Good morning! How has the XLX2 been holding up for you? I'm about to order a XLX2 for my DBXL-E 2.0 but now I'm reading about faulty ESC's and cases of blowing up :(
I could never let that thing get that close to me.lol..that sounds like a train going by. Great job on the run and the video! 100+MPH with 8s KRATON, crazy! Congrats!
SOOO EFFIN COOL BRO. I THINK CUZ IT'S SO DAMN BIG IT DOESN'T LOOK AS FAST AS IT'S ACTUALLY GOIN. BUT I'M SURE IN REAL LIFE IT'S BLAZIN!!! BADASS! THANKYOU FOR SHARING.
That was cool seeing that beast do over 100Mph! Great job brother😀👍 On a side note I used the same range booster you did the video on...works great! I did a vid on what I did to install it and I gave you credit and added a link to your vid in the description.
I have a arrma felony with a 5680 t.p 1920 kv motor. Had a 42 pinion with a 34 spool and ran it for the first time today and the esc caught fire! And I literally went about 35 feet not even half throttle. Seen ya video and was thinking of getting this esc
Sorry to hear that. Last time I ran an xlx in my Kraton it caught fire at only 83 mph, long ago. Haven't decided to push it until this new esc. It did the trick
Just watched Kevin Talbot burn up 2 of those XLX2's, almost back to back, and he didn't even get to run them yet. Seemed like he did the install totally fine. He even tried the TP motor. Anyway, your videos are awesome! I was thinking of using the stock 8s kraton electronics, for a limitless. I'm not big time like you. 100mph would be nice, without reaching thermal shutdown too quickly.
Yes it is unfortunate his blew up. I bought a second right from my local hobby store and never had an issue with it. Reach out to me in my instagram @innovation and I can further help you out on your goal!
I love that kind of adrenaline lol... man as a kid and till today .... when I’m REALLLLY excited about something either rc cars or painting real cars at home.... it raiiiiins lol Florida here too.
I love the wing on the front for downforce. And it looks badass! Can you share what parts/mods you used to accomplish that? It would be so appreciated. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you! Edit: lol After looking a little closer I can see you did a lot of custom fab to get that splitter installed. Really looks good man. That road you're running on it perfect. It's nice and long and it has plenty of grass on each side if the car goes off the road. That thing is a beast! Now I need to up my Kraton 8s... (I picked the same body to.. :) Right now I'm stuffing a max 6 and an 1100kv into my Felony.
@InnovationRC its in the original message i have the K8S with the MM8S/800kv setup i bought 34/39 and also have 39/39 but i kno im not ready for that 1:1 ratio besdies that if im not mistaken i heard 1mil/2mil/500k on oil but seeing how fast yours is i want your personal recommendation!! 🙏🏽🙇♂️
@@proefficientsvision6325 800kv on 8s with a 1:1 ratio isn't that astronomical, run it in gear reduction first 34/39 and see how well it performs. If it runs cool then bump it up to 1:1. Yeah I was wondering what you meant by setup when you told me the vehicle and electronics already that's usually the setup. You meant gearing= setup. Gotcha haha
I just got my xlx2 yesterday, I bought a TP 5660 1356kv after I told hobby shop I wanted a tp motor to go with the esc and wanted decent speed around 85mph and to bash a little also nothing crazy. I have the stock 47 spur and they said start with a 25 pinion and work your way up. After looking on TP's site I saw the chart that said 6s not 8s, do you think it will be a issue? also do you think the 25 is good or should I jump to a 30t while sticking with the 47t main gear? Thank you for your reply. Videos are great and very informative. happy holidays...
That 5660 can definitely take 8s. Just watch your motor temperatures because that esc won't get hot on ya. And yes I'd totally get a starting gearing of that. If you want to go faster go up 2 teeth every time
