hey guys, i'm gettin a new emaxx in soon and just wanted to know what to expect from it or what would be good upgrades for it? It still has the factory twin titan 550 motors and just was wondering if i should upgrade them to something bigger or just buy some bigger batteries.

the emaxx is pretty str8 right out of the box.. f would recomment you by a QUALITY battery charger that will charge 2 7.2v batts at the same time.... at the same time buy 4 more batteries so you have batteries ready to go... a fully charged pair of batts will get you about 10 minutes of killer run time and as the batterys start to get low after the 1st 10 -15 minutes, you ll get about another 10 minutes but it wont be a fun as the 1st, swap batteries and now your good for another 15 minutes or so... it is recommended you only recharge you batteries 2 times in any 24 hr period..

I've got two of these duratrax twinpulse chargers(I can charge 4 at once). They're very good. From tower you can get them bundled with two GP3300 packs. The #1 charger is switchable to 1 Amp for charging transmitter and receiver packs too, a handy feature.

aluminum servo guard, chassis braces, front and rear bumpers, rpm a-arms, rrp brakes and dual slipper. a good set of batteries always helps. esc and motors can stay for awhile. if you got the money novak hv-maxx setup would nice.but you would have to get new gears to gear it right for the hv-maxx

Hey There. Emaxx Trucks Rock. I have 4 of them, 3 heavily modified and upgraded. In regards to replacement batteries and chargers, visit the www.amondotech.com website. You can find good quality and low priced batterys and chargers there. Just trying to help. .

Hey. Let me tell you you'll really enjoy your E-Maxx. Mine is stock, but I'm just about to order some various hopups off to Tower Hobbies. If you have about $140, get some CVD's for all 4 corners and for the center driveshafts. This will prepare you're drivetrain for any future upgrades you may perform. Also, a dual-disc Robinson Racing slipper clutch would be nice. The only other upgrade that you may want to purchase if you don't have money for the CVD's would be replacing the stock steering servo. It's pretty weak, and one with more torque will improve your "driving experience" a lot. For a charger I have a MRC SuperBrain 977, and 4 3000mAh packs. Good luck!

what else would you guys do to one? I dont want to start a new thread but have been looking at the E-Maxx also.

is the E-Maxx just like the T-maxx but eletric, or did they change anything on either one ?

is the e-maxx as fast as the t-maxx

Timmahh

no the Emaxx stock is about 33 mph. the tmaxx stock is about 42..

a brushless system would add to that speed right?

hey guys i got my e-maxx in today and this thing is awesome!!!! I'll get some pictures up here real soon. i got two 3800 smc batteries for it and borrowed my buddies duratrax discharge/charger for him for the time being thanks for all your help. please post up any more ideas about this maxx so i have more of an idea what to look into getting..

oh one more question for ya guys... when i ran it today and went to redo the whole dis/charge the batts, only one batt was fully dead the other had almost a complete charge still in it any ideas on that?????

Timmahh

not a clue blackdog... maybe it wasnt plugged in completely... never noticed that issue with my Emaxx...

Deth, yes a brushless system will deffinatly increase speed......i ve heard of someone with the TOP LINE novak brushless gettin near or over 50 with it.

Timmahh

HV novak is only like $269.00 thats not to bad but I guess after paying $325 for a new truck it would be.

Is any of you guys upgrading to a better radio with the E-mAxx? if so what radio

Timmahh

i heard under 300 and you were in the mid/top shelf area of the novak brushless system. if not mistaken, you can spend about double that for motors and an esc... but now im totally into Hearsay. the boys n girls in the lechy forum would know for sure.

hey guys, on My emaxx that i just got one of the batts seem to wear out faster and just wont keep a charge. Both batts are brand new!! I have a duratrax digital discharger/charger that i use and i always fully discharge the batts before i recharge.. the one batt will hold a charge overnight but the other one will not hold one for more than 15 minutes or so. you guys got any ideas??????

The batteries i have are smc 3800's

EpoweredRC

did you buy both brand new? have you always ran them together? or have you ran the one( bad one) in other stuff. maybe you should try to balance it..

Hey you should buy a RC SOLUTIONS roll cage. It is the coolest thing on my truck and they are super strong.

If you charge the e-maxx all the way full, how long will it run for untill you have to charge it again?

If you charge an e-maxx to be full and go with it, how long willl it be able to go until you have to charge it again?
