[SnoopMaxx]

Thanks chrismechanic
I was out earlier today bashing my Maxx and it runs great with my 4K nimh batt's but I an waiting on a Novak 4s LVC from ModelsportUK so I can use my new 2s1p 3000mah LiPo's


Do you shop at ModelsportUK ?
or are there a good rc shop near you ?

hi snoop/all...i ran my truck sunday afternoon down the foresty bit on the end of the park, a five minute walk from home, went ok, popped a front shock and bent the drive shaft after a bad landing.
there is a model shop around 40 mins drive from home but i get parts from all over, my mm combo came from a main hobbies as was best price around.
i usually make any parts that can be fabricated at home.
are u still running the 775 titan in your maxx?
you will really smile whe u get lipo power in your maxx.
and smile even more when you go over to brushless.
lipos are 100% improvment over nmhi, i run 5s on my maxx and is blistering, also get a longer run time, i get around 45-50 mins.
whats an lvc? speed controller?
talk soon byee all...

It's a LiPo Cut-Off

Novak 4s Smart-Stop Li-Po Cut-Off
Protect Your Li-Po Battery Investment

Now users of all models and brands of ESCs can appreciate and enjoy the advantages of Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) battery packs without the fear of damaging the cells. The Smart-Stop Li-Po Cut-Off Module will monitor your Li-Po battery pack voltage and prevent the batteries from going below the critical safety voltage level. This is achieved using a combination of throttle interruption and a visual cue from the included ultra-bright blue LED. The Smart-Stop Modules are available for 2-cell (#5470), 3-cell (#5472), or 4-cell (#5471) Li-Po battery packs and can be used with any brand brushed or brushless speed control for car, boat, or air applications.

For racers and bashers alike, the Smart-Stop Module will prevent your vehicle from draining your Li-Po packs below their safety level. The Smart-Stop Module connects between the receiver and speed control, and is easily set up with a One-Touch Set-Up button to learn the ESC’s settings for accurate and complete control. The Smart-Stop Module will interrupt the ESC’s throttle operation with short periods of throttle blipping. This is a warning that the Li-Po battery voltage safety level is approaching, giving the user a chance to bring in the vehicle. In addition, the remotely-mounted, ultra-bright blue LED will begin to flash, giving a clear visual cue that it is time to stop the vehicle. If the vehicle is run beyond this warning period, the Smart-Stop Module will bring the motor to neutral while leaving full steering servo control.
