I'm so glad I just watched this video! I have a team Corelli punisher which runs hobbywing rebranded motors and ESC and I've had problems lately with my trigger on my remote and I couldn't figure out how to calibrate the ESC and now you showed me thank you so much
I ran the motor/esc specs through three different calculators. If Hobbywing didn't inflate their numbers this combo should produce a 28hp @ 300 amps @ 50v. That would be wild, but here's where it gets crazy. If peak current is actually 2000 amps, @ 50v that's roughly 180hp, depending on efficiency. Mind-blowing. 🤯
Awesome! Couldn't wait to see this motor/esc combo in a big rc! You didn't say anything about it being sensored, but that first slow, smooth, non-cogging pull was butter.
Holy hell Joe!!!! That is bad ass man!!!! Don't know how I missed this video, start my daily get ready for work routine watching your vids, 5am daily lol. Good stuff man!!!!
I’m sure you know someone with a mill, just mill out the chassis for motor clearance so it looks nice & gives you what room you need. Probably better than raising the entire drivetrain. Can’t wait to see how fast it is on 12s, will be crazy fast!
nice work Exo, thanks for sharing brother🤙🏽 Are you sure though that the pinion is 30t? it has 25t written on it... keen as to see what tyres will be able to handle the 12s!!
Awesome! As far as I know, the castle 800kv is rated for 12s. It would be interesting to see how the castle motor does on 12s in the real world. You would definitely get more rpms vs the 560kv.
Explain what do you mean? I have a Losi dbxl-e 2.0 can you explain the problem? What are you trying to out it in? A MGM Esc and motor will cost as much as 3 combos of the hobbywing tho🤔
hello there. That was a while ago. I ended up getting the Hobbywing Max4 with a castle 800kv. goto my channel and I show my setup.@@truthisweareallgonnadie.
I think they limit you to a low kv motor to save the esc, some people wanna run 12s and a higher kv for racing or speed runs @@truthisweareallgonnadie.
That thing jumps like it’s tethered to the ground…. Stiffer springs help I guess but it seems like you need more suspension travel and a higher CST shock fluid. That nose dive made me cringe. Props to the losi for not taking a dirt nap after that. Nice video
I don't think you overgeared at all brother. More punch for sure and you could easily go 34 or 36 but dont think you need to. What a beast brother, I just can't imagine how much $$ you have in this rig, gotta be over 3k at this point. I live losi but there $$ a bit more. Appreciate ya
Man you had that thing flying!! i just set my dbxl up with a xlx2 combo. now you make me want to rip it all back out! lol awesome video Joe keep up the hard work. I always look forward for the daily uploads
I added the 18 tooth pinion to my dbxl. 1st the pinion was wearing, replaced motor mount with vitavon, fixed problem. Then I bought belted tires, they came unglued 3 out of 4 glued them back, fixed. Installed beast 2000 works great. Now stock esc is sending hot capacitors 5 green lights. Guess I need to spend another 500 bucks and get the xlx2 setup. The 18 tooth pinion is one expensive upgrade.
I think I'm finally to the point where I'm going to get the max 4 and motor. I'm tired of the xlx2 and leopard motor overheating, just a short 10 min run will get things so hot you can't touch them. The gears are not binding because it roles freely. I have good fans on motor and esc. The only draw back is the price of getting the hobbywing kit and 6S batteries.
I love Hobbywing stuff. They all run so efficiently. What I’ve heard the difference is between Hobbywing and Castle is that Castle doesn’t have the internal safeguards like Hobbywing so theoretically if they make a 12S system it may end up pushing more power but it won’t be as dependable as a Hobbywing. I think for me I’d rather have a dependable rig than a $3000 build go up in flames
It’s awesome and I love seeing it mounted up but almost seems like a little too much motor for the dbxle. The 800kv 2028 with the max4 on 12s wold seem perfect
Mate that's a beast now. On 12s it's going to be a insane animal good luck mate 👍🤣🤣. I don't know about putting that in a X maxx it will fold it self in half 🦘🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ideally, that same system SHOULD fit/work in the rampage! Should. But finding or making the direct drive setup will be the issue. Maybe holler at Medic, owner of 'RC Sparks'. He has a ton of connections. 👍😁
I hate to subscribe.....but you are such a lunatic...I had to :D You spend a lot of money to keep the channel busy. I thank you for that and subscribed now. And now - i watch that, for sure amazing, video :)
Great job. Seams it has a bit more room as we where talking with the vitavon chassis and motor mount then the stock chassis. Going to be a beast on 12s. Just ran my kraton8s on 12s this morning quick will be doing a video this weekend on it.
So, you can in fact fit that ESC and motor into a Kraton 8S? I was thinking of picking these max4 motor combo. But, how is the clearance for that motor? Did you have to mount it up? Thanks.
Looks like the pinion hangs just a little off the end of the shaft. Has lateral force caused the pinion to come loose at all? Just feeling a few more mm on the motor shaft length could help... To nit pick 🤣
i wouldnt even put these in an rc tbh. i would replace the petrol engine in a sand buggy that can carry people direct drive 24s sensored with drag slicks on the rear would be a fun wheelsander
That’s awesome with some decent fans on motor temps will be under 100 easy I’m guessing but that’s only on 8s so it’s not pushing it temps will go up when you run 12s get some fans on motor for when you run 12s great stuff brother keep it up
I wouldn’t turn the punch up before you go 12s. Once you go 12s that may be to much punch. You probably only have a day or two until the other 6s battery comes in. You should be able to run a taller pinion too.
