FatWheels Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Really enjoyed that video. Shows what great fun the X-Maxx is. The blue one had a Max 6 and 19-50 gearing standard motor? What esc and gearing was in the red one? Looked like you had enough power and control without it being too much to handle. Looking forward to the wheelie bar update.

Mountain bike gloves are ideal when control is still needed. Chain Reaction have loads in their sale, I've just picked up these for riding in. A bargain at £10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the wheelie bar update. Glad you enjoyed it there are fun The blue one is running a max6 geared 19/50 stock motor with those upgraded springs and heated diffs The red one is running a max6 geared 18/54 stock motor and stock springs and those new spiral cut diffs Just need some longer m4 bolts for the wheelie bar and a bit of daylight to get out in.

I'd love to say yes but work dark evenings and family life have been putting a stop to runtime plus it's freezing this week lol Hoping to get out over the weekend after putting up the Christmas decorations, the plan is to hit the skateparke at Crawley early Sunday morning fingers crossed Edited December 1, 2016 by mydoddy69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydoddy69 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Some sad news No skatepark bash was too late out so hit my local spot, I was being a bit full on and sadly chewed up a rear ring and pinion NOW before we all get carried away it wasn't one of those nice machined ones it was one of the heated treated ones after a fair few packs and beatings from hell ! So sadly it's not a cure but it certainly improved its life span IMO I haven't pulled it out yet but when I do I'll get some pics up but when it went it went with a MIGHTY Big Bang, not sure if I got it on film but I should have some madness of today's bash to come later 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripoffbritain Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Omg that was a sigh of relief I thought you'd smoked the bad boys,? went for for a mini bash myself and the slipper came undone and melted the spur even though the nut was fixed with the red permanent thread lock,hay ho. btw how you getting on with the thrust bearing?

mydoddy69 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Pulled this diff its actually not as bad as I thought it would be The ring gear is fine i reckon it would be even better if I hadn't of just carried on and run the rest of the 6s pack off about 10minutes of further abuse lol The pinion though is toast ! So make of it what you will but I reckon this heat treatment is doing some good even if it just saves you buying a ring gear instead of having to buy both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Good job on the pinion there!! Pity you cannot buy them separately, 'though you must be building up quite a collection now - can soon 'mix'n'match'!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocdcbr Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Nice vid doddy. Was trying ing to figure out what u did w that big crash..... until u said about front flipping! Eeeeeekkkkkk! that diff break was a big hit. Had similar myself when I have broken them. Trying to recover from a bad angle in the air landing hard on throttle. Good to see some big xmaxx action. Too busy this past weekend to sort mine, no matter run it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
