Need someones help.

[ToddD81]

This is what I am thinking of getting for my e-maxx.

http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail..._MM_ESC&cat=21

http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...540C_XL&cat=20

Would this combo work. If so I think I have made my mind up. Not too pricey either. I was looking at the novak 4.5hv, would this be a better buy? And should I get 7,8, or 9?

Also I am almost considering just getting some ib4200 nimh batteries for it. would they be suffice and get decent runtimes and speed? ah and 1 more which heatsink would work with this, the xl version?

Thanks for the help guys.

welcome to the fourms first off


the mm is good, but u will need a ubec, or reciver pack to use it... id say a 8xl would be good, and good runtimes also

and it has a built in heat sink, so nothing will fit besides that

hopw that helps:018:

i personally would go for the bk wanderer 7 or 8 XL and then use the XL clamp.
oh yes, happy to have you over here!;)

Hi Todd; Welcome to the forum.

the L motors you are describing are quite 'hot' if you take a lower KV motor the motor will stay cooler and runtimes will increase. the 9L on 12 cells is a hot setup already! go figure.

Todd was talking about the XL motors Serum:005:

Yes Todd the XL motors should work (I have a 7XL in my E-maxx).
The 540 c motors in your link have a built in heatsink so you can't put an extra one on them.
The smooth can ones (like mine)
http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...o5408xl&cat=20 (I couldn't find the 7XL) are the same motor with a different can. The smooth can ones will fit a heatsink/clamp on them. http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...d=RCM01&cat=20
And yes the XL size heatsink/clamp will fit the XL smooth cans.(an L size one will fit as well,it just won't cover the full length)
I have heard that the 540 C motors (finned ones) can hit the transmission, limiting spur/pinion combos, but I'm not sure.
If you get a smooth can XL get the heatsink/clamp as well.
If you want speed on 12 cells nimh, get the 7XL (I use mine on 14cells). For a bit less speed and bit more run time get the 8XL. 9XL would be a bit too slow I think, but you will get better runtimes.

I have no experience with the Mamba Max, but I heard it works well (if you use a UBEC).

If your staying nimh, IB4200's are some of the best ones.
With my 7XL I haven't noticed any difference in run time compared to stock, I've never timed it though.
