That was me. I had a 2250 and it was awesome. If you was to go with a 2280 and like 12s lipo. I think you would run 100. I was going to try for 80 mph. I found the truck didn't like the power as much as i did. As far as speed controller. Schulze has the 40.160. That take about 12s I would guess.

So the schulze should be good for what I wanna do? If it goes on fire, serum gets the pic first :005:

even the best of e-maxx differencials probably wouldn't stand a chance against a 3080. thats just rediculis! the speed on a smart car would even hit amazing speeds it it was twin powerd and water cooled. then i wouldn't amagine the power of a 3080 in a maxx!!!!!

darren, your crazy, a 2280 is out the story and your doubleing the power. you motor mount should be atleast 5-7MM thick!
lol

cant you remove the brushless shaft and atach it onto a lathe and reduce the shaft size from 10mm to a 5mm? i dont think that it would weaken it if you only reduse the shaft a bit.

That may be a good idea, since I wont be using the motors torque for crazy acceleration.

If mike can make the motormount, i'll happily buy from him. I'd get it about 8mm thick.

If Mike can't get the motor mount made to your specification, I've been using various angle aluminum for motor mounts with good results. In my Jato (Mamba Max 4600) I use 3mm thick, in my Revo (Wanderer 10XL) I use 5mm thick. For that motor, 8 or 9mm is definitely needed. What about this (6.35mm) or this (9.5mm)? Of course, you'd have to cut it to size and trim the excess for weight.

instead of my 2280, I was goin' to get the 3080, but then .. I thought.. too much.. and it probably would be too much.. a 4 lb motor.. hahaah.. I did try sticking my 2280 directly to my rear diff on my E-maxx.. the motor handled it no problem.. @ Fine designs there's a cat with twin 3080... that's nuts.. I guess he only esc for it are the 40.160wk.. (I had two of these at one time) but the 3080 is definately an overkill.. but I really would like to see someone do this... C'mon.. YOU CAN DOOOOeeeeT!!!!

I was slightly inspired when I seen your truck. I though, I need some overkill!:018:

What was top speed like with the direct drive?

Brain, that stuff looks like it would be good, i'd definetly have to make a rear motor support, though that metal helps alot.

So, to find some 10mm pinions.

I think with this motor, the spur gear will be smaller than the pinion.

I think if you connect the 3080 to the rear diff. It would pull it even better than aqwuts did. If I want a 3080 I would try it. You need almost or some kind of direct drive system. I wouldn't worry with a trans for sure. maybe get you a center diff and mount the motor to it with a fat pinion gear.
35 to 46 tooth or so. Would have to push alot of rpm to get 100 mph.

Like the dude said earlier.... your gears won't last.. if you have cvds.. it will snap them... your diffs won't last either.. I've already fried my rear Spyder 8 dffs.... You'd need some custom cvds from rcalloys... 10mm shafts.. It shouldn't be to hard to make a rear support....... it's pretty easy.. I have to pretty up my e-maxx so it will bling like candymans and Serums... do it man... I'd love to see that 3080 run.. but man. it's gonna be crazy expensive for the upkeep....

oh yea.. it would definately pull better coolhand... that would just be amazing to see..... I'd love to see it... i wish i had a lathe and a mill .... or maybe just more time...... what about four 3080 powering each tire directly.. hahahhaha that's would be hilarious.... maybe I'll try it with some xls.... but with very very low kv rating.... :)

This is funny in my opinion Darren, you once got a kick from your HVmaxx, i can't imagine, that all of a sudden, you are that powerhungry. Remember where you want to put your money, in showing a truck that you can't drive at WOT?

Showing a truck that's faster than most touring cars :005: .

Believe it :027: .Speed gets old very quickly. My 9XL even on 20 cells, has become, though quick, very boring.

aqwut, it's only gonna be run for 2 straight runs on each outing, the other thing to remeber is that I am not going to use the motors power on accelerating, i will slowly take it up to its top speed, that way, drivetrain suffers less.

This wont be my main truck, i'll still have my supermaxx.

if you do this i wanna see pictures! aslong as it isn't out of my pocket im down cool with it :D

You must have a hell of a paper round to afford it, thats all i can say.
