Pretty close to that, yes. 12 cells on the 8XL is only 27k rpm. I'd go 14 or even 16 cells to really wake that motor up.

I've never had a stock Maxx, so I don't know which gears are avaliable. Are you running the stock slipper? If so, the slipper pegs are gonna melt with the power. Most people use the 51T mod1 spur, Strobe slipper setup, and mod1 pinions (or a similar beefed up setup) to handle the power.

EDIT: lol, MM beat me to it. Me and my slow typing!
