Fantastic Build brother and a great test 👍 I meant to say in a previous video that I noticed you got the Arrma Granite Wheels 👍 seems to be fine with them 🙏 am happy everything is running ok 👌 have a fantastic weekend my good Freind 👍🥰🇺🇲🇬🇧🥰👍
I am also looking at a set of huge Arrma wheels on Horizon.com. they are like 8inches in diameter.!! They will be INSANE. I am thinking monster truck with these big wheels. Keep you posted..!!
Very soon.!! Turns out my stock EMAXX wheels may hold up to the current gearing. If so, the truck will go even faster than the last video. Keep you posted.!!
You don't necessarily have to ho all MAX10. Two inexpensive brushless setups will really make a difference. The beefed up drivetrain is a must tho. You will want to spend the money there. But I did a cheap setup first and for ⅓ of the money. Just to make sure that it worked. I picked up a brushless setup for 45$ each. The MAX10s were like 185 each when I had them, and that was a couple years ago. The sound the dual brushless makes is totally worth it, even the cheaper setup. 😊
It was a lot faster.!! This setup was nuts. It wheelied at 60mph. It had too much power for the construction of the truck itself. I have been doing the RC thing for over 20 years and I was scared of this one. Everytime I pulled the throttle over half way it took flight, landed on its head and did cartwheels for 50 feet. I tried everything to tame the beast but I failed. I even went to two wheel drive and still was unstable. From roam tires to dBoots, nothing would do it. It was a hell of a ride but I accomplished nothing. The best part about it was the sound the two 120 Amp ESCs made at speed. It was and still is like nothing I had ever heard. Really appreciate your great comment. I could talk about this rig all day. It still haunts me in my sleep... 🥺👻
Awesome video,, love your enthusiasm!Have you opened the differentials? What weights are you using in the front and rear diffs.? The BL power is so much smoother on 100k F and 200K R w/HR aluminum cups and new ceramic BBs. I have a monster BL single can Emaxx 3903 and a cherry vintage 3906 that's asking for a dual BL upgrade. May copy your setup on the cans and maybe use a dual output speed controller.
Wow, many thanks for all the love on this.!! Believe it or not, stock diffs.!! Just an aluminum front bulkhead, Traxxas driveshafts in the center as well as all four corners. The only other customized parts are the shocks that I shortened by Inserting nitro gas line pieces in their barrels. And if course the motors and ESCs. You are more than welcome to copy and or change any of this. It's an insane amount of power. I am pretty sure I was running twin 26 tooth pinions too. 😃
No, I'm afraid not. These are meant for a 10th scale rig. That's why there are two of them. You would need one of the much larger cans if you are gonna run a single. Take a look at the motors for the XMAXX. This will also require a new motor bracket. Traxxas carries all of these parts for this conversion. You may also want to take a look at the later versions of the EMAXX. They are large single can setups. Hope this helps. 😁
Hey, I've got a question my emax rear wheels are not pulling, I feel no slipping at the transmission, I took the diff out and it looks good, but when I turn it put together, sometimes it catches and sometimes it don't.what could that be, thanks for your time
That's a tough one without being able to look at it. Sounds like it could be some teeth missing somewhere... or possibly the slipper clutch if it has one. If it does, I would tighten the nut to the slipper clutch. This would be closer to the motor. Or motors depending on the model. If you don't have a manual with the schematics then I would go to Traxxas.com and hunt it down. You can also take a look at the rest of your rig without tearing it down. Cause if your diffs look good, it has to be somewhere. Sorry I can't be any more help...
Turns out there are giand plastic grub screws in the axle carriers themselves. They actually press firmly on the axle bolts that attach to the a-arms top and bottom. I had not noticed them until I purchased the new set of carriers. Bad news is, the giant grub screws are not included with the new carriers and you will have to purchase them separately. They are included in an accessory package with the rubber boots that cover the axle carrier bolts. Good news is that I now have extra carriers which do break from time to time. Many thanks for the great question.!
@@DizzyDsvids2Please I did, and it was great. I am hoping to magically aquire a wheelie bar soon. Then I will be able to wheelie like you.! "I have a wheelie bar on the way from an awesome friend out of Canada." I am very excited. Many thanks for the great comment.!
Going to need them for sure... I am having trouble getting my hands on a set of 14mm to 17mm hex adapters... these will be a mandatory upgrade for the wheels that I want. I am wanting a set of Linutless stock wheels... 17mm hex though...
@@AMAZINGRC I just got Traxxas 14 to 17mm hubs from Rcsuperstore. They are still in stock. www.rcsuperstore.com/traxxas-anodized-wheel-hubs-hex-kit-17mm-4-t-maxx-3-3-4wd-nitro-monster-truck/
No, not at all. I just kept an eye on things to make sure one of them wasn't getting abnormally warmer than the other. I also tested this setup with a much cheaper set first. Everything worked perfectly is both setups.!!
Transmitter does not matter. You need to split the signal from the receiver to the ESCs. You need a two to one adapter. This will allow you plug both of your ESCs into one receiver port. You can make the adapter if you have the parts and a soldering iron. Hope this helps. 😎🏎
@@DJ-TBW yes, one battery to each ESC. Each ESC, Battery, motor and pinion gear MUST be identical. If not each side will fight each other. You will run the risk of damage. Also pay attention to each motor and ESC for temp spikes. If one motor is way hotter, it's an indication that something is wrong.
No. I actually split the ESC receiver lead from the receiver. Turned one into two. Then I ran two separate systems. 2 ESCs and 2 batteries. 1 receiver.
Hey what do you guys recommend on diffs. I like to jump and I absolutely love the emaxx but it takes out diffs like mad. If you could put a link I would appreciate it
WOW, thank you for trusting our opinion here. Only bad news is that I have not had to swap out my diffs yet... I immediately went on the hunt for the parts, knowing that I too will need a new diff set soon as well. This is where things start to get really scary. I CANT FIND ANYTHING.!!! I am going to keep looking and if I do find something I will hit you back. Furthermore, if you run across something on your end, please let us know. Our goal with this build is 100MPH... OFFROAD.!! Really appreciate the cool question, hope to talk again soon. 🤜🤛😎🏎🚀
2 things singe motor over dual and difference in perfrmance?? and bigger hevier wheells would need a massive motor then cos i hve jumbokong wheels 8.5" bad boys so i need bigger motor for this then??
Bro I’m blown away at the power you are getting. I am with you, I think this car will do the 100… totally capable.
I cant wait.!! I just know this car will do 100.!!

