If it's set to auto-lipo you don't have to do anything differently to run 6s. A lot of people run manual setting (say 3.2v/cell) however for added caution.

As noted above the MMM comes with the Castle Link. If you get the Tork you'll have to spend around $22 for the Castle Link if you want to program it via computer usb (unless you have a castle link...
This should be it. the JST is the same as the Align.https://www.maxamps.com/proddetail.php?prod=HYP-MULTI-ALIGN&cat=212
How much accuracy do you need. GPS is accuracy is much less than 1 mph (probably .1-.2mph).
In the case of the "speedo", the gps reading is most likely the accurate one. Auto speedometers are quite...
Congrats man! Truck seemed pretty stable. Looks like low profile erevo body works really nice aerodynamically. The gear change will probably net you that 80.
Additionally you can tell if it's set for auto-lipo when you connect a lipo pack by listening for beeps matching the number of lipo cells (series). So if you have a 4s pack, when you turn esc on you...
Just curious, what nimh packs will rival those lipo packs he listed??
Check if your slipper is too loose. I found that when mine got loose it heated up the whole trans assy including the motor. Also I think I read somewhere that the timing could be a factor but I don't...
Congrats on 60 Larry. Nice job keeping it tracking straight.
Amp draw is difficult to pin down since there are many variables especially from one vehicle to another as well as driving style. Average amp draw will be much lower but peaks can be over 100amps....
I think it's best to remove the motors when cleaning. that way any gunk in the motor can be flushed out properly. I'd use the motor cleaner for the outside too.
Man, there's no middle ground with you, huh Neil. From shiny nice truck to bent grass filled frame :D . Well hope you get everything straightened out. Glad to hear your MMM is still going strong too....
The new FLM chassis is a little over $100 too.http://www.addicted2rc.com/E-Maxx.html
Yeah the *****'s have better selection for the higher voltages. I don't know about the rhino but if you're gonna run 2 x 4s then these would be a good choice though they cost more than the rhinos....
*****'s can be had from *********. Just make sure they have them in stock before you order. I hear the wait can sometimes be long if not in stock....
I use *****'s, yuntong and maxamps. So far they've all been good. TrueRC's are supposed to be good for the money also.
I had that problem too. It seems on high power setups the splines (where the two halves join) eventually start to strip. I think heat from friction heats the plastic speeding the process. You can try...
Did you try the screw on the shaft alone to make sure the threads are ok?
That's a 3000 rpm/volt motor (66000rpms on 6S). As Neil mentioned, power will be insane but motor life will take a serious hit.
You can try using a thin rod such as an allen wrench to see if the holes line up properly.
Yeah, check each battery individually first for volts then connect to your harness and recheck. You should be able to isolate your problem this way.
I don't think it'll make much of a difference. Should be fine.
In addition to what bluebill mentioned try using the auto-lipo setting if you haven't done so already. If you have a multimeter you can also measure the total voltage of the batteries when hooked to...
It's a good idea to get a clamp for the 8xl. They have been known to come apart on impacts and crashes.
Shouldn't this be easy to test. Run 5v through a motor and check current. Then increase to 10v and see what the current is. The neu motors usually list their resistance. Computations can then be made.
