Looking for professional advice to start a BL EMAXX

[JThiessen]

How does that Novak GTX (I believe that is it) esc run?

Its for sensored brushless motors. Different league of motors. Apparently the new HV-Maxx runs pretty well, but not up to speed with a 7 or 8XL.

I like the idea of you using some 3.3 arms and center sliders. Stock emaxx centers will not hold up. The titans will twist those, let alone a brushless.

You're pretty much limited to an RRP slipper, as its about the only one still made. Mine is holding up so far.

Deans plugs or Andersons on all your batteries is a must.

I run a Fiego 10L in my Revo and I'm happy with it. It has enough power to make me a believer, and its not so fast that I need to worry my about temps. The Emaxx diffs have a different ratio than the Revos do, so when looking at gears, and what "we" run in the revos is going to be slightly different. I'm at 15/66 on my Revo - quite a bit different than what BrianG is running. I did not get a steel idler, as they have been out of stock for forever also. My tranny seems to be holding up so far (that may be one of those "upgrade later" items). You will likely want to order steel pinions from Mike when you order your motor (likely will be a 5mm shaft). Get several of them to try different ratios.

If you dont already have one, an infrared temperature sensor to check your temps.

Wheelie bar. Or a wing. You WILL need it.

They've covered the CVD's already.
