Selecting Motor Kv for your RC Speed Run Build - Arrma Limitless - Viewers Select Motor and ESC! 

I run the same setup no issues what so ever. 30/34 gearing.

The power we have available today is amazing! Can't imagine where we will be in another 10 years.

Oo u have no idea they sell 8s battery packs now and we can run two of them for a total of 16 s on the new mgm 16s esc

@@nolimitrc1 16s!?? What does that even mean Lol. I'm just trying to imagine what it would be like taking a 16s for a spin around the yard, where the smallest uncontrolled tremor of my finger would blow the transmission :) The power output of lipo over NiMH was cutting edge performance, but this...y'all are mad scientists lol, that's awesome.

Me too😂

Hell we are building 100mph boats😂😂

Sounds good!

@@RCexplained part 2 ?? cmon bro

Sounds good, second person to recommend this exact setup

There's new videos on the V2! Check them out.

Hi Colin, Thanks for the comment. Which do you prefer the 1100kv or the 2400kv? The new 2400kv motor is a very hot wind for use with the big XLX2

@@RCexplained for efficiency id go for the 1100kv

doubt that.

Great setup, 8s may be a bit too much for the motor. Although it is rated for max 50,000RPM! You would have to gear down if you dare to try this.

@@RCexplained According to the specification maximum voltage is 26v so I think I would be risking to blow up the motor, with the gearing that It has with 8s it will rev about 46k although when it is on load the battery will be like a 7s so regarding the revolutions it should be within limits but I don't know if the winding will hold on. Something else I think if I use batteries with higher output it could gain some m/hr.

Hey Dom, Is this for a Limitless V1 or V2? My gearing choice would change depending on which version you have as gearing is different between the two versions. My motor preference for a circuit V1/V2 would be Castle 1717 1650Kv ESC for V1/V2 would be Mamba Monster X 8s LiPo battery: 6s 5000mAh minimum up to 8000mAh from SMC, largest C rating for best performance. Choosing a lighter pack may help handling performance here. I prefer to use Amass AS150 as connectors on the ESC and Batteries. You can split the 6s battery in to two 3s packs wired in series to place in to the 2 battery trays. Battery tray sizes are different between Limitless V1 and V2. V2 has shorter trays along the length. Stock gearing using a 27T pinion on a V1 would allow for straightaway speeds up to 140+km/h. A v2 would be even faster than this. For short tracks and even longer tracks, I would gear down (smaller pinion or larger spur) as you more than likely don't need that kind of top end speed. One catch is, you may not be able to go too much smaller on the pinion gear with the 17 series motor. In this case you could go up in spool size by swapping the stock spool for an 8mm Pinion gear. This works perfectly and what I used on the V1 Limitless to run a 22T pinion gear. Hope this helps!

@@RCexplained Awesome info. Thanks. This is for a Limitless v2 fresh out of the box.

If it's a V2, you can try stock gearing, however, I think you would be much better off by swapping the 39T spool for an 8mm 44T pinion. And then putting a 27T Pinion on the motor. I believe smallest pinion gear possible on stock gearing is around 32T.

@@RCexplained Thanks again ! I'll get it all ordered on Monday. Cheers

​@@EssentialRC Cheers mate, I'd love to know how it all works out.

max5 will do the job (just)

@@1521joe 👍

That is a big motor!

The updates sound perfect!

Check out the Castle 1721 2400Kv motor and any TP Motors with a CM.

@@RCexplained The TP Motors in 1/8 scale and 1/5 scale configuration max out at 60k rpm; and I strongly doubt the 1721 is exceeding 58k rpm.

Nice is the HW 4985 sensored? What ESC again?

@@RCexplained not sensored. Im running only a hobbywing max6. Everything fits in the stock locations on the limitless chassis. Anything else you are moving/modifying things to make fit. The max6 eac will run on 8s but the 4985 motor is "suggested" to run on 6s only.....👍

That will be very tough!

@@RCexplained yeah I knew wouldn't be easy mate if can't get away with upping pinion if close will have to go 3s then it definitely will 😂🙏💚👊

Love it. Big Monster power for 100mph. I would have to completely restructure the car to do this, would be a fun build for sure.

@@RCexplained what all would be involved to handle this combo?
