Hi fellas, Just finished an upgrade on my maxx..
Rpm all around, shocks, CVD's, Skip plates, Novak 5.5 hv system and some quality batts..
This thing is runs awesome!!!

rebuilder

Nice..................lots of shiny stuff. Those look like some high dollar packs, what are they? That rig should really scoot.

plasma 327

Hey rebuilder.....They are ener-g 4600 matched pack 7 cells..
The old parts off of this is part of what i built the old e-maxx out of.. LOL!!

rebuilder

Yeah, i was on your 3906 thread also...........now you have a fast one and a really fast one!! Do you have a child to run with you? What did those 7 cells cost you?

plasma 327

Nope, no children... I have rc freaks like my self that live close to run with.. On the first test run of the 06 i throttled it to much off my jmp and snaped the front end before I ever hit half throttle LOL!!
Here a a couple of carnage pics..

Here is the vid of the break!!! I hit the bird bath base and whola!!! carnage!!! LOL!!!

Thats insane, and Nice bird bath hit, rofl!

plasma 327

I know, i never thought about hitting it.. LOL!!!

rebuilder

The one in the pics looks like a 3905 (new e-maxx) your older fixer upper is a 3906.........................right?

plasma 327

Yep, Did i Get it backwards?

rebuilder

That sucks about tearing the rig up............bent shock and all.[:'(]

plasma 327

Yeah, sad part was it was the very first run and it lasted less than a minute!!!
I have broken it frequently and often since then... the most trouble i had though was twisting the the front and rear drive shafts off
at the universals.. I went through countless shafts before I found some that woud take the torque load....
other than that just typicall bulkheads a-arms etc... The things that jump out in front of you are the wost!!! LOL!!!!!

rebuilder

Here my 3905 Mamba monster two days ago in the park............................

SWEET!!!!!!! Looks like it hauls!!!!
What is your take on the new monster system??? are you running lipo's? or nimh?
how is the driveline holding up?

rebuilder

Its the Mamba 2200kv and i'm running it on 6s lipo (22.2v). I had to upgrade the driveshafts and centershafts to steel. I added a hardened steel 64t spur and a Hardened steel 16t pinion. Nothing breaks. I had to replace the front and rear diff a while ago cuz i bought it used off e-bay and it already had a lot of run time then i thrashed it more with the monster system. Got the diffs off e-bay brand new for 15 bucks each, sealed and ready to go, sweet deal. I added aluminum bulkheads and shock towers and Duratrax (yes duratrax) Warhead 6" aluminum shocks(8 total).

plasma 327

Good Deal...
i am thinking of getting that system for my e-revo....
It is stock now...
Did you try nimh on that system before you went lipo??
The 7 cell matched packs is what i would run it with for now..

My Feedback: (1)

your maxx looked fun till it hit that birdbath, lol
I see we have similar luck, this sound familiar?

you "Oh sweet, cool new thing I have, better test it out! gently of course!"
world "oh no you don't! I'm going to break that thing the second you try to use it!"
you "oh crap, my new thing is broken, time to get a newer new thing for it or a new thing all together!"
repeat until flat broke

that's how it works for me, lol.

plasma 327

You are correct!!! LoL
Such is the joy of our hobby!!!
I love it though!!!

I know how you feel with the BB incident, something really major on my 18T breaks every couple runs, and from really minor crashes. Just yesterday it's right front tire bounced off the edge of a curb, where it slopes down to the driveway entrance. It just kinda spun out, nothing major, but somehow the Mamba's mounting face detached from the can.

I CAed it back on, and did a few more runs. Atm I'm totally wishing I had a new Draglink (which btw broke in a 10mph rollover) because it veered off during a speed pass and snapped the bellcrank

I also recently put in some MIP diffs to go with the Steel Diff Gears. Needless to say my diffs don't give me problems anymore.
