3903 Dewalt install problems

Ya, use the bell cranks or a Large truck servo saver even with titanium gears because even if the gears dont go, you could end up over-heating the servo motor and having servo toast. Good luck with the hand.

**_jarhead_** · 11-05-2011 11:30 AM

How's the hand coming Goalie? Whats up Trax, Power, Army! The summer is now over and was looking froward 2 playing with the Maxx but everyone keeps getting me 2 go 2 car shows. Just stopping by to say HELLLLLLO!!!

**trax de max** · 11-05-2011 12:58 PM

in the uk, summer was over a long time ago. lol roll on snow time.

**_jarhead_** · 11-05-2011 01:13 PM

It just got cold here in N.C.! Im in the good old U.S.A.!!

**PowerToTheMaxx** · 11-05-2011 01:26 PM

Balmy 52* here in Chicago, almost 60* on the Lakeside, sunny with a blus sky and a little wind. Perfect weather, no snow, just a boat-load of leaves.

**_jarhead_** · 11-05-2011 07:48 PM

2nd that on the boat-load of leaves! Its about 60 here also.

**PowerToTheMaxx** · 11-05-2011 10:34 PM

Its accually annoying. we have only pine trees in our yard. All of the trees are the neighbor's that blew into our yard...

**_jarhead_** · 11-06-2011 10:25 PM

Same here. I can go out and cut them all up and when im done you cant tell nothing!

**goalieman3037** · 11-08-2011 04:33 PM

sorry guys havent been on much , the hands doing great jarhead thanks for asking, yeah power I just went back to the stock chassis for now, once i have both hands done and Im back to normal Im going to make a new chassis including the bell cranks! so I can get my 4 wheel steering back

lol My house is like 5 years old in a new subdivision,( 3 acre lots) so all my tree leaves can fit in a 1 gallon food storage bag!.....the bad part is Ill have leaves to rake when I get too old o go out and rake them up!

**PowerToTheMaxx** · 11-08-2011 04:56 PM

But by then you can get your MAxx to pull a big rake...

**goalieman3037** · 11-09-2011 05:01 PM

lol that's a good excuse, ill have to use that one on the wife

I need a bigger broom. The idea is to sweep the water over the rise and off the side of the driveway, but the thing wouldnt push much water. Maybe a varation on the snow plow design.

Next time my truck's together and its pouring rain ill try to get a vid.

**goalieman3037** · 11-10-2011 05:14 PM

you need a big squeegee

!

**PowerToTheMaxx** · 11-10-2011 05:22 PM

Broom prob is better, more flexible and it dosn't have to be bone dry, just so you can walk through without getting your soxs wet.

X2 on this!!!

**PowerToTheMaxx** · 11-11-2011 09:27 AM

But the ground curves so much and the concrete is so rough that i might well flip the truck over the squeegee. What I need is a big wind-shield wiper blade.

**TIgers32137** · 11-12-2011 07:07 PM

i actually had intentions of doing that.i was looking around the barn and found one but not got around to making one. but i did make a plow.

I cant find my tape but hope this helps.

**goalieman3037** · 11-19-2011 05:50 AM

here are some dimensions mustang 63.1 i believe its in inches

**trax de max** · 11-19-2011 06:47 AM

yep it's in inches, if you want mm without searching it's
01.8799 = 47.7494 mm can
0.1575 = 4.0005mm mounting holes (M4).
0.1969 = 5.00126mm pinion shaft. (5mm not 5.005mm).
0.5787 = 14.6989mm this is the little lip on the can.
1.2795 = 32.4993mm mounting space for fixings.

**Mustang63.1** · 11-19-2011 08:15 AM

Hey thanks everybody

**_jarhead_** · 11-19-2011 05:04 PM

Looks like I can put my tape away now LOL!!!

**goalieman3037** · 11-20-2011 11:24 AM

see what happens when you get a bunch of good people together Mr jarhead, everyone's ready to help or give some advise! has anyone had issues with the strength of the spring in the emaxx bell crank system? or is it just me since im using the summit tires? I have seen the heavy duty spring for the revo, but i haven't seen one for the emaxx? I'm thinking ill make a one piece arm to replace the two piece with the spring, and go to some good High torgue servos with steal gears, has anyone else made mods for this problem?

It might be the user (Rich)

Just joking! I havent played with mine that much to have issues but maybe Army, Trax, or Power can help you but Im no help.

**goalieman3037** · 11-20-2011 02:22 PM

if any emaxxer is interested (and don't already know, and if you did already know why didn't you tell me???...j/k) you can replace the plastic bushings in the bell crank systems with traxxas part# 5114 Ball bearings, blue rubber sealed (5x8x2.5mm) (2)...lol just thought I'd throw that out there because of a question I saw in another thread!

**goalieman3037** · 11-21-2011 07:27 AM

its all fixed! just waiting till my right hand is feeling a little better had the surgery on it friday the 18th, took it out Thursday night and caught some huge air and broke the rear shock tower lol you should have seen me replacing it with just my left hand working, but, waaaalaaa a new rpm shock tower is in place!

Its good you got it fixed with the magic hand!

My wife is about to have surgery on her shoulder and will be out of work for 6 wks at the least. Now we all know your still able to go out and get some big air! As long as the trigger finger isnt broke its all good!

**goalieman3037** · 11-21-2011 09:36 AM

Thanks! The wife isnt looking forward to it but needs to be done. Its a little rainy here also.

I took mine out yesterday and the dogs were so mad it wasnt funny!

It was on the top most of the time. That was the first time I ran it that hard. I can say the brakes work really good!!

**trax de max** · 11-21-2011 11:39 AM

yep the brakes are very good i'm surprised i never smashed anything with the ammount of times it flipped over forwards into them trees that pop up from the ground. good luck to your wife.

**_jarhead_** · 11-21-2011 11:45 AM

Thanks Trax! It was fun getting a little rough with it.
