Max 8 G2 Combo Is a BEAST in The Traxxas Sledge! [Full Review] 

Check out the Max10 G2! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S_i0LWwL600.html

Great video and channel! Keep it up bro ! Good vocabulary and narrating. Fun and knowledgeable!

I got fed up with the stock ESC cutting out power intermittently I have this exact same combo being delivered tomorrow for my sledge, super excited after watching your video! Thanks so much!

I was on my toes for this one I ordered one for my maxx a few days ago so exited to get it

Thank you you helped me decide what I was going to buy it's already on its way great videos

This is cool and that Sledge was wild, I might get one of these combos for my Sledge and maybe my XO-1 and my future Infraction V2 instead of a Castle MMX 8s with 1717 1,650KV or just wait until Hobbywing makes a G2 style Max 6 and sensored 4985. But this combo looks very promising and it's cheaper than the Castle system i planned to get. Great videos Do RC keep them up.

Looks like a very good system might get one for my typhon

I got the esc and will grab the motor soon. Just got the m2c motor mount in so now I am ready to really bash the truck.

Just subscribed! I'm a Kool Kid now! Yes! YEE YEE!

The Amp ratings for the max 8 gen 2 are the same as the max 6. This leads me to believe that hobbywing has taken the route of under rating the ESC to keep the heat down. Just my thoughts but what a wonderful combo! There will be one in my future. Great and very informative video. Keep it up!

Oh... I didn't realize it was now a 160A esc. That's nice.

I plan on getting this combo for my exb. Love hobbywing stuff. Too bad I got the max5 combo for my dbxl before the max4 was announced

just got the max6 + 1650kv for my Kraton. Can't wait to try it.

THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE SIR. VERY INTERESTING TO ME AS IVE JUST ORDERED MYSELF A EXB KRATON 🤔🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼🤩👍🏼

Great vid..yeah this should be good for the Radix 4. Great vid....

Besides BEC changed to 8.4v, was everything else on the Esc in stock settings? Or did you increase the punch?

just bought this for my kronos

what is best to go in my arrma felony.A max6 1650kv or this in your video(max8 combo) very nice video and your xmaxx is a beast!!!

Are you still utilizing the stock transmitter & controller or does that need to be changed as well. Sorry, I am new to this. If it does need to be changed, what set-up would be good to go with this change. Thank you!

How did you end up finally mounting your G2 ESC if the double stick tape did not pan out? I see you can go much slower and controlled with a sensored motor, what are the downsides to bashing with sensored motors? Is it cost? Subscribed!

Hopefully there upgrade the max 6 as well with sensord package

Awesome review. How were your Temps?

very cool

For the Sledge, what would be the best pinion/spur for bashing? Great speed but also some torque?

How bad was the mesh without the plastic adapter? I'm asking because I understand that it also helps prevent the motor moving around so I would rather leave it in. Thanks!

I'm new to the electric rc cars I bought the sledge a month ago but I don't like how the esc runs. So I'm looking a getting a esc and motor combination. So will I get more power going up to a 2250kv or will I get less power. I'm thinking about the max 8 g2 with the 2250kv motor. I want a noticeable increase in power that I can turn down or up and will fit the sledge with little to no modification. Thanks for the help

Cool kid right here 👉 😎 👈

Punch looks like u need to bump it up 1 or 2. It'll take away to small it of lag / delay apon initial acceleration

I just ordered this setup for my sledge, I do off-road/bashing on 6s and curious of what gearing I should run, any help is appreciated!

Would this system be a good fit for the maxx? Just subscribed 😄

Nice, which bumper is that in front?