We are very close to it. And proven right behind it as well... A future video of it hits 100 mph twice in a row without cutout and super low temps. Stay tuned 🤠
Man....... I’ll take rain on the back too if it’s going to be something fun and exciting. I love the rain tho at times.... in once took a shower under the cold rain with a bar of Dr Squach it was the pine tar. If your going to try ANY of their soaps get pine tar. It’s the only one that smells like a $7 bar of soap. Awesome vid.
How many kv is that t.p coke can motor? I have a 5680 t.p coke can 1920kv and just brought the xlx2 esc for it and my hobby shop said the xlx2 can’t handle the motor so I called castle and they told me the same thing but I see you and a few other guys on RUclips have pretty much the same setup I’m trying to do. Do these guys no what they talking bout? I have motor and esc and being told I can’t put them in my car
You'll be fine with that motor as long as you gear accordingly. The biggest weak link will be your batteries. If the motor asks too much and the esc will literally suck the life out of the batteries and it won't be pretty after that
I have the exact same set up. I’m running the XLX to 800 KV combo I don’t have a GPS to see how fast I’m going but I know it isn’t 100 what gear are you using? I’m almost 1 to 1.
I figured it out! The esc not the issue the max volts for the motor is 28.5 and I was running 8s which is higher than the 28.5 so I just gotta run 6 or 7 s and I’ll be good
Hey I'm just about done building my Kraton 8s EXB. I'm not trying to break any records. But just curious what kind of speeds my car is running. What is a good cost effective way to measure the speeds of my Kraton? It's my very first RC car build EVER. These Kratons are bad ass. I've got the car, built the Castle 1100kv system for it. Just waiting on some QS8 connectors to hook the batteries up. I just want a cool car to do some light bashing. I guess my goal is to see how far I can push this platform without breaking anything. Some people are sending it 30 feet in the air and bending chassis. I don't want to break it AT ALL. How far can we push the Kraton 8s EXB without destroying it. What you've done is impressive as hell. But if I can do half of what you've done, and keep it reliable, it will say a lot for the Arrma Kraton 8s platform. I'm sitting here looking at it, across from me in my living room. It's bigger than I was expecting. But wow, what an impressive machine. I'm dying to get it running, just waiting on more QS8 connectors, hopefully next try I can solder them without melting the plastic housings. So hopefully within the next week. I'm guessing it's going to be around 55mph, but something basic to measure the mph would help a lot.
I have the Turnigy TD10, and for do the speeds runs, I have to lock the front and rear diff or not?, I say that because from factory the front is locked and the rear is not.
the energy of a 20lb object going 100mph is just over 6,600 lb ft. the engery of a an average 50 caliber (655 grains which is .093 lbs going just over 3,000 feet pers second) is over 13,000 lb ft of energy. i read your comment and thought surely a 20lb rc car going 100mph has more energy than a 50 cal, boy was i wrong.
@@dirtrider88 Loaded Kraton with 2 x 4s is about 26-27lbs. And are you talking muzzle energy or the kinetic energy on inpact? Seriously though, I think we agree it's impressive!
Absolutely awesome! Knowing how big and heavy this car is, being able to achieve that speed is really amazing. Well done, Brandon. 😎👍
Thanks Vas! Very much appreciated. It was certainly a challenge
hello friend what's the name of the tires you mounted on the Kraton 8S I want to buy them
Can you send me the exact tire model and size of your tires,please? I'd like to put them on a 8s outcast.
They are Gona Bananas foams, I am hoping they release another set soon after traxxas released their new truck
Huge thanks to YOU guys for watching! Share th video if you enjoyed the SCREAM!

