Ok, so I have pieced together a new Emaxx. Got the diffs, center chassis, tranny and steering from Sike (thanks buddy!). I had the front and rear suspension sets hanging around. Found some traxxas wheels and bowtie tires in the parts box. Had to buy a few things, mainly a pair of steering servos. I went with a pair of futaba 3050 servos. At 6.3v from the cc bec they are super strong and fast.

Motor choice is a Hacker C50 15l? with a quark 125b. I put the question mark behind the motor as I am not sure that it really is a 15l, but it must be close to the 1600kv rating. Power comes from a pair of 2200 20c 5s lipos from UH.

Gave it a trial run with 20/48 gearing (mod1) tonight. Wow, at around 30mph full throttle results in killer wheelies. I ran it hard for about 15mins, and think that slightly lower gearing would be good. It is too fast, maybe 45 mph, so I figure 20/52 would be ideal. This motor has alot of power. Kind of like a feigao 7xl that spins up faster. The slipper is getting a workout! Without the wheely bar it will do a back flip from a stand still, and land on the tires. I have to say that this is the most violent rc I own at the moment, great fun.

I can definately say that the hacker motor is much more powerful than the feigao equivalent. Can you believe that i have a 13l on 5s in my LS10! That truck is geared for about 50mph and even then it does not really load the motor. I have an older emaxx with a feigao 15l that I run on 5s thru a 9920. It is only 2wd and does not have anywhere near the power of this setup. I can only imagine what a hacker c50 xl motor can do. Guess it is time to search one out!

Pics will be put up tomorrow as the camera is out of reach!
