E-maxx

Is there anywhere i can get a RTR Hill Climber/ Rock Crawler for under $250?? im a total newb and admire Traxxas... so what?

[Nova]

When i get the money... this is what im gonna do to make it a real crawler... Lock the Diffs, get new tires and wheels, Mount the batterys up front, try to lower the Gearing Ratio but i dont know ne thing about Scale Trucks... can i just buy a differential that has a low low ratio??

[Reflection]

You'll need to do ALOT more than that to make it a real crawler. One thing you could do is to edit your post if you want to add more to it and ask questions once. You've started several threads asking the same questions

Slow down sonny,even though you ask the same question 20 times,around here your still gonna get the same answers.

A E-Maxx is probally not the best situation for a crawler under 250.00. You could make one if you just buy the front and rear complete w/ a tranny... That could run you around 100.00, Then build your own chassis/suspension setup and then you can build the rest with what money you got. For 250.00 I don't think your gonna get a RTR emaxx crawler. Possibly come close tho

Can someone build me a frame for the price of materials and shipping?? there isnt any comps around here, so i just want to stick out from the croud

[TwistedCreations]

so you want someone to spend their time building you a chassis just for the price of materials and shipping?

I don't know anyone that stupid..



Also, do not start 3 different posts asking the same stuff about your truck. keep it all in your post. No reason for it

I can see you being proud of something you bought... But I can not see being proud of something someone gave you. You would be proud u owned it, but look what it costed you. Nothin, No sweat. No time tweaking.

Like Twisted said, Good luck gettin someone to do it

Good point... i guess there is always a substitute for lazyness... the good thing is I was 6th out of about 30 in the District stick welding and im already better than my teach at MIG... so thats probably good

is there a place i can learn what to do to make a frame??

[Nova]

Where did my "Maxx Quality" post go?!?!?!?!?! that had a better question then this post!!

[Nova]

Dang mods are trigger happy..... i lost 2 important posts out of here....

[ScaleCrawlersINC]

Well, You posted 3 diff posts on something that can be answered all in one. Just ask again in this post. Sure someone is willing to help

There was no need for 3 different posts...you could have asked all those questions in one post.. Next time i will keep them deleted. I will bring back that one post just this once.

Building a tube frame or any frame for that matter is easy. it basically depends on your planning.. I have been planning my current build for the past month, working out every little detail. draw it all out on paper and use your imagination as to how you want it. If you can mig, you can weld a tube chassis together.

well here is the post from your other thread..

Cuz i dont want to spend money fixin stuff...

all im askin is if the E maxx has a good drive train for such a load?? i know what ill do... not even lower the ratio

this is not good questions as you asked... it is simple common sense

any time you add bigger tires, it adds stress.. any time you lock a diff, it adds stress. any time you lock one diff only, it adds more stress ( lock both) lower gears is better-yes

paddle tires?? Why? go with moabs or lsts

doesn't matter if you keep it stock or not. if you rock crawl, you WILL break. But i have LST's, diffs locked and MIP cvds and hardly break at all. last time i went out, i broke a CVD but that was a cheap knock off POS cvd.. I have yet to break a MIP.

If you spend the money and build it up right, you shouldn't have many problems. but it takes cash to get it that way. the regular maxx sliders can't handle stress. Run Revo shafts as your driveshafts and MIP CVD's as your axles and call it a day
