| Re: Maxstone 10 budget build
I would be worried about how much of that body you have to chop up to avoid too much wheel rub with 2.2's. It looks much better than the stock body, of course that doesn't take much to get better than the stocker. On my MaxStone10 I took the 17mm Hexes and 6.3" diameter tires off my 1/8 Mad Torque and slapped them on my Max Stone 10 and it crawls at least 100% better with just the big tire change and wider stance. With the long wheelbase of the MS10, the big 6.3's keep it from high centering as much and it has greatly expanded the obstacles I can climb over now. I still need to get a handle on the torque twist and get the CoG lower.

Swapped Knuckles and axle shafts between my Max Stone 10 and my Mad Torque because I needed 12mm Hexes on my mad torque for a scale build I was doing. All the parts bolted right up together. Width with the setup is about 1" wider than stock. Last edited by DeoreDX; 03-13-2014 at 09:33 PM. | |

So no issues fitting Axial shafts into the max stone? The stock shafts have a short side and long side. About 1/4" (6mm) difference. The Axial shafts are both the same length. I snapped an axle and stripped the locker. If I get the axial locker diff case locker and dogbones I can just bolt everything right up? Last edited by DeoreDX; 03-16-2014 at 07:02 AM. |

So all that is needed is the drivecups and steel lockers? and its a decent crawler? I plan to keep it stock for a while - them cups n lockers taking off bumpers n standoffs for em and mod or compleatly take out wheel foams lower cg best I can, mess with shocks for torque roll. Does it handle 3s stock? if I find the motor is too weak, I may go buy a little $15 axial 540 can my crawling areas will be bricks mud weeds road... Edit: I was also wondering if the axles could go together with eachother, to have 2 axels coming out to say make a 6x6 or something. Last edited by Higgins909; 06-30-2014 at 06:19 PM. |

The motor is NOT weak. It is very powerful, just very slow. It's also very accurate at low speeds. I can't do the low speeds stuff near as well with my Wraith and it's 20T motor. I am thinking of trying a 35T in my maxstone.

You guys must be lucky cause my neighbor bought a 1/10 maxstone and the entire thing fell apart in one week. My scx10 dominated it everywhere and every way. But his did not have upgrades, it was all stock. I have to say, that thing was exceed crap...no offense to anyone.

| Re: Maxstone 10 budget build Yeah I like to bash on exceed, you're right about that. I just don't see the point in wasting money on these. Look at all of you guys, putting axial parts in it just to make it work!? Why not just buy an axial..

| I wouldn't pay that much for all the cheap plastic parts axial comes with. I could make a better crawler for less out of an exceed base.
