I run the 9xl and had run a 7xl. I have ran both with 18cells. Have not tried lipo yet. Looks like it does pretty good.

Nice! I remember the modeltech days myself(I had a few of them). I run my e-maxx on 22.2 volts occasionally to show off. Pretty hard to drive on a track, but it is impressive on open ground.

That vid. is making me reconsider the 7xl/9920 setup i was going to use. What controler did you use on that truck? Dafni is going to fall out of his chair when he sees this video:D

Why is that Crazy? 7XL should be capable of similar performance at the cost of a few more amps. Wouldnt run it on a 6s though.
I'm really suprised by everyones reaction to the vid. You cant really see the explosive wheelies and tire spinage from the vid. Doesnt help that I cant keep it on the road either.:p I'll make a real vid when I get some time.

The 7xl could handle the 6s, and would be a beast as well! Judging by the video, my e-maxx would beat it on 22.2 volts, but you can't really tell by the video. Of course, my e-maxx is probably a bit lighter! I need to get some video of my e-maxx with some voltage.

Hi Mike,

Sorry for interrupting, I was under the impression that the 7XL's bearings cannot handle 6S in the long term as they are rated only to 50K rpm ?

BTW poconoblmaxx, your truck is awesome.

Regasrds,
Joe Ling

Welcome poconoblmaxx! Nice RC's. I also like the Buggy.

Crazyjr, I'm still sitting! :p This truck IS fast, no argument, but I would guess (hard to say from the vid, though) my Revo would not stay behind. Not much. On 16 cells and the 7XL it can move, too.

I'm sure the vid does not do it any justice.

Pocono, make sure to share some pics of that Revo. Have you seen mine, btw.
I'm seriously considering Lipos and a High end Lehner now. Something that works on 4S, but could also stand 6S. Let's see.

Thanks for sharing, Pocono. Glad to have you here.

The only reason i am reconsidering a 7xl is that i'm thinking a 8 or 9xl might be a better option for me. I'm looking for a setup that is more efficient with a 5s lipo upper limit, because anywhere i race here i will be racing against nitro's and i need an ultra efficient setup to run long mains without pitstops (even one in a 30 min main would be a problem).

with the 5S setup, i would take a 7XL, but the 8XL would do too.

But for endurance, the 9XL is the best choice.

Thanks again for the kind words everyone.
Mike I wanna see that vid when you make it.:eek:
Yes I did. I actually searched through the forum and collected all the pics of bl revos I could find and studied them before I started mine. :D

Cheers, mate. I hope you liked what you saw.
I'm building the second Revo right now, collecting parts, but will have to wait for some crucial parts (mid Nov ;) )

Meanwhile I'll work on a MBX5.

Good to have another Converter here! The maxim is: We take the good and make it better :Love: BL rules!

Cool vid. Were you opening her right up?

Did a speed run today 46.8 on GPS. A new personal record for me.

Really? It looked loads faster on that video!

@ crazy A 9xl with a lipo packs say a 6s 6000mah would or should run a 30 min main with time to spare. I get a 25-30 min on gp3700. I drive kind of wild. I think some times i drive it like I stole it. :D

@ pocono What gearing do you run on your truck? I like to know final drive if possible.
