I asked my local shop to bring one of these in last week for me. I’m really hoping it’s there today. This looks like a great upgrade over the V1 Max 5!!! I still can’t believe they made the Max 5 12s capable and 250 continuous amps! Great detailed review Joe. I can’t wait to see this running! That Kraton is going to be crazy!!! 👊👊👍👍
Wow those max 5 G2 look beautiful. I sold my new max 5 G1 and 1100KV to get this stuff. Yeah good luck with that 800KV I hope it fits in the kraton well 👍. Try the 1100KV first I know they fit much better and those really need 1100KV from my experience. But yeah you got more wight in her so I get it.
Thanks, Joe, I needed that. I have a Max4/560kv in my Gravedigger, a Max5/800kv in my MTXL Gravedigger LCG, and 8 other Max5/800s in various Kratons, Xmaxxes, XRTs, and Outcasts. Now doing a Outcast EXB 1/2 price beater. I have an XLX2 and a Castle sensored 800. If you were me , would you hold out for a Max5 G2? Given I have quite a few CNHL 9500s 6s lunkers in the gun safe.
I’m like the only person that had two new g2 catch on fire in my Kratin 6s. Hobby wing replaced the first one and then that one caught on fire. Idkn why I’m having such bad luck with the g2 esc
Quick ? Buddy I’m running an hobbywing 800kv sensor less with a max 5. I’m thinking about grabbing this new max 5 g2 I wonder if I’ll noticed a difference or not vs the older max 5 you think?
I’m looking at building at 5ive T 2.0 (mainly 8s) will run a lot of 12 also though. Looking to achieve at least 75mph. Is this the way to go or should I go a different direction?
Which motors would you recommend for the Xmaxx and Kraton 8s? I was thinking 800kv but everyone seems to go with 1100 for speed? I s the 800kv not fast enough?
hello, I also have a problem with the engine and the controller, I don't know what it is I followed all the steps to start, but the red light flashes non-stop, I don't know what it could be tell me where I'm wrong, please
hello, can you help me too, please, I don't know what's wrong with the controller that doesn't start, I followed all the steps, I have a sensored HOBBYWING EZRUN MAX5
@@ExocagedRC the 1100 G2 is quite a bit longer than the original 1100... So is this going to be a lot faster? A video comparing the two systems might be a good thing?
Hi, just wondering whether it's possible to see the internals of the new 56118 motor? I've order inadvertently the new motor not realising it won't fit in my Kraton 8S and have a crazy idea of somehow using the bell end of the 56113 motor and making it shorter. Unfortunately I don't have the funds to buy a Vitavon chassis and I'm left in a bit of a dilemma.
@ExocagedRC I have read on the M2C website that they're currently working on a chassis that will accommodate the new G2 range of motors. Maybe, during the interim, I'll have to settle for a previous generation motor.
@@ExocagedRC I would appreciate it but if it’s a ton of work don’t worry about it it’s gonna go in something no matter what, I understand the differences in those set up’s too though
@@ExocagedRCI can confirm that it does not fit in my outcast 8s, unfortunately. Even the older motor (113mm long) just barely fits with minor sanding. The new G2 motor is 119.2mm for all 3 Kv options and there’s no way to clear the steering linkage unfortunately.
Agreed, seems like they would have thought about all those sales before designing the new version. That said, M2C just released (literally today) a new bell crank that allows this motor to fit in all arrma 8s! Still sucks you can’t fit it without modification though
I've been running the 56118 1100kv on the max6 g2 with no problems so far in my Kraton 8s

@@ExocagedRCI’m sure you are the Kraton looks like a work of art🤩 The machining of all of those parts 🤯 I can’t wait to see that build completed 👊👊👍👍
I just bought the older one... I mean it's sweet. But clearly I want this now. And I guess something to put it in.
That Max5 is going to be crazy. The Kraton looks sick
Thanks man!

I’m putting one in my scx6 with the 650kv. Just waiting for it to come in to see what all needs to be done
Thank you as always for your content . I ordered a max 4 and then the max 5G2 due too the $$ and size for weight saving in my K8S
Just bought the 1100kv Combo and hope to try 800kv at a later date on my outcast 8s
I put mine in the Dbxle last night awesome on 12s
Nice. 800 or 650?
@@ExocagedRC 800kv good sir ! Paired with the flm 2 inch extended arm kit handles how it should have!
I didn’t realize they made a new motor too🤦🏻♂️ I just bought a 800kv yesterday for my xmaxx🤦🏻♂️great video/comparison
This will end up in an XRT but perfect for Xmaxx as well
Liking the buzz cut looks good on ya 😎… thanks for always showing us very interesting releases and content. We love your builds💪
Looks like I'm building a 12s limitless!
Swinging for the fences, I see😅
The amp rating is just wild, hopefully just for fractions of a second! I mean it must be quick or those wires would glow red ,,
Yep you are correct.
Exo..as always your nailing it with the content. I can't wait to see it in the k8s as I may be putting that in my k8s depending on your test.
The issue with a stock K8s could be that added motor length. Not sure yet.
I would love to see this system in an X-maxx or XRT AND ON 12S SPEED RUNS
You will
I copped my 800kv motor running mine with the max 4 stays super Cool! Love it.

