These areent the best batteries on the market but my buddy runs them in his E-max and they run fine. For bashing anyways. I even bought a few to run my electric cars and buggies. They seem to last pretty long and provide wheelie power almost unltil they are dead.

Two 3000mAh NiMH battery packs for only $55

about how long do they last in his e maxx

 

[robriguez]

I would say about 20 min. of constant WOT

20 MIN that is good

yeah, the 3300 ma cells are amazing! friend has an TC3 with 3300's in it, runs about 20minutes as well. I would avoid the 7cells. Tehy wont give u any more run time, just more power.

i ended up getting a guy to make a set of 3000 mah cells i held w/6 but i sure wanted to go 7 cell.

Have you ever thought about doing the battery mod for the e-maxx on the Traxxas site..I'll try to find the link for it.

Yes you can buy sub-C NiCd or NiMh batteries one cell at a time. Then weld a comm bar between each terminal, solder a wire lead from the - end and one from the + end and wrap it in some shrink tube.....this is best left to someone who knows how to do this. I would NOT recommend anyone try this on their own.....if you heat the batteries tooo much during the welding process they can explode.
