I guess Novak's HV series is a very good setup for you.

Also, get a Feigao or Wanderer L can( 7-8 turns) with a 7020 esc.

Price should not go over $300 in the worst case senario.

Nah, I wouldn't recommend either of those...Go with the Mamba Max ESC and a Feigao 7XL motor. Should be good on 14 cells...

2nd'. A 8XL could also work if you are not looking for super fast and want to run 14 cells. W/ 12 a 7XL would be better.

I recommend the Novak, really. He's only going to take down his friends rusty which only has a normal brushed motor. Nothing serious...:)

squeeforever 03.20.2007 04:38 PM

Keep in mind that the XL5 Rusty's run 35mph stock...

captain harlock 03.20.2007 04:45 PM

Okay!..:)

..10 secs before they melt the Titan, from what I've heard. I think that speed is based on 8 cells and that obscenely large extra pinion they provide. My impression from the TRX forums is that people are smoking them fairly quickly doing that. Usable speeds are more ~30. Eh, otherwise a good upgrade form the old stinger.

Regardless, pretty much any BL system will win. ? is tho, why spend ~$300 for an inferior Novak when you can get a solid sensorless system for less and is much more powerful and upgradable? Really hard to beat a MMax/XL in this regard.

squeeforever 03.20.2007 06:04 PM

I believe that speed was on 7 cells with the extra pinion, but I didn't know that it would smoke the motor...Anywho, your right, hte MM/XL is the best setup, especially for the money.

Starluckrc has a mm/12s combo on sale for $160, would that work?

squeeforever 03.20.2007 06:59 PM

Nope. Need a bigger motor. Like I said, MM/XL.

BrianG 03.20.2007 07:01 PM

Of course it would work Squee.... you just gotta gear it low enough. Of course, top speed will only be like 10mph... ;)

Morepower 03.20.2007 08:34 PM

So your telling me a 540size 12s motor would not work in a emaxx? I realize its not the ideal motor but it would have to perform better than titans.:032:

The 12s is for a touring car or light 2wd buggy rather than a heavy e-maxx. It just doesn't have the torque necessary to move an e-maxx that well. So, in short it would not really preform better than the titans. You need to get an XL motor, 7xl or 8xl would do fine.

Hope this helps!

so im thinking mamba maxx esc and a 7-8 xl motor ? ok i went and looked and i dont see anything that says 7 or 8xl in the motors section...
also would this work ?

on a second note i will be running 12 cells now but would like to run 14 later so i need something that will work with 12 and accept or be even better later with 14. and when i said speed wasnt a huge thing i just wanted to beat my friends rustler it meant i dont wanna have $600-$800 in my setup but i also didnt wanna come on and be like hey i wanna go fast for cheap !!
i was thinking under $300
