Looks like a good start man! ...so when you going to cut the lower chassis for clearance?I do have one qwestion when I was starting out and I had that setup on the links with out my maxx axles I only had partial movement in the links travle,have you experienced this? the stock shaft only have about a centimeter of travle when I moved my links up like that the shaft would get the the end of travle before complet articulation?I do have to say love the body choice,I'm a jeep guy!(incase you don't know they have disc. the cj8 and the rubi bodies from proline so buy up a cuple if you find them!)

Quit being a ***** and cut the chassis, you won't regret it. There is NO downside to cutting the chassis. better GC, longer WB, lighter weight, leftover aluminium. It's a win win

airranger · 02-22-2005, 05:12 PM

ya but will i have to make longer dirve shafts or what ?

if you go at least 15.5" WB just go REVO's they pretty much bolt on.

airranger · 02-22-2005, 07:35 PM

well sounds good, I got the turck all pulled apart to cut theframe and the tranny
and i was wondering i saw some guys with one motor in there turck is that better? and how do u change it over to 1?

airranger · 02-24-2005, 08:54 PM

well i hacked the frame today, rised the tranny, got my revo shafts on and everything is all up and tog ether, but electrons(doesnt matter right now)
i was loking bec i only have 2 screws holding the tranny and if u press left or right at the bottom of the tranny case it moves the tranny little back and forth, i havent got the truck up and runing yet but i was wondering is anyone else had this problem, or Know what to do to hole the tranny in place, ill have some pics up soon like tomorrow, wheel bace is now 15" by the way,

well let me know please!

Why do you keep starting new threads? Use one of your previous threads to ask this question. I am closing it so you can copy the text then I will delete this.

Also, if you search this as been answered many times. In fact I think it was answered in your cutting txt frame thread.

EDIT By RCKJEEP, I've merged the two threads. airranger, lets try to keep new threads to a minimum.

airranger · 02-25-2005, 01:53 PM

ok sorry, i pulled the stock shock set up off the truck and im gonna try to mount the shocks different so ill let u know what i make out with.

airranger · 02-26-2005, 07:10 PM

Ok i did do som searching and came up withs omething but they never talked about the TXT-1 just the cod, Ok i have a TXT-1 some of u know and i want to put Magnetic mayhem's in it, i want the battery up front so my old motors i just shitched the + and - just so i could have batt up front, i see some guys 180 the tranny, what if i left the tranny in the same direction it woild do the same as tuning the tranny right??

I want to know what one i would need for the TXT-1? The Magntic Mayhem's or the Magntic Mayhem Reverse???

ok so just to let u know my trannys the same way and my axes are switched around so what motors will i need revers or normal???

thanks

p.s. i just dont want to order the wrong motors!

Mazlem · 02-27-2005, 01:59 PM

With your axles switched you effectively rotated the tranny, so you need the reverse MM.

rckjeep · 02-27-2005, 03:51 PM

My buddies got a rev MM he doesn't need $20 and it's yours.

airranger · 02-27-2005, 04:19 PM

It's called a gear reduction! Do a search on it.

airranger · 03-01-2005, 02:38 PM

ok a quick quest about motors and stuff,
ok i finally got my truck all back together after putting revo shafts and chopping the frame and i decied to keep one motor in it a Titan (i know i know i need a better motor) with a 13t pinion on it, drove it around in the hoes becz its snowing again and when i left the roomand came back it smelt like burn motor, lol

is it that the titan is sooooo crap it cant run the truck with out 2 motors or would the truck be fine if i put one Magnetic mayhem in it? or will i need 2?

and i have learned alot of people on here cry!
