Hey count me in the club now i just got my e-maxx today it was a trade with another fellow but it came with the pro line kit and twister motors im likin it

CoastalTony: Man, I've got more questions for ya, as I have found out this weekend I can't race there with a .21 engine, so I've thought about the O.S. 15 CV-XR, since you run an O.S. 15Max on yours (truck), could you please tell me where you get all the mounting hardware & linkages or do you still use the stock stuff??????? I was then thinking if I get that engine to install the KHB E-Z start system, which is a direct fit for pull start engines to be used with the stock Traxxas E-Z starter!!! Thier web site is www.khbracing.com

I used the stock mounts & linkage.
Be carefull with stock linkage
I found out the hard way.
I was the first at the track to run a
T-Maxx.
Remember I race on an asphalt on-road
track. One day there was a large crowd
of spectators watching, and I like to
show off a little
bit(hehehe)
Anyway, while cutting the track down
to size (going OVER the pvc, and
curbs) (just having fun & jumping,
making the crowd roar), my truck
landed hard on the top of the body
(not a problem, the truck
usually bounces & rolls over):tire:
This time, the impact jammed the
throttle linkage down on the spur gear
(not good) The spur gear & throttle
linkage combo yanked the throttle WIDE
open (worse)
My truck was sitting up-side down,
running full throttle, in 2nd
gear:cry: :o #hi#
Anyway, long story short
If you use a rotary carb get a linkage
reverse kit.
Or better, put a slide carb on it, and
get slide carb linkage

I looked at the link you posted.
They have a lot of cool stuff, but I
still use the pull-start. One pull,
and a well tuned engine fires right up:deathstar

CoastalTony:Cool, thanks again!!!!!!! :blush: :blush: :blush:

what you guys think of the t-maxx conversion for the e-maxx, is it worth it?

I don't really know anything about it, but Nitro is where it's at (in my opinion!!!!);) :nod:

:spidey:
I would leave the E & T's the way Traxxas built them.
Any other opinions?
It is a bit of work to do a swap, and the price of a used one does not justify the conversion

I agree!!!!

damn ok i guess i gotta buy a t-maxx now too then...


is it possible to buy that conversion kit and then piece together a whole kit?

I don't know of any conversion kit! I would say you're prolly better off to just buy an Whole New kit (T-Maxx), it is a major headache to do something like that, not to mention you could get rather far into & then figure out some things are not compatible!!! I was thinking about converting my extra XXX-S into a new & improved XXX-4, but got to thinking some of the things just don't line up (Shock towers, turnbuckles, Body, & etc.....)!!!! Just my opinion;) , I would save the headache & just get a T-Maxx or try to get one used!!!!!!:D

CoastalTony: I guess I'm gonna get that O.S. 15 CV-XR off of that web site I told you about, it's a pullstart!!

New Jack
Good engine
If you get an engine with a slide
carb, I can get you a killer slide
carb linkage kit fr your truck.
:cool:

CoastalTony: I'm not sure if it is available with a slide carb.:confused: :weird: :confused: !!! I hope it does though, that's what I have on my MP 7.5 & XXX-NT engines!!!!!:D :D :D

CoastalTony: What type shaft engine is on the T-Maxx (haven't tore it down yet to find out), the reason I ask is because that engine I told you that I want is a Standard Shaft only!!! I hope it is not a Pilot Shaft engine!!!!!:confused: :weird: :confused:

New Jack
Standard shaft

SWWWWEEEEEEEEEETTTTT!!!!!!! :nod: :nod: :nod:
