No. If you turn down punch on max5, it is way smoother because it is more powerful the whole scale from 0 to 50k. Just read what Hobbywing says, max6, is not for heavy cars. 160A is not enough when the tires meet the resistance, it will cook and stop. My widemaxx draws 100amp maximum, that car weighs half or close to it. This is a stock car btw. So yeah... It is just math and some electronics,besides, it is always better to have more transistors, because you don't want them working on maximum. They will pop, one after one until the esc is dead and maybe on fire. I have tried Max 6, max 5 v1 on my xmaxx, and max 5 never stops. They put max6 in there because it fits and Kevin Talbot tells ppl to do this. He is not driving cars hard over time, it's. Concrete and mowed grass and a little hard track in the woods. If that is bashing, max 6 will be fine for those 30 minutes of shooting videos, he is a fan of pyramids, so let's leave it at that. I am not trying to be the Alfa dog shithead, I just think that it is better to pay a little more, like 40$ here at least and then you won't have to buy another one because max 5 will last and it is a great upgrade IMO.
I never get tired of watching these heats
hello great channel... just wondering where that piece of land was you were racing your rc's on...and is it public???
It is in Suffolk and yes it is public
It looks like the Max6 gives a smoother drive - but just can’t handle the 1100! 😮
Not sure how people use max 6 without over heating it on an xmaxx
same here i cant run my max 6 on my sledge with it overheating 18/52 gearing @@TeamRC3D
Max 6 with 1100kv 20/35 gearing with heat sink and fans is perfect no over heating. Had issues with 23/35 and 25/35
@@TeamRC3D lighter stock tyres might help the over heating issue for others

Is that the max6 160amp with standard motor
That was the original Max6, with the Hobbywing 110kv motor. As you saw in the video it couldn't handle the motor and overheated!
The 18\46 gearing doesn't over heat the stock esc\motor?
No. We did swap the stock fans for rocket fans but apart from once in the hottest day of the year its been fine.
you didnt answer your own question ! which is better ?
Max 5 max 6 overheats
@@TeamRC3Dhow do u check temps with max 5 as I don’t think it’s Bluetooth is it?
Came here to say the same thing
Meh not worth it unless the stocker blows
Which it is likely to do
@TeamRC3D I wonder if it holds up better if you run mostly 6s. I find it just breaks everything on 8s so I mostly run 6.
Why make videos that don’t really review anything why can’t you speak your mind on the products
Thanks for feedback!!!
