How many cells are you planning to run? The c50 should have plenty of power to wheelie, but the long chassis and plush suspension will soak up a lot of the torque (that is what it is designed to do). Stiffer springs will bring back some wheelies, but shouldn't be necessary. I can lift the front of my g-maxx with no problem (lower and as long as the SM). Traction may be an issue as well.

I never had an wheelie also not a mm of the wheels getting up.

I am thinking of buying a good (have to spare some money for the project since all has gone in the supermaxx (2800 dollars, ouch!) esc with which I can run more cells in the future or other motors.

[supermaxx]

I have stiff suspension and is there another way to make wheelies?

[RC-Monster Mike]

How old are your batteries? Stiff springs help with wheelies, as well as placing the batteries to the rear of the chassis. If you put the batteries on the top of the chassis (instead of the bottom), this will make a slight difference as well. What surface do you run on? What motor and controller are you running now? The titans will have a hard time lifting the wheels on a full supermaxx for sure.

I am talking about when I had the hacker and my cells are now llike 3 months old and always put them in the back.

That's kind of strange. I always saw people make wheelies and I am always driving on flat pavement and I never had an wheelie.

[RC-Monster Mike]

Do you run the bowtie tires on pavement? Street tires probably won't give you a wheelie, but a soft rubber tire like the bowtie should give you some good traction. My trucks will not only wheelie, but wheelie violently! How many cells do you want to run and I can suggest a motor for you.

[supermaxx]

For me the best is to run 12 cells.

I want something with a (real) high topspeed and wheelies.

[RC-Monster Mike]

I would go with the xl3600 or Feigao 8L. I work some gearing suggestions up when you determine which one you would like to go with.

You said that the lehner was the better one for me in less maintenance.

So I will choose probably the lehner xl 3600 or a different one?

[supermaxx]

but why do you run a feigao instead of a lehner?

[RC-Monster Mike]

Cheaper. I have 4 rtr e-maxes. One has a Lehner xl3100, one has a Feigao 8L, one has a Lehner basicXL 2400 (high voltage) and one is a test dummy!

[supermaxx]

why shouldn't I take the 4600 or the 5000 from lehner?

[RC-Monster Mike]

You mean the xl4200? The xl5000 should not even be considered on 12 cells. It is too hot and will exceed its rpm limit. The xl4200 will be quite fast, but the runtime will suffer a bit. They work, for sure and I have run the xl4200 in my maxx, but they draw a lot of power (hard on the batteries and bad for runtime). If runtime is not your concern, the xl4200 is quite the powerhouse! Make sure you get the better speed controller for this one for sure!

[RC-Monster Mike]

On another thought, the biggest limiting factor for your goals is probably the cells. The batteries can only deliver so much, regardless of the motor, so they will all perform pretty similarly. The hotter motors will lower the actual voltage while you are driving to a point where it is actually delivering the same power as a slower motor with less voltage drop. If you want the most from your system, consider running 14 cells. The higher voltage will add some power. The 3600xl will handle the 14 cells and give you great performance on 12 cells. For your needs, this would be my favorite pick.

If i have the money in a few weeks I will buy the 3600 and a real good esc and what will be the topspeed of my maxx? Will it do wheelies?

what kind of gearing do I need?
