Batteries are the most important part of you system, If you are willing to carry the weight of 36 cells I would suggest a 10sp2 lipo setup it will weigh the same or less and deliver the power that motor needs and give you very long runtime. A 400$ motor and a 400$ controler should go with 400$ batteries, not 50$ or 50 cent batteries. It would be like trying to run a car on cat pee. Now 400$ batteries are not nessisary but personally I would go with no less than some 3800s or 4200s quality cells. But seriously if you want to run a 2250 throw the budget out the window because to build an emaxx to handle that type of power will not be cheap, I would go with the best stuff ue has and cross my fingers... dragging around 36 cells will stress your drivetrain like crazy. I would like to see it done it would be a neat truck, I wouldnt mind drag racing you with my Jammin CRT 2240 8s lipo...:eek:

Yes but he has to drag 36! cell's from a dead stop to full speed. By the time he does that, the crt is long gone.

That's a passed station guys.. I am not a complete idiot... like i said in an earlier post, i'd take 16 good cells above 36 crappy ones..

We came to the GP3300's.....

These won't smoke.. (unless your name is Sneeck and you add them to your old packs.. :p )

You got weight advantage. 36 cell's will not get to speed to quickly. Need's to be 100% perfect balanced to stay in 1 straight line, not crash half speed into a curb without steering.

@ Serum,

The 2250 has no problem dragging the 36 cells around. Mine would drag 26 around like it won't nothing it was just the rest that didn't like them.
I am not worried about the motor as much as the rest of the truck.
I am surprised I didn't twist a cvd or something up like a pretzel. :D


Peace!

Just my opinion but i think it's just unpleasant if you need to cringe every time you nail the throttle,it's called mechanical sympathy.I don't think i'd like to run 2.5kg of batteries with all that torque,i think it would just feel bad.It would haul though,literally,you could probably pull your road car along at a few mph.

Could I use a 10s lipo set up from max amps? Could I use the 4000 mah packs with out burning them up or would I need to use 8000 mah packs? Also, how good are these lipo cells and is this deal good?
