You can still run mechanical brakes and still have reverse.. i did it on my 5iveT.. (programed the remote to shut off ch3 with a button).. better operating temps and much better braking.. nice rig!!
They put a lot of KV limits that don't really make sense. The Max 5 says the highest KV it can take on 8s is 1000KV, yet you can get it bundled with an 1100KV motor... I think it's more of a recommendation than anything else. Their ESCs are fairly flexible with KV limits as long as you're reasonable.
Aaron, I just built a 30DN DTT-7 and was curious if you have any advice regarding diff fluid weights? It came with a super thin oil in each diff and I decided to try 50K in the center with 30K front and rear. This still seems really thin to me as most of my Arrma/Traxxas bashers run a much thicker fluid. This thing still rips around like crazy on a Max 5 with the 1100Kv motor (800Kv on order), but I'm sure the fluids should be thicker. Thank you in advance for any tips you may offer.
Hi David, congrats on your new build! I run 100k/1m/60k. I feel the 1m distributes the power nicely to the f/r, you can also use silicon ear plugs if you want it even more “locked”. The 100k pulls the truck in the direction I want and the 60k rear allows the wheels just even give to turn nicely. I’m sure others run different oils than me but this is what I have learned to like. Let me know how it goes 😎
@@aaronshobbygarage2338 did you happen to run the Hobbywing 1100Kv as well as the 800Kv in your 5T or other large buggies? If so, do you have a preference?
@@aaronshobbygarage2338 my 30DN truck is 36lbs with two 9000mah batteries and I think the 800Kv will have an easier time hauling it around as we get into the summer temps. I guess I'll just have to find something else to put the 1100Kv in;-)
Hello, I like it for a few different reasons but mainly it runs cooler and I’m not pushing the system. I could gear up if I wanted to but I like the performance I’m getting with a 15t pinion gear. I use the castle xlx2 in my 5ive b and dbxle and really like that setup as well in a lighter setup. Thanks for the comment and view!
The battery trays I purchased from amain hobby by extreme racing. (I did have to do drilling and counter sink to get the rear battery tray where I wanted it) The motor mount is the bl5 from Ddm but I would recommend the wfo mount and the esc tray I made.
bonjour , super video , les valeurs de température vous êtes en fahrenheit ou en degré celsius ,je ne sais pas les limites de température que le 2028 castle 800 kv peut supporter ,vous êtes; déja a 64 mph avec un pignon de 15 T je pense acheter aussi un pignon de 14 T ou 15 T je ne veut pas dépasser les 57 mph on apprend en regardent vos vidéo
Hello, temps are in degrees. In general I try to keep my temps below 150 degrees. Not sure what castle recommends as max but I do believe 150 is more conservative. Happy building!!
