7xl specs?

[coolhandcountry]

If you get the 8xl I am curious to how they run as well. I only got about 10 min with 7xl. Not sure why so big of a difference. that was with 18 cells same gp 3700 just they was newer at the time.

farout 10mins, must be because the batteries were new aye? cause it takes a few charges and cycles before the batteries are at their full potential. I dont know what i'll get lol. it'll be like a month before i order anything so i have a bit of time to make a decision. Im gonna use 1st and 2nd gear and gear it up a bit from stock. I'm keeping 1st gear cause i use my truck alot at home in my little back yard, just climbing over mums old plants and towing stuff lol, and it will give me better run times. Then when i take it out for a bash or take my dog for a run i use 2nd gear.

How much faster than stock is the 9xl? will i reach around 40mph with 16 cells with stock gearing?

the 7xls will be the wanderer version when they come back in stock as well.

im not sure but that sounds close. i do know that your gonna need a aftermarket slipper. i would recommend the strobe with the ofna derlin spur and a sprong kit. this will require mod 1 pinions though.

The sprong thing doesn't work with a Savage tranny, does it? After racing my 9L'ed Savage today, I've come to the realization that it's just not working as good as I want, and I think I really need the 7xl now. There's a few other things I'd want to try, but right now the tranny's blown up, so I gotta have some "getting to know you" time with it first.

you wouldnt need a sprong kit with a savage cause the slipper pad set up the savage already has is pretty good. you need to for a maxx cause the slipper peg set up just isnt up to the job. Thats just what i think.

the savage slipper is great. no need to upgrade that. What went wrong with your tranny? the 2nd speed?

Don't know what happened yet, all I know is that something died in or on the tranny that won't let the power go through it. I think I killed a gear, because it was having some serious binding for about 1/2 of a full rotation.

take it apart, i am curious what happened.. :)

Any day now. Possibly tomorrow! Sorry for the slow reply(took me a while to find the post) :)

I'm curious as to what kind of runtime the 7xl would get compared to my 9L, it'd be longer, right? Runtime is one of my main concerns, so much so that I'd consider going with a 8xl instead almost.
