if you want no maintence on motor and battery , go brushless and lipo, otherwise the stock motors and 3300-4600 mah batteries would work great.

Actually I use 2 old 3300 race packs, and a couple of stock 27T motors in mine....the Venom mods I bought were junk.....I might see if I can take the useful pieces off the Venoms, and put them on the stock cans.....arms, bearings and such....

how do you guys have your motors wired?......so each gets thee full 14.4 volts, or in series so each only gets 7.2?.....Mine seem to get REALLY hot if I run them in parallel....

Most everyone uses them in parallel. If you are using 540 sized 27 turn motors then a series is a good option.

Ok....all I've done is a couple slow runs through the living room, and they seemed to get really hot.....so I'll give them a try in series and see if that's better....The 27t motors is just something to fool with till I can get some proper motors for it....

I run a novak GTB and 1 5.5 turn ballistic for racing powered by 2-5000 mah batts. My only prob. is the slipper as I've read others have. I'm in the process of trying to have a new style emax input shaft built for the older tranny. We'll see. As far as the motor plate, I just tape off the extra motor hole and run it.

The older emax eats up the friction pins so I'm trying to convert to slipper shoes used on the newer emax.

Wade stop over on my thread and LMK what all you might want to do
We used to have our Emaxxs pretty beefed up
As far as the pegs I will check with my buddy on making delrin ones
Also as far as the single motor mount it isn't needed at all it is mostly for looks
