E Maxx question
 

Are Robertson Racing slipper clutches good products ?What about a roll cage for e maxx worth while

RR slipper set-up is leaps and bounds over the stock slipper.. I have it on my maxx.. Would recommend it 100 times over... Mine was like $27 through Tower Hobbies...

you mean robinson racing? yea i use all robinson gears and slipper on my t maxx. :nod: yes get a cage from rcraveninc on ebay. just type in e maxx cage.

O' to be a newb! lol "Robertson RACING" :D;) I was new once myself. But the RR products Ive used where top notch. Been running stock slipper in my Maxx BE since day one. No issues

Robinson Racing stuff is freakin great. I've got a ton of pinions made by them, and a Gen3 Slipper in my Maxx. Awesome stuff.

i agree 100% i have all robinson gears in my front & rear diffs, the robinson all steel tranny kit, robinson 58t spur gear, robinson slipper, robinson heavy duty slipper back plate, robinson 22t clutch bell, robinson flywheel. :eek: i love there products! :nod:

I just built a emaxx with rr gen3 slipper and it is louder than I expected. How tight should I go on the spur? Truck is "jumping" from a stop with little throttle. Any ideas? Thanks.

I set mine up to be as tight as I'd need in order to wheelie from a stop, but not enough to backflip. It's pretty tight.

If your truck is jumpy at low throttle, can you turn your motor over by hand, or does it sort of magnetically click as you turn it? My motor has a real stiff, chunky turn to it, so it's loud and "clicky" at low speeds.

The gen3 slipper is loud. The metal rings. Nothing you can do about it.

The motor is very hard to turn by hand and it does have a click to it. Is that normal for the emaxx mamba brushless? Thanks for the advice.

Normal. It'll soften over time, but that's just how some Brushless motors are. My two blue-can Kershaw motors (4 Pole) are really stubborn like that, whereas the Leopard in my Muggy is smooth as hell.

I was curious as to what causes it, Wikipedia calls it Cogging (No Current) Torque. Looks like lower pole motors will have a more pronounced case of it, as well as having a lot to do with construction. Though it's very clearly presented, more cogging torque = higher running motor torque. Not really too bad of a thing. :)

Stick with plastic. A lot more forgiving in crashes than aluminum unless you just want a show truck.

not a show truck so rpm stuff?even bulkheads?

Not sure about bulkheads but stuff like arms and shock towers stick with plastic.

i understand why they are telling you plastic, but as you become a better driver get what you like. i havent broke anything on an RC car in a few years and almost every one of my cars gets the full metal treatment.
