ATTN: Brushless Owners: Do you think it was worth it for your Maxx?

[ozdave]

Redhat, I've just finished an upgrade to a 540C 8xl and 9920 in my Maxx and I have to say that the improvement is most certainly worth it to me. I put a bit more into it and ugraded the slipper as well, but didnt do anything more with the diffs than upgrade to the 3.3 version. I decided to deal with these when/if they break as I have a spare set.

The performance is better than I had expected running on both 12 and 14 cells. 10mph might not sounds like much but in a little car it looks like more than you may expect. Of course your mileage may vary but i think if you have realistic expectations of what you are trying to achieve then you will have a lot of fun with it and it might even be a bit better than you had expected :)

A lot of the fun for me comes from doing the upgrade, customising to suit and then getting it out to play with it. I had a few teething problems but i think i have them pretty much sorted, however i am sure there will be something else needed down the line after a bit more run time.

I also put in a strobe slipper and its been great, much better than the stock and i am confident the power of brushless would have eaten my stock slipper in seconds!
