My Gmaxx build

[George16]

Thanks. I guess it's nice to be in the military sometimes .

Tell you what though, I think she's more fascinated of the shine from the aluminum. She does not like the Revo as much as the supermaxx .

The supermaxx in front of her used to be my son's truck (he's 8 years old). I just retired it from active duty and now will just be on display . He likes driving the revo better so I will be converting it to brushless. I 'm thinking about ordering the Tekno RC revo conversion kit and will run a Neu 1515 1Y or Medusa 36-70 (when they come out) and MMM (once I get my replacement from CC).

Might as well update my build

Here are some pictures of the 3mm aluminum plate I cut and installed on the bottom of the ESC. I also added the 2200 caps killajb gave me. Performance wise, I got the ESC temps to 150*F, motor at 112*F, and batteries 98*F yesterday. This was stop and go running on asphalt. I also experienced hesitation when I tried to run wot. Batteries are Neuenergy 25C 5000mah.

Anyway, here are some pictures:



Also glued a piece of rubber underneath the aluminum plate.


Added caps on the power wire. I also shrink-wrapped the standoffs.








I also installed some plastic spacers to clear the capacitor wires. The spacers widened the gap between the board and mounting plate. Better airflow for better cooling. The gap is about 3/8".




Gap before I installed the plastic spacers.

wow man nice!

why did you give up on the MMM?

have you run it yet? looks sick!
get some vid up with the new esc when you get a chance

I did not give up on the MMM. In fact, I have 2 MMM V3's coming as replacements for my bad V1 and V2.

I bought this ESC from Lutach as a backup for the MMM until they sort everything out.

oh good to here as i just ordered mine as well. but lutach's exc looks beefy too!

give us your thoughts between this and the monster. this esc might be a viable option for when my dad converts his savage!

If you are running a neu, adjust the timing to MID. That cured my hesitation problems.

The timing is set at mid. I think the cogging was due to the LVC kicking in. I charge the batteries last night and prior to charging, I noticed the voltage to be at 10.45V. I set the LVC cutoff at 19.2V.

Thanks Shaun. Video won't be until this weekend once my son decides to go out with me. I just soldered the other pair of caps killajb sent to me and I plan on installing it on the MMM. Has anybody installed caps on the V3 yet?

I was able to test the ESC again today. About 20 minutes of running. Temps were: ESC-135*F; Motor-125*F; batteries-88*F. Air temp was about 66*F.

Here are some videos (pardon the cameraman, he wasn't to keen in doing it ):

That thing has some insane power! How fast does it go?

Acoording to BrianG's speed calculator, it's geared for 55-57mph. However, I have not confirm that using a radar gun or GPS. I do know thta it has too much power hence I'll be stepping down to 5S once my 2S Neuenergy lipos arrive.

That truck is wicked sick... love the project George16.

WOW did it do 2 flips from a dead stop before the wheels touched or was i seeing things, holy cow

I think it did . I wasn't really paying attention on that. I was more worried about the ESC after those flips. I'm glad it still ran after all these videos were taken. This ESC is tough.
