what is the max velocity of the e-maxx brushed? it is possible to increase the velocity placing to lipo batteries?

I strapped a garmin to mine and read atop speed of 30, bought 2s lipos and it went up to 38 mph, next run fried motors though

it will do about 20 to 25mph, with lipos it Will go faster, but the motors can overheat because of the high voltaje. i bought a brushed and upgraded to a mamba monster engine, the difference is an extra 40mph, total 60 to 65 mph. just the lipo upgrade will give you en extra 10 mph.

With the brushed motor it will up to about 20-25 mph with the stock battery if I were guessing. After my son drove my brushless we swapped in a Castle Creations sidewinder 4600kv motor esc combo and a 5200mah 2s battery. Now it is closer to 40-45 mph. And is really tough. My son runs his a naked cage as well no body on it. He loves it.

most of the current kits come with a speed control (ESC) that is setup for lipo batteries. lipos run a bit higher voltage than a nimh battery, and they cannot be fully drained. thus, lipo ready speed controls monitor the voltage of the battery, and cut motor power when it drops to a certain level. The manual for the speed control will state if it compatible with lipo (older model ESCs were not) If it is not, running a lipo could damage the lipo by over draining it, or could damage the ESC by putting too much voltage threw it. if you want to run a higher MAH 7.2v nimh battery, that is fine. higher MAH number means more runtime, and not really more power. A lipo as stated above, just requires a speed control that is meant to handle a lipo. The motor itself can run on either type of battery.

I do not know about running it with lipo's. I will say that the fan runs very fast and loud on my NiMH 7.2v. I would just concentrate on the motor temp and call it good.

I don't know what a kick is, however, I have had a tesla, variable voltage mod, and now have a magneto and it worked great for both. From what I've learned these batteries are best for variable voltage mods, any mod you can adjust the volts yourself. If you have a regular mod like a magneto, I would suggest sony vtc5 2600mah 30amp or the Imr 35amp 2400mah. These are all great batteries no matter which one you pick

I only ran this once with the stock motor and speed control to test it out because I bought it to run brushless with the all steel gears that it has. It's not very fast out of the box, probably like 15 mph . I never tried it with a Lipo, I removed the factory motor and esc and put in a 3800kv brushless

The battery that came with the mastadon was a 7.4v 1500mah Vega power battery lipo which lasts about an hour and that's with the high upgraded brushless motor. Not the brushless that came with it. I can do a back flip with it

I am 58 and this was my first RC Car. The standard battery will be fine to learn the controls, however do your research and upgrade your battery once you feel confident. It took me about a week chasing the cats around the living room each evening doing figure 8...LOL I picked up 2 LIPO batteries 25C 7.4V 2S 2-Cell 2200mAh Lipo Batt:TRA 1/16 Modland a Traxxas 2933 EZ-Peak Plus 6 Amp LiPo and NiMH ChargerTraxxas 2933 EZ-Peak Plus 6 Amp LiPo and NiMH ChargerBEFORE YOU BUY...do you homework on LIPO Batteries.The LIPO's will give you the "kick ass" speed and power you will want and appreciate. I live on a golf course and in between golfers I sometimes race it out on the fairway and open it up..."wow". It goes fast. As far as 4 Wheel Drive...YES, YES & YES!Enjoy!

Yes! Of course you need a battery holder upgrade. http://www.amazon.com/Bastens-2200mAH-battery-expansion-upgrade/dp/B00O2DIZN0 With LiPo's you get more power, longer run times, more cycles and most importantly the battery holds a charge. With NiMH you have to charge the battery before use because it loses a charge while on the shelf. Plus NiMH is annoying with the whole discharge/charge cycle maintenance.

Yes it will it is a good battery. Make sure you have a brushless system that can handle lipos cause it could burn something up if it's brushed

Yes, it's been a good controller for the month I've had it. Bulk, Boost, Float, and Equlize depending on the battery type you select. http://www.epsolarpv.com/en/uploads/news/201206/1338535105981473.pdf

Michelle, if you've Beene using it a lot the battery will slowing lose its power. Your best bet would be to move up to a LiPo battery.

The 3350r velineon system that traxxas offers as a power up grade is the exact as the vxl . So if you bought a velineon system as a upgrade , you have spent more money than if you would have just bought the vxl to start with . I personally would recommend looking into castle creations brushless system instead . Its almost 100 dollars cheaper and you can get a few different power opinions. I up graded my daughters 4x4 stampede to a 3900kv and its geared for bashing . That system pushes it easily to the 45 mph on a 2s 5000mah 20c battery . The 3350 velineon system will push close to 40 mph on the same battery! I hope this helps you out !

i think the e-125 and the e-150 are faster scooters,i brought the 5amp batteries,they work great

It's possible to get the VXL up to 60-65mph, with a 3200 30c Venom 11.1v lipo. Would recommend just getting a VXL instead of dropping a power system into a ready to go XL-5. Don't know what you could do with upgrade. VXL is the only way to go.

I'd say it is a good upgrade. You'll appreciate it more when you use a lithium polymer battery (LiPo). Just make sure that your controller will be compatible with the upgrade set. LiPo battery is not that essential yet. You may also want to check on the battery and motor connectors for compatibility purposes for the whole vehicle.

Not very well. The Razor scooter I installed one in has a 250 watt motor and supports up to 170 lbs. The Razor is meant to run at 10 mph and the e300 15 mph. It boosted the Razor up to about 12 mph, but a charge only lasts about 3 hours. The e300 has a 300 watt motor and can carry up to 220 lbs. I think you need a little stronger battery for optimal performance. You may, however, desire to limit the capabilities of the e300 just a little. That is your decision.
