Heavy maxx what motor?

[squeeforever]

8xl wont really run to hot with the appropriate gearing. the 10xl can take around 24 or 26.

26 now that is insane! I just noticed that a Warrior 9920 can only handle up to 20 cells. The 3695 can handle up to 36 but it's 400 bucks! for that kind of money id want a lifetime warranty.

Squee,

Quoted from g-maxx site itself;

Up to 8 cells flat per side

If it hold's more, good.

[JOHNNYMAXXIMA]

Yes, the gmaxx will hold 8 cells flat on each side with another 7 on top of that if you want, for a total of 30 cells.
Now your heavy Maxx just became even heavier.

30 cells will prolly weigh more than the truck it self :005:

[coolhandcountry]

It has alot to do with your driving style to. It you put around it will last longer with less heat. You can run more cells to.

Is the 3695 the cheapest one that can hadle all them cells?

[Sylvester]

Yea, you wont find a cheaper controller than that for your cell count.

Is the 36120 worth the extra $50? It says 42000rpm max.

[Sylvester]

First off, sorry, i just saw this thread, what motor are you gonna run, on what cell count? Your motor shouldnt exceed 42,000RPM.

[Sneeck]

If you really want to run 30 cell's, i'd get some lipo battery's. The batt's alone weigh ~ 2 kilo's so it will not handle pretty.

Also 30 cell's ~ 36 volt's. If you get the 36120 you need a motor that stay's under the 42.000 rpm. That rule's out the 10xl cause it will be spinnin' at 59688 rpm. The 15xl will be just under the limit at 40032 rpm, but i'd go for the 18xl just to be safe.(since high performance battery's have more volt's when fully charged the motor will spin faster, like a normal 6 cell 7,2 volt pack has roughly 8,4 volt when fully charged. Imagen how many more volt's you got with 30 cell's)

The 18xl will spin at 33336 rpm.

I don't plan on using 30 cells 20 is what i plan on using with a 10XL but i just want to be able to run 22 or 24 if i wanted to later on without needing to buy a new esc.

[Sneeck]

That would work. 24 volt's x 1658 (rpm per volt) = 39792. Still at the edge, if every cell has roughly 1 volt more when charged you will exceed the 42.000 limit. Ofcourse these number's are without load, so running the motor in a heavy truck like this will be different. But better be safe than blowing a 400$ controller right.

[coolhandcountry]

The 3695 doesn't have the limit so it is less worry. The 3695 will take the 10xl no problem.

I think i will stick with a 10XL on 20 cells and the Warrior 9920. So you guys think the 10XL would be the best for my maxx?
