Sure, My 5s 4400 emaxx running a feigao 15l does around 35 mins.

I don't beleive the charge time between the two are any different though.

The higher voltage just works better, and it helps the cheaper motors too. A 9l feigao on 3s is not that great in an emaxx, but a 15l feigao on 5-6s works great and stays cool too.

Charge time is no different.

Love the .5 BTW! Great vehicle, I may put heavier springs on the rear, are the grey springs you included heavier?

The grey springs are the stock ones.....


Hmmm, something I never thought about with a HV set up, so I guess its just fitting it on the car thats hard huh? A place speedo is cheap, mech brakes is cheap because I have tons of servos, and lipos cost the same, along with the motor

Something to think about

The maxamps 2100 lipos are good to use as they can usually fit on the opposite side to the motor in an 1/8 buggy, 2 5s 2100 packs are longer than a std pack, but about the same weight and cost. Plus you can use a cheaper motor, like a 12xl, or 20l feigao. They work much better than their higher kv cousins.

Im not into max amps

How about flight power, poly quest? Enerland cells..

The grey springs are soft, blue are medium and white are hard.
I'd try using heavier oil like 60wt in the front and 45wt in the rear.

I get 15min with my 8S A123 setup with a NEU 1515/2Y and the HV110/pistix
I just wish there were an affordable car esc that could handle it.....

Enerland cells cost a little more but are IMO are worth every extra penny. I don't own any of these but from what I hear they perform very well and when it comes to quality, you get what you pay for.

A hv car esc would be nice, hell I'd be happy with a forward only esc, that could work with a wheel radio and have a great startup. Oh and pc programability. I do not mind mech brakes. I wonder if the new castle hydra hv controller has decent startup. I programmed a hydra 120, but never saw it run. I may have to give one a try.

I think they are also...

If you want a Maxximum with a 5mm shaft, you have to order the Maxximum with fan. Here you see the the Maxximum with fan next to your Maxximum



The kv of both the Maxximum is 3000, but if you contact Plettenberg, you can get also a 2200kv version.

Thanks Bl-Power, I thought that plett would provide a differnt kv if asked. Is the fan really necessary? My plett runs extrenmely cool, like 100f after 30mins, if that. Maybe on a larger/heavier vehicle that could provide a bigger load?!

I think the fan is cool, its like a NEU, it needs to be finned lol.....

Pletty are expensive, I should try a maxximum out in my .5

In such a light vehicle like yours, a fan isn't necessary. The fanned version is only needed in heavier vehicles, here in Germany some people are using the fanned Maxximum in their E-Maxx and Revo conversions. They get up to 1400watt out of it, their motor doesn't get hotter than 150f even if they are running through high grass in summer.

Old thread, but I figured that I would dig it up.

I am currently running a novak hv 6.5r in the crt.5 with the MM on a 5000 3s neuenergy lipo. Not really powerful enough for me, and it cogs badly at times from a standing start.

I have played with all of the settings and found that low timing, high start power, and the punch control disabled is the best. Still not very good startup. I will try direct soldering the motor to the esc, and then try another mm esc I have. Even with the punch control disabled, and the big battery, it still lacks the punch I would like. I may try thicker center diff oil, but it seems fine, not much ballooning.
