Monster Max 8S plans?

[sikeston34m]

I have a pair of 3500mah 4S 30c - 50C packs that will fit the E Revo or the E maxx.

This makes for a 8S setup that will push 105 amps continous, 175 amps Burst.

I've been running them parallel to make 4S at 7000mah.

I would like to see this coupled with a 1100kv 80mm Medusa on 8S.

Efficiency out the wazooo.

Yes there are other options, but to compromise and settle for anything less would be a crime.

The MMM software is unbeatable.

Damn, you sound like a copy cat... I currently have a pair of fp 3700 25c 4s lipos wired in series with a lutach 10s esc and an axeox 36/38/2 (1200kv or so). Not the lightest truck (bombproof emaxx with lst diffs) and this setup works well. The aveox is more 1515 size, and an 80mm medusa would be a good upgrade. I will be prating this truck to finish some other trucks. Flm savvy will get the esc, and a 3200 30c 10s pack to go with a 1521 2y (780kv). The chassis will replace the plastic chassis on the 6x6 maxx (I have 2 torpedo chassis) with the 2826/12 axi on 4s. The suspension with the lst diffs will mate with a 3905 emaxx chassis and tranny with a plett maxx on 4s with a MMM.... Time to get all of my MTs running! By next sat the hobby room will be reconfigured and I can start working on stuff again... I have spent the last month building lipos and selling!

You guys are both copy cats! I've been running 8s 3700mah 20C, Medusa 36-80-1100, and LT-10s ESC in my Savage for well over a month now. HUGE POWER. Literally the truck will wheelie at 35mph+ no problem despite the extended chassis, center diff (leaked out a bunch of its 100,000wt oil), and near-12.5lb weight. The shape the front tires achieve is just unreal.

However, the motor does tend to get a bit on the hot side, I think upwards of 160 deg. F. ESC and batteries hardly heat up, and the truck is geared for ~45mph. Could it be this motor is undergeared? If so, all I have to say is

Not to point fingers but my emaxx has been running since november...

So the 80mm gets warm. I guess try to gear it up... I will be interested to see what happens.
