Thought I'd share some quad video footage that I took of my friends Bajas a few weekends ago. Will try and get some of the xmaxx, just need someone to drive it whilst I fly the quad. Love the quad footage mate. Whats the quad? Cam setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a postcode or address might have to pop over there Cool, will give you a shout when I go to Oxshott, will be great to see 4 xmaxx's running together Slough buggy track is here, I parked in the rugby club and walked to track, lane to drive to track is only open on racedays. Also an old bmx track on the walk there, bit overgrown now though. https://goo.gl/maps/EnxFGL7HmUm Edited January 21, 2017 by chilau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 With that foam how it is in my tyre, is it worth Glueing (IVe just got the Gorilla Glue for Rubber/Plastic), or shall I bite the bullet and buy a pair of wheels and tyres for £60. I have £37 in paypal towards them. ID rather not buy them, but if the foam is split is it gonna be a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just buy new tyres and use the foam from them then just reglue you old tyre back on ? i went the set of tyres route for ease but I did strip the old tyre off for a spare and kept the wheel you never know ?

Built-in Anti-Spark System The MAX6 is built with internal anti-spark circuitry that protects not only battery connectors from damage but helps to prevent physical injury due to burnt fingers from the inevitable issue of sparking when hooking up the ESC to higher voltage battery packs (5S/6S/7S/8S). http://www.hobbywing.com/goods.php?id=410&filter_attr= Does that mean a single 7s pack as opposed to a 3s+4s?

This is from the manual So I stand corrected you can run odd cells but you'd need to run seperate lipo alarm 2. LiPo Cells We strongly recommend setting this item manually instead of using the default setting “Auto Calc. (which means calculating the LiPo cells automatically)”. The ESC can only identify 3S, 4S, 6S and 8S LiPo packs when setting this item to “Auto Calc.”. After you power on the ESC, if the battery voltage is below 13.6V, it will be identified as a 3S, if the voltage is from 13.6V to 17.6V, it will be identified as a 4S, if the voltage is from 17.6V to 26.5V, it will be identified as a 6S, if the voltage is above 26.5V, it will be identified as a 8S.Note 2: 1) This ESC is not intended for 2S operation. Even if you can set the “LiPo Cells” to 2S, it still does not work. 2) You need to set “LiPo Cells” to “Auto Calc.” and “Cutoff Voltage” to “Disabled” if you use a NiMH pack or a 5S/7S LiPo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly for odd packs you need to set LVC to "disabled" and use a separate alarm. It's a shame really Well, anything above 4s anyway.
