I just traded a new modded up Micro T for a mayhem and had some questions.

What bodies fit excluding the mayhem ones?

Which wheels fit? Any buggy 17MM?

And last, is there anymore piston and sleevs for the stock motor? if not what motor is a direct bolt on?

Thanks

Any 17mm buggy wheel works
Any .21 engine will fit. I still like the Sportwerks motors. May be able to find on Ebay. The Dynamite motor should be the same or close to the sportwerks that came with the buggy.

Status: offline 		That shouldn't have anything to do with the temp monitor being on the buggy. Unplug your receiver plugs and try again. You have a glitch caused by either a bad battery not putting out enough juice, etc.
Put a failsafe on the buggy and you won't hurt anyone.

Status: offline 		You can put in any engine that lines up with the engine mount holes AND sits so the flywheel is not hitting the chassis. I would recommend a .21 to keep legal in case you decide to race. if you are only bashing, put the biggest engine in that will fit and line up. Check the fit if you use an electric starter on the backplate, sometimes the motor mounts sit the engine to low to allow for the backplate.

I won't be racing it since we have no tracks. Btw, due the stock wheels fit on pro line buggy tires?

I know these might seem like not the best questions but I don't have a hobby shop close to me and I have to order everything. So I like to make sure everything is good to go before I order.

I have had really good luck with that motor. Just wondering though if it will be to much power for a little buggy. I guess I'll find out.

The stock wheels should fit the proline tires. You can also run the Proline wheels and their tires. Crime Fighters are always a good hookup.

I want to know since I am getting one in a trade and would like to get some spares.

I was thinking arms. knuckles, ???????????

Also are the diffs on a mayhem exactly the same as a LST?

Thanks again.

I still run mine, mainly for bashing around the yard. It still is a competitive buggy but heavy by today's standards. Have fun. See if you can find a Sportwerks .21. A great engine.

Status: offline 		Heavy is fine by me, especially if that makes it tougher It will probably just be a basher unless they open a track at the LHS this summer(there is talk of it). Basically a solid, reliable buggy is all im looking for Later down the road, I may make a truggy out of it, but that is just an idea. I have never driven a buggy, so im probably in for a surprise.

One question... What size is the stock clutch bell on the mayhem? Mine doesent come with the clutch setup or pipe, so im gonna have to find some stuff. The best i could come up with is that it was too high geared stock, and that a 12t clutch bell was a pretty good upgrade for it. The smallest bell i have right now is a 15t bell, so i probably need to buy one that is smaller. I may run it with the 15t just to see what i think of it before i buy a smaller clutch bell though.

Thanks for any help! Ill have more pictures when i have it in my hands

Eric

The best combo is 13 tooth clutch bell with the stock center diff spur gear. I also put in Mugan Clutch shoes and 1.1 springs.
Good luck. I still run mine for 4 years and still enjoy it.

I was either keeping the maxx or buying the mayhem and selling the T-maxx. After taking my Maxx out this last time and breaking the rear bulkhead with very little bashing, I decided to move on. Hopefully i made the right move

I have tons of parts to help if needed. Just look on ebay if I hear you need anything. The buggy is very solid and will do a great job. Just check metal to metal screws with blue loctite. Keep engine lined up correctly to spur gear and use paper to set gear mesh.
Have fun. Get a good 3 port OS .21 engine for cheap or better yet find a dynamite or sportwerks .21 engine.

I just bought a complete new Hyper 7 clutch setup tonight for it on ebay. Flywheel, shoes, springs, bearings, shims, and a 13t clutch bell, so I should be good to go in the gearing department.

I should have the clutch setup about the same time as the buggy, so ill be ready to throw it all together All the radio gear, and motor is setting there waiting, so im anxious to get it going

I will never get rid of my Mayhem. It has been rock solid for years and easy to drive. Put a little more rear brake in it. Run Diff fluid 5/7/2 front to rear.

I do need to round up a pipe and header. I might have to hit up ebay for that.

I bought an Ofna Ravager pipe, header, coupler, engine exhaust gasket, and header spring for $14.94 shipped. Figured i might as well buy it now and be able to use it than to wait till later and pay the same amount for one after swapping exhausts back and forth between my savage and the buggy.

So i should be set to go once it all gets here
