With great power comes great responsibility……

 

Tyres are just holding on with the higher gearing and the Max 6…. May need some diff tuning. I hate diff tuning….

Silicon ear plugs seems to be the general consensus. Feels wrong the idea of stuffing one of them in the centre diff.

Down the field with the old man. He’s really getting to grips with the Maxx. He can drive it on two wheels at will now. Talion was rapid as ever, I’ll be adding a fan to the motor heat sink as soon as it lands!

Those spectrum esc's do seem a bit burny just a bit too often for ma liking. Hope there wasn't too much other damage Tanveer. 

Wonder if the fan packed in?

Won a ftx ravine from hobby comps 

Quite happy about that see what this crawler lark is all about apparently there not half bad 

I won a set of Lipo charge bags from them a while ago! Personally I would have preferred an Xmaxx but considering I never win anything I’m pretty happy!

Other than the price, I think theyre epic! You might need CVDs at one point, which isnt cheap, but I love the truck 

To be fair when I got it out the box it felt like quality if you know what I mean? Apart from the plastic driveshafts it seems top notch. Steering servo doesn’t seem to bad at all!

Another vote for Zee and Goldbat from Amazon. I've got one of each - 3s 5200 mAh 60C. Both been running ok so far.

 

Prices can differ though, so check Amazon and eBay for which ever is cheapest at the time.

They also do the same batteries with different connectors. So make sure you search thoroughly, you may find the connector type you need!

One thing I will say about the zees I think the capacity they’ve printed on the label is a tad optimistic!

[Lipos where to get them cheap but not crap]

Anyone had any experience with these?

[What did you do to your model today?]

Collected a lot of grass clippings went for an unscheduled explore in the old moat next to the field!

Im lost. Is capped good or bad haha?

He’s happy! I’m pretty chuffed with it to. Had a bit of play with it and I’m impressed.

[MAXX 4S OWNERS THREAD]

First go today with the Maxx. The old man’s capped with it!

[What did you do to your model today?]

Took the Talion and Maxx for a first blast down the field. Chuffed with both of em! The self righting on the Maxx is absolute class!

[Hi from York]

Good luck looking.  I've got one in my stash, took me a long time to find and only cold hard cash in silly quantity would make me part with it.  Afaik there's nothing else out there, even finding a good used one to make a puck from to mold my own was a challenge.

Stick a pic up!

To be honest it’s really not far off. The talion has it in the width dept but the length is pretty much the same.

When you view the talion side on compared to the Maxx the Maxx looks more 1/10 scale. Still not a massive difference apart from weight maybe!

This is the box contents! Insert suitable Kevin Talbot quote! Maxx for the old man and the Talion for me. That should scratch the itch… for now!

[What did the postie bring you today?]

 So the postie/courier brought me two large boxes! Will open when back from work!