Will the arrma fire team b to heavy for these system on 6s bashing

I put this combo on my Sledge ystrdy and blew my pinion and spur. Whats gonna be a good replacement?

as a newbie in the rc world, i have been riding my JLB cheetah 120 amp for 2 years now and that thing has been costly in repairs. so i wanted to find a new toy and was doubting between this sledge or an arma kraton. so far from whatever ive seen sledge is pricey and needs many upgrades, so i thought maybe im better off getting arma roller and put these kinds of electronics in it? what are your thoughts on this? been looking at arma kraton, sledge or outcast, i rlly dislike traxxas way of bussiness with their battery etc but in the end a guy wants worth for the money so im rlly having a hard time deciding what to get >.

Of course I'm having issue fitting my G2 motor and esc into my Savage X v2, so frustrated lol

In the Discription you write 4272 - but it is 4278. Thanks for sharing your Infos.

Love the new max 8 just hate that you have it in a frigging traxxas pos

What gearing are you running? I’m running 46/18 and it’s stutters on punch 9 pretty bad.

Salut 🖐 J'ai récemment achete un combo max8 g2 4278 2250kv , et dans mon combo y'a pas les cables supplémentaires a souder sur un autre moteur, et les couleu des gaines thermiques au buts des fils deja soude sur le moteur elles sont bleu jeune orange pas noir comme les tiens, Tu a une idée par hasard pourquoi c'est commeca chez moi ? Ou si c'est normal ? 🤔 Merci anticipe ! 🖐

Can I use this combo on a 1/8 buggy? Because on the HW website it says that it is for trucks and monster trucks.

Can you get it to self rite with these upgrades, like using the throttle and torque kinda style?

Would you say this in a talion exb or a max6 g2 with the new 4990 motor?

What is I am not using the sensored wire will my brusheless still work?

What receiver are you using? Will the stock Traxxas one take the 8.4 volts?

Great video...and, (almost) anything had to be better than a stock Traxxas ESC & motor (in (almost) any Traxxas vehicle. The only thing I'm not liking is the proprietary sensor cable. It seems that Hobbywing is, more and more, switching to this. Soon, it could be that only Hobbywing ESCs will be able to connect to Hobbywing motors, and vice-versa. Now...for a "comparison suggestion". How about doing a head-to-head of this ESC/motor combo against the Castle Mamba Monster 2 ESC/1515-2200Kv Motor combo (CSE010-0108-03), both in the Sledge? Compare power, speed, driveability, temps, etc. I'm figuring these are probably the top two almost-ready-to-install "packaged ESC/motor combos" (ie. both have motors w/ ESC connectors ready to plug in), so it's logical to pit them against each other.

Hello 🖐 I recently bought a max8 g2 4278 2250kv combo, and in my combo there are no additional cables to solder on another motor, and the color of the thermal sheaths at the ends of the wires already soldered on the motor they are blue young orange not black like yours, Do you have any idea why it's like this in my house? Or if it's normal? 🤔 Thank you in anticipation! 🖐

What Motor Fan are you running, also what pinion rand and size are you running ?

Having problems finding this combo Were can i get one ?? By the way excellent video !!!

well how do you mount the max 8 esc to the chassis ?

And the motor fits the stock mount huh?

Forgot to ask, how does this compare to the max6 on 8s if you've ever had both?

Can i use a sensor less hobbystar motor with this esc?

What are your controller settings? Did you fully lock the center differential?

Mine went up in smoke second time plugging it in:/ now Trying to get it figured out with the warranty

What punch level you have set in this video, the old max 8 only went to five and the new g2 goes to ten

for the price, traxxas should of included a system as good as this. if mike jenkins didn’t need to own 30 mansions, and 50 cars, they could of done it. 🤦🏻🤦🏻

What gearing are you running in your sledge

What gearing are you running with this setup?

Did you gain any power or torque ?

all of the cool kids hahaha

how much does the sledge weigh??

Will this system fit in that tekno mt410?

Will motor handle 8s

My ecs hobbywing max 8 Did catch on fire 😭

Almost replaces the max6 right now till they release a new version

Hands down the best thing you can do to a Traxxas is replace all the electronics! I wouldn't run hobbywing though.spemd the money and buy castle or tekin

My castle has 8.5v bec

I wanna be a cool kid
