motor for emaxx on 3s ??

[E-Revonut]

10l and 6 cell NiMh can approach 40MPH in a rustler or similar, maybe, but in a 10+lb monster truck? I'm sorry but did you see that he's trying to do this in an E-MAXX? Some people have trouble keeping temps in check on 4s with an xl sized motor in an MT, I really don't see how it's possible with a smaller motor and less voltage, IMHO!

What 3s lipos do you have? You should look at running 2 of the packs in parallel and double the MAH and their output capability. It would certainly make it easier for the batteries to keep up and not get over stressesd/heated.

I did it in my Revo, so I'd think it would work in an Emaxx. I guess I'd better clarify - that was with two six cell packs - standard Emaxx config. When I had mine set up, I heard a lot of people complaining about overheating the L cans all the time also, so I kept an extra close eye on it too. Maybe I didn't supply enough juice to it to get it hot!

I run it right now with two 2S2P A123 packs, and its in the range of 40.
