e-maxx user looking to go brushless need opinions

[Procharged5.0]

The numbers refer to the number of turns. The 8XL rotates 2084 RPM per volt applied (w/no load). so for 14 cells @ 1.2v per cell (just for example) you end up with 35,011 rpm. That's in the "sweet spot" for the motor.

The UBEC (ultimate battery eliminator) is needed to supply power to the servos & receiver plus it keeps heat out of the ESC by reducing the work the ESC needs to do to supply the electronics with 5-6v.

The mamba maxx is limited to 12 cells (14 is ok too but "beyond it's specs")

The current rating is 100 amps which is fine.

Serum wrote a beginners guide to brushless. I'll see if I can find it for you. It's quite well written and explains alot!
