nice video also, what kinda runtime you getting out of 6s 1p A123 cells on the 10xl

Haven't thought about that tranny. Might have to look into it. It's a single speed right? Do you know if it will work with the RRP HD slipper setup I have on my maxx tranny?

I use about 1500mah in a 5 minute qualifier. Luckily we only have 10 minute mains so I can get through them with a 6S2P

Yeah, the 3905 tranny comes locked into 2nd gear as standard, but it wont work with the RR slipper setup saddly- uses a round input shaft and a pin to hold the slipper plates in place, rather than a hex shaped shaft.

That is a beautiful E-Maxx, mine is still in progress.

Thanks Crazy,

I picked up a Zippy 6S 5000mah 20C-30C pack to replace my 6S1P A123. I liked the A123 but wasn't a fan of the run time, especially for racing.

First initial test run was good. Motor warmed up but nothing bad. Second run didn't go so well. Had a light dusting of snow so after about 8-9 minutes of wheel spin and drifting I got a lot of glitching and no go. Tore the motor down to find this.

Looks like the magnet let loose and was flopping around in inside

I think I'm going to give one of those 70mm or 80mm medusas a try and definitely gear down a bit. It was EXTREMELY fast geared 22/66 and obviously over worked the motor :lol:

80mm medusa FTW!!! :yes:

Those make for good science project magnets, Or they can hold a small child to the refrigerator.

suicideneil 12.11.2008 07:36 PM

Lol, indeed- even my de-magged hobbycity 9XL is pretty dang strong, makes a beautiful fridge magnet. :yes:

Nick, nice E-Maxx man. I am still waiting for my 70mm Medusa for my eLSP-R and bashing with my maxx for the time being. Very nice work you do.

I'm jealous man. I had an LSP I was converting but never got around to finishing and needed the cash for other projects. Ended up practically giving it away. I was happy it went to a good home where it'll get finished the right way though :mdr:

Yeah, I remember from BYT. Looks like this one will keep you happy for the time being. :intello:

Seen some of the 70mm Medusas running and I'm impressed. As soon as I can get a hold of an 80mm and figure out how to get a center diff in this truck I'll be back to running.

SunnyHouTX 01.21.2009 10:51 PM

I am with mine! I am running a 36-70-2000 on 5S and it's a beast! I might end up stuffing that on my E-Maxx with 4S and get a 36-70-1600 for the eLSP-R to be run on 6S... IDK. The choices are driving me nuts.

NickRummy 01.22.2009 09:03 AM

Yeh lots of options out there for sure!

feistyacorn 01.22.2009 12:34 PM

Man that is a awesome looking truck! I love the custom chassis. Someday I would like to convert my old t-maxx to a emaxx. Would it be possible to get that .dwg from you? Keep up the great work!

SnoopMaxx 02.17.2009 02:16 PM

Hey Nick
I like that custom chassis and the chassis braces :intello:
What is the WB with that chassis and did you extend the chassis equally front and rear ??
