What are you selling it?

I was, but decided to keep it.

Looks like its having an epileptic fit...

Looks like its expending a great deal of energy to flip itself back over. I wonder how this effects run time?? Say if it has to flip itself back over twice in one session...

2 3s 5000 mah. 2 times no problem. saves you from having to walk down the stand 50 yards round trip 4 min walking to and from to flip it over. I didn't notice much difference at the track.

So you're happy with using 3S 5000mah batteries? I'm trying to find a good pair of 8400mah packs for my Xmaxx but Hobbyking stopped carrying them and there don't appear to be to many other options outside of Traxxas packs.

Oh yes. I fly 2 3s 5000 mah on my Eflite Carbon Cub and my new Eflite Trojan. I have 8 packs of batteries and to be able to use them on XMAXX is awesome. I dont have to go buy new batteries.
Joe

That would be a great "value add" but I thought 8400mah packs would be helpful for the added weight and run times. Hopefully my 5000mah packs are still good enough.

Ok, so who's tried HV lipo batteries on the Xmaxx?

Well I have turnigy 3s 5000mah 65 constant-130 burst discharge and let me say the motor gets a little hot on a scale 1-100 85. The batteries a little warm on a scale from 1-100 I'd say 15. cant really tell its warm. I don't think they will ever puff from overheating and probably last way longer.
Joe

So HV is definitely not a good option without dropping the gear ratio. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm going to order my Xmaxx after the holiday...thanks to Tower which decided to wait until the 24th to release all of my gift certificates.
