SYST3M_OVERIDE Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I personally never saw the point of widening the stance of my X Maxx. If I wanted a wider stance I'd have gotten a 8S Kraton. To be fair though I don't race so stability isn't a huge issue for me. I do wish though that I could find some 10" tires to use. I always felt the wheels looked a tad small on the truck.

SYST3M_OVERIDE Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) What would be the best oil setup for the front and rear diffs if most of my driving is on grass? Edited October 11, 2022 by SYST3M_OVERIDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYST3M_OVERIDE Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) It's current turning radius is quite large. Might need to change the front to thicker oil. I'll figure that out after I've run it in the snow for the first time. Just need it to snow first.

SYST3M_OVERIDE Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I finally made it so my batteries wouldn't fly out after a hard hit. Drilled a hole through one side of the black battery clip and put a body clip through. Batteries don't come out anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYST3M_OVERIDE Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I just topped up both front and rear diffs with oil and for some reason my front one is very hard to turn. I only used 10k but it feels like 2m. It spins like it should if I loosen the main gear a bit but then oil leaks out. Anyone have any ideas?

SYST3M_OVERIDE Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Somewhat off topic but since I took the ESC and motor out of my Arrma Felony and put it in my Maxx, I kinda want to get another xmaxx motor and throw that in the Maxx.

SYST3M_OVERIDE Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Is it pretty common to break the shock shaft rod end that connects to the lower a arm? I have the RPM shock guards installed and not sure if they contributed to the rod end breaking.

Are you running stock shock oil/springs? if so i would guess that you bottom out shocks on high jumps? Since i run my truck on a BMX track - lots of jumps - i replaced stock oil with XTR 950cst and harder springs in the back - also i tighten them to the max when i go for jumps.

Is there a temperature you wouldn't recommend running it in? Is there some preps i should do before i run it in snow/negative temperatures? I think bashing is out of the question, but would still like to run it in some field. Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
