Hegs44 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Happy New Year All, I'm in an xmaxx group on Facebook. Predominantly yanks. They love the xmaxx. We all talk about Proline tyres/wheels in the uk, they are all about the Mad Max wheels on their Xmaxx's. Can they be got in the uk ?

Ocdcbr Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hi u lot! Been ages since I’ve been on here so just thought I’d say hello. 1/5 petrol has largely taken over for me at the moment. Still have my x v2 but a mate is keen on it so it may go. Ran it in the snow on 1/5 paddle tyres just to try it. It was okay ish. So what’s the latest Xmaxx mods?? Looks like massive motors / pins/ Spurs!! ? hope all all good guys regardless. Happy 2018!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobied77 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) ^^ Looks nice I'm getting a unbreakable raptor body myself, I was going to get the white version. But I am holding out till March time now as I want their new upcoming metallic silver colour (my perfect colour!). There is also a blue colour coming out before the silver also.

scoobied77 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Made myself some battery strap holders from carbon fibre last night, work a treat. Main reason is so I can try some taller batteries. I've been thinking of getting some Turnigy Graphene 6000mAh 4S 65C/130C batteries but they are quite a bit bigger than my current Zippy's. Anyone else tried the Turnigy Graphene 6000mAh 4S 65C/130C? Edited January 18, 2018 by scoobied77 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you may see a difference with a more powerful/amp hungry motor. Comparing battery performance is usually subjective and as yet not come across any meaningful objective comparisons. Just sceptical that there is no significant difference for most bashers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought as much. With a stock motor no wonder you can't tell, it does not draw nothing like the amps my motor does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking about I think I'm going to go for some Gens Ace 6750Mah 4S 70c/140c batteries. They seem to be pretty highly rated and better than the Graphene's.

locky Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Amp rating is not a standard measurement as far as I can tell so some suppliers may exaggerate figure to gain more sales. What motor you running and how have your current lipos performed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 40/50c Zippy's do fine to be fair for regular bashing etc no no problem there. I've ordered a pair of Graphene 4s 6000mah 65/130c to try (can't have enough batteries anyway) which I'll be using more for speed runs as that's where I'll notice the difference most. I might try a pair of Gens Ace 6750Mah 4S 70c/140c later too. Just as well I fitted my straps which I have to say is a much nicer and neater way to mount the batteries, as the Graphene 4s 6000mah would not fit otherwise.

What does it look like underneath though with all them nuts ? If they get hung up on something could they break off or worse case get ripped out and trash your chassis ? Or did you go nuts up which may damage your lipos if they move ? Needs some better pics before im convinced on this move please but agreed it certainly looks I lot better and easier to change packs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batteries won't budge mate with the straps, they are very secure. I can pick the whole weight of my truck up with the straps holding by hand so I think they can handle the weight of the lipo's. When they are strapped in they are staying in! Edited January 19, 2018 by scoobied77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobied77 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Little update, I've actually cancelled my order of Graphene 4s 6000mah from hobbyking and instead (after looking about) for a bit more money you can get a much better spec battery from Ludicrous Lipo's. Nice that it's a UK company as well, reviews on them seem very positive so I'm gonna take a punt on these as they seem to be the best out there without importing from the US. They come with a 6 month warranty for piece of mind. LUDICROUS Lipo's 8000mAh 4s 14.8v Race Spec Lipo: LUDICROUS LI-PO's offer an excellent value by providing factory direct pricing and quality that meets or exceeds that of other major battery manufacturers. Our batteries go through strict testing and quality control procedures in order to provide extremely accurate mAh, Voltage, and C ratings. Don't let their low cost fool you, these batteries outperform major manufacturers batteries!! Features: True Capacity and C-Rating 4mm Bullet Output Leads for Continuous High Current Draw Thick 12AWG Discharge Leads Durable Hard Case Deans Ultra Connector JST-XH Balance connector 4mm Bullet Leads Capacity: 8000mAh Voltage: 4S /Â 4 Cell / 14.8v Discharge Rate: 100C Constant (800A) / 200C Burst (10 sec) (1600A) Charge Rate: 2C (16.0A) Max, 1C (8.0A) Recommended Watt Hours: 59.20 Wh Weight: 600G Dimensions LxWxH: 138 x 46.5 x 45.0 mm Discharge Plug: Deans Ultra Connector Balance Plug: JST-XH Edited January 20, 2018 by scoobied77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interested to see your thoughts on these two and half times the price of the zippy compacts so I hope there atleast twice as good ! Fantastic size and weight very impressive indeed One thing that gets me is if there really as good as they say they are why use a crappy 100a max deans connector ?
