Wow that bad boy was moving. So cool that hobbywing dropped the max4 I'm not sure on the 560kv motor but being that other sensored motors are compatible I really thought you were going to hit 100mph off road. As far as I know you would be the first, as well as a Guinness world record
Yeah man, it’s the second fastest off-road 5th scale. Hoping to beat the fastest soon, which is 103. My buddy is actually the one who hit 103. We’re having a bit of a tough time trying to keep the rc straight lol. The desert floor is a little slippery. And yeah the combo has a lot of potential, even if it’s geared for bashing. Thanks for watching man 🍻
Have you tried the data logging on the max 4? I'm curious to see how many amps it's pulling. I just find it hard to believe it's only a 300amp continuous ESC when the XLX2 can pull 500 amps continuous.
We can’t really rely on the manufacturers specs when it comes to amps. My buddy pulled 480 amps with 87% throttle on his max4. Hopefully I get to do another run after this crazy weather lol.
@@thebashfactory3985 480 amps? That's a number I like to hear. To be honest, I bought a Max 4 to upgrade from my MMX8S and to have the ability to run 12s if I want. I also just wanted an ESC I could trust more than Castle's ESCs. I originally had an XLX2, absolute beast until it blew up on mild gearing and on flat ground with the 1100kv castle motor. I'm just worried the punch on a more mild set up may be lacking. As long as it kicks harder than a Max 5 I'll be happy.
@@NepDouble07 I warned people about the 1100 kv castle, I had the same thing happened. The motor was the culprit not the XLX2. Castle hasn’t address the issue with the motor.
@@thebashfactory3985 thanks man I’m gonna be putting this set up in a kraton 8s what do u think would be a good gearing for like 65mph on 12s I have a 530kv on 12s now but it doesn’t have speed like this
The castle 800 kv is rated up to 45000 rpm. Which means you can run up to 13s. 12sX4.2=50.4v and 50.4X800kv=40,320 rpm on 12s. But not all 800 kv is rated the same 🍻
I think a high KV motor with 8s may do you even better top speed my man. Maybe a 1250kv or 1600kv on 8s. But with that being said, that is a beast you have there brother! And just where the heck are you? That looks so dang great for r.c and anything speed or R.C. orientated!! 😄
@@Blueknight1960 Yep exocaged RC's Vitavon built dbxl is a tank that 7075 chassis is the business, that will never bend. But he only pulled 70.7 out of his, I think it's to much money in that to be a speed runner. I have to say Joe's dbxl is the nicest I've seen yet, however this dude here has the fastest off road rc I've seen
