I've said it before and I'll say it again! The weak link with the HV-MAXX is the esc! Even with their fan on it, it can't handle the current draw, it heats up very fast and can't pull any kind of gearing even on a light truck. I ran one on my G2R with a hummer SUT body. The heatsink and fan completely stuck through the bed of the truck, no lack of airflow there, and it still fried. When it worked I honestly liked the power, it was quicker and just as fast as a nitro, with a little more power than a trx 3.3 motor. If Novak could build an esc that can handle their motors it wouldn't be so bad! If you want controlable power for racing the HV motors hooked to a MMM might not be bad. Although Neu is coming out with a 1400 series motor that would be better or get a Medusa.
