Go brushless if you really want speed and power.

Tires increase your overall speed? wow.

tndiverdown

Like SCHLEEP says, If you want that kind of speed, your only option is brushless.

tndiverdown

To an very limited extent. If you go too far with larger diameters, they can actually slow you down because you will reach a point that the effective gear ratio is so high, the motor can no longer pull it. Also, the cost of top speed is acceleration. Raising your effective gear ratio, whether by gearing changes or tire size changes, will take away from accelration. Larger diameter tires don't play well with the stock slide shafts or the EVX either. You will twist more shafts and you run the risk of burning out your EVX running gearing that is too tall. Best bet for speed and accelration is brushless.

what kind of run time can you get with a brushless setup?

tndiverdown

My twin force with the hv has about the same runtime as my stock e-maxx with the same batteries. The twin can cover a lot more ground though. It is very close in speed to the S-25 I used to have.

If you dont already know, your emaxx will go alot faster if you use 7-cell battery packs...
but otherwise, brushless is the way to go

nitro monkey

well here is ur problem get a nitro and ull have a lot more fun

yep iv got a 7 cell set up thanks though i think i might get a fusion they seem nippy enough

jake

thanks for all the help guys

do you have a peak charger though? If your just using something like an ac/dc timed charger, and not a digital peak charger, it wastes a LOT of valuable battery power. Peak chargers fill the battery to the maximum potential with out hurting them. Timed chargers...well...they suck. Also, what SIZE batteries are you running?

im running 3000s im not a big fan of the timed 1s ether yeah ive got a peak detetion 1 a very basic one mind [&o]

get 3300 with duel charger

wont that just increse the run time

Well of course the emaxx will look like a snail next to a nitro at top speed. But it will have much more torque and acceleration off the line. If you want to race your buddy's schumie, I suggest you take it to a very tight track with lots of inclines. Otherwise buy a nitro or go brushless, and that's it really.

so brushless would do the trick whats maxx speed you can get out of brushless setup haveing top of the line every thing

camra88

your running 3000's? if they are the cheap batteries, thats your problem right there. batteries are the heart of the emaxx. if you got two 3000 batteries for like 40 bucks, they are cheap and worthless batteries.

yeah man my batts only cost like what £40 how much do ya think i shud be looking at spending on them

my batts are sakura stick pack ni-mh 6 cell with added 7th

G-Maxx

Its called an up grade motor.I got some ups and mine flys like a bullet.

pritch

Sakura are a budget brand, having said that I've never had problems with their ni-cads. I used to run the buggy off them. I've got quality LRP Ni-Mh 3000s in atm. £60 ($100+) for the pair but worth it.

MAXXacceleration

Brushless E Maxx. Geared to go slow. Spool/spool.

hey man i like the pics can you have a twin brushless set up or would you still get the same torque with the one brushless as you would with the titans

jake

MAXXacceleration

I think its been done, but a single brushless is more powerful than the twin stock motors anyhow.
Plus you'll be blowing tranny/driveline parts left & right.
