Hey guys.

Recieved my new E-Maxx Brushless today from Mr.Jayanth of RC Throttle Bangalore. A very positive buying experience. Would recommend his shop to anyone in a heartbeat.

Got a set of 2S 6000 Mah Lipo's as well on Mr Jayanth's advice.

The box came extra well packed without any damage whatsoever. Was too excited to take any unboxing vids or pictures.

But here a few Pics. Videos will follow in a day or 2.

What is the brand of the battery you brought?

I dont suggest anything more than 4S on this car. You will be stripping diffs and tyres and makes the car uncontrollable.

By the mah rating,I would think its one of the Tritech lipos.If Jayanth got them for him,I'm pretty sure these are the ones.

Hey Congrats! Nice looking truck! Can we have some videos?? A few videos of the other rides as well please!! :D
Terrain? If I cant Slash it, I'll Savage it!!

Spot on iamahuman. They are tritech 2s 6000 mah 35c lipos.

And took the truck out for the first time today. Let me just say performance with the Included Nimh batteries is good. Can pop wheelies and it's pretty controllable.

With the LiPos it's a whole new experience.  Wheelies on demand. During a run. Not just standstill. And it's really really fast. Almost popped a standing backflip. Landed on the front bumper. A bit more and it would have landed on the tires.

One small problem the stock shell gets scratched very easily. Scratched it pretty bad when I had to do some really hard braking to avoid hitting a friend who stepped in way. Truck did a front flip onto it's roof and slid a few feet :(

As for videos will put up a few in the next 2 days.

With the stock batteries itself its so fast and pulls off wheelies easily, wonder how it'll be once you use lipo's  :)

Your batt. are way much expensive, you could have got dynamites,venom or even better ones for it
I'll be back.

ajit4647

@ shashank - will try to get some good vids with the lipos tomm.

@traxxrc1 - no regrets. i got them and they are pretty good. and as long as they can make the Maxx put a smile on my face i am happy. Maybe when i pick up a second set of batteries or maybe pick up a set of 3S then i might look for a better company. anyway picking up a Summit as well, so might just put the 2S in there.  ;D


oh btw if u look closely u will see a cell phone taped to the truck. we were trying to capture FPV style vids. will try to upload those as well.

Almost every RC lipo batteries are just rebranded including maxamps. A major battery manufacturer based in Korea who my company consults for said that lots of the RC guys buy from them and rebrand.

So nothing surprising in seeing Tritech batteries. But prices are crazy considering you can buy hobbyking batteries for peanuts. Lots of batteries can be brought with no names from China. They should be almost same quality as this. And dont believe the C rating on them.

Took it to the beach today. a few pics. whatever rocky surfaces there were it climbed over with ease as long as the throttke was used gently.

only photos and no vids. will upload a vid later as i am doing some more tomm.

in the rocks shown in the pics, it was not placed anywhere it was driven throughout and cleared almost everything. even the gap in the 2 rocks in the pics.

will try to get better pics and vids tomm.
