I guess Novak's HV series is a very good setup for you.

Also, get a Feigao or Wanderer L can( 7-8 turns) with a 7020 esc.

Price should not go over $300 in the worst case senario.

Nah, I wouldn't recommend either of those...Go with the Mamba Max ESC and a Feigao 7XL motor. Should be good on 14 cells...

2nd'. A 8XL could also work if you are not looking for super fast and want to run 14 cells. W/ 12 a 7XL would be better.

I recommend the Novak, really. He's only going to take down his friends rusty which only has a normal brushed motor. Nothing serious...:)

Keep in mind that the XL5 Rusty's run 35mph stock...

..10 secs before they melt the Titan, from what I've heard. I think that speed is based on 8 cells and that obscenely large extra pinion they provide. My impression from the TRX forums is that people are smoking them fairly quickly doing that. Usable speeds are more ~30. Eh, otherwise a good upgrade form the old stinger.

Regardless, pretty much any BL system will win. ? is tho, why spend ~$300 for an inferior Novak when you can get a solid sensorless system for less and is much more powerful and upgradable? Really hard to beat a MMax/XL in this regard.

actually i have the stock titans on a modded spur (2 less teeth than stock)
gp 3300's 7 cells and i can beat a 7 cell rusty xl-5.........get smoother tires im using stock 3.3 tmaxxx 38's series ( slightly bigger ) i know im overgeared but i only switch to second gear for high speed drags (ti turnbuckles rear cvds and as much stock plastic as possible to save weight)but i do have a wheelie bar and i still own in second gear. Titans dont really suck they just need 7 cells heck ive even RAN OVER a couple of nitro cars that trashed talked me into racing then on pavement !!! maybe it was luck but i LOVE my e-maxx and the titans have yet to fail me! REMENBER weight has alot to do with it, make sure u tighten the slipper too

captain harlock · 03.20.2007, 04:45 PM

Okay!..:)

squeeforever · 03.20.2007, 06:04 PM

I believe that speed was on 7 cells with the extra pinion, but I didn't know that it would smoke the motor...Anywho, your right, hte MM/XL is the best setup, especially for the money.

Morepower · 03.20.2007, 06:14 PM

Starluckrc has a mm/12s combo on sale for $160, would that work?

squeeforever · 03.20.2007, 06:59 PM

Nope. Need a bigger motor. Like I said, MM/XL.

BrianG · 03.20.2007, 07:01 PM

Of course it would work Squee.... you just gotta gear it low enough. Of course, top speed will only be like 10mph... ;)

Morepower · 03.20.2007, 08:34 PM

So your telling me a 540size 12s motor would not work in a emaxx? I realize its not the ideal motor but it would have to perform better than titans.:032:

The 12s is for a touring car or light 2wd buggy rather than a heavy e-maxx. It just doesn't have the torque necessary to move an e-maxx that well. So, in short it would not really preform better than the titans. You need to get an XL motor, 7xl or 8xl would do fine.

Hope this helps!
