Not sure about what Traxxas and Novak will come up with. The VXL Emaxx will be another 14 cells, 4s setup. There is no way that Traxxas would do a 6s (2 3s in series) setup for the emaxx. It will most likely resemble the Novak HV, hopefully with a lower kv motor with a bigger rotor/can than the novak. My rustler vxl system ran way hot on 3s with stock gearing/tires, hope the traxxas emaxx system will be cooler running. Bob Novak has been running that kyosho buggy with a ctr slipper with A 48P spur and the hv system on 5s. I can see that buggy is for top speed only, can you imagine how long a 48p spur would last off road, or drag racing?!?!?!?! In any case Traxxas and Novak make stuff for the mainstream. We are not mainstream. Most here(myself included) consider a 2hp (peak) motor in a 1/8 buggy tame, and motor temps above 150f unacceptable. If a mainstream mfg brought out a 2hp system that ran under 150f it would cost a grand (or more) have about 100 sales,and I would probably pass out from shock
