1:6 Maxx Based H1
 

Lets see if i can stick with this one guys, its been a couple years since ive built anything lol.

Started with a $3 score on the hummer, and $50 for an old .15 t-maxx.
Add some aluminum, sanding and primer and this is what ive got so far.

The chassis is not done, need to order some parts for the rear.

I'm going to watch this build, I have a bunch of T-maxx parts that I received from a friend as a basket case, and I need some ideas. I look forward to seeing how you build it.

This is my 3rd or 4th maxx based 6th scale, sadly i deleted all my pics when i got out of the hobby almost 2 years ago.
I do have this video slideshow of my last emaxx based H2.

looks bad ass! wait, did you say 3 bucks for the hummer? :shock:

Re: 1:6 Maxx Based H1
 

Yes 3 bucks lol. Goodwill and yardsales are awesome, I bought a 1:6 jesse james silverado for 3 bucks a few years ago. The 1:6 H2 above was 5 bucks.

Welcome back... you never really leave, just take longer breaks :)

Re: 1:6 Maxx Based H1
 

This is true lol, this last break was about a year and a half. Ive never made it anywhere near that long on my previous breaks lmao.

Re: 1:6 Maxx Based H1
 

Chassis pretty much finished up, need to figure out a trans to run and whatnot.

Well that escalated quickly lol.
Tire size actually works quite well, got some work to do to make the 2.2s play nice on the maxx though.

I like!!

Re: 1:6 Maxx Based H1
 

Decided to go with 2.2/3.0 sc wheels to clear the maxx knuckles.
Went with these as the hex design looked really easy to modify as well, since the maxx pins are a bit larger than 10th scale pins.

Trimmed the tire and glued right to the inside edge of the wheel instead of in the bead, gave the tire a bit wider look to it which i like better.

What's with the funky hex on the inside of that wheel?? Just a strange design

Re: 1:6 Maxx Based H1
 

Thats how the hex is shaped, one of the reasons i went with these as the hex was included with the wheels and was very easy to modify to fit the larger pins.

Re: 1:6 Maxx Based H1
 

Looks pretty damn scale I like it. The fullsize H1's are independent suspension. The maxx fits good. Too bad there's no portals.

Re: 1:6 Maxx Based H1
 

Looks good man looking forward to more.

Re: 1:6 Maxx Based H1
 

Thanks guys.
Up next is mounting the body and deciding on a transmission.

Re: 1:6 Maxx Based H1
 

I would say either the summit 2 speed or a Tamiya 3 speed. If you have the room run an axial ax10 trans with a dig unit as a transfer case. That way you can have multiple gears and dig on a crawler/basher or trail truck. This makes me want a H1 body.

Re: 1:6 Maxx Based H1
 

Maxxs' are very stout to begin with. Personally I don't think I would trust an axial transmission as a center case. I say a 2spd summit trans. I think that sucker will bolt right in them rails right?

VW, can you post a link to the tamiya 3 speed you are referring to?
