One less thing to worry about.

Thank you sir.

Even better.

ROSS · 09-22-2009, 11:06 PM

yes these are sweet...everyone will be very happy...
i ran the piss out of my emaxx with dual motors on both 4s and 6s and still didnt fry it...came close but no go...
also ran both a 12t and a 19t on 4s in the slash and both motors fried, even tried gearing way down
the trottle control is great.

JohnRobHolmes · 09-23-2009, 06:17 AM

I forgot to add the one year warrany on these guys, added to the first post.

CreepyCrawl · 09-23-2009, 07:00 AM

No power switch...one year warranty...this just keeps getting better and better

crcoppens · 09-23-2009, 09:59 AM

Any chance you will be coming out with some BIG emaxx motors to really test this thing out with?

JohnRobHolmes · 09-23-2009, 02:02 PM

nahh, no big brushed motors for me. Kershaw designs has that stuff though.

dub599 · 09-24-2009, 11:36 AM

Congratulations jrh! This ones been in the works for a while!

chip cross · 09-25-2009, 09:31 AM

Got my controllers today, thanks John for all the work you have put into these. I am going to see how the M.O.A Losi likes 4s with some of your 35 turn motors and these new speed controls. With out a CCBEC or ON/ OFF switch it is going to clean up the trucks wiring a lot which is a big plus.

microgoat · 09-25-2009, 12:43 PM

Just did the first test run. Holy crap this thing is smoother on the bottom than a stripper

Running an old Integy 35t on 6 NiMH (yeah I know, not pushing it too much am I?) and it's as smooth as a sensored BL. Drag brake kicks ass, too.

The only thing I'm concerned about is those little weeny receiver wires. Are you sure they won't essplode under a 5A draw?

JohnRobHolmes · 09-25-2009, 01:29 PM

They could warm up, yes. The RX plug itself is a huge limit.

Flyin Hawaiian · 09-25-2009, 02:09 PM

Got a pair coming for my New berg build. Thanks man.

Is that actually smooth?

Let me reread that.

I dunno man, not too sure about that one.

I'll have to try it for myself, then go get some strippers and blow and see where you're coming from.

Flyin Hawaiian · 09-25-2009, 11:50 PM

Hows the drag brake? Is it stronger?

you have to consider the last stripper Stu probably saw was in 1979

I have a 4s batt on the way, rockracer rig here I come

ecoli · 09-26-2009, 04:03 PM

Any idea on when a decision will be made as to whether you'll be offering these in a waterproof version for an additional fee?

j33pownr · 09-26-2009, 04:06 PM

I just smoked my fxr and I love the drag break on the fxr. So if your drag break is compairable or better to a fxr then I will probably get one when I save up some cash.
