RedMax gets a Castle Monster X 800kv and 

love these overpowered rc builds!

Killer!!! This is just like doing this in a life size rig, it's never a straight bolt in job. Always some customization or modifying to do. Hahahahahaha you went from. A big block to a blown and stroked big block!!!!

I wish you ran the max5/1100 kv set up in the same spot. Would've interesting to see the comparison!

Just what I wanted to see a 1/5 scale motor install in a stock xmaxx. Epic POWER that thing got. 👍👍

im very happy w the max 6 esc with stock 8s motor, but if I had the money Id love to try this set up. Just upgraded my sons rustler xl5 4wd with a hobbywing max10 and motor combo. Its a brushless sensored system. Runs so smooth

How could anyone give this a thumbs down? Overpowered Insanity is always fun to watch. Impressive.

Hey I got the b&m 18-35 gears and the 30-35 gears . Same motor/esc combo . Just waiting for my mounts . I bought the badlands so I can not destroy any tires . I’m glad I get to watch everyone else pave the way. I’m going to order another temp/voltage sensor so I can keep my stock setup together. Thank you again. If you have any advice I’m all ears , or eyes, or RU-vid?

would adding faster spur gears generally destroy the electronics to the truck? i dont get why and how to prevent adding a faster spur pinion and destroy the electronics

Traxxas sells the mount for the temperature wire around the motor I'm not sure the part number offhand.

Absolutely incredible vid my rc brother looks like i need to upgrade the XMAXXX now

That body color goes good with its insane power

So what do you like better? The xlx2 with 800kv or the 1100kv? I’m curious on speed and torque

it’s like a notorious 🤣but way bigger

How’s this hold up a year later ? Recommend it ?

Which sprockets can you recommend to me? The sticks always break

them new combos are nuts. Cant wait to get one when their available again. Im gonna be running a belt drive with mine. I got a feeling i will be burning through batteries having them charged to play again and again. Cant wait.

Would this be a good setup for pulling around my kids

the temp wire doesn't have to be glued to the motor, just as long as it's plugged in the receiver. Then u can just put it wherever u want.

That auto flip function will destroy diffs. Awesome vid! 👍🏿

"Bro, is that a Spur on your motor?" O.o hehe, very nice setup, let the fun begin :D

After running both the Castle mamba x 8s and the Hobbywing Max 5 which would you recommend and why?

Great Video, thank you. How would you say this setup compares with the Hobbywing 56113/Max 5 setup?

So my stock 8S ESC smoked so I bought the max6 esc I’ve used it once and I’m not happy with it at all will this work with the 1600 KV stock motor

why do you use such a big pinion gear. wont a 18/54 set up work?

The gears definitely sound different and wow does the truck have a lot more power.What do you think of the upgrade and do you feel that it’s worth the money.Whats the total cost of the upgrades?Thanks keep Bashing

Man that castle system is incredible! What if you took the receiver box out and just glued it down instead,. could you then put the esc inside?

that is a great mod, I have watched both this video and the video for the hobbywing motor /esc set build. for the money spent, truthfully ,which mod will give me more bang for my buck when im ready to go that direction????? great video's on the Xmax. love all of them.

Hey what front and rear diff oil would you recommend with the 800kv motor upgrade thanks

Good mornin 6:30 in MO and that motor is the size of a BEER CAN I'm awake now

Sup Exo, I love your videos. I have a quick question, do you use an external BEC for the Xmaxx? I watched your videos and didn’t see you install one. Would you recommend putting one in? Thanks

I have this same setup. I love but I keep blowing rear diff gear any idea what it could be?

That thing is a tyre ripper alright, what fluids have you in the diffs?

What if I get a solid red light on the receiver. I have low voltage cutoff turned on in the castle app.

I’m a rook so forgive me for all the questions. I am curious why you went w the castle monster X w 800 KV? Did it just increase the low end power? I know I’ve seen many going w the max 6 w the stock engine. Not sure I even understand why the need to change from the Traxxas ESC as is t it made by Castle for Traxxas? Also, why the extremely high pinion? Most guys are running a 50Spur and 20 Pinion. Does that combo add more power? I know it doesn’t seem to add much speed. I revamped my E-Revo and almost put in a Monster X esc and 1515 combo. I did everything else to it including changing diff fluid, adding the metal drive shaft, etc but kept the stock esc and engine. Once I upgraded the drive shaft and diffs. it flew like the wind. I just sick and tired of breaking the stupid rod ends every time out I am selling it!!! I bought an XMAXX w everything currently stock and haven’t had 1 break!!! I’ve done some crazy stuff w it too! I’m asking all these questions and doing this long post as I’m debating what upgrades to actually do. So your wisdom in the Castle Combo change as well as why the highest Tooth pinion gear I’ve heard of cold help out this rookie!! I know I’m going to up to a 50T Spur from CEN and 20 T pinion from Tekno, add a better servo-stirring is weak at best w stock, add some Pro line rear hubs, and add the Traxxas 7763T Shock shafts. But I just don’t understand the need to change the Esc Motor Combo yet. Doesn’t mean I can’t or won’t I just don’t yet see or understand the value. 😬😂. I’m subscribing as I just bought my first Arrma Mojave and I saw your comparison w the UDR!! No way I’d by the UDR after seeing that vid!! I don’t want to drop that kind of $ into a car and have to upgrade it so much I’m paying more in upgrades than the car. 😂. The Mojave is insane!!!! Anyway, any help would be much appreciated! I don’t mind wrenching and upgrading as that is so much fun for me. Any insight and input appreciated! Thanks jj

hey really enjoyed your videos!! do you think its ok to run this 800kv motor without a motor fan? what is your opinion on belt drivetrain?

