Brushless E-maxx

is the price going to be alright on the plasma?

Is the price alright on the 125b? I have a feeling that they will use the plasma to compete with the MMM esc?! Hopefully they can get the price down to 250 or less. I always thought that the quark escs were too expensive, but they do run a motor very well, any motor. Hopefully this new design will stay cool!

ya the quarks could be better (the reason they made the plasma)
if it can actually run 6s then its going to be a great one.

If it can handle 6s well, I may have a use for it. Think new emaxx with a kb45 8xl on 6s 5000mah lipo! With a 2 speed geared for 70 wide open! We will see how strong that new emaxx tranny really is!

so when you gear it for 70mph that means it will have worse acceleration than lets say 40mph?

I have a feeling that the combo of a 2 speed tranny and the insane torque of the KB45xl should make up for the gearing. I have a feigao 15l on 5s lipo in an emaxx that is geared for 40 and it will pull the front wheels till 30mph. These vehicles are so light that even mediocre power is too much.

Funny you should say that, someone on the traxxas forum mentioned that in he old days they all ran S cans, and even that was pretty fast- now we all run XL motors!

Anyway, I think the best combo available now would be the feigao/wanderer 8XL & a MM with ubec- that should easily come in under $300.

That was Jamie from Strarluckrc.com. My first BL E-maxx was a 9L and a bk9918 esc. worked ok but ran alittle hot. Was fast though.I guess If I knew then what I know now I shouldve geared down alittle. lol
