If Tex can't do it I will...I'm almost done with Rob's...whats one more??
Hey obsessive, hows that Sirio .23 pulling that maxx? Im thinking about one for my maxx.
Sorry for the hijack
Killer so far...mad bottom end, won't rev out like the 2.5R did for top end...but the low and mid make up for it
Sweet!!! My sirio .18 is just not doing it for me,I need more power!! Gonna try a 18th or 22th clutch bell, we'll see how that goes.

More power where... top or bottom?? I had a Sirio .18 also and wasn't all that impressed, but I've been told it needs more fuel run through it to "wake it up" they supposedly don't "come alive" until after the 1 gallon mark.
I would love if ORC wanted to fix up your maxx TTTM2. I have no time to throw at a project like that. I was just going to squeeze it in and stay up late at night.
LMK Obsessive if that will work. I'm not trying to cut out on what i told you I would do for you TTTM2, I was simply trying to help out a fellow RCer where needed.
It's cool...I've got the time and I don't mind helping out.
It's gonna be tight for Berwyn...but if its not too messed up it'll be ready.
TTTM2, hopefully you didn't ship it yet????
Thanks ORC! That really relieves alot of extra stress off me right now.
Haven't reached the the gallon mark yet,about 3 more tanks to go. Maybe thats it!

I got mine with two quarts on it...and had to run another full quart through it idling, and another full quart w/ break-in driving style, then it was finally starting to tune and show some bottom end power.
Now it sits in the box :p:

Thats just wrong
What size clutchbell where you using?

How's that working out for you? I need to invest in some clutch bells,
Im running 20/72 myself
maxximum_44 Wrote:How's that working out for you?
last I used it, I was getting tons of wheelies still, but they were way more controllable compared to 20/72.
No ondemand wheelies for my Sirio.18 just when the suspension was stiff(and thats only coming out of corners). Since "the Devry bash" i've lowered it some and lightend her up alittle.Now it stays on all fours (for the most part),just got to fine tune and well go from there.
Hey Dan...got it today. Completely torn down and cleaned. Your gonna need a few things.
Just need to know how far you want to go with rebuilding it.
So far here is a list of what you need...
- new clutch
- new clutch bell (teeth are pretty chewed up)
- new diff bearings F&R
- new bevel gears (still useable but very worn / minor chips)
- (2) knuckle bearings
Findings so far:
The pillow balls were binding and the steering assembly needs work. There was some kind of nylon string or something wrapped around the front axle behind the hex that smoked your bearing. Something in your center CVD's was really binding up. I'll have to figure that out during re-assembly. The way you shocks are set up, they severly limit your suspension travel. It's fine if you want it slammed for on road, but big jump bashing will probably bust your shock ends. I'd change those springs also, and go with a bit heavier oil. LMK how you plan to use it. That way I can set it up when I put it back together.
I am going to use it as a pure basher, some various jumping and high speed runs. I am planning on going to Leisure in february to race rob 1 on 1, but thats way far in the distance. Glad to know you got it. How much should I bring to the bash?
Hey, can I call you up, it would be easier to talk this way
I fired it up tonight...too bad I don't have your radio gear, this thing rips!!! Engine sounds killer!!
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME
I will be there tomarrow with your $$$$$$$$MONEY$$$$$$$$$$! Ill get there around 10ish. I will be wearing a maxxtraxx shirt.
