Default Re: Tranmission E Maxx?

I have put the E-MAX trans in a Tamiya truck and had the front axle powered as well. It does fit well with just a little trimming of the trans or the frame, I just shaved a little off of the trans. On 7.2V with the biggest spur and smallest pinion the speed in first and second is acceptable. The biggest downfall is the amount of space it takes up in the cab. Now if you're planning to do this you will need punisher drive shafts and hardened pinions for the axles. It is your truck so build it how you want but I would recommend the RC4WD R2 2 speed it is a much better fit and it is super quiet.

I know the old Emaxx gearbox put into an Tamiya TXT-1 doubles it's speed... that's why Mine never had one put into it... and just over 5 Kilos coming at you at 25 Miles an hour isn't something I'd be fond of...

same setup in a Tamiya semi would be asking for trouble... I dunno though the smaller wheels and tyres might slow it down enough... would have to go for the smallest pinions you can go though like someone else said...
