Suppose you could try VG's:

Surprised RC Raven hasn't come out with a set for it yet.
Yep, I noticed that too. Since I don't have a maxx, I was only able to look at images online and they all look black to me.
Found them I think:

Although, $18 for boots... or $18 for new cups...

Heavier weight springs typically have less coils of a thicker wire. Although, 1.210lb vs 1.450lb may be difficult to see a thickness difference without a micrometer.
What boots are those? I think I saw you post them before, but after looking at mine... I think I want to give boots/grease a try.
As a side note... the more I look at the maxx... the more I want one. lol!
I read the instructions for the "wide maxx kit" and it says to move the rear springs to the front, which would suggest they are differing strengths.

Well, it could be that the LVC is lower in the new esc.
Also could be that your LVC isn't kicking in so quick because the packs aren't as stressed, so they are allowed to run lower. When packs...
I had a similar issue on my slampede with the t-bone center shaft. Luckily, I believe it's solid aluminum vs a tube. In my head, I thought it was just rocks getting stuck there, but then someone...
When mine was nitro, I used to run 17mm adapters and 1/8th buggy wheels/tires. 1/8th buggy badlands hooked up well in the grass:...
Did you regear your truck or change tires, motor, esc or anything since the last time they charged "normal"?
Hoping mine make it through the summer running 4S 4074 2050kv through it in my slampede... :)
I'm not sure of the shaft size. Next time I have a cup off, I'll measure it. Tried checking the exploded view hoping there was a shim or something inside the diff on those shafts, but nope.
That...
Taller gearing will pull more amps, so it may actually heat up the motor, as well as the esc. But if you can keep your hand on it, it's not that hot yet. 125F+ is uncomfortable to touch for long.
Finally got a weight on them from @vogie563 today, 287 grams/10.12oz.
This is as good of an image I can find comparing them to tires I have:...
You would likely need to upgrade your diffs to have the i-bar in them with the diff cup with metal inserts for the x-pin as well as your slider axles and probably the center shaft.
I run 4S in my...
Yep, I wish more did it that way. Makes replacing diff bearings and shimming a lot easier too.
Well, the ez-peak dual is only a 2x4A/2x100W charger. So it should pretty much always take a little over an hour to charge a 5000mah pack from LVC. Unless you switch to high output mode and only use...
I'd seen that before, but couldn't find it again.
Would have saved me ordering the wrong outdrives for my stampede when I was upgrading the cups and adding the ibar internals.
Thanks!
Thank you. Any idea if the rim is 3.2 or 3.8 and the hub offset? They don't look offset, or at least not much. Also appear to be 3.2" bead, but I haven't seen them next to any other standard 1/8th MT...
I haven't messed with a t-maxx in 15 years. I just looked at the parts explosions to give you a hand.
I know back when I had one, the diff cups with plates and the i-bar didn't exist. Without...
Looking at the specs, it says 4S/6S. Do you know if in that video they had the stock vxl-6s esc?
I also see this in the manual for it:
If the component is found to be defective, it will be...
It looks like the current t-maxx does use the same internals as the revo, so you can use the older brushless revo internals at least.
The diff cup with the metal plates in it (3978), the spider...
It's likely fine if you gear it properly. People run into problems when they run one cell count, but want faster speeds and over gear things. Then it pulls too many amps and overheats the pack, esc...
Good to hear.
I know I pushed mine near it's fastest limit for gearing/weight/tires and where I drive. In the end, I just couldn't gear it for as fast as I wanted to run in the grass without...
