J.K Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 You can charge the LiHV's to 4.35v per cell, as opposed to the usual 4.2v. According to hobbyking you need a "special" high voltage charger to get the benefit out of the LiHV's. They can be charged using a standard charger but you'll only get the cells up to 4.2, so not making the most of their potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock ESC reliability issue?? If not, become a member of the Traxxas forum as well. The VXL-6 had and still has serious issues - not clear what other than possibly poor and inconsistent manufacture - many seem OK, but quite a few spontaneously combusted!! There was an update, which included a 'fused wire' which was supposed to safeguard against this, plus a software update, suspected as being a decrease in available 'punch'. Problems persisted, but were fewer. The VXL-8 does not have 'ignition issues', but has been known to simply stop working. Basically the Traxxas ESC's don't seem to have the QC required for a reliable product, hence many are using aftermarket ESC's. Max5, Max6 are favourites from Hobbywing. XL2 / XLX is an option from Castle. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoePGM Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 oh...... I know the burning issue in 6s ESC but nothing about 8s, and now good to know it will simply "stop working"..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock ESC reliability issue?? The original 6s esc was apparantly unreliable, and you got a huge performance increase installing a Max 6, it felt the stock esc was limiting the power. The new 8s is apparantly much better but there are a few recorded problems. As a result I decided to go with a Max 6 in my V2 just for a confidence point of view tbh.

Stock is 8.0 x 4.0 so maybe an inch taller trouble is badlands grip so well it might cause a lot of rollovers I actually like the stockers but we will see.