Mine hasn't shipped yet. Can't wait to see the vid on your K8.
This should be a great set up!! 🔥🔥🔥
I’d really like to see this in the X-Maxx and just what it would take to make it fit in….
will that run a 70 120 size motor at 680 kv?
Great video what did the max 5 g2 punch setting come on punch 5?
So the max5 and the 800kv motors does 12s? I thought it would only do 8s? I’m looking for what to instal for my Losi 5t conversion.
Castle needs to step up their game
Yes they do.
Lol 90s tech
Since they got bought they have no reason.
Castle who..
Definitely!!!!
That is one sharp looking truck!👍👍😁😎✌️
Thanks!
Max4 need timing options. Great video
Exo how do you like the new hobby wing g2
I’m looking at building at 5ive T 2.0 (mainly 8s) will run a lot of 12 also though. Looking to achieve at least 75mph. Is this the way to go or should I go a different direction?
Can i drop this thing in on my dbxle 2.0 without any upgrades?
Man the max4 is huge! What do you put it in?
I put it in huge trucks! LoL. Let’s see. I have one in Xmaxx, Kraton, Losi TLR 5iveB, Losi DBXLE, and the Raminator.

Will the 650 motor for in tyne outcast?
This is definitely on my list , great Video 👍
I would love to see someone take the 6s ESC and hookah 3300kv EX motor up to it and see how it worked 4s
Let's see it preform before we rule out Castle 😂
It probably has a higher resolution encoder.
Damnit.. I just ordered 2. Thanks Exo! lol

Exo please help??? How to set max5 g2 to take away delay???
Just sold my max5 g2/1100kv for $300. I wasn’t very happy with it
I have the max 5 G2 and 1100 KV G2 now.. any chance you can explain the difference between the old 1100 and the new one?
sensored is the main thing

How in the world you get them already? I pre-ordered mine where mine ain't even shipped
My buddy got his too. They shipped a few days ago. Maybe there are 2 shipments?
@@ExocagedRC I hope so cuz I'm waiting on one with the 560 and it don't even look like mine shipped out yet
Let me know how that set up is, I was looking at one for my tekno sct
This is too big. You’d want the Max8G2 for that
Wow im just mad i wasted my money on max 4 and i needed this!
Man the Max4 is a monster beast! It’s hard to fit some things.
P.s. just bought max5 through the affiliate link. Which is the same way i bought the max 4
raminator test?

Well they usually use all the space in them. You're wanting to make it fit. I currently have it in the Xmaxx right now.
@ExocagedRC I have read on the M2C website that they're currently working on a chassis that will accommodate the new G2 range of motors. Maybe, during the interim, I'll have to settle for a previous generation motor.
We need m2c create a longer chassis for kraton. That 12s motor is way too long for Kraton 8S
You think the 650kv is too much for outcast 8s
Could you show us if it fits a kraton 8s , I’m putting it in that or a limitless I want something 12s
I can check with my Outcast but even that has an M2c chassis. It’s in my K8s but it’s a whole

They shipped a few days ago. There may have been two shipments. My buddy got his too.
@@ExocagedRC gotcha.
Hi, will old1100 kv engine fits with new max5 G2? Regards
I'm wondering the same
Big ole beer can motors!!
I think you need to throw that bad boy into an Xmaxx asap
always end up with it really running...
Look good joe
I find it really odd how they made all the motor options too ling for the Arrma 8s cars...

Confirmed, does not fit the Kraton or Outcast 8s unfortunately. It’s about 6mm too long
Cool vid n info👍🏼
which motor combo fits aarma outcast 1/5 exb 8s. 56118 or 5690?
5690 BUT M2C has a new bellcrank to fit the 56118 in there.
@@ExocagedRC thank you
@@ExocagedRC cant find it any marketplace
@@ExocagedRC m2c part #3268 but cant see available anywhere
can it run 12s high volt ?
Not sure about that one.
everyone says xmaxx xrt but they will just wheelie 100% of the time
I thought the lower the kv2 more of the alike low in crawl you want higher KV for fast
