agreed! i love the look of tubers. i considered the the tcs eclipse for the mrc as the next potential project but i'm more likely to invest in another crawler.

How well do these hold up in stock form? I would like to purchase one for my daughter to enjoy. I know there isn't much of a direct aftermarket parts supply for these, but a lot of crawler stuff is self sourced for repairs/upgrades.

What size is the stock steering servo on this thing... smaller than a standard servo for sure! Is it considered a mini or a micro? I got my boy's truck fixed all up for his birthday. It's got a steel truck body on it that I painted up like an army truck. Turned out pretty slick! I'll have to get a few pics on here. |

| maxclone tuber
Ok so got the droop shocks dialed by a thread AB had answered in the MRC section. I used 2 pen springs in the front between the piston and the housing to make the shocks suck back in. On the back I cut the spring in half to suck the shock back together. The springs also limit suspension travel perfictly and the maxclone is really stable. Here some more pics. http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/...a/IMG_0176.jpg http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/...a/IMG_0172.jpg http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/...a/IMG_0174.jpg http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/...a/IMG_0177.jpg |

hey fellas just an fyi i just installed some losi cvds in my exceed maxstone 1/16th worked out to be fairly simple about 30 minutes if you count the time spent b s ing with my buddy about it. but all i did was take the bearings off the stock exceed axle shafts and install them in the housing the with a good file i squared off the rounded ends of the losi cvds until they were a tigh fit in the differential. pay close attention because i foudn that actually instead of making the whole end the same width as the losis already keyed end. i found a hair thicker was just right to fit tightly in the spool without any slop. also there are tiny tits on the end of the axle shaft these can be shaved down a hair. it may not be nescesery however it looked it to me when i was eyeballing it. now there are two aviot to this mod one should be aware of. one is the losi uses a smaller diameter axle pin then the exceed. so i will most likely run losis wheel hexes. or you could drill out the axles to accept the larger exceed pins. also the outer bearing on the axle housing doesnt get a full surface contact with the shoulder of the axle on the cvds. it still looks to be about a 32nd of an inch contact area though and time will tell for sure but i think it will be good enough. anyway. if i get time tomorrow i will try to post a pic of the modified axles. also were definitely limited by the stock knuckles for turning angle though but with some shaving it is possible to get a very respectable turning angle. |

Jereosbou, I would love to see pictures of this mod. I have some Losi CVDs that I bought to try to get them to fit in the EMS.

|     I'm seriously thinking about putting some LED's into the empty headlight sockets... Wire them up to where the LED is on the ESC that glows whenever you're going forwards or backwards. Last edited by billybob_81067; 03-15-2011 at 01:34 AM. |

i was curious about what qualifies a product to get it's own thread on rccrawler.com. i love the site and participate in several forums but having the exceed products buried in the newbie general forum may be limiting the number of people that research or consider these rigs. seems like there are a lot of people out there getting maxstone crawlers as a budget vehicle to start off in the hobby. i would suggest we at least get an exceed products forum. i don't think a separate forum for each product is necessary. anyone else have thoughts on this? |

i talked to a moderator and he said it would be very hard to get a thread for the exceeds.he said just keep the other threads buried in exceed talk and maybe we could get one so i started the exceed rc pic thread.everybody just keep up the good work and maybe soon. billy g. |
