I finally finnished my 6 wheel drive emaxx project, it looks good and handles really well.


I can now climb up near vertiical slopes with a run up and i dont roll over backwards. It also still manages to pull a few wheelies.

What do you guys think?

madmaniac

Looks good but ist it very fragile.

tegwin

No its just as strong as the stock E-maxx, if not stronger.

It wont roll over so easily so it wont get so much damaging.

I drove it down a flight of steps and there was no evidence ot flexing of anything it just flowed down the stairs.

madmaniac

Ok but what body are you going to use??

tegwin

Thats a good question

My Feedback: (2)

try something like the mammoth body, at least it'll take some of the room up

Use the PeterBuilt body mabey you can make a wing for the rear or just use a buggies wing. That would look cool

Crazy_Coconuts

wow... that thing looks crazy.... i love the use of duct tape... looks good...

tegwin

Yea the duct tape is there to stop the water getting into the custom made 7 cell battery packs.

Incidental i am selling this on a well known auction site, its number is <deleted> i need the money for my next project.

I want a scale heli so i need all the funds i can get.

[8D] COOL. What diff. did you use for the center set? Or did you modify a stock diff.?[&:]

Dr.ArmoMaxx

for the center diff, you get a pair of diffs and cut in half

for the body, buy two pickup truck bodies, from the first one cut from the back about 1/2 inch from the back, then cut the whole back end of the other truck, so only the bed is left, then put them together cut in the lengh you need, then you have to somehow glue/or use somethinng else to put together

very nice truck

tegwin

Yea i hacked up 3 stock diffs to make the centre diff. I have set it up so i can have 6 wheel steering if i wanted, but i would need a computer radio for that and i dont have one.

Is that thing really 6wd or do the end wheels just roll with the truck

tegwin

YEAH It really is 6 wheel drive, all wheels are powered hence the name "6WD"

Sweetshoes90210

That is really cool. I bet you can get like 6 feet up trees without fliping.

tegwin

Proberably, but ime not going to try it, gravity might kick in eventualy and that would be messy[:'(][:'(]

Does anyone wana see a video?

Sweetshoes90210

YES!

tegwin

OK, i will go take one now

By the way, there is no way i could get up that slope without a rope its steep in the middle.

enjoy

Dr.ArmoMaxx

that was awesome, what sound is that? its wierd...lol

Infinite Gundam

The sound of the all powerful electric monster!

I think better tire gripping power should make the truck mount that slope.

tegwin

I got some good runs after the camera battery died, isnt that always the case!!

Infinite Gundam

Agreed, best shots are ever so hard to capture! Anyways, nice truck!
