Fast E-maxx
First of all, does anyone have a super fast E-maxx. Please tell me you upgrades and some pics if you have them. Next, can you run two brushless motors on one speed control? How fast can an E-maxx go with nice batteries and two brushless motors?

RE: Fast E-maxx
i think u can have 2 brushless but it not gonna be cheap but one brushless motor is way fast enought like 40+ if u get a nice one. thats nitro speed. lol

RE: Fast E-maxx
One Brushless motor honestly is fast enough, the motors run the same speed anyways.... It would just accelerate even faster. And it doesnt need to... believe me. I run the Novak HV-Maxx and two GP3300's and can keep it with my friends T-maxx. @ motors only adds weight and acceleration from both sides of the spur gear. Ill get pics up soon.

Ok, well its a waste for me to spend that much money to get a car to go 40+. I already have a revo that with a few minor upgrades can go to 45+. I was hoping a really hoped up e-maxx could go faster.

ok, I could spend less than that to hop up my revo to 50+.
Or just use my Rustler, which I now use mainly on street which already hits 50+.

Yea, but it wil be too expensive. I can add a $500 worth of engine/mount/exhaust/gearing parts to my revo and get just as fast as the electric, but its not nearly the cost of an e-maxx, two brushless motors, and ESC, and gearing.

Yea, I heard somewhere a hoped up electric could go way faster than a hoped up electric, but it doesnt seem like it after reading this here. If I put a .30 in my revo, it could get 60+. But that would be $500.

RE: Fast E-maxx
This is my Brushless Maxx... I am having a very hard time getting gearing and things to work to its full potential. Does anyone know a very good gearing pattern for the HV-maxx???
