I justed smoked my mm(literaly) in my emaxx. So i will be running it with a 9xl and 14 3300's 16 if i can figure out a way to mount the 2 extra batts. the sony li-ion cells that were in the review forum look like a very good cost effective alternative to lipo's. running them in a 6s2p config. would me a real monster in a maxx. My only prob. is my 977 wont charge anything higher than 3s. So i think ill just run my nimh into the ground. or untill i want something a little more.
