Speedo too hot?

I was stripping down the E Maxx after a good session the other day and found this.........witch alarmed me some what :eek:




Am I about to become a member of Serum's expensive club???

Looks like all you need is a cooling fan or you might be a member soon.

Its dead Jim. Mine looked like that just before it went poof.

[squeeforever]

looks like you fried some of the fets.... what motor are you running with that?

A 7XL squee, Its never felt too hot after a run, and it always has a 40mm fan on top and on 18 cells it sure does shift the air.

any ideas as to whats caused it , as it still works at the moment maybe its not too late.

It's a Schulze, thats the problem, lol.

Probably a loose connection according to Schulze.(seems to happen spontaneously)

You gonna get it repaired?

[Sneeck]

Loose connection's rofl that's a good one.

You useing the internal bec?

[Gustav]

They don't have one,it can't be that,they just have this smoking habit.

yup I've got one, you can see it in the second pic.
I use 4mm tubes and replace the cages every other month !!

Not sure about how to get it repaired, its probly a better idea than putting it back in the emaxx though

Should have gotten a real bl esc then....

j/k, that wasn't very nice when you break a expensive esc. :rolleyes:

[Gustav]

You might be one of the rare lucky ones that get it fixed under warranty but they seem to cover themselves pretty well against that and normally charge for repair.

I'd e-mail them, but might be time to cut your losses.

Take one of those little fire extinguishers with you if you decide to run it to death.

I was waiting for that one :L:

In fact I'm still waiting for the 'Grim Reaper' himself to post here asking for the photos :eek: :L:

A 7XL is way to HOT for 18 cells. Try a 9 or 10XL. With the right gearing the slower turn motors will be just as fast(if not faster),have longer run time, and not beat your speed control to death.
Schulze speed controls are good but there customer service is horrible!! If they fix it under warranty it will be a shock to me!

Thank you,

Yeah, I would fall of my chair of pure unbelieve..

I am having doubts if i should add this one to my wall of shame...

Time will tell.... Becoming a member takes some serious money, unfortunetely...

The 7XL is quite a hot motor indeed.. Rhylsader burned his 18.97 on 16 cells with this motor.. though a few members on this board use the 7XL on a 9918/9920 who are doing okay..

well, here is the wall of shame for those that can't wait.. (hint with the scrollbar you can scroll to the right to see more horror.... i doubt if the scrollbar stays this short)

You got something for this wall of shame too Promod?
