RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - Big Heavy Aluminum Emaxx Needs Bl Motor Sytem Recomendations

I tried a 6XL based on another online shop's recommendation and I loved it -- for the two minutes it would run before the controller would thermal out and shut down. I could run it 1/2 throttle at about 15mph and STILL pull a wheelie. This was on a heavy aluminum Emaxx with the 9920 controller and 4s Lipo.

After the 9920 started to melt the shrinkwrap I went to a 7XL motor and am having much fun running for 20 minutes with no problems! (added a fan to the 9920 as well) I don't get quite the wheelie action I did before, but more battery might take care of that! :L:

So, if I were to do it over I would not buy the 6XL as I now have a pretty blue $90 paperweight that I have no idea what to do with...suggestions are welcome!!

In your case I might even go 8XL as it would be even easier on the controller I think.
