Tom,
I have realized I have no way to afford lithium and strengthen the truck to handle this type of power. I think strengthening is more important.

Here is a good review. The whole site is awesome, a real basher's dream, but a racer's dream also.

Also, is $6.99 a good price for unmatched Gold Peak 4300 loose cells, or are the $35.00 4200 mah stick packs the better deal? How important are an extra 100 mah, are they really worth the extra cost?

I've heard nothing but good things on the BBB packs - so i bought some last night.

Will give some feedback when they come/i've built them :)

I'm of the opinion that you dont need such a monstrous set up to have fun as the others said - if things are breaking cos it has an obscene ammount of power and a lot of weight - then it will suck.

Pick something like a Plettenberg Bigmaxximum or Lehner 1930, and run on like 18 cells.

Cheaper, less powerful (but still 1800W is a huge ammount of power) and you can get away with using cheaper cells cos of the reduced current draw (and that = less weight, less wear, more acceleration and more runtime)

Lots of cells and huge motors are fine in a 5th scale thing like an FG or something, but to be honest i think you'd have more than enough power with a cheaper set up - and a lot more fun.

Are Gold Peak cells better than Intellect Batteries cells?. The Gold Peak cells seem to have a higher price pe mah rating compared to Intellect Batteries? I also think the drivetrain is fine.

Here is promods thread about his truck.

Look at his drivetrain setup, mine will be made much stronger than that. I think a good setup will be using a 2250 13 turn on 36 cells with full CVD's, alluminum diff cases, and robinson racing diff gears if the stock one strip out. I do not abuse the trock and drive it very nicely on pavement only at high speeds, and I never allow myself or anyone to jump my emaxx at any speed or height.

the GP3300s are really excellent - but the 3700s are best avoided (not as good as the 3300) and the 3600s plain...sucked.

The IBs have a good reputation - i'll do a comparison when mine arrive.
