Maxx cells with XL2000

[rcjmaxx]

I just ordered the Lehner XL2000 here to use with 22.2 volts or 20 cells.I noticed in your ad it says this motor can be used with "16+ cells",I was wondering just what is the maxximum numbers of cells that can used with this motor? Thanks

22 would be the maxximum, before it exceeds its max rpm. though you can push it further, it is not recommended keep in mind that the motor may 'only' take 1300 watts, = 60A on 20 cells. it will be a blast on 20 cells!!

I ran one on 18 cells it was fast. My truck was to heavy for the gearing and cell count. It was really suprising for the size motor it was. IF my truck had been lighter It would have been better. I would guess i was running in the upper to mid 40s.

My Emaxx with 20 cells and a steel rollcage and GPS is a bit under 13 pounds.I'm hopeing to get high 40s to maybe 50 mph.I know 50 is asking a lot for this heavy of a truck but I'm gonna try anyhow.

It is not the truck. It will be the motor. I burnt mine up trying this. I had heat sink on it to. Fried the windings in side. If you want that fast try a 7 xl or 8 xl on 20 cells. I had a 7 xl and it would run with traffic on 55mph highway. I crashed that in the 50s and it tore the motor apart. The 7 xl may be a better choice for what you trying. jMO

If you going to run 20 cells you may want to try the 8 xl.

Yes, indeed.. The 7XL is a bit on the hot side, to use with 20 cells.. I am going to build a savage with 20 cells and an 8XL

With that 2000XL, you might consider using 20 GP2200's it saves a lot of weight, making it accelerate faster and the motor will run cooler.

What tranny mods are you guys using for these speeds and power? I have steel idlers and lube on all the gears. What speed control will use with the 8XL and that many cells?

i use a 9918 with my 8xl and im just using the supermaxx idlers but my weak spot now is the wheels just spun the hex out of my new jumbomaxx wheels this motor has tons of power my maxx weighs about 15lbs and is faster than a tmaxx with 18 cells

I run the steel idlers as well. I had a problem with the wheels until I stepped up to the 23 mm hubs. I have not had a problem since. I did break the pins off through the input shaft gears. Not sure what to upgrade on that. I run a schulze 18.97.

Hey 820 maxx what kind of run time you get out of your 8 xl. I was thinking about going up to an 8 xl. Since my 7 is in motor heaven. I weighed my truck it was 14.5 pounds ready to run.
