Is it normal? - 03.20.2007, 03:54 PM

Today I ran my SuperMaxx in the open for the first time and the truck was like WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH SET ME FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE......

It was a whole new experience for me. Incredible power!!!!

My setup is a 1950/10, 6s FP EVO20 3700MAH LIPOS, SCHULZE 149.18 and gearing of 21 pinion and a 36T spur with a Slipperential.

Even the slipperential was not able to keep the truck on the ground the whole time!!

Any way, I accedintally lost a pillow ball retainer and noticed something that caught my attention:

Lipos were a bit warm. My driving style was monsterous, indeed, but is it normal for the lipos to get warm after a few passes? or probably the motor's heat affected the packs?

Thanks,

WHAT A RIDE!!!

Al. :)

How hot were they? They actually perform better when warm around 100-110*F is normal.

that should be no problem - for your own good measure temp the batts with a temp gun (for your own knowledge) so you'll know exactly how hard your pushing it......


Hows that "Hope and Change" working out for Ya???

captn, after a full run with my 1950/7 on 4s 3700 flightpowers they get slightly warm after the full run, but my maxamps got a good bit warmer so it really shows the quality of the cells.


The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

Did you find any difference in performance between the MaxAmps and the FPs?
