Glad you like the vid Six!
We will be taking more next bash!

It's great to hear all you guys recovered from the damages suffered from last weekend.
At least the forecast is calling for mid 80's instead of 100 degrees. Like last time.

Justin said he finally got the Savage together and the maxx finally started.

Cousingrandpa said he wil be out for sure .

I had to get him a one way bearing while I was at Al's yesterday. It was like he knew I was there cause my cellphone rang 5 minutes after I walked into Al's.
So, now I know he will show up for shure.

I think Rusty is gonna be there.

So we should have a good turn out if everybody else shows.

Thanks for posting your pics Thirdgen89GTA.

Anybody want a set of t-maxx rims (black) 5 spokes with MT tread on them?
They work great on grass and dirt,clay (ok on pavement)
I'm also getting rid of the MGT tires that were on the white savage in the pics from last Sunday.
They will make your truck taller and ride smoother without wheel hop at high speed! both are 14 mm hex size.
I will bring both sets to the bash if anyone wants them let me know.
I have way to many sets of rims and tires and need to get rid of a couple.

Fix the Tmaxx, break the Tmaxx, fix the Tmaxx break the Tmaxx.

Its all the stupid driveshaft's fault too. Stupid plastic traxxas crap.

Had a half tank, installed UE center shafts after replacing trans case. 2 minutes later my Tmaxx is front wheel drive only. The rear passenger drive cup broke. Grrr.......

I'll be at Camp Maxx or I'd go...

Tex · (#80 (**permalink**))

what motor do you have in there 89TA?

Thirdgen89GTA · (#81 (**permalink**))

Its an OS .18CV-RX. Shouldn't be enough to break the plastic stuff as it does. Only thing I can think of is that the plastic is old and fatigued. I can't remember if that was one of the parts that I replaced before. Oh well, it isn't hard and I do have a spare halfshaft laying around.

I'll order UE stuff with my next paycheck so I can stop these annoying things.

thirdgen do you race or just bash?

RobH · (#83 (**permalink**))

My maxx drivetrain was a headache from day one when I put an 18 cv-r in there. First I got UE 8mm steel CVDs, then I was killing diffs all the time even with aluminum cases and cups, then I was twisting centers as well, so I bought UE titanium centers, and UE 8 spider diffs, then I started snapping the ends off of forward only shafts. Duratrax header, traxxas blue tuned pipe, platinium 30% fuel.

Thirdgen89GTA · (#84 (**permalink**))

I can't see the 18 CVRX being that much stronger than a 3.3. In fact, from what I've read the CVRX is about on par with a 2.5R or mabye a bit better, but less than a 3.3.

I can't see a reason why it would snap everything except for fatigue on the stock plastic parts that haven't been replaced yet..

I'm a basher by nature.

Either way we should probably stop spamming the thread. I'll make another thread if crap continues with the Tmaxx

i have about 1.5 gals on my cv-r and have no probs with the drive line.

Spamming? This is all RC related.

DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 · (#87 (**permalink**))

Not spamming...hi-jacking.

Its saturday, who's gonna be there. Whatcha gonna bring.

Buggy is fixed. And all clean now.

Got a Air Filter for the flying Jato, who knows maybe I'll even find my old one tomorow.

Tmaxx is front wheel drive only right now.

Twisted the rear driveshafts last night when I hit it. That'll teach me to tighten the slipper clutch and try to do wheelies with plastic driveshafts. I could ofcourse swap the front for the rear and make it rear wheel drive only, but its really hard to control then.

Kinda got the OB4 Nitro running, but I have some severe fuel leaks from the carb or supply nipple on the carb. Don't feel like fixing it yet. Rich as hell.

And I lost my fuel bottle rubber stopper.

Gonna go find it now.

rusty savage · (#89 (**permalink**))

ill be there, Ill have the mini quake, maxx, hyper 7 and maybe the rusty. I need to swing by als and grab some and the store for some gloden beverage but other then that im ready to rock!

Thirdgen89GTA · (#90 (**permalink**))

Supposed to be hot again, 91*, though less humidity at 35% or so. Chance of rain......again....

If anyone has a real video camera that would be cool. I have one, but the battery is dead and won't take a charge. So a converter + extension cord might be workable.