Yeah it was a fun build to follow. THanks Brian.
Many thanks my friend.! I am very happy this far in its story. Much more to come.!!! Thanks again Nick.!
Can’t wait for the next speed run video!
Very soon.!! Turns out my stock EMAXX wheels may hold up to the current gearing. If so, the truck will go even faster than the last video. Keep you posted.!!
Just got one can’t wait came with a grave digger body
I miss mine so much.!! I just know that you will love yours. Good luck and have fun.!!
I want to build this so bad. Maybe if I am ever not poor I can beef up my drivetrain on mine and get the brushless motors and esc

This is 240 amps of pure power!!!! Amazing for sure!!!!💪💪💪💪💪
It's crazy how much power is in this truck.!!
unbelievable , it doesn't wheelie ? I would've thought with two 3200kv motor it would've been alot faster, but very cool
It was a lot faster.!! This setup was nuts. It wheelied at 60mph. It had too much power for the construction of the truck itself.

Very nice.!! I bet it rips.!!
Insane
I'm jacked
Extremely beautiful video 😍👍
Very good info Brian!

Hi friend awesome camera
Great runs congrats buddy
That’s cool!!!!!!
Bro I'm super excited.!! This is a 100mph car.! I just know it.!!
LOVE THIS CAR
Bro thanks.!! This Rig is gonna be crazy fast.!!
Wooww, great motor.
Amazing RC car 👍
I have a emax with the twin 550's and I'd like to upgrade it will just one of these 3200kv motors be fast enough?

Nice power! Now you can try to make 3 motors running EMAXX LOL!!!!!!
I think three motors is totally possible... I am going to get the most out of these two first. I really think I have a 100mph car with two...
@@AMAZINGRC so that means to have 3 ESCs to run 3 motors. Insane!
Please do some more videos but not with on board camera! 🙏🏻 I like to see the truck.
It sounded like more power👍👍💯💯
Man this is cool
I am very excited.!!
Cool info and awesome build

Weird.!! This happens to me quite a bit. I also have to resubscribe to some of my favorite channels. CZcams can be a little buggy sometimes...

First!
LOL, yes you are.!!!

Any particular reason for the 3200kv vs a lower kv?
Not really... this was the kv of the motors. I really wanted MAX10 BRUSHLESS motors and this is what was available. You could totally go lower. 👍🏎😃
I got my emaxx runing 2 2050kv with 34t pinion and a 46t pinion super crazy fast runing all that on 4s still havent tried to go 6s
I bet it's a BEAST.!!
Its pretty hard to controll iven with gyro on but for me its super worth it
Hi, did you do anything different to make sure the motors where completely in sync? Thanks
No, not at all. I just kept an eye on things to make sure one of them wasn't getting abnormally warmer than the other. I also tested this setup with a much cheaper set first. Everything worked perfectly is both setups.!!
@@AMAZINGRC thanks, going to try make a dual motor traxxas slash 4x4
Swapping motors and esc did you keep your original traxxas transmitter and controller? How did you make two esc run on one transmitter?
Transmitter does not matter. You need to split the signal from the receiver to the ESCs. You need a two to one adapter. This will allow you plug both of your ESCs into one receiver port. You can make the adapter if you have the parts and a soldering iron. Hope this helps. 😎🏎
@@AMAZINGRC I can’t stop watching your videos I just inherited an emaxx and has dual motors brushed but this is what I want
@@AMAZINGRC how did you wire the two batteries to esc? One battery per esc or what?
@@DJ-TBW yes, one battery to each ESC. Each ESC, Battery, motor and pinion gear MUST be identical. If not each side will fight each other. You will run the risk of damage. Also pay attention to each motor and ESC for temp spikes. If one motor is way hotter, it's an indication that something is wrong.
@@AMAZINGRC any and all suggestions and advice I’m listening I’m excited. Your loads of help and I appreciate your replies
Did you remove a power wire from one esc
No. I actually split the ESC receiver lead from the receiver. Turned one into two. Then I ran two separate systems. 2 ESCs and 2 batteries. 1 receiver.
