E-Maxx info I have discovered in my quest for answers:

[old phart]

This info might be already old news to some of you, but to me knowone could answer my questions and the info is not out on the interent anywhere I looked..........

The stock E-Maxx "Titan" motors are dedicated, proprietary 14.4V motors.

The Trinity Monster Maxx series motors are dedicated, proprietary 14.4V motors.

The Traxxas VX-12 ESC is the only 14.4V capable ESC currently on the market.

The Traxxas VX-12 ESC does not split the voltage internally and send 7.2V to each motor.

Each motor in an E-Maxx is being supplied a full 14.4V

The Novak Dual Rooster Combo kit being marketed will not work with the stock Titan or Monster Maxx motors, due to the fact each motor will only be supplied 7.2V

In order to use the Novak Dual Rooster kit you must also use standard 7.2V motors.

If I am wrong about this, I would like to hear from those who know otherwise! http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

Doing back to back full throttle acceleration and maximum performace stops, will after 6 runs cause yout Traxxas VX-12 ESC to go up in flames! Trust me on this one!

The Traxxas E-Maxx ESC isn't the only 14.4 volt ESC. There is the Tekin G 20 and the Astroflight 208D both can handle 20 cells. There are more out there too.

I forgot about the 208D from AstroFoight. According to RCCA April 2001 issue it can handle a max of 30 amps and 24 volts. My question is if you use this ESC, or one like it, how many volts and amps will actually go to the Motors? If you use it with 12 cells for the E-Maxx would it split the voltage to 7.2 to each motor or would both motors get the full 14.4 volts?

ammo- if you wire the motors in parralell each will get 14.4 volts. I wonder where you got some of this info? lol

I wish i took pics of my esc when mine blew. I still can get some pics of the batts.....there sitting on my deck contaminating my entire property

[baih]

the astroflight 208d does not have brakes.
it is in the article in rcca april.

[J mAn]

OMG it kept saying there was a server error so i tried again every few minnutes i didn't think it actualy went trew, sorry!

[R_C_MAN]

baih- The stock E-Maxx control doesn't have brakes either.

[ammoace]

I went back to my issue and sure enough, in () no brakes for all to read. Bummer!! http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/frown.gif I guess that is why I didn't see that it doesn't have brakes. It was right there staring me in the face. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

Is the 14v system better?
