Guess I should build some snowchains. Before winter really sets in.
Looks like fun trucktrial.
So we got a little snow and man did I forget how fun it is to slide the Emaxx around. Nothing like 2 packs worth of drifting in the snow to clean the truck off. (a little bit).
There are things on the Emaxx that will break. My buddy owns a summit and I have it in my basement and frequently drive it. I have broken a part on his summit(left output shaft from the front...
Check your slipper clutch it may be too loose.
Even with the adhesion promoter it doesn't hold up as well as RC paint. I did do a coat of drywall tape and shoe goo on the inside of the body... and still have pop marks were the paint has...

A awesome day in Vermont.
I use a single titan 775. 14 tooth pinion 68 tooth spur. Has a lot of torque but overheats frequently. Low speeds don't help. Used a computer fan to cool it down. Any soft compound tire will give you...

Rpm stablemaxx rims(1/2" offset), hpi gt2 tires, proline VW body(3 tubes of shoe goo inside), both diffs packed with silly...
I have rpm stablmax rims. They don't have holes in them like the stock ones did. I'm using hpi gt2 tires and so far no water is getting in. Maybe if you shoe goo the holes it might stop leaking in.
PTTM- How is the torque with the 72t spur.
I just did a 775 motor swap on my Emaxx. Looking to get more "low end" out of it.
I'm running 1 775 motor 68t/17t.
Your wheel wobble is coming from the 17 mm traxxas hex adapter. My buddy just picked up the summit brand new and the wheels wobble.
Truck is running good(no squeaks). Picked up some screen material from the hardware store and put it around my motors. So far so good no excessive heat buildup. Cravcked my body some more today....
CRC 05018 lectra-motive. Then some wd40
Looking at the uneven wear I would say something doesn't look straight.

Mini. Here's some of my damage so far. Hope you enjoy.
So I took my truck out for a beat session the other night and and noticed a squeak. So back to the basement I went determined it was coming from the tranny. Took it all apart couldn't figure out why...
Any bashers near manchester new hampshire.
Well motor is broke in and installed, she run s good again
Rear diff is good but I need to put more putty in the front, not stiff enough yet. Also think might check out the hardware store for some...
