Thank you, any tips for adjusted throttle response delay? I’ve reset the settings, and went with level 7 punch which really helps the throttle response.
Great video, you got a new subscriber. I was hoping to brick the stock electronics in my Xmaxx a lot faster, but they still work fine. The only thing that really bugs me is the pinion coming loose, despite regular cleaning and applying locktite. I might get the Max6 combo when the weather clears up in spring anyway, it seems to have more punch than the stock setup.
I do the same to most of my Traxxas cars. Hobbywing ESC AND stock motor. You can usually gear up a few teeth and still have the same motor heat as stock due to the efficiency of the power it now has
I’ve noticed that also, eventually I’ll try a bigger motor from HobbyWing. But tue stock motor does very well. Adding too big a motor causing to many issues, I’m more in it for like you said the efficiency.
I would shut off the turbo timing, thats more for speed runs and will blow out your diffs really quick. As for delay just throttle trim up a bit, seems like all hobby wing Escs have that for some reason. I think it’s to protect the gears or something.
When I put a max 6 combo in a k6s with the 15t pinion I thought it was weak and slow . Until I dropped a 20t in there I found its a powerhouse but not really that much different than the stock stuff .
The Max6 on level 6 punch is not bad, I need to put it on level 7 and put everything else back to stock settings. I just need the throttle to be there to correct it in the air. Otherwise it’s definitely a better ESC.
I dont think the turbo timing works with a uncensored motor. It has to be a sensored motor for turbo. Punch works. The turbo delay just delays full trigger from kicking in when at full throttle
Too soon to tell, need more time. X-MAXX has its own issues and we’re still seeing what it needs to be durable. The SLEDGE so far is the most durable basher.
@@redbanditracing great advice! I like my Hobbywing escs, but they’ve definitely gone through their share of funky firmware. My Max 5 in my Kraton 8S had massive throttle delay before updating the firmware
@@redbanditracing where did you find that infomation??. I've looked for it myself, but can't find a definitive answer. I also asked Traxxas but they only said max 6V. probably to cover their asses :). because if it could handle 7.4V without any problems why wouldn't they just change the receiver's spec. but if it only reduces its lifespan a little then I would rather use 7.4V :)
C ratings are blown up. Traxxas batteries are fine. I have same setup and left everything on max 6 where it was an it's good for me. But I have six xmaxxs and xrts in different stages of modd. A little addicted to these rcs lol
hi, I set the timing to 15° on my hobbywing 120 amps and it works great 😉
Awesome I’ve been waiting for this video I have the same setup Im waiting for better weather too run it, good job super detailed video man.

My sledge esc started cutting out recently, hobbywing coming also. Great video
Let us know how it goes
Update the firmware and set LVC to the lowest to Auto Low.
Great upgrade
Thanks!
Thanks!
That’s awesome, thank you!!

Do you have last years xmaxx? This version has the E-Clip to help hold the pinion on. Thanks for the sub

Definitely try that, thank you
@ No problem have a Merry Christmas with your family
Set the lipo cells to 8s. It helps with low voltage protection.
Good tip, definitely will

What gearing are you running?
20/46 which is fine, maybe it’s the punch that’s gotta go up
Why the program box don't they come with Bluetooth built in? Mine did a few weeks ago
We didn’t know at the time, but yes they are both BT. There is a port it looks like on the Max8.

I believe you’re right, I wouldn’t mess with that anyways. It ramps up the motor RPM maybe if I switch to a bigger motor.
Same ESC, what are the best settings in the parameters to remove the throttle delay?
Just set your throttle trim up a bit, seems like all Hobbywing esc do that. It pisses me off.
I’ve heard the Traxxas batteries are bad for hobbywing since they don’t give enough c like 20c
The only thing I can see damaging the ESC is too much power, not too little.
Xmaxx or Xrt?? Looking to buy one soon lol

Any cogging? Mine cogs at very low speeds for a slight second. When giving it higher throttle from the go it does not do it… just low throttle
Adjust initial throttle force. It’s there to prevent cogging at low speeds.
I haven’t had any cogging issues, make sure the firmware is updated.
I’m guessing you would go up on the percentage?
@ yup! Basically, raise the setting until cogging is eliminated

I thought I heard the stock receiver won’t handle over 6volt bec … have you had any issues
I actually had to do some research on this before we did it. The stock receiver can handle up to 7.4v, no issues so far.

Amain hobbies tech support, the receiver can handle it. Traxxas probably doesn’t want you buying a aftermarket ESC in order to increase the BEC
I hate soldering it never works right
It really takes patience, I’ve been doing it for a long time.
Please change your fan 😂 get the 20000rmp aluminium one....they are amaizing
Everyone says stock electronics suck but I havent had any problems I upgraded the fans with Proteks and its still going Temps stay cool
This is our first night issue with the electronic, normally they are great. And yeah we’re getting ProTek fans for all.
You are limited on potential of your rig based on your batteries if you get some 100c 120 max discharge you will not be sorry on the power gains.
I’m sure we are based on the LiPos, but they have the best warranty. I wanna get a few Gens Ace for the Sledge.
C ratings are blown up. Traxxas batteries are fine. I have same setup and left everything on max 6 where it was an it's good for me. But I have six xmaxxs and xrts in different stages of modd. A little addicted to these rcs lol
The stock fans dont like hv..
That fan has a bend blade, we will be getting some ProTek fans soon
