just had another awesome off-road racing with our E-maxx's. Getting them fast does not give you an insurance of winning. have been up-garding some of the parts to make it tough and fast nevertheless i suffered a DNF on my 2nd heat of the mains. guess what, my rear diff cup was damaged.:cry::cry: Now i have to get a new one.:sweat: thinking of the aluminun diff cup. As the truck goes fast with all those monster power i believe up-grading diffs and tranny are to be considered.

Same here, using a Kimbrough Gas Car/Truck Servo Saver. A proline racing servo saver is another good option.

hay everyone, i need to know what shock oil works best in the e-maxx for all-around bashing (jumps, turns, etc.). i redid my shocks and i put tooo light of shock oil in (60 in front, 80 in back :blush::smile::rolleyes:).

lmk. thanks.

streetracer745 08-05-2007 09:42 PM

considering your using 60 80 and its too light.... i would recomend 90-100 front and back. if thats too light then you have issues... haha. i use 100 front and back in my terra crusher which is a rediculously heavy truck and it works good

xxx-ntad2 racer 08-05-2007 10:38 PM

i guess it's not too bad. i don't know if the dynamite shocks make a difference or not on how easy it is to bottom it out.

streetracer745 08-06-2007 08:29 AM

when you say bottom out, you mean like chassis slap right? well how high is it when the chassis first starts to slap against the ground? i mean you dont want suspension that is so stick it cant take the bumps, but you dont want it so soft that it cant take a jump either. actually my brother just rebuilt his stock e-maxx shocks. the factory ones, and he put 50 weight oil in them and it does great. its a good combo of stiffness for jumps and soft for runing on the rough.

xxx-ntad2 racer 08-06-2007 12:23 PM

i think it's my shock springs. i think im going to try harder springs and see how that works. i got my e-maxx used and it came with dynamite after market shocks with some type of sliver spring (i don't know tension).

Hi guys, having hard time looking for a replacement for my Emaxx diff cup. any body here tried using spool for there rear diff?:sweat: how is it? how does it differ from the original diff in terms of handling?

tnx...

do all six wheels turn when you hit the gas or is it only 4 wheel drive? thats a cool ride!

OTE_TheMissile 08-13-2007 06:51 PM

Thanks! Nope, the "Silverado Slammer" is true honest-to-God 6x6. Not a "floater" axle, no extra motor. The center diff housing is machined aluminum with an input and an output, so the rear axle drives off the center and the rest of the E-Maxx drivetrain.

I won't make another big long schpiel about it like I always do, so check out the truck's profile on my site for more info: Silverado Slammer on fivetwentyfour

xxx-ntad2 racer 08-13-2007 08:47 PM

sweet!!! are the front blue shock springs a speical preload spring? it looked like the ends where normal but the middle was widden out. lmk. thanks.

OTE_TheMissile 08-14-2007 06:13 AM

The front shock setup looks funny because I've got a pair of Trinity Blue springs pushed together on each stock coil-over shock. That's because behind those is a PowerStroke Bypass shock, which doesn't have a spring. It's hack, but so's spending another $60 on the fancy aluminum coil-overs Pro-Line offered with the bypasses (I'm not one of Pro-Line's biggest fans).

It's half basher, half show truck. I pretty it up but at the same time I try not to spend money just for the sake of spending money on it.
