Yeah, I'm going to tell them if i can't race at all the races this year, SEE YA!!! I've put too much money in my cars to alternate with the other person that races at the store of who goes to the races and who doesnt.

Bingo... I'm at that point. I'm accually calling another guy in about 5 minutes, see if i can swap days and work Sat., If i can't... I may not be there.... I also have spent too much to have it restrict me in my racing..

There is another race in late January that i don't have off for... and i won't be at work... nomatter what...

If all else fails, you could always use the world famous excuse and tell them that you are "sick"

oops....sorry Modena!!!

Ya, the EVX ESC won't handle anything like that. Just swap out the ESC for a good LRP or Novak unit....you won't be disappointed. The power is pretty crazy....

Ok, thanks TPhalen. don't want to fry a perfectly good speedo control. I'm thinking twin super roosters or twin TC2s!!!!

The EVX isn't made for regular motors... i think on the package it says MotorLimit - 550 + or something to that effect... I remember the guy i work with joking about that.

Twin TC2's would be cool, but i would go with SuperRoosters to still have reverse ( and reverse lockout option ).

Yeah, super roosters are cool....but they are sooooooooo big!!! Maybe when i take out the two speed servo there will be more room to put them

What wt. shock oil do the shocks have in them? What if i increased it to....say 60 wt. would that help it absorb big jumps better, like the one that broke my shocktower, and prevent that from happening again. What does everyone think?

TPhalen: I just got the Super Rooster. Currently I'm running the stock twin Titan 550 motors in parallel to the Super Rooster running on 1 pack (6cell). I haven't tried 12-cells yet. How do I wire them??? This is my idea but haven't (still afraid) to try: Parallel the 550 motors (as connected to my SR) and series the two packs (to get 12 cells)??? Wouldn't I fry my S/R since it says 7-10 cells limit. Also please suggest pinions to use. Thanks.

I also have this ESP E/T-Maxx alum. bumper and headlight kit. The instructions say to use a 9V battery however the lights are very DIM. Any recommendation???

What would be the correct way to connect the steering linkages and rear toe linkage? When I got my E-Maxx, whenever I compress (push down) on the suspension, both front and rear increases camber as the suspension compresses. Also, what wt. shock oil you recommend? Any suggestion?

Thanks to all!

I think that you have to use two superroosters. Novak used to make a combo that had two roosters and a y-adapter...but they discontinued it when the came out with the new EVX. I heard somewhere that if you want to use more cells than recomened, that you can prevent the speedo from frying by using a reciver pack.

Ok....

Impulsive: First off, dump the 550 motors. They are only good using the 14.4v system. They will run but you will get TONS of runtime and no power. With the SR, try (to start) a pair of stock motors. You will see a huge power increase over the 550's. Up your motors from there. An 'inside source' from Novak said the SR WILL handle pretty fast motors (his recommendation no lower than 13's) and 12 cells, but be careful of the gearing. It will fizzle if you overdo it.

Headlight kit. Ummm, well, I don't know. You could try a AA setup, using the 4-AA receiver pack setup. ???? Just don't know on this one....

Camber compression. Sorry, that's the design on this truck. There is nothing you can do with the stock truck to fix that. Now, on the other hand, the new Pro-Line suspension has the correct geometry built in to fix that problem. Try picking one of these up....

Shock oil: Depends on what yer gonna do with it. I run 80wt with AE Red springs. I will be changing this setup this season to 60-70 weight and using a DUAL TC spring setup. This will allow a progressive suspension setup....I'll let ya know how it works!!!

Modena's suggestion is actually the better one. I run a dual ESC setup with 2 8x2's and 18 cells. It's, ummm, plenty fast...

TPhalen: Thank you very much for the advices. You mean I gotta get twin stock motors similar to Trinity P2Ks, Paradoxes, GM3s??? And use only a single battery pack???

OK... I could get two P2Ks... then how do I wire them? If I use 12-cells, running the P2Ks in parallel with the SR would fry the motors. Please elaborate?! If from my current set-up I try the 12-cell wiring, is it good enough to bash other Maxxes with the stock EVX/Titan set-up??? 'Coz changing the Titan motors would void my joining into E-Maxx races here in Manila. Also, what pinions should I use? Thanks.

Dual SR's is the better setup. And, I was only saying twin stock motors will give you better and easier power to start with, then up the power. The twin stock motors was just a suggestion to start with.

Of course, all this is mute if you can't race with anything other than the Titan motors....

...and, just received my new Xtreme chassis today! Thing looks awesome (wish I had a digicam to take some pix!!!) I'm installing it tonite....I'll have to let you know how this things works!!! It's supposed to be one of the better chassis setups for the E.

do they have a website? I would like to see it before I invest in the Hardcore chassis.