Now that's truly M.I.D.W.I.D! material bro! Bravo!
Thats sick bro!! Great example of a beastly truck, guess you're gonna need one of those 2028 1100kv motors next aye? Nice mate
Thank you. Future video- the new 1100kv beats the daylights out of this to motor I ran... Efficiency wise.
Wow super impressive! Good job Brandon!!
Nice run Bro with the Kraton 8s🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great runs main it’s crazy that size truck will hit 100mph and it looked pretty stable too
It is build to do this speed all day 😎
Whoa. That is sweet. Love you vids. Very professional.
Thanks I appreciate that for sure I try to be as professional as possible 😅
My goodness, that is insane! Very impressive man. Clean build also

So I have a kraton 8s, what did you put into this bad boy to make it hit 100 mph? Beautiful build my man. So cool
Love it man!! Keep thrashing those sweet rigs! Lemme know if your tired of any of the road warriors and want to pass it onto me 😂😂😂😂😂😂👀
That is an INSANE speed for a 1/5 Scale rig!!
Thank you sir!
Innovation RC you’re welcome 😉
OmG big homie your kraton is nuts I gotta do this combo!! Dope video!!
Appreciate it!!
Nice! That thing is flying first time I seen a 1/5th scale hit 100mph
Yeah there’s nothing like foam tires. They are the perfect material and density for speed runs overall fantastic speed machine.Kudos.
Thank you sir
Awesome video. BLBadventures stopping by and throwing down a massive like
Caught your massive like 💪 thanks man
Awesome build man super clean look too

Nice job bro!!! 💯
Thanks man! Appreciated
Wow! That is amazing - the stuff you do is LEGIT man! 👍👍👏👏😊😊
Thank you sir! I push legitimacy on this channel! If you see 203 mph I'm doing 204 mph! Lol
Great work mate!
Thanks man!

Thank you on that. I'm sure the esc will be on sale very soon so you can get one 😊
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Gorgeous truck and that speed - holy crap!!
Thank you sir!
Just got a 6s kraton and I already want to upgrade the power in the future and I haven't even fully tested it yet. Bad ass!!!
I love that sounds ❤❤❤❤
I love that kind of adrenaline lol... man as a kid and till today .... when I’m REALLLLY excited about something either rc cars or painting real cars at home.... it raiiiiins lol Florida here too.

Can you please show us how you mounted that front wing
That's a nice spaceship you got there!
Awesome.. can u show how u made the front spoiler.?;)
Super. good luck 120 mph.
Damn dude! What gearing was that? Do you think the Castle 1100KV could get that close? Also , what size motor is that and name. I didn't see in video.
Crazy, what a build.
Thank you sir!

is this the same Kraton the pulling machine Kraton?
Actually this is his father! This was the Kraton I tested for Horizon Hobby originally. Way before the EXB came out.
any info on that front splitter/spoiler setup/install ?
I have the Turnigy TD10, and for do the speeds runs, I have to lock the front and rear diff or not?, I say that because from factory the front is locked and the rear is not.
Do NOT lock your diffs. Only the center or run a spool. You want to run thicker oils in the front and rear diff to allow some give
@@InnovationRC How thick do you recommend me?
Like the wing splitter. Sounds awesome when it goes by. That’s one fast 8s Kraton.
Appreciate that for sure man
Damn..i keep watching for the sound of it as it goes by u.. lol
Awesome speed run bro but do 8-10 speed runs in a row then test your 🤒 temps.
BTW !!! I’m in Port St. Lucie where are you in Florida ?
I did two in a row in a newer video over 100 Mph. Esc was 99 degrees motor was like 140. I am in the boynton beach to deerfield area

What other diffs would I use for this guy!? Lol all good yeah it's a v1 Kraton 8s just gears, electronics, and tuning makes this happen

Let’s good my boy!😁🤗
Thanks brother!
What motor esc combo are u running can u give me your list of your set up it’s so sick for the kraton 8s
What gearing are you running here? Looked at both your Kraton speed runs, great job!
what is the name of that motor mount you use with the finger ajustment?you use your figers to ajust the pinion. it has a little round nob to ajust it.
The amount of kinetic energy in a 10kg RC travelling at over 100mph... probably the same as a 50.cal!
