Oh, maybe he did use 12s. Do you remember how that went for him? Any problems running such high voltage?

Well, electronic wise, it went ok, but the spur gears didn't appreciate the power. LOL I think he stripped a bunch just from giving too much throttle at too low of a speed. Imagine the power of 12S...you could have a 100+mph G2R (Hello touring car killer?). I'd love to see a setup G2R blazing past touring cars on the onroad track.

I have seen posts from Joe describing standing backflips with a 12 pound Gmaxx, I would guess thats the hv model

Nah, you don't need crazy high voltage to do that. Standing backflips can be done on as little as 5S or even 4S with the right motor and gearing.

The schulze continent sized controller( 160.40) can handle over 12s easily.
It's sooooooo damn huge, though.

and the schulze also costs a TON of money lol

hee hee for what? I hope you are not expecting a MMM on the 15th.... although I would love to be wrong, it's going to be a couple months at the earliest.

I think he has this mixed up with the re-opening of the GorillaMaxx site.

captain harlock · 02.28.2007, 09:01 PM

I'm planning to get a MGM16024 controller very soon, but would you think it's better to wait for the Monster Max, although it's pretty early?

jnev · 02.28.2007, 09:34 PM

Yep, you are right. I think I am starting to go blind, lol. I was talking about the Gorillamaxx website.

Lol Oooops:d

Not HV perse...that was only with 5/6s lipos. :) HV to Castle is 7s lipo plus. The Monster Max motors are XL motors with lower kv's (these have not been finalized but are going to be around 2000kv) ...if the packs can't provide the current the motor is trying to draw in the system the performance suffers. No estimated release date on them yet...when you're inventing something from scratch you NEVER know what's going to come up and have to deal with issues as you go along. :)

Thanks Joe.

Can you tell us if they will use segmented magnets or not?
