First let me thank everyone that gave me info and answered questions on my other posts.

I got My E-Maxx built and running finally. This is what I put in it just for backround:
Wanderer 8xl
Warrior 9920 with cooling fan
Ultimate BEC
Strobe slipper with 18/51 gears
FLM aluminum 2 speed tranny with steel idlers
UE titainium driveshafts and cups
UE 6mm steel CVDs with boots
FLM hybrid bulkheads
Ofna 6 spyder diffs
FLM aluminum chassis braces
FLM shock towers
FLM control arms
Hitec HSC-5955 steering servo
-- UE servo saver is ordered
Traxxas big bore shocks
20 IB 4200 mah cells
Revo wheels and tires
Airtronics MX-3S controller
Aluminum wheelie bar
Rubber sealed bearings everywhere

I took it out for the first time today after work. Tried it with 20/51 gearing first. Crazy insane fast!!! At 1/3 trigger pull it is way faster than a stock maxx on great 14 cell bats. Then it started cogging bad after 5-6 mins. I found the motor and controller way too hot. Changed to 18/51 gears. Performance about the same but must be gentle on the trigger or the front tires never touch the ground. When its going 15-20mph in second gear and I floor it it will pull a wheelie for around 30-40 ft. Basically untill I let off. I can't even come close to top speed by my house due to cars and curbs but tomorrow after work I'm gonna stop at the park and see what it will do. Mike said that the 20/51 would get it over 60mph so I'm hoping that the 18/51 will get around 50-55mph. My batteries lasted the whole time I was running today testing it out, about 20-25 mins and still were going strong when I decided to stop. Damn good I think.

Is thermal cogging normal with the 8xl 9920 combo if they get too hot?
