Default HV MAXX 6.5 EMaxx

I decided to revive my old EMaxx and put in a new Novak HV Maxx 6.5 and a wheelie bar.
If fit in the EMaxx perfect, easy to hook up.
I couldn't be happier.

I wanted something that will:
1. Pull wheelies
2. Be fun to bash
3. Not tear up my truck
4. Good run times

All of the above with mediocre batteries ($25 3300 mah venom cheapies)

So far I am getting everything I wanted!

I can ride a wheelie for like 30 feet, that is more then enough performance for me.

I am not as concerned about all out power, I don't have the time to wrench on it constantly.

You can wheelie with stock gearrring being 16/66... hmmm with brushless....hhmmm My stock maxx would not wheelie unless I reverse and hit the throtle forward.
maybe it's the stock suspention set up...hmmm I'm not sure but something is wrong.

Yeah, with brushless I can do a wheelie, what is so hard about that.
I have seen vids on youtube of others doing wheelies with the HV Maxx 6.5

If it wouldn't do a wheelie, I would have returned it and told everyone on this site that it sucks.

Well I'm not sure what I'm doing Or rather what I'm not doing... i KNOW VENOMS ARE NOT THAT GOOD but i'd expect the intelects to be better and they woun't wheelie with out reverse.It'll spin the tires like crazy on pavement but not wheelie.

Whats everyone useing for batteries/#cells.


HELP
