installed electronics on "DIRECT" drive emaxximum(pics)

The packs look like they could become damaged easy. The packs hang over the chassis almost a 1/2! I'll bet a pair of mikes battery trays would bolt right up and provide some much needed impact resistance.

i picked up 4 aluminum show trucks from a dude in ALASKA last year....He was getting out of the hobby and threw this chassis in for free!...It has been in my tmaxx room until last week when i woke it from the dead!....it has one long shaft conected to front and rear diff....

Is that one of the things you bought from Booyah? It's nice. Too bad it's not made anymore.

[plettenbergs]

no,i did not get it from BOOYA!....as far as i know this is the only chassis like this!....Virgil is making me a new mounting bracket for the steering servo!....it will be ready to run after the part is ready!....i plan on runing the LIGHTNING on 2-5s this weekend if the weather holds up!....i am also going to fabricate some new posts for the UE battery hold down kit to work with the larger 5s lipo batts(wish me luck)...it should look very trick!

Can you contact the person you bought it from and ask him where he picked up the frame and what it is? It is a very nice truck and I am sure that you will have a lot of fun with it as long as you get it all hooked up correctly and safely. Good luck with the setup and testing. Go easy on it up front. You seem to have a pretty good build on your hands there.

Here is where I saw that chassis for the first time:

what guage wire are you using? it looks like 16 guage in the picture next to the 8 guage on the li-pos, and that doesn't look like sillicone wire either. without sillicone wire, if the guage is too small and the current is too high, the insulation might melt... and that would not end well.

I assumed the polyquest XQ were copper tab? Theyre the latest polyquest packs I thought, with the highest discharge rating. But for some reason give slightly higher V drop under load (apparently.. none of this is confirmed by myself). I'd be surprised if any new lipos weren't copper tab to be honest. At any rate, if theyre not, they damn well should be! :P

[roweder]

I really hope they are, maxamps uses copper tab cells, but they don't use nice cells.

I like thunder power v2's the best, they're enerland packs. I hope this has copper cell tabs, cuz I'm getting it soon: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/17987

[roweder]

but really, plettenbergs what gauge is that wire going to the motor? you could be loosing some voltage with that stuff

Wow if they are at least XP cells thats an awesome price, nearly as good as the polyquest prices (236 for the 5000 6s XP). I'm not sure though because PQ rate their 5000XP to 25C, whereas that one is only 22C...

Lol yeah back to the topic at hand, I'm also interested to know :P

idk why it says 22c at the top, but thunder power rates it at 25c/50c and it says that in the statistics that a-main gives under the descriptions, and on the TP website it says 25c/50c. A-main also says that it has 14 gauge wire, but it has 10 guage.

lincpimp said that he drained a enerland pack down to 2.0v per cell and didn't notice any difference in capacity or performance.

[BL_RV0]

2v/s?!?!?!

[Sammus]

lol man youve been coming out with all the wacky pics lately haha

[suicideneil]

I believe those zippies use 8g wire. Deans arent going to cut it really, beteer off using 5.5mm or 6.5mm gold plated bullet connectors- the shop should have them.
