hey, is it over yet?.... I do beleive the twin dewalt motors can take the car up t 50Mph.. but it will be drawing a whole Sh*tload more amps and more than 700+ watts for sure...

12 cells can do about 1200 watts, and his truck was very light. 1200 watts on a 93 percent efficient motor, that's 1116 watts. that's what is needed to get a light maxx to drive 50 mph.

I had the same setup. I think I could have got more out of it to be honest...Mine was doing the same with 2400 NiCad's. I think LiPo's would have got another 5 mph out of it...

This is a picture of it with 6 cells and the ten turn motor. To house the 7 cells I just moved the battery mounts to the outer holes and drilled more holes so I could screw it in.
I used this esc and this motor.
It was way overgeared when i did the run. Things got pretty hot. I was still new in the game then. I burned my bullet connectors together.
