X-Maxx mod 1.5 Unbreakable gears Install & Slipper Eliminator, Huge X-Maxx motor upgrade..

Today we install some mod 1.5 gears with slipper eliminator in my xmaxx, motor used is the Leopard Hobby 58113 1050 kv.. its a beast!!!!!
Gear ratio is 25t Pinion and 35t Spur..
After running for 20 mins constant the motor was only warm to the touch, Ambient air temp was around 17'c..
I will monitor the motors temp and if i need to i will add fans..

[@raymondhenson5648]

Now that's a upgrade!! Im about upgrade my xmaxx too now..... Thanx 4 sharing

when my gears break I know whats going in lol love it bro

[@dazfx]

Hmmm, I wouldn't be happy with half the pinion touching the spur gear. Personally, I would be inclined to mod the motor mount or find another alternative. I'm guessing you have had no problems though as those gears are knarly as funk, the motor is a beast!

@@alfredocanto9901 hiya buddy, the slipper eliminator is simply made up of a standard shaft, everything stripped off apart from the bearings and flat spots ground on the end for the grub screws to grab. This motor will run upto 12s but I find 6s to be the sweet sport as its so powerful, also the ESC is a hobbywing max5. I've now gone over to a belt drive system and I much prefer it to the gears.

[@nitetrain7136]

Hey Jay Awesome upgrades. Can you or anyone help with some questions I have . Man are them gears Monsters. I’m still learning about these Xmaxx’s and upgrades. I’m just now finding out that my tiny piss ant stock pinion gear set screw isn’t even touching the motor shaft, so nothing holds the gear on anymore. I just recently launched my Maxx off a skate park ramp probably a good 10 ft plus and it crashed nose first and that’s when I heard things slipping and not engaging. I also busted my steering bell crank. I’m guessing these Monster gears are only for these big powerful upgraded motors like the Castle and Leopards? I would like to get rid of my Xmaxx and buy a new one to start over with and put some bad ass upgraded power parts in it. Do you recommend putting dual cooling fans on the stock escs or are they for aftermarket larger escs? And the same question for dual motor fans? What are the brand of them huge pinion and spur gears? How much would a person be looking at to run that kind of motor, Esc, and gears set up? Or what Pinion/spur gear set up would you recommend for a stock motor? Thanks

[@jaypearce6199]

Hey dude, the stock set up in the xmaxx is pretty weak all around to be honest, my first upgrade was a traxxas 18tooth hardened pinon gear and one of the GPM 50 tooth hardened spur gears, i found that gearing and combo was fantastic and they took alot of abuse, there is a guy here in the U.K who sell belt drive systems and larger gear systems to work with stock motor set ups, the Facebook page is called 'WHEEL HOBBIES X MAXX performance parts' give the guy a message hes real nice to deal with, i got my latest belt drive system from 'Allday' rc but have already had issues so i wouldnt bother. As for coolig fans the mote you can use the better! However the stock esc is known to be junk so i would look at hobbywing max6 as a replacement, or if you plan to upgrade the motor later go straight for the max 5..

[@nicethelyrical1529]

I was looking forward to ordering these in mod 1.5 gears but now I'm not sure. Almost seems pointless, by the looks of it the tooth alignment was almost off half the gear!?

I was hoping it was just a bad camera angle, I would absolutely like to see a better pic of that set installed. I'm tired of throwing money away on traxxas gears as I've shattered 4 traxxas 46 tooth spurs.
