I just got a hobbico maxtrax wedge off ebay. I was wondering if any one runs or has these anymore. I bought it because i drooled over the magazine adds for it when i was a kid. The transmissom in it looks pretty neat. I wonder if the gears are a hobbico maxtrax brand or they from another manufacturer. I know the wheel and tires are by kyosho. Well any info would be great, thanks

back a few years ago Larry Edwards madeup two of these to run but you have to put the transmission together backwards with the axle thru the last hole and then you have to add a new motor position forward of the tranny....they are not normal gears I think they are modular or metric if it has bushings it needs bearings and probably might work in 10# truck class if it fits or bartire sportsman if it don't you might have to cut it dwon to get into 10# truck though.

the motor would be behind the axle and it is a bad place to put weight..... you can do what you want but the axle was hole 1 closest to the front of the chassis the gears were #2 & #3 with the motor last........ this change will also move the axle back to where it would be in a good pulling design closest to the hitch.
