atom3624 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It is an agile yet brutal beastie - that's why everyone likes it, yet criticises it when it breaks - after having missed a 20' jump, or so ... There have been a load of well-documented issues. Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegs44 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Ok gang. Day three of bashing with my new beast. Getting good air, amazing slides etc with the 8s. Couple of dodgy landings and it has clearly knocked something out of alignment in the drive train. The motor just spins free. So I lift it up by one end, give it a shake and everything re-engages and the drive is fine. Go upside down and same again. I'm no stranger to shredding spur gears etc but the Xmaax is new tech for me. So where should I start ? It's def in the area of the motor onto transmission.

evssv Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Pull the little gray cover off beside the black motor pinion cover..which may need to come off aswell ...is as good a place to start as any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hegs44 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Outstanding chaps. Exactly right. The Pinion grub screw had loosened. Threadlocked and sorted. Bash On. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegs44 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Xmaxx Bashers, So I've evolved from 1/18, to 1/10 to 1/8 and now The Beast. All along i have always stocked up on the most breakable parts. Because the whole Xmaxx system is so new to me what would be the top 10 of parts to go just through bashing etc. It can be internals, body work or chassis parts. Just trying to get a feel for it.

mydoddy69 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Shock shafts and I'd swap out the spur and pinion Traxxas pot cast is crap use GDS spur and pinions from eBay couple if bearings for hubs etc and a selection of nuts and bolts that's about all I carry plus the above mentioned by others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ocdcbr Posted August 28, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2017 Ran my X at bashfest alongside the 1/5 scales on the fast oval. It held its own and was quicker than most down the straits 18/46 geared on 8s with the max 5. Another guy was there too with his which I got some vid of. Definite driving style required ... all out down the strait, brake in a line then take the turn slow and blast out again. Any touch from another car in the turn or too fast and it was a crash. Mine lasted poss 8 laps b4 a corner collision with a losi 5 sent me rolling. Suddenly then had no drive. Thought it must be the pin grub screw but mound my spur toothless and in half and my pin with about 3 teeth!! fun while it lasted though! And a fair few of the petrol heads were impressed with the way it ran. Not the ideal environment for it tho that's for sure!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hegs44 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Evening all, Just back from some evening bashing in the forest. So the body is taking a hammering and beginning to split here and there. I've seen vids of people using fibre glass tape and resin to strengthen bodies. Whats the thinking on this ? and what methods have people used. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in hind sight u should of done it before even used it dude........I`ve done mine with shoe goo and skrim/builders tape asnd its a hell of a lot stronger now..... iused 4x tubes on it....... I covered the whole of the inside with it... I had to use longer bolts to put the catch bit bak on as the stock ones wernt lonog enuff after putting the goo on.... and the rpm, fr/rear bumper supports r a good move aswell as they will save the rerar of the shell as there a lot stronger then the flimsy stock ones..... heres my rear one which kept folding bak in to the lower rear of the shell and would of cracked it.... sum body washers r a good move aswell..... I also did the edging to hopefully save it aswell...esp on the rear all one continuous piece.... Edited August 29, 2017 by evssv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
