60 mph mamba brushless setup for e-maxx, would this work?

I also would like to use the supermaxx differentials. Will these differentials work with the fastlane machine chassis and the driveshaft it comes with?

I already did this 8mos ago w/ my BL Revo. You will get ~45mph w/ the 8XL on 16cells.

Now this is alot of power, and its very fun to drive, but if your big/only goal is to do 60, then you need to ~2x the power. On 5s Lipo/8Xl/MM i did 48-49 mph reliabiably. My conversion parts were light, but this was a stock 2.5 chassis and talons. Dropping weight I could see 50-51 I'm sure. This is the very edge of what a MM can do.

To get to 60, I would say you need ~2500+W for an avg/light Maxx. My 5S setup was ~1800W realisticially. As speed goes up, each increase in power shows diminishing results.

You will need an expensive drivetrain to do this as well. G/l trying to keep the front down. The MM cannot provide enough power unless you get your truck to insanely light weight (~7.5 or less I would think, but just a guess.)

An MGM/Neu may do it. I would try to run as much voltage as possible with a low kv motor and gear tall.

This is not a budget project btw. Face up to spending the $$, or realign your goals w/ your budget.

Making a 60mph truck does not make sense for bashing either. Dragsters do not make good daily drivers. Low 40s is plenty for bashing. Trust us, we've done it, we know. I barely even run my 5S batts, and that's only on the street for speed runs. Even 35 is fast on rough bashing sites like contruction lots.

Johnnymaxxima used 2 7XL motors on 5s lipo to each. Would the same motors with 16 cells to each, full metal transmission, supermaxx differentials, and MIP cvds geared 24/51 be a setup to reach 60? I really do not have the money to get lithium. Is the extended center driveshaft that comes with the Fastlane Machine chassis compatible with supermaxx differentials?
