**16.9v EVX -** 10.13.2006, 05:11 PM

First of all should I get GP4300 or IB4200 7 cell pack? Will the fry my EVX? Ill be running deans.

No, 14 cells shouldn't fry it. I would NOT get GP4300's. Get the IB's. Make sure there SHV version though...

No, 7-cells won't fry it. I've heard of people getting away with many more than 14 cells, though I don't recommend it by any means. I ran 7-cell matched packs through my evx for 3 years without a hitch, it can handle it just fine.

**17.78 volts on the EVX? -** 10.15.2006, 05:07 PM

Since Max Amps updated There GP4300 and IB4200 they make alot more voltage. The GP4300 are 1.26v that=17.64 volts, and the IB4200 are 1.27v that=17.78 volts. Will this burn up my EVX? Cause my dad wont be happy if that happens!

No, the evx can handle that. Anyway, if you do exceed the voltage it decides it can handle, the voltage cutoff is supposed to just shut it down.

E-Maxx King-Please don't start another thread asking the same thing except there is a .88 volt difference. Its kinda pointless. An extra .88 volts will HARDLY be enough to fry a controller...

Sorry, are you guys sure that it can handle GP4300? 18 volts!

mwe-maxxowner · 10.16.2006, 11:41 PM

Yes, it will be fine. If not, it'll simply not operate correctly for a minute or so because of the high voltage cutoff being activated until the voltage drops to an acceptable amount. But no 7-cell packs are gonna harm the evx.

Its going to harm it?

mwe-maxxowner · 10.17.2006, 12:01 AM

No no no!!! lol, I've said so already, the evx can handle that no sweat. The high voltage cutoff being activated doesn't hurt the evx, you just get erratic operation for a bit. This cutoff is activated long before the voltage reaches harmful levels.

So with a peak charge it wont work for a second?

Not necessarily. I'm sayin' that it may not, depending on exactly the voltage your packs produce, and exactly the voltage cutoff on the evx. Not many evx's do this, they are all a little bit different. Don't worry, just charge your packs and run them. You will not hurt your evx. Period!

Also Will the DuraTrax Intellipeak Chrage them? Locked 3.5 amps.

yes, that will charge them. The DuraTrax charger is a great charger.
