Gorillamaxx alternatives

I too have snapped two sets now. I have some new ones on the way and will use Mike's suggestion adn let you all know. I run 16 cells, so that's a lot of weight. If Lipo is that much lighter, than snapping one set won't be as easy, but will run the two on my 16 cells and see how that goes and let you all know. Should work fine though.

Here's the pics for everyone:







They carry them at the Home Depot and Do It Center out where I live. They're called "Bongo Ties". I guess because the wooden piece looks like a bongo.

Is that a Spektrum Telemetry on there?

Yup, BP-Revo gave me the idea of using it to watch the voltage for the Lipos.

I tried wiring it to one of the packs directly but fried the telemetry reciever. So I got a new one and monitor the voltage to the BEC instead. I also like how it monitors the motor temp as well.

I have it setup to vibrate at 145F, but with the new 6.5HV in it I never get above 120F with 70/13 gearing. I should get it up and running this week to monitor the speed as well. Just have to figure out the "roll out" to program it.

You might want to try out the new 4.5 motor. It's supposed to be alot faster. I heard it was faster than a 9L on 12 cells...

I'lll have to look into that. Thanks squeeforever. Tower has it listed for arrival mid September.

9L on 12 cells isnt that fast though :027:

Pitty I live across the ocean, those lil bongo straps look ideal.

I'll just wait and order more G-Maxx straps on my next order. Forgot about them the other night :024: .

Mike's ali straps have not let me down Darren, they look the part too!
