man these things kick arse!
That's it, I gotta say, you're now looking at a 100% xmod convert here....
Yesterday I finally popped a nelly 1.3 in to my xmod. Previous to this I was running my plasma/atomic can combo on stock fets and the 8t pinion. Top speed was good, torque was crap.
Once I put nelly in though, damn! What a difference. Now it only takes a minute of driving to unlock my ball diff. The take off is great now, and top speed has increased dramatically. ON stock fets the ball diff never loosened up. I had it setup pretty tight too.
What is interesting is that the XMOD on the tammy speed checker clocked in at 24kph with the above setup on stock fets. Once I put nelly in it hit 27kph. This doesn't sound like much, but day-am! Put the bugger on the ground and you can clearly see the increase in performance.
It just goes to show you how the XMOD suffers greatly from the in-efficiencies of it's AWD drivetrain. So basically whenever you can get any extra torque you should try, it makes the biggest difference!
I'll post some pics of the setup when I get the chance. The install wasn't too bad actually, considering the turkey the xmod is when building/stripping.....

What is it really, can I use it running lithiums?
At what point while using it, will something go wrong with my electronics?
Is this all I need to run a fast motor and lithiums?
Do you take money orders?
Do you ship to Barados? (near Jamaica)
Thanx
PS I visited the nelly site but wasn't satisfied with the general info you gave to I am askint the suurse directly

2) er, the website descibes what nelly is. yes you can run either li-ion or li-poly fine.
3) wtf sorta question is that ???

4) Yes, in the electronics sense.
5) I guess I can, they would need to be in $USD though.
6) Sure, worldwide via Airmail.
What did you find the website lacked in the information dept? I always want to improve it.

Does the xmod w/ nelly have stock parts? If not, what aftermarket parts have you installed to strengthen it?
Thanx
