Man, I miss these. I always wanted one, just never bought one... Then I saw Making-trax and this thread and i am starting to want one again. How do they do on dirt and things other than snow? I don't make it to the snow all that often...

SnailMail · 01-10-2008, 04:25 AM

I am guessing that would do just fine...

what happens when the tracks wear out? do you think they will still be avalible in the future?

wrx-n-ktm · 01-10-2008, 04:30 AM

None of the tracks on mine have worn out yet. Kyosho is still producing the newer version so there are still plenty of spare parts.

SnailMail · 01-10-2008, 10:09 AM

i wasn't shure, if you ran them on harder surfaces, i could see them wearing out, and for storage, what do you do? if you left them on, wouldnt they crack after a while? (a long while, but eventually, right?)

Krawlin · 01-10-2008, 04:45 PM

It would be nice to get some metal tracks for them. They would probably never break unless you had some horrible crash.

It would be cool to use an E-Maxx tranny in there with larger idler gears and a really small spur gear... then you could have a 2 speed in the electric.

Trikster · 01-10-2008, 04:50 PM

I was thinking that one of these would be fun at the beach...a little styrophoam and waterproof electronics might be a good time.

I just added another DX with plow to my collection tonight

It'll be on it's way from Canada.

I was gonna buy it but am getting a XC now from someone, and he emailed me and said another party offered him 255!

The one from making trax? Thats pretty funny

I didn't offer 255 though:?

rcjunky3 · 01-10-2008, 07:14 PM

these are cool to see i have an original that must date back to around 1989-1990 with a van body that i think was made by parma. probably only ever ran it a few times. i would post pics but i cant ever seem to get them to work on here. i took the tracks off way back in the day to narrow them and never put em back on or ran it again.

SnailMail · 01-11-2008, 07:47 PM

Has anyone ordered theirs off Ultimate hobbies? the pice is 160....

Also, does anyone know if there is a center diff for the E-maxx tranny, so you could put that in the center and get 2 speeds

Also, i was thinking BL for the extra efficency, but how high of a KV should i go? is the 7700 MM okay? i have a MM, so i can tune it down

I ordered off Ultimate Hobbies, but got the DF-300, newest model.

The emaxx tranny has no center diff in it.

SnailMail · 01-11-2008, 08:35 PM

i was wondering if there was an aftermarket diff if anyone knew about...

as for a motor, it looks like higher winds or KV is better.... according to making - trax

and i don't want to get a df-300 because i plan to beat on it, and i predict the scale things would fall off, so plain is better.

I'm looking at a 4600kv mamba, I figured that would be pretty safe.

I might have gotten the cheaper blizzard, but it wasn't in stock. And you don't have to put on all the plastic stuff on the body
