After cooking the stock BLX motor during our desert style bashing session James decided to upgrade the ESC as well as the motor. The first combination used was the Castle Mamba Monster X with a Cen Racing Colossus 1450kv Motor running on a stock pinion. This combination ended up creating too much heat and the ESC would hit thermal cut off very frequently. The Mamba may have ran better with a Castle motor but we did not have one to try. Many people told us that the Colossus motor was great, and it was. We could have installed a Castle Motor after the Colossus but having heat issues before with other Castle combos that we have run in the past, James decided to go with a HobbyWing Combo instead.
I have been running a HobbyWing Max 6 in my Xmaxx for over a year with the stock Velineon motor with zero heat issues. We also run HobbyWing exclusively in all of our crawlers. Several of our street cars as well as a Slash also have HobbyWing Max 10 combos. Also, the Infraction is running on a HobbyWing Max 6 with a TP Power Motor. Basically we have run them a lot and have had zero issues with one. Ever.
So the second Combo was an easy choice to make. HobbyWing Max 8 Combo with a 2200kv Motor running on a 14T pinion. So far it is running great in the Kraton other than shredding the tires with in minutes. But we have solved that problem with some upgraded tires and that will be in a future video.
