DHK Maximus Complete Rebuild - Overview

NOTE: In this video, I have posted a few links below to write-ups I have done on the various mods. I had to modify the location for several videos that were originally posted on the URC (Ultimate RC Forum) after it went out of business. The most-requested link that I moved was this one for how I mounted the larger diameter motor: http://www.preyerplanning.com/DHK-Max... If you need any advice on the Maximus, please let me know. I always write back. OVERVIEW I've had my DHK Maximus since February, 2014. After getting the initial electronic bugs resolved by installing my own electronics, the Maximus has been a lot of fun. It became a favorite basher, but I REALLY wanted a larger motor. I decided to completely tear it down and rebuild it better than before. I customized the motor mount enough to shoe-horn a 4074 Leopard motor in place. I made a lot of other changes, too. Some are totally custom while others are just improvements using optional upgrade parts. CUSTOM CHANGES Modified motor mount for 40mm diameter motor (was 36mm diameter) Doubled-up shock towers by cutting down stock towers and bonding them to another pair of stock shock towers Waterproofed the new Savox SC-1256TG servo Shimmed all play out of diffs and axles using shims as thin as 0.1mm Each pivot point was hand polished or reamed and dry lubed until a test fit gave zero resistance Raised the steering link to provide extra 1/2-inch clearance above the ESC wires Lowered the body posts so Velcro can hold the body on without clips UPGRADES TO STOCK PARTS Hobbywing EZRUN WP-SC8 120a non-sensored ESC Anderson PowerPole High Amp Connectors Omitted anti-sway bars to give more individual corner suspension flexibility for bashing 45T Steel Spur (was 45T plastic) 17T Hardened Aluminum Pinion (was 12T aluminum) Aluminum Differential Cases: Front, Mid and Rear New Diff Fluid: 5K front, 2.5Mil center, 100K rear Replaced all phillips screws with hex screws Replaced all stock bearings with Avid "Revolution" bearings Rebuilt shocks with hardened Ti-Ni shafts and 70wt oil Every screw into metal has blue Loctite Every screw into plastic has a dab of CA glue (works like Loctite) Aluminum clamping servo horn Aluminum rear lower A-Arms Aluminum C-Hubs Aluminum hub carriers front and rear Proline Road Rage street tires, 3.8-inch (40 series) Proline Desperado 1/2-inch offset wheels Hobbyking Trackstar TS4G Transmitter and Receiver -------------------------------------------- TUTORIAL FOR INSTALLING A LONGER (3674) MOTOR http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/non-cr... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T-BONE RACING BUMPER ADDITION TUTORIAL T-Bone Racing bumpers are the easiest way to provide much improved crash resistance. T-Bone Racing does not make bumpers specifically for the Maximus. However, they make bumpers for the Optimus XL that will fit the Maximus without modification. I use the larger "basher" bumpers: http://tboneracing.net/brands-a-m/dhk... I have a write-up with pictures in the forum link below on how to make the change. The first half of the write-up is on how to replace a broken stock bumper. Therefore, you can skip about half-way down to where I installed the T-Bone bumpers IN ADDITION to the new stock bumpers. It only takes 4 screws front and 4 screws rear: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/non-cr... ------------------------------------------------ VERY INEXPENSIVE UPGRADES FOR "MAX" VALUE Here is a write-up that I did on how to lower the body and replace problematic screws that want to back out of the plastic. The only cost is a bit of self-stick velcro and a few screws & nuts. With any luck, you already have both of these available to you: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/non-cr... --------------------------------------------------- WATERPROOFING A SERVO (SAFE AND EASY!) A lot of people are afraid to do this. I understand that because I used to be as well. After trying numerous methods, I settled on THIS one: Marine grease on top (gears) and Liquid tape on the bottom (circuit board). I did not make a video when I waterproofed mine. Rather, here is the video I used when I learned:    • How to waterproof a servo   NOTE 1: The circuit board on the bottom can also be sealed with shoe goo, pure silicone sealant, or any other non-conductive product. In fact, it doesn't have to be adhesive. You can put di-electric silicone grease in there and it works great. NOTE 2: For the gears on top, Udder Butter is not specifically required. It is a great product, but any other marine (waterproof) grease will work in its place.
