HV-Maxx or something else?

One essential thing to remember is your motor can only put out as much power as your batts can give it. An 8XL on 14cells will do the best part of 45mph, and will embarrase (sp) the HV maxx in terms of acceleration. An 8XL on 18cells will do 50mph without too much difficulty.
Coolhand has used 2 HV-maxxes in a truck, but says a 9XL on the same cell count blows them away. Believe me, your friend will be blown away!

I'm currently running an 8XL with a 9920 in an 11 pound truck with 14/51 gearing, a strobe slipper and 5s lipos. I have not even attempted to up the gearing yet but I will once I can drive it at this speed which I would put at about 40mph. I previously ran an HV-Maxx system and like others have said there is no comparison. In addition to everything else the system just runs cooler and I get 20+ minutes of run time. Like others told me when I was asking these questions, you won't be disappointed with the huge upgrade in performance.
