A few of us have Pede with Maxx wheels. I'm working on finishing mine up this week with RPM Stablemaxx wheels and Panther Komodo tires. I'll be running a Feigao 8S and BK 9920 in mine. I also have everything that FLM makes in Aluminum for the Pede. It will be a bit heavy, but the 8S should do fine on it, especially with more than 6 cells.

skellyo - Those panther tires are the low-profile spike type right? Real light I believe. The Maxx Chevron tire is a big leadfoot :eek:

My Futaba clone ESC finally thermal shut down at 300F tonight trying to push the heavy Pede so brushless wins by default.

I ordered a Feigao 380C-6L tonight. Ordered a Warrior 7018 with Reverse to control it. On 7 GP3300's, how strong is this combo? I have the alum idler, but is there a need to limit the throttle on my transmitter (diff gear, driveshafts, etc)? Not quite sure on the BL gearing on 5.75" tires, but I have many pinions/spurs to try. I know the BK 70's thermal at 110C but I hope not to try that.

I don't have any aluminum; but those RPM StableMaxx rims are really nice, I used HPI nitro Rush front arms (strong, $8) in front to make the arms equal length all around.

The stock Maxx tires and wheels weigh 307g each and the RPM stablemaxx wheels with Panther Komodos and Maxx Adapters/Bearings weigh 159g each. It's a huge difference in unsprung weight. That's over a pound of difference total with all 4 tires/wheels.

And the Komodos are these:

I finally got my shocks and bearings in today, so I hope to be putting this thing together for some pics over the next couple of nights.

Yep when I weighed my Maxx tire vs Masher 2K that was on the Stampede, times 4, it came to 1lb.

I know it's huge, it kills the truck's performance trying to spin up that weight, you really gotta watch temps (gas or electric motors); I just happen to like the monster truck thing (I converted from a Rusty & I have a nitro 2WD ST racer; you should see my caged Tmaxx, Moab 40's are 7" x 4"). Seems like current draw on grass with Masher 2Ks = current with Maxx tires on pavement.

I like the big tires for jumping; less things break (unless a cartwheel occurs), & clearance on rough terrain (like rock crawling, without the crawling). They just don't make any that are lightweight.

I'm sure my Stampede is over 5lbs, and the extra pound is at the worst place, but carefully monitored I think the brushless can easily do the job (Emaxx is heavier & still use 1 BL motor, but more cells); hope my batteries hold up. Wanted to get some new GP3300 7's, but the $80 pair that was on here is out of stock.

Anyone know if the 7 cell IB3800 zapped kit here is a complete kit for making a pack (there's no pic)? And how many batt bars do you get for $.050? Also no pic.
