.AJ. Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The Summits stock esc the EVX2 can handle them fine and yeah on 4s, the motor is rated to 14.4v, but they can handle up 5s with no issues 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fat Freddy Posted April 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2022 Tidied my “ RC workshop” (back bedroom 🤣). My new Element had a scale garage printed on the inside of the box. Never really seen the appeal of the whole scale garage thing but I thought it might look good to arrange my RCs in it…….. it’s a bit crowded. So you can’t really see the garage anyway. 🤔 But at least my workspace is tidy for a change. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direct power up to 4s 🤯🤪🤣 Are you gonna run a separate battery for it or just plug into the rx? Edited April 15, 2022 by Ant.p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 For now it will be run directly off a 2s lipo, the Summit has a strange esc wiring setup where you can’t easy tap into 4s, but I’m thinking of changing the esc to a MMX fairly soon 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MrCake Posted April 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2022 Took another pair out which almost look to be the same team colours. Trusty slash although before the end of the session I had lost a bottom spring retainer on one shock. This woodland has quite a few RC parts dotted about now and at least 3 of my body clips 🤣. EMB-MT was actually the first outdoor run and I love it already with the dinky wheelbase which makes it want to spin a lot. This was the car I ordered Feb 21 and didn't receive until Nov 21 by which time it was winter! Only issue I had is that one of my battery sets somehow dropped to 2.8v on one cell (LVC just cut in and I stopped immediately)! Seemed to recover to 2.97 by itself and my charger has brought it back up without moaning but is this battery likely fubar now? 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, cycle it under supervision and it should be OK. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