Nice build man...it sounds like a chainsaw😱 Edit: 84km on grass with stock tires??😱😱😱

Question. If I'm running a 46 tooth spur, what pinion would you recommend I start with on this setup?

Awesome job! How can we mount the esc is we go this route?

Wondering if you can help me What gears are you running? And where can I get them.. also mine is also running half throttle I was going to call Castle creations

Hey exo, where'd u get that esc mount from? That sits on the rails? Also how'd u hook up the.temp probe to the esc?

Could i use my traxxas 8s esc with a 800 kv or 1100 kv castle

So did that esc work well for you on the Kraton 8s too? Thanks

I don't understand how it only got 53mph which is the same as stock?

Kick ass!! Sounds like a skill saw or something 😂

Love the "rusty old Craftsman" wrench!

What lipo you running and the gearing you have

I always watch the full video start to finish 👍🏿I have this to be installed my xMaxx with a 45 tooth as well🤩I also have it for my K8S w/41 tooth to be installed🤩I love this motor combo, I had the Max5 combo but sold that for two of these combos 👍🏿luv your videos EXO

Where did you get the little speedometer you had on the back of your X maxx

You should use some thermalpast for the sensor instead of glue

2020 truck is the redcat kaiju pure animal out the box backflip king but we all love the xmaxx still but sheshhhhhhhh got 400 kaiju is a insane rig

Now I need that old motor and ESC for my slash.

Is that the same motor you put in the Kraton or is that one bigger?

Did you mention what the gearing is?

I saw a video where they put the castle fan on the motor also. With a little cutting

Crazy power👍, thx for the video

Sweet build, I subscribed! One thing has me scratching my head though, with all the high end equipment you put into the build I’m shocked that your still using the stock TX/RX.

Might wanna consider a bigger wheelie bar?

Hello, Nice Video. Can you tell me please Where i can Get the Combo incl. Gearings in Germany ?

Great video!! Love that combo. Truck is a beast now!!

Did you change any setting on the esc?

Hello if i buy the combo i have to make the same with sensored cable ? Thanks bro

How did the temperature wire that you glued onto the motor hold up? The motor doesn't melt the glue when it gets hot? Excellent build. Very impressive man. I would love to do the same but not sure where I would get a mount for the esc.

That's GNARLY!

Where did you get those little jack stands?

That motor can is just beastly !!!

Just like the Kraton it Sounds like Sharpening Knives

goodness me that flies!

This is badass more please more xmaxx

Where did you get that motor! I've been trying to get that motor for over 6 weeks!

Crazy power for the size! Anyone know where I can get a xmaxx? Been looking for couple weeks now lol

Yeah I just looked at your video haven't been on it for a while but wow was that fantastic got to give it to you nice build oh and another thing people with people I'm glad you told the truth people think he goes take 10 in 15 minutes to do they don't realize that take 4 hours everything is photoshopped or film chop however you want to say it I have a couple of friends that are convinced that these cars are unbreakable I tried to tell him know these people you see breaking their cause fix them and go back to the video and make it seem like the car don't break or they fix them right away everything takes time I tried to make people understand that everything you see on videos is not what it seems to be but I am so glad you told the truth like you said it looks like 10 minutes but in all reality it took you a couple of hours be cool brother like what you doing oh and don't send your stuff to the moon like other people do you got to be rich to pay for parts that are being broken

I would like to know how much did you spend on all the setup with gearing ESC and motor and I'm wondering if you upgraded the dips covers cuz with that kind of power you're probably be blowing them out oh nothing the diff covers that's a lot of powers looks like take by the way are you from Connecticut maybe I can come over and hang out my xmaxx is cool as yours LOL have fun and be safe always

84 kph is fast and off road 👍🏻

Gears sounded a bit loud. You sure it was on snug enough??

generally xmaxx clips dont to justice to its speed on video. but this looked so fast !!

What are the run times?

That's looks like a fun great choice.

Thats fast as f!!k

JUST WOW... YEA, CRAA-AAZZYY!!!

Can you run Dean ultra plugs on a 8s xmaxx

Going to make me upgrade my xmaxx lol...💪🏾💯🚀🔥

Yo man! You are the man. This video is DEFINITELY getting saved for the future as well. EXCELLENT man, REALLY is!

What is your gearing

Nice video! You’ll need to get belted tires!

I just gat this for my limitless but I haven’t put it yet

Nice Video i Love It how is your runtime with this Setup ?

Isn't " mod 1" when pinion an spur match like 45/45 ?

I never thought I'd say this, but this seems like too much power actually. Hard to drive and will break driveline parts fast from what others are saying.

Wont heat sink fit it

Now for belted tires...

MAn does that thing rip now! Good stuff!!

That’s a 200a esc?

That was awesome bro 👏😉

Didnt you just hook up temp sencer

you should get the belted tires, like kevin has

Kevin Talbot: in Europe and uses MPH Exocaged RC: In America and uses KPH 😂

Do you have the ESC mount cad file?

WoooooW very cool

It rips !!

If it just would fit into the gap it would be perfect that’s the only thing that’s holding be back to put a huge motor in it
