LiPo Question

[mmdooley]

Hi all, I have a 8XL and a 9920 and I would like to know if two 3S2P 11.1V LiPo's wired in series would be to much for my t-maxx or not??
Thanks

I would run pretty hot. I would shoot for more like 5S lipo. If you really want to run 6S lipo, a 9 or 10XL would be awesome.

Thanks Squee, What LiPo would be the same as 16 cells? I have been told that 5s is the same as 14 cells and 6s is the same as 18 cells. Is there a way to get LiPo's that equal 16 cells?

[squeeforever]

Actually, 4S is more like 14 cells and 6S is like 20ish. 5S is somewhere inbetween.

WEll 16x 1.2 volts = 19.2 volts. 5 x 3.7volts = 18.5
IF you happy with the 16 cells speed run time and temp of motor. I would run a 5s system. You should see some performance gain. Lighter weight and more consistant voltage from lipo.

It's about the weight/power ratio. and depending on the punch the lipo's can deliver.

5S would be nice for the 7XL

Thanks for the info guys.:027: I believe with the weight reduction the 5s system will be all I need (for now) I am running a 16/51 right now with no heat issues. With the lipo's and 18/51 things should get interesting :004: :043:

[coolhandcountry]

Try the 16 51 gearing first. You may see a speed increase for the lipo holding better voltage under load.

What upgrades do you have on your maxx? stock diffs with the tupperware shafts wouldn't last too long..

[coolhandcountry]

He has the cvds rene. dooley has a thread on his some where around here. I remember it well.

And aluminum diffs? cups?

[squeeforever]

I believe he has hybrids.

Those will survive the torture..

He has a thread rene. I think corey is right on the hybirds. Mooley did it up right. Asked some question in the process. Now he the proud owner of a kick butt maxx.
