Paul Busby Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 That's very strange mate. I might drop a note on the Thingiverse. I wonder if there has a been a slight tweak to the Maxx design somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 So, pretty pointless, but necessary: Green one to replace the red one Not a perfect match with Traxxas Green, but hey Green Motor mount next. I've been advised to go with Offset E-Revo wheels and my choice of tyres, just means I've got to glue them 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinion, 3D Printed ESC mount from @Paul Busby and an XT90 I provided the link for Paul to print which he did perfectly, however it needed a little notch taking out…. I took too much out but hey… GDS Pinion, very wide, slightly wider than the Wide Spur option. Ive gone 24/46 with a Centre Diff Green motor mount and green servo mount are on their way….. Maiden run……. Only in the cul de sac to be fair…… Ive been brutally harsh on my EXB, so just because this is Traxxas. Its only fair im the same…. Performance is obviously fine, its a 2200kv on 4s, I’ll probably run 3s more often to be honest. It wheelies even with the centre diff, and the wheelie bar doesnt seem in the right place to be of any help, Im sure this can be solved with some diff tuning and some esc/tx settings. It feels very very ‘fun’ to drive, very playful but……. i simply cannot imagine what this is like without a wide kit. It still rolls over easily…. Which is annoying….. I think this needs Wide Maxx PLUS Offset wheels to be bashable…. Im in a good place financially with this, the money is there for offset wheels (although I cant find any)…. I also had some vague steering but that was solved by rebuilding (and thread locking) the Hot Racing Alloy Steering Bellcranks as they were very loose Im sure with some wider wheels (Ive got the money for a new shell/wheels/tyres anyway, but. backflip 4s’ arent offset pre mounted…… Im sure this is going to be solid when I bash it, but out the box, if Id paid £600+ for this without the Widekit etc I dont think id be too happy. Had I brought everything new thats on this one, with the electrics id be into around £1500…..Thats not good enough, its simply too much for what you get. Im personally happy with mine, it looks amazing, and by the time Id sold the bits, the roller cost me £250, I took the electrics out the EXB, and Ill pay £80ish for some offset wheels/tyres. Itll always be worth around what i paid, and Im hoping itll be strong as an ox in other areas….. So, if you’re thinking of buying a new Maxx……. Dont, buy an MT410 Heres mine with what she is replacing…. Did try and tell ya MT410 for the win 😂. Atleast you never dropped a fortune on it and what you have you’ll make back if you sell it anyway so nothing lost 👍👍.

Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 So, had a little bash today with my Mrs Rustler 4x4. The Maxx isnt quite as different as Id hoped, the Maxx was slightly better in the rough stuff, but even on 4S it wasnt as insane as my the Rustler on 3S. I did however grow to love it more as the day went on, I didnt go mad, but I ran 2x 4S and 2x 3S and all that happened was a hinge pin popped out. Which was easily put back in. Ive got a delay when I pull the trigger, I dont think its cogging, as its just a delay, not a stutter. But early teething problems, it was good to bash at a similar scale to the Rustler. Was good fun. It does need to be prettier, and wider. So without further ado Backflip 4S, Offset E Revo Wheels Traxxas HD Shell its going to be basic Grey, with green plastic bits when they come back into stock! Bigger, more importantly offset! You can sorta see the offset here: Looking good IMO! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turok007 Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 The extra height will take away some of the new offset. The wheel looks huge next to the old one but don't look that big on the car will have to see it with a shell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting on the bits to come into stock to mount it. Ive brought some lower pinions too, and I may get rid of the centre diff and go back to whatever stock was?

turok007 Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 Run it on road the other day and roll was not as bad as i was expecting but on 4s it didn't seem to quick with 24T pinion. It pops a wheelie easily and if you hit the brakes it wants to flip. But tried it on grass today and not happy with how it cannot really handle corners.

Kpowell911 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Just to keep in line with the theme, I wanted a green motor plate…… but I could only find the whole thing, from GPM….. but its not too bad to be fair and the extra alloy may help with cooling: I also got some pinions to gear down slightly The outer ring is for the stock smaller motor. Much better…. For what you can see of it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
