HV Buggy

There won't be a big diff in weight between the EMAXX and a 1/8th buggy so the HVMAXX should work just fine. It seems thermal issues have always plagued the HVMAXX no matter what application. I believe if you disabled the BEC and used a UBEC you may be able to reduce some heat.

I believe Novak has an external capicitor available that should also reduce the HVMAXX's thermal tendencies.

I don't know about that. My Maxx is a tank coming in at over 12 lbs.

This buggy is a feather weight compared to the Maxx.

Even with a big Li-Po pack it wont weigh 12 lbs.

On another note: Are the RRP pinions that I use on my E-Maxx going to work on the center diff?

Probably not. Most buggy center diffs are mod 1 pitch. Your emaxx uses 32 pitch.

OK,
I need to clarify as I was referring to a stock emaxx with 4S Lipo ~9+ pounds
If you are running nimh's you'll have one heavy buggy ~10+ pounds.

This may sound like a dumb question but: Is the electric motor/diff mounts for sale in the shop here reversible? Meaning can they be flipped either direction so the motor can be placed on either side of the vehicle.

I'm talking specifically about the one for the Mugen mbx5. I'm sure it's not, but I can't tell which way it should be turned by looking at the picture.

Thanks,
