It’s about time hobbywing caught up. They where always the standard and Excellent ESC. But now there better then castle with these new sensored systems and are completely compatible with Castle Creations sensored motors and others. The turbo tuning is crazy and the new 14s combo is crazy.
did you use the whole system or just the max8 g2? i wanna change out the 4vxl in my v2 and put on sledge 3.8 tires. so im aiming for more stabil power and cooler system. do tell what wheelsize and gearing you use :)
This my second maybe third time watching this & need advice. I’m replacing the electronics in my Fireteam and considering the regular Max 6 or this new Max 8 25kv. What are your thoughts I definitely want it to be faster then the stock Spectrum stuff. ???
What is your settings on ESC? I just put a max 8 G2S with HobbyWing 4278 and a CNHL 8200mAh 120C 15.2HV battery. I was expecting standing backflips and I haven’t managed yet
Felony, this is definitely enough. If you want to go 100mph, then a bigger motor or a longer can is necessary. But then the car tears itself apart and it's only for speed runs/wrecks.
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! 🖐
@@RCReviewChannel I run the firms150 ecs it came with an a 1900kv spektrum it’s a 4274 6s thing absolutely rips in my v5 typhon that’s exb… I want the g2 with 2250kv to replace the max8 combo with 2200kv in my torn tuned typhon
Francis, I love ur videos and have watched u for years now and respect ur reviews, and I will agree that hobbywing has great products….. and I mean this in no disrespect to u, but their customer service is absolutely terrible and the one guy that takes 90% of phone calls for USA customers is an absolute ass hat! (Pardon my language), but it’s true. Just arrogant and rude and a ball of attitude. Have u ever actually talked to him? I had an esc go bad about a year ago and had to talk to him, which took 5-6 emails before he would even call me direct, and he acted like I was an idiot who just bashed his mother or something. Wouldn’t even consider that something was wrong on hobbywings end. Real pain in the butt to deal with. It’s a Good thing their products are reliable…mostly… lol. Have a good day and nice new combo for sure. 👍
I love this guy’s genuine enthusiasm for RC. I catch myself smiling when he’s smiling! He makes RC even more fun 🤙🤘
Very cool set up Fran!!! This might be the perfect mod for my SUMMIT. I have been thinking about converting it to brushless.👍👍👍
Oh man. Crawl and bash!
Time for the Max6 and Max5 to get the same treatment, been long overdue imo!
Agreed man!!!!
Do max 8 G2 combo fit most Arrma 6s system or do you recommend max 6 G2 combo with 1650kv but I do like that setup thou

They are shaking up the world for sure!!!!!!! Crawlers and fast cars
Got one for my maxx their black Friday sale was too hard to pass at $200
Wonder if I'll need a fan 🤔
Think the traxxas heatsink will fit the can?
Hi buddy great video. I just got the system too I love it. What pinion gear do you recommend for a kraton XL ? Using a 16T right now
Thank you for this video man! Really helped me purchase the right product.
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.
0:33 What is that ramp? It looks cool!
I Use the Hw Max8 G2 in my Maxx V1 and it turned into a new car... cant wait to Upgrade my Maxx V2 :D
Crazy huh? Same size even. And batteries.
did you use the whole system or just the max8 g2? i wanna change out the 4vxl in my v2 and put on sledge 3.8 tires. so im aiming for more stabil power and cooler system.
do tell what wheelsize and gearing you use :)
Great video 👍 out of all my RC'S the kraton is my favorite 👍
It's a gem. Just gotta get those diffs perfect.
Wondering how this would be in a TLR tuned typhon. 🤔

Those temps are unbelievable.
Kids been using this in the race buggys. They are really powerful
Please tell me what esc settings your using here I've just got this setup put in my fully vitavoned traxxas maxx v2
I’ve been looking at this ESC & motor combo for my vendetta. Would this fit?

I have the 6s version for the Mojave, and the 4s version for the Traxxas Slash Ultimate :)
Is it enough to go with this setup on a arrma felony or i put a bigger motor and 8s?

Dude I'm so jealous right now I so want that system in my tlr typhon
oooh Typhon. They have a short can 4s motor for this esc.
@@RCReviewChannel Hi, any idea if the 4278 fit the TLR typhon?

What pinion are you using?
Awesome video and content. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! 👍
What viscosity of diff fluid do you have in those diffs of the Kraton exb???
Which cooling fan do you suggest with this motor? thnx!
Impressive
Wow!! I love Hobbywing! Ciao
Us too!
What pinion size U are using on kraton? Thank You
What size gear is on it looks visuess
Super cool brother
Thanks ✌️
Please fix your link, both go to esc only.
Is there any similar option for the XMaxx?
not yet. You could put it in a xmaxx, but i would not recommend it. Maybe from Castle...but i am a hobbywing fan.
Is this motor suitable with the traxxas vxl 6s esc? Will it rune fine if we run it like that?
oh heck yeah. Best 6s motor available today.
@@RCReviewChannel so i can run this motor in my e revo 2.0 with the stock esc right?
I only have one question Will It Fit In a Fireteam???
Oh Yeah, no problem, it will fit perfect.
Absolutely!!!! I might try it there on my Fireteam
when i saw the fist part of the video i thought it was 8s hahahahh but omg 6s!!! that's crazy you went for 2mph rc cars to 100mph rc cars 😂
In reality... I love them all. Just had to start somewhere. :)

I have but he’s an old friend. So maybe I’m not the best source of feedback there
@@RCReviewChannel oh dang. Sry. Lol
@@RCReviewChannel must be nice😋. The rest of us get abused. Hahaha
Ive also heard from my hobby shop that the customer service is a nightmare@sitlos.
My friend put one in his infraction v2 and got 106 mph Crazy
Holy canoli. That is so impressive for a smooth motor.
106 mph from 4278 SD ? Certainly run hot , has he put a heatsink on motor ? which one ?
@@ludovicfontaine9099 no Tomely RC just broke 100mph in stock arrma pinion with that new setup. on his youtube channel. check it out
Holy Cow 🐮 😂
Yo that's 6s only . please don't try 8s like you did with that other motor!
what pinion you running?
Just the stock 14
@@RCReviewChannel thanks mate, same setup but with backflip tires but cant standing backflips 😂😂
