a guy at my lhs has one with double lipo and double brushless systems.

What motors is he running?

Yub, yub, cmdr!

The EVX-2 is rated motor limit for 550 is 12 turn! That means you can put in a pair of Titan 12T for extra top speed. Has anyone tried it?

How do you guys think the emaxx would perform on 2 6000mah 2c max amps lipo packs total of 14.8v as apposed to the 16.8 nimh. It would be 4 times the amps but lose 2 volts.


I know everyone doesnt have the money to go lipo but it is one of the most amazing upgrades I have ever done to my rc collection. I run Max amps 6000mah 2c lipos in my trucks and it is like an entire new setup with only changing the battery, ALot more consistant power, longer lasting, Lighter. And 3c 5000mah pack will make your wildly fast and powerful and not take up much more room than a standard 7.2. (I just dont have two 3c lipos for an emaxx.)

The lipos would perform great in the new E-maxx. I don't think the EVX2 has a lipo cutoff so, you will need one.

I think you are right. This last time I charged them one went to 1800 and the other 2000. It's getting better. [8D]


This truck is a lot of fun even at only half speed (training mode for my son).

Training mode is always fun because you still have all the torque. They should continue to get better.

Always Dreamin

They might be good, but they are a no-name brand. You should stick with IB, GP, or EP.

rhino420

okay what do you mean stick with ib gp ep im not familiar with those abbreviations and now that im looking at this can i fit a hump back pack on the new emaxx since now it has those EZ battery holders?

Always Dreamin

I don't know about hump, but these are made for the e-maxx- http://maxamps.com/products.php?cat=78

Ib, Ep, and Gp are all the names of cells. They are all good. My next one is going to be a Ib.

The only ones I have ran are the gp3300's but I hear they are all good.

My Feedback: (51)

The hump pack will not work in the E-Maxx you need the lay-down packs, all flat.

I got 2 9.6v 4500mah tenergeys and they work great!

VXL ENCHILADA

im leaning toward number 3 let me know thanks in advance

ChuckDeez

#3 is the way to go if those are your only options.

rhino420

thanks chuck!! im not tryn to spend anymore money right now so im tryn to get away cheep fro the time being then later on im going brushless and lipo!!

hemiblas

I agree with #3. Seems like a good buy.

alexei111

I Think it will be cool for someone to review the new e-maxx here on rcuniverse.

rhino420

so i ordered the two pack 8.4v 4200 mih all i have to do is soder the traxxas connections and we will be off to the races!!! illl let you guys know how they work they might be some good backs for 50 bucks u cant beat it my lhs wanted to charge me 80 for one7cell battery pack !! crazy !!

sloppyG

a good pack can be had for about $40 ea

I've ran those cheaper packs, and the cheap 7 cell is slower than a good 6 cell pack

hemiblas

Those cells are actually pretty descent. My concern would be the construction of the pack and how they attached the 7th cell. My last pack like that had a really cheap connection and it turned bright red right before it melted.

rhino420

well i should get them in the next few days hopfully and ill let you guys know. how they work i still have to get the new traxxas connectors on it i hate doing that sodering stuff!
