I bought a E-maxx 16.8v a few weeks ago and today i got to test the "water-proof" electronics. It passed with flying colors. I even ran it into a deep (5 inches) puddle and it did great. no hiccups. I ran 6 batteries through it and she is holding strong. It absolutely rips, we clocked it on dry pavement. It tops out at 41 mph. (buddy is a cop, LOL) Mods: RPM- A Arms, shock towers, skid plates. 64 tooth spur gear, 14 tooth pinion, venom 5000 mah batts (and some 3000 mah's) I also snapped a few pics of my truck... because i'm the R-F pic ***** lately.

Here she is...

 

that thing will rip! makes me miss my traxxis revo and t-max.

 

Sweet pics, I want one!

 

Its worth it. they are beyond fun... but the 600 i spent on the stupid thing could have modded the ranger a bit.

 

Yeah I don't need another expensive hobby, I have enough of those.

 

Are you running lipos in your emaxx? i have the same thing and im running batteries that are cheaper and more powerfull than the ones your running right now... they might be something you would want to look into.

 

same here Trent.

I have been into this hobby in the past, bunch of fun.

 

Ive got a Jato. Had an Old Terra Crusher ( if anybody knows what that is). Pretty fun.

 

i want one too but i dont have the money for a nitro truck

 

Its not nitro, it runs on batteries

 

Oh the joys of a radio controlled hobby. Fun to mess with but quite expensive.

 

I went into the hobby shop the other day and just about dropped a bag of money on the table. I have to keep my self from going in there. I try to let my nitro rustler sit every winter but i love playin with it and yall r right. It is a pricey hobby.

 

I love that picture of the Mustang!

 

please tell me YOUR setup. Im running 25 minutes with a set of 5000's and 17 minutes with 3000's. But the power is just not there...

 

I STILLLL want a T-maxx..this want is goin' on 5 years! lol.

 

i hope you waterproofed you servos and you receiver

 

I have Rhino 4900mah 20c 2s batteries. Not sure if youre running lipos already but If you run lipos you will have to have a Low Voltage Cutoff. The LVC is about $25 and the batteries are about $40 a piece. I will get a link for the batteries and the LVC.

The only problem with these batteries is you will need to do some minor trimming. I can post some pictures if you like of the trimming I had to do. You should get a little more run time with these batteries because they hold a little bit more that 5000mah in them. They have great punch. If youre running the Traxxas connectors you'll need a set of female connectors for the batteries because they come with deans.

Heres the batteries:

Not sure if youre running lipos already but if your not youll need a balancer. I have a good balancer that was fairly cheap. Ill get a link for it too.

I need to get one of those.

 

Man that thing is sweet.

But I can't even afford to do what I want to my real truck, not a toy truck. Eff all you big boys who are out of school and have money, LOL.

 

I have one that has been sitting in storage I will sell you.

 

they are waterproof. Read the text.

 

hah i didn't even see that, i must of skipped it when i seen the pics

 

my roomate got a e-max but he has dumped ALOT of money into it cause of burning up motors.

 

So that's what you do when school is closed for a snow day.......LOL

 

LOL. I've owned three emaxxs and never have burned a motor or esc up. They are great trucks. RC is expensive. Period. I'm getting a muggy for racing unless I find a good race setup for the maxx
