Me and My Axi-Maxx Video's!

Do you run with the spur gear cover on? I never bother, as my body usually keep the bulk of the dust/grime out. Pluss I like to be able to see the gears.

In the beginning, I didn't. But decided to keep it on there.

The mod 1 gears are great and showing no wear as of yet. I figure dirt getting caught in the mesh will cause the most amount of wear. Keeping the cover on will prolong the life of the gears.

I'll open it up every now and then and take a peek though.

I took the endbell off both the 10 turn and the 8 turn to do some side by side comparison. They are twins except for the fact that the 8 turn's stator poles look like a good balance between fill and just enough space for good air flow. The 10 turn stator poles are just as full as possible.

I wanna do a Traxxas Villian Boat with a pair of these AXI 2826/8 motors, a CC BEC, a pair of MM ESC's, and a 4S 10,000mah Lipo setup. They have enough torque to get it up far into the "fun" zone.

HAHA

That think will fly. I can't see the supervee motor being as powerful as one of those axi motors. You should easily get that boat over 50mph, which will be ridiculous. I hope the boat can keep up with that kind of power. My supervee's hull is completely out of the water at 42mph, I really can't see it going any faster and still stay upright!

Do you have the boat yet? You might be able to get away with the sidewinder esc, it is half the cost of the mm, just not sure if it is 4s capable? You can set the lvc to the same values as the mm so it should be good for 5s! I got mine for 65 bucks from tower, that 130 for two and you may be able to get the axi motors cheap too. So far my sidewinder runs cooler than my MM did in the xxx-cr. Not sure why, maybe the heatsink is on better?

That boat would be wicked!

I have two MM escs now, but one of them has issues I think. I may send it in for repair. It will still run a motor, but I hooked it up to a Feigao 6xl one time and seen some smoke come out of it. So, I don't think I can trust it.

I've been looking into how to build a watercooled motor plate. I'm also putting some thought into how to water cool the esc's. I might go with something other than the MM's. I'm not sure yet.

I've been tempted to put the good MM I have in the E maxx. With the new firmware update, it just might do a pretty good job. Whatcha think?

No I don't have the boat yet.

I would stick to 4s, but give it a try. It would be nice to see how it compares to the quark after the firmware update.

I finally got a chance to run the AXI 2826/8 motor in this setup.

It outperforms the 2826/10 by alot. A pretty large increase in top speed. I don't notice any decrease in torque, but it does run cooler. I didn't expect cooler temps. I am going to contribute this to better air flow since the stator poles don't appear to be quite so "stuffed" as with the 10 turn motor.

The 8 turn spools up fast enough to put it on it's lid very quickly. Gotta kinda watch that itchy finger now.

Out of the two motors, the 8 turn is definately the way to go.

[lincpimp]

Did you run the 8 turn on the sony cells or your lipos?

Glad to hear that it works well, and the temps stay in check.
