Yeah I've heard that you have to mod the spur a bit to get it to fit and I was looking at the motor mount and guestimating where the motor will sit with the big spur and 20t pinion and it will be hanging off the side by about 6-7mm :002:

Yeah I really like this motor so far, though I'll have to see what it's like on 5s for racing.
I bought it to put in a 1/8th truggy which isn't finished yet so I thought I'd try it in the e-maxx (I wasn't expecting it to work very well though) on 12 and 14 cells for racing (a few days before I got the lipo's) and with a 20t pinion it seemed to have better acceleration in some parts of the track than my 7xl on the same batteries and with a 13t pinion :027:(though getting off the line was a little bit iffy sometimes and it the quark did something weird once) except every thing was cooler with the neu. The motor was about 15-20 degrees C (59-68F) cooler than the 7xl :004:

If you're loosing the get up and go off of the line, you might want to open up the cap and check your caps to see if they are puffed.
I don't have any 4s packs. My 14 cell nimhs should be around what 4s pack is I think , but I want it a bit faster than that. I chose the 2.5d over the 1y, because I wanted to use 5s for racing. With the 20t pinion and 14 cells some of the other e-maxx's gain 2 metres or so on me by the end of the straight (Lehner 1940 7t on 12 cells and hackers, oh and one guy uses 1 trackpower pack and 1 IB4200 6 cell pack:eek: )
I want mid to high 30's for racing (we have a decent size straight) and mid to high 40's for bashing, but I'll have to see how it goes.

I was thinking there might be something wrong with the caps, but it doesn't seem to do it all the time:032:

I was mucking around with it on 3s yesterday. It's actually pretty quick, probably a little bit faster than a stock 12 cell e-maxx (not quite as fast as one on 14 cells though I think), but a bit quicker off the line, and it didn't cog at all with slow driving or full throttle take offs. I changed some sensitivity settings on my spektrum though, so I'll have to see if that was part of it once I try 5s again.
It was going full speed on 3s, not accelerating and it locked up and nearly did a front flip. I pretty sure it's the rear diff, but if it is what I think it is then I might not have to replace anything, since it's happened before.
