I have a Losi DBXLe 2.0 with BRP 7" wheels. I want to get the best long-term ESC and motor. Should I go with a Castle XLX2 + 800KV or 1100KV? Should I run a Max5 + other motor combo instead? FYI... I have the stock 13T gear but also have a 17T and an 18T gear waiting. Thanx!

@gaffle7646 3 года назад

What would you suggest for my DBXLE2.0? XLX2 ESC + latest firmware 2021 (I think I want to stick with Castle) Castle 1100KV Castle 800KV TP Power TP5870 1100KV TP Power TP5870 990KV TP Power TP5870 900KV I've got 16T, 17T and 18T pinions and will keep the stock 50T spur (I don't want to change the spur). I want much greater than stock speeds on dirt (never street) and greater torque to give me wheelie power. My current batteries are 6500mah 100C (4s x 2 = 8s). I want to stick to an 8s system and I'll be getting cooling fans for the motor. Thanx!

@johnyortiz8774 Год назад

I have an Arrma Fireteam which I plan on keeping stock for some time but what would you recommend as a good esc/motor combo for that vehicle? I do more off road speed running and small jumps than big jump bashing or on road speed runs. I would also prefer to keep it as a 6s vehicle as that's what I'm vested in as far as batteries go. I wouldn't mind getting an 8s capable esc but it would most likely continue to be run at 6s. Thanks for any help and great video. Much more informative than most everything else I've seen.

@rcbustanut2057 2 года назад

Awesome breakdown of these motors! 😎👍 Can I ask you in your opinion, when does negative gearing (pinion larger than spur) become necessary or beneficial? I have been looking for all over the place for info and I can't really find anything. I have experimented a bit with this & found that, like you mentioned, it's a trade off for high speed & less torque. I have ran 34T pinion w/ 29T spur setup on my Limitless & as well as a 45T pinion w/a 29T spur. As I kind of expected, I got higher speeds with the 34T/29T which is the "lesser" negative ratio due to the drop in torque. Any info you can shed would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 😎 👍

Cool review of big RC motors, I'm considering running the Castle MMX 8s with 1717 1,650KV Motor in my XO-1 roller project and my future Infraction as well as maybe a Sledge and i might get 1,260KV for an X-Maxx someday.

@unspecifieds Год назад

Gotta give my fav to the 1100kv hobbywing. Gave a 3800kv castle motor a go in an arrma (yes, i set it up properly) and it burnt out on a 16 tooth pinion and a 50-ish spur within a month of ownership. Tried an 1100kv hobbywing axe motor and it’s worked with no issues for 2 and a half years now. Castle is more for performance, it takes skill to work them properly. Meanwhile hobbywing is mainly reliability, but in my opinion, their motors are just plain better.

@degaboss 8 месяцев назад

what arrma did you install the 3800kv motor in? if it was on a 3s you would have a 50 or a 57 spur, i have a 3800kv motor on a typhon and has worked great with 15/57 gearing

@defg4484 2 года назад

Nice video! 👍👍 i got a max6 & a 2000kv//4274 Motor and want to swap it with the 1650kv//4985sl. I would like to mount a larger pinion and achieve about the same speed as with the 2000kv motor, but with better temperature values and a better weight balance, since the 2x 3s batteries are positioned on the front left and the motor on the rear right. The motor is almost as heavy as the batteries and maybe I can benefit from this.

@njd879 Год назад

Woaa buddy, merry Christmas! Love this video it has helped me to make 2 major purchases for my 8s vehicles. Well I'm watching it over again. I just got my first hobbywing max 5 1100kv set up and not sure if I should bother switching out my 1100kv castle xlx2 in my k8s just to try or if its even worth it. My only negative with castle xlx2 is it has given me nothing but electrical problems. Like now my sensored wire only works if I reverse the plug going into the esc with the white wire on the left rather than the right side. I would appreciate any help with the sensored wire that goes to the motor and esc. Castle has already replaced one xlx2 with the QS8 connectors I just have a bad taste in my mouth with castle electronics 😔 I bought the max 5 combo for a Christmas sale just not sure what to put it in. Maybe I'll get a xmaxx roller I have never had one before. Thank you so much for your inspiration and merry Christmas.

@VikingDudee 3 года назад

Im fine with my 4x4 Stampede with a 2650kv motor and 11tooth pinion. Its around 35mph, I was hitting close to 60mph with the stock VXL system, but that thing ran hott! Even with a 9tooth pinion it was some where around 45mph and got toasty by the end of the pack. Good for 2s I guess, but I got so many 3s packs. With the 2650kv 3670 motor, it runs quite cool, and the wheelies thing does now is effortlessly, and temps are way better.

