Traxxas Waterproof or Not

[killjoyken]

It has nothing to do with moisture and Traxxas knows of this problem. When I called Traxxas, they told me to send it in since it was still under warranty and that they have a fix for it. Basically they would raise the voltage cutoff above 16.8v to allow for my matched 7 cell packs.

I got an RMA #, but ended up losing my receipt and never sending it in. Rainy season had ended and I just went brushless so I can't tell you if they really have a fix or not.

I just sold my E-maxx. All in all, I broke the rear bulkhead, 1 front center driveshaft and 2 revo driveshafts. The driveshafts may be bigger, but they still twist off at the joint. Brushless ready? Not really. I'm sticking to nitro conversions.

I do not have any experience with the evx 2, but I do have a super duty and it is a great esc. I am currently using it in a tamiya double blaze/twin dagger with a pair of the traxxas titan 12t (xl5 pede) motors on 3s lipo. It can handle those 2 motors and the 3s well, never gets much more than warm, and the motors stay reasonably cool with a pair of clip on heatsinks. I really wonder what kind of power I am pushing. The batt is an 18c 3300 3s, so 60amps cont. That would be about 550 watts. It is more powerful than a stock emaxx, and lighter too. Fun truck, will wheely in either direction!
