The HobbyWing MAX6 starts at $160 and fits perfectly in the XMaxx. The MAX6 is a very powerful fully programmable ESC that really gets the job done! The programming settings I recommend are max punch, 75% brake, 6V Bec setting if you are on the stock servo, auto lipo cell calculation, 50% reverse force, 0% drag brake, and ESC thermal protection at level 1 (225ºF/105ºC). Full ESC review video coming next! Like, Comment, and SUBSCRIBE!!!

I'm not sure if you figured this out yet but you don't have to pull the skid plate from the under side of the xmaxx to get the upper tray out of the truck. The skid plate has 4 holes in it that allow you to put your hex key (allen wrench) through the skid plate to access those 4 bolts that hold it from the underside. i just thought i'd share this info with you incase you didn't know it. Happy bashing!

Hello Josh, I saw that you are running duratrax six pack x on your xmaxx and I was wondering if you had to do anything with the wheels to get them on the stock hubs of the xmaxx because I am thinking of getting them.

@joshsrcs 3 года назад

No, they fit perfectly with NO trimming. Duratrax makes a set for the Kraton 8s but they say Kraton 8s on the packaging. Make sure you get the regular Duratrax Six Pack X. They are great tires, and you should definitely get them. I’ve got some videos on them and every video after those I’m running the Six Pack X.

@joshsrcs Год назад

MAX5 in the XMaxx without some serious mods may be a lil bit overkill/kills the XMaxx in general. If you don’t have an aftermarket motor and motor mount I’d get that and probably upgrade diffs to an aftermarket splined diff as well as putting some thicker fluid in all the diffs.

@LightNiNZwipezz 3 года назад

What do you mean by only run 6V on your stock servo? Is it a setting when you program your Max6 esc?

The MAX6 has an internal BEC. You can select between 6V-7.4V in the programming. SUBSCRIBE!!!

@Sexybody19 3 года назад

Are the Blue connectors of the max6 preinstalled?

@joshsrcs 3 года назад

No, the blue connectors (EC5 connectors) do not come preinstalled on the MAX6 or any of the HobbyWing ESC’s. I installed the EC5 connectors onto the MAX6 myself. If you buy this ESC you will have to soldier the connectors on yourself.

@SabrToothSqrl Год назад

How waterproof/durable is the max 6? The stock ones keep dying on me just from washing the truck. No mud or even actual water crossings.

My MAX6 has been bulletproof so far. I’ve drowned the truck and put in under insane heat. No problems. The odds or getting an unlucky one are unlikely, but it can still happen.

X-Maxx is all three from personal experience. What I’ve seen of the DBXL is that it’s slow, but can be geared up, and it isn’t that durable. If I had to pick between the two I’d choose the Losi and put some money into it.

Yea I can definitely agree with that! Those Traxxas battery’s are expensive! I’ve had so many warranty claims on them because even though they are expensive they are super crap. If I were you I’d try to slowly transfer over to PowerHobby batteries. As your Traxxas batteries die send them in under warranty and get a brand new one to sell on eBay. You can basically pay for 2 PowerHobby’s if you sell a Traxxas 4s 6400mah. SUBSCRIBE!!!

@metoo3918 Год назад

How could it go much faster with just an ESC change? [Disclaimer: I forwarded thru the video. Dont know if you changed a gear as well] ESCs just deliver the available power from a battery to a load. It cant create more amperage than the battery has to give.

@joshsrcs Год назад

I’m guessing it had to do with the batteries I used and less with the ESC. The PowerHobby lipos I used in the video delivered more volts than the previous Traxxas lipos I used to use. HobbyWing does time their motors tho (which is variable in HW programming) which allows for more or less motor RPM. Don’t ask me how it works because I have no idea when it gets that deep lol.

@joshsrcs 9 дней назад

More amp draw and current flow

@Critter0817 9 дней назад

@joshsrcs correct me if im wrong but the motor draws the amps. The 200 amp is just a rating that the esc can supply without overheating. The rating is safe to use with that size of a truck at 33 volts. At least that's my understanding of it. The higher the amp rating, the slower it heats up

@joshsrcs 9 дней назад

I am not an electronics guru, but from my understanding the max amp draw of the HobbyWing is higher than the Traxxas ESC. Higher max amperage is equivalent to a higher flow of power.