@dustang5.O 2 года назад

Sounds like a good setup to kill some time.. It’ll never give the full on rush that a 1:5 or even a 1:8 scale overpowered RC can do though. Being “fine” with a Traxxas 2S-3S RTR basically means you started out at the bottom of the barrel (same place I did, Traxxas marketing is fantastic and reels in the beginners) and you are sticking to the starter truck lineup and never venturing out. I’m currently going down my list of 12 RCs (just got into the hobby in June of this year so I’m still building up the fleet) and removing the installed ESC, motor, and pinion/spur gears, whether they are RTR or installed onto roller, then stepping up the voltage to the next level. So my 3S rig will run 4S, 6S rigs will run 8S, 8S rigs will be upgraded to a Castle MMX8S or XLX2, 2S brushed get 3S brushless. Then all of them are getting a heat sink for the specific vehicle along with a motor fan and a Spektrum receiver (SR6100AT, SR6110AT, SR6200A, SR315, SR215) to link to my Spektrum DX5C transmitter, I’m never “fine” unless it’s fast enough to wreak havoc on my nerves.

@jasonbudd2950Jag 3 года назад

Epic comparison & show n tell Brandon . 👌 You nailed it with the Big CC 2028 & HW 800KV.. That CC 2028 'needs' 12s IMO to really shine & get full RPM out of the Can. The 1100KV Cans are 'much better' for 1/6th & 1/5th scale cars on 8s with relatively tall gearing they are great. My favourite motor out of that line up is my CC 1717. its an absolute Animal on 8s, I luv it for on road speed runs or even overpowered 1/8th bashing 💪 👊

@InnovationRC 3 года назад

Love the speed and crazy torque but would it be more effective to run the 1100kv & xlx2? Thanks for the awesome videos.

@westie659 2 года назад

I went with the hobbywing max5 with the spektrum 1250kv did have a 25/47 was to tall motor was getting way to hot went down to 20/47 still getting hot so went down again to 17/47 seems to be good there but still gets hot after 10-15 minutes of run time ive got no fans for the motor tho and the pinion came loose today so not sure if that was causing it to be hot didn’t notice till I got home and went over it tho

@scottallen6478 3 года назад

Informative as always man, I got given a new HW max6 combo 1650kv, ideally should go my Kraton, what about running it in my infraction on 8s how will it perform speed wise geared appropriately?

@InnovationRC 3 года назад

Definitely a solid setup for either vehicle. Just watch your temps, once you get used to the how long it takes for temperature to rise, you may not need to check it anymore and you'll just know when to stop and cool down.

@markkumollari43 3 года назад

You'll need to flip the motor mount around and get a bigger slide to fit the motor. Also, make bigger battery trays on the one battery side so it'll fit oppositely the motor. The stock tray doesn't hold much to be alone

@AutoBodyEverything 3 года назад

So it’s not practical to get a higher kv motor if it’s going to cause you to gear down bcs of vehicle weight? Would that be the same as gearing up on your existing motor? I have the Team associated RC8.2e and it’s all stock. Let’s sayyyy I wanted a little more speed like 10mph more and NOT loose torque, what do I do? Add a one more cell? Bcs gearing up will kill my aggressive acceleration that I love most about it. If I went up 2 teeth and one cell, yes I’ll go faster but will the extra cell gain back my torque that I lost going up two teeth?

The review of the 1100kv hobbywing in a 30+lb vehicle isn’t really correct. I ran it on 8s, (stock gearing )13t pinion 50t spur, hobbywing max 5 esc in my dbxle and it reached temps of just under 200* with a gcrc Maximus v2 fan setup for about 10 minutes. The manufacturer states for “light duty 1:5” and 6th scale. I swapped to an 800kv and all the heat was gone even when i went up to an 18t pinion. Temps were 106* I prefer my hobbywing over the castles I’ve had. The castle burned out too quick, got too hot too fast even with stock gearing and massive fans. Sure HW isn’t as “powerful” but they last longer. This is just my experience. But good reviews man!

What spur gear and pinion you would use on the 5687 motor? I’m just trying to go 70mph nothing crazy.

Will VERY likely go with a Castle 2028 1100kv when I buy an Outcast or Kraton 8S EXB; a friend is running an RTR Outcast 8s with a 800kv 2028 and 39/39 gearing; thing gets barely warm. One thing about the Spektrum stuff: most people dont know, but the motors and ESCs is just relabeled Hobbywing stuff. So no reason to pay extra, when you can get the same thing for far less.
