Any true HV controllers out yet, belted tires?
 

Just as the subject says: any truly HV setups out there? I wanna run about 50 volts. Heck, if I had enough lipos, I wanna run 100 volts in an emaxx. I'd be the first person to buy a Mamba HV Maxx if they ever make one - I thought they were gonna make a special edition one for speed freaks with like 50 volt max and double the transisters for crazy amps too.

Also, who makes belted tires for RC cars? Or at least conversion kits so my maxx can run 1/8 tires (less ballooning).

Young, try the panther komodo tires. they fit maxx size wheels, but the tires are barely larger than a 1/8 tire. I also carry some maximizer conversion to mount 1/8 wheels on the maxx if you choose to go that route(although I don't think they are listed in the store). I actually have adapters for either application (maxx to 1/8 or 1/8 to maxx).

Also, the BK 30 cell controller recently were re-rated for 36 cells, though they have a 42000 rpm limit under load. That is over 40 volts, so a slow motor would be in order!

I know a guy who used fishing line or kevlar to wrap his tires (sort of radial tire effect) to keep them from ballooning. He used around 5-6 ties per tire and ca glue to hold the ties together.
He also balanced the tires and had a pretty intricate method of aligning the wheels for caster/camber/tow in/out.

I haven't noticed much balooning on the Proline 40 series velocity rims and bowtie tires.

The proline bowtie tires balloon MORE than the stock tires at 50 mph. As a matter of fact, the bowties balloon soo much that slight adjustments in right or left will "deflate" the ballooning on one side so dramatically, the truck will roll over very easily. I was thinking about making the tires inside out, wrapping it up with some nylon thread and then using the rubber cement (no, not the cheap stuff) and kind of spatulating it over the threads and and inside of the tire. After evenly coating it, I would remove the excess with some tissue or something. Figure that rubber cement will stick better to the inside of the tires than duct tape or something.

use some duct tape on the inside of the tire. that stops it.

check this link. simple ductape.. I tried CA glue and fibre, but it's no good, ca glue doesn't melt the compound of the tire..

you know that it is possible to reach 63 mph on 20 cells? you won't be able to drive it.. ;) that's nice! ever tried a mamba 8K in a mini-t on a 3S lipo?

it is pretty insane.

Serum, is that just one strip of tape added to the inside of the tire? Those look like step pins, How do you like them compared to bow ties or komodos?

I run the duct tape on the tires and it works pretty good so far. It has held when the glue didn't.
