You're using a cutoff or an alarm?
not yet :o I only run for a few minutes then charge them back up. I'll have more pics up soon. I had been running it on 16 GP3300 all summer but I switched to the lipos this past week. The first time I punched I was like :eek: . LiPo's rule!

I have a BL 1/8 buggy and a Revo conversion in the works.

well, you don't have got a too honoust compare, 16 cells vs 6S lipo..

the difference of those few volts is HUGE.. that and the light weight of those lipolys..

You really should get a voltage warning! for the sake of your kokams..

You know what the sad part is. I have two brand new FMA low voltage cuttoffs hanging on the wall. :rolleyes:

Wow, I like the layout of the 1/8 buggy, never would have thought to have the motor at the front! Is that a custom upper deck in the rear?

Thanks Dabid. The upper deck is just a piece of alum sheet. I had to make a new one because the old deck connected to the radio plate that I removed.

poconoblmaxx, I can see that u are not using the mechanical brake. You locked the 1st gear? If yes how did you do that? I would be glad if you can explain the process. Thanks

Welcome Poconoblmaxx. That savage is the most impressive bl setup i've seen so far. It's just mind blowing the way that truck accelerates. I only hope to have something like that someday


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

Thanks Crazy. I've been at this for a few years now and I finally have something I like. When I bought my first bl setup Model Tech was selling brushless setups and the Hacker 8s was the "hot" motor to have for an emaxx.:rolleyes: I've done the smoking Schulze thing too...twice.

6s LiPo is the highest voltage I've tried.

I'll give a little backround on the truck. I finished the truck in Febuary of this year and ran it with 16Gp3300 with a 10L and a Hacker sport controller. Wasnt happy with the 10L so I switched to the 8XL and 9918. Ran that setup alot since March, great for bashing. Then I switched to to the 6s LiPo last week.
