what kind of preformance can i expect from that neu/mgm setup ? and what about gearing ? how many amp,s does that motor need ?

MGM 24160 & Neu 1527/1Y or 1521/1.5Y would be nice for 8S...[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][/FONT]

Question is more what work have you done to your drivetrain - slipper, transmission, diffs, linkages etc as stock ones won't last long a battery with this setup...

PS Old EMAXX new EMAX?

4-6 cells aqwut, :party: don't get carried away here.. :intello:

Arct1k 01.15.2008 12:26 PM

ps On performance a 9XL on 4s is enough to get standing backflips.... This would be better...

PS Just looked back through some old threads so understand this is a new EMAXX so transmission and drivetrain is per revo so should hold up for a while.

You will go through driveshafts as they tend to tear...

I thought you had a MM and 8XL to go in the EMAXX - Did you try that?

I have a 10XL on 5S and I'm very happy with the performance. Runs cool and has plenty of power. I'd suggest the MGM 16018 to run it. I helped a friend of mine do a BL conversion of his revo with the above setup. He got a true rc 8000mAh 5S2P pack to run it (10C, so it was cheaper) and he gets about 40 minute runtimes with everything staying cool.

Any battery will do as long as it can do 80A+ continuous.


I agree about the upgrades. You will need a RRP slipper, because the stocker won't hold up. The stock diff cups will most likely disintegrate pretty quickly too, followed by the driveshafts. Might want to look into some steel idler gears for the tranny too. :)

If money is tight the A123's are cheap ... charge fast... and you can make a cheapo charger for them for a couple of bucks.

I run a 6s A123 and 9xl and am happy with it... but the drive train is staring to be the weak link..... (I guess that means the power train is just about right :))

WHOOOPS!... saw the $600 budget and just lost it... :lol:

I wonder how would the shulze controllers work with the Neus....

Serum 01.15.2008 05:31 PM

They work with the Neu's i am sure of that. the 40.160 still is the biggest car controller available. as simple as that. I need to see the first smoked 40.160..

For the new maxx, I would think that a 9xl on 4s on the MM esc would do good. I also run the 10xl on 5s with MM esc which is great. I also run the Neu 1515 1/y on 4s and the Quark, also very nice.

speedy 01.16.2008 06:02 AM

I have my 8xl and mm in my inferno 7,5 right now and i've changed my mind about moving that setup over to my new e-maxx and to by a neew system for the maxx :lol:.

Highflier !
Do you meen a 1s6p a123 or a 2s6p ? i guess that a 1s pack might lose to mutch voltage in a emaxx right ? i think two 3s neuenergy lipo's woud be way more powerfull :lol: but a lot more expencive ofcourse !:(

highflier 01.16.2008 11:05 AM

I run 6s1p pack. It give about the same performance as a 5s lipo pack. Yea voltage is going to sag a little on launch. Does not hurt the cells and I still get wheel spin so it does not effect me much.

Many others run 6s2p packs. I thought about that and have enough cells but....
Did not want to add 1 lb to truck. and it gets harder and hard to place all the cells in the truck.

I have not done it but if I was to do it again with no $$ worries I think I would go 9s1p.
I want slightly longer run time, and a cooler motor. It would also keep amps down a bit and give more power. the real conserne would be getting the right ESC and Motor wind. Maybe a 11XL of something close to that.


Oh and it would only add about .5 lbs that way
