HV-Maxx 4.5 or MM and 9xl?

[suicideneil]

Too slow. I read up about the rather amazing HvMaxx/ Fiegao experiment and it seems whilstt it worked, the HvMaxx needs a bit of work done to handle the higher temps caused by running a hot motor such as a 7xl. The sensored fiegos are rather cool, but hard too get hold of (just a pic on their site, special order only which is a shame & hassle since I would like a selection to chose from, rather than guessing at specs). Something to look forward to in the future, although a 5/6s Velineon would seem like the most ideal solution to running sensored/sensorless Bl motors. Bring it on Traxxas, before anyone else beats you to it and gets my money first!

The HvMaxx esc is very capable, and if you swapped over the cap for a 35v low esr version (or 2 or 3), and added a bit of meat to some areas of the pcb traces inside, it will easily do 16 cells, maybe more. I would love to get hold of a setup on ebay for dirt cheap (say someone broke their truck and wanted rid, or snapped the motor shaft etc), then i could have a play without fear of killing my only system....
