kyosho maxxum ff
 

i have just got my kyosho maxxum . fresh from 1988 reckon im gonna build it tweak it make some bits and race it. :thumbsup:
has any of you guys ever had one of these. what advice have you got
and will the gearbox take brushless.....hope so
this car is still in the box in blister packs so i want to build it right and do any mods needed
cheers

had a maxxum, dont put too much power in, it will just wheelspin it away. moved the battery further forward on mine which helped a bit. was great fun on a high grip track and useless on low grip due to wheelspin enduced understeer. also thick grease in the diff to make it quite stiff worked well, mine had mugen diff grease in.

One of my pals ran one of these in the day for a bit, and they were a nice piece of kit, but as the previous post, probably not worth going for anything quicker than stock class motor, maybe a 10.5 or something, because I doubt you'll get the power down, be a laugh trying though and that's what it's all about.:thumbsup:

cool stock brushed system or 10 turn brushless it is. reckon i gonna use saddles not stick packs in it. make some carbon bits to.ff sounds like my sort of script. nice one guys

Johnny - You still got a sensorless system kicking about, Ezrun or something like that? If so that, and ones of the finned type motors in 10 or 12T would be ideal. Not too much torque as thats what is going to prove a problem.
Also remember no slipper on a Maxxum.
