FIRST 16S X-MAXX
#77
Its setup for 16s and capable but i don't wanna waste a bunch of time shooting vids for lower cell count cause the same argument can be posed. This kinda power has to be managed properly and i dont simply wanna blow anything up for everyones amusement. I guess i can ask the moderator to simply remove this thread and it will ease the drama a bit.
1. How do you plan to keep the tires from exploding?
2. Where are you going to install (2) 8s packs? My 12s packs take up a lot of real estate.

back to the thread : xmaxx high voltage : you might need to put 1/5th scale tires to makes it drivable !

Whatever you do, don't let it run into your shins. I was dialing in the reverse settings and totally ran myself over. It hurt.

I got hit by a full on Race Supermaxx that had about 15' of run up. WOT into my leg. Wasn't pretty. Probably won't do that again.
Sadly, my father-in-law has had a brain hemmorage and we have been up in Asheville every day tending to that so I've not even had time to change connectors and test the new X out.

That could not have been fun. It is easy to forget how hard a hit 20+ lb truck can deliver at 35 mph. I can't imagine how hard a hit an 8S or 16s X-Maxx would deliver. Reminds me of the Traxxas XO-1 safety video when it slams into the car door.
