had these laying around, just happened to be the same length. or close enough to it. trimmed the trans case and gear cover to fit the maxx shafts. the rear was a direct bolt on, the front needed all the work. i also swapped to 48p gears. these maxx shafts are a few years old now, i used to use them on TLT comp rigs. the stock bumper is shot...

Do you have any good pics of what you did to the front of the tranny to fit the max shafts? Been wanting to do it when I run out of stock shafts. sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk 2.0 |

| Re: Diesel's cookie-cutter plastic truck Next one is going to be at 3 peaks in Cedar City. I think everyone pretty much decided 3 peaks is a cooler venue than STG. I like red rock, and STG comps are a blast, but I gotta admit, 3 peaks was a SICK location! |

i agree, 3 peaks is awesome, that was the first place i ever crawled a 1:1 rig. area 51 at StG is cool, just harder to access. i'll check the utah section and try to make it to 3 peaks. | ||

Looks really good man. Are you going to keep it white? I think it stands out weell with the black plastic. But if you do have another paint scheme or a Wrap what are your plans? |

| Planning on some aluminum panels, probably painted red. Gonna do a roof too. I've got the .025" aluminum here, I might try making them myself.

HOw's your runtime with those batteries? I get about 30-40 minutes with my 1300 3s Turnigys,but only 10-15 minutes if the crawling is really steep and/or lots of bound up positions. :( But I don't want my batteries too heavy and making me top heavy.

good eye, i do need some kinda shim, don't have anything here at home but i'll raid the hardware bins at work tomorrow. the 2200s last a long time, apparently the mamba max and tekin handwound 35t are pretty efficient. i'm getting an hour and 15min or so. | |

Thanks, what's your gearing? I tried to count gear teeth from your pic, but hard to see. My gearing at 14/54 is fun but changed to 13/54 for better crawling and bought 12 tooth pinion in case that's not low enough. I'm sure your gearing helps run-time. I'm running Turnigy 1300 3s1p 20C packs from my Honcho and debating on 2200 or 3300 and soft vs hardcase. I carry my batteries, tools and parts in my Camelbak when out crawling (along with 3 liters of water).

14/54 32p barely clears my mips. Just picked up a wraith mip hub (its a lil longer than standard mip hubs) for the spur side output to try a 60t spur. I'm thinkin the maxx shafts are bigger than mips. Last edited by Meatwad; 07-08-2012 at 05:08 PM. | |
