The E-MAXX Car – a Little Insight (Part 1)

The E-Maxx is a radio controlled ( R/C ), 1/10 scale, electric powered, 4-wheel drive, monster truck produced by Traxxas Corporation. When it comes to gut-wrenching, wheelie-popping monster torque, nothing comes close to E-Maxx! Twin Titan 550 motors, trick 14.4V ESC power, 3-channel radio system, ball bearings, 8 oil-filled shocks, painted body and shift on the fly 2-speed transmission all put the E-Maxx in a class by itself. E-maxx is the best, most innovative, hobby quality monster truck. It comes as completely assembled and the body is painted and trimmed.

While running the E-Maxx for the first time it important to totally check over the truck for loose screws, nuts, wire connections and bolts. It is also a good idea to check the model over after a few runs to make sure nothing has come loose from driving. It should be made sure that the pinion grub screws are tight and that the pinions do not slide on the motor armatures. The slipper clutch nut should be tightened fully. It is located on top of the spur gear spring, which is located between the pinion gears. The bullet motor connections should be tightly pushed together. The servo and ESC wires should also be fully pushed into the receiver the truck may function erratically. Another reason to make the truck function erratically is if the crystal and radio crystal are not fully pushed into their slots. Also, If sand gets inside ESC this can also make E-Maxx function erratically.
