For someone like myself who’s only run hobbywing this is a great insight to what the castle system programs include. Thanks heaps brother! Awesome work!!
I just love the look of the crusher chassis! Great motor/esc choice, cool you can check all diff alarms you get. You have great vids! Stay safe and bash on from Colorado!!
@@philippghadiri7085 … castle makes a 12s esc its like $300 or less. It’s one of the Phoenix esc ones there 3 types. They are meant for airplanes but ppl use them on road. More for speed runs but not bash bcs of the spikes you get from gunning and stopping too often.
Hey Joe, @ 4:03... Was that... Was that spider gears I heard jumping int the doffs trying to stop that heavy car with tall gears??? NIRRC might have to pull you in for questioning on that one. Haha
I’m planning on putting this combo in my k8 this weekend... what size pinion do you recommend to keep temps cool and speed around 50-55..... I’ll be doing street bashing mostly Thanks
What servo would you recommend? Beast 1000 spectrum's 1/5 servo or the power hobby? Not really wanting to bust the wallet on the beast but I will if it's that much better... Thanks 😊
I've got the 1100 in my xmaxx and should have a video up by monday, I plan to try the same 45t pinion I had with the 800kv and see if it works out, if not, I have a 40t now lol
Dam man that is impressive! I do have a request. Could you try out the 1100kv with the MMX8S esc? I know you ran that ESC with the 800kv motor and it handled it fine. Just curious since Castle isn't selling the 1100kv with the MMX8S as a combo 🤷♂️
Well I have to assume they found out the 1100 pulls over 400A easily, I currently have no plans to make adapters to run the 1100 on the MMX8s, I need to keep my MMX8s esc's alive. Sorry
@@GreatLakesRC yes,so the 1100kv is faster than 800kv right?so best choice to my 1/5 exb kraton is xlx2 with 1100kv right?just forget the 800kv...am i right?
Hi i just get the Kraton 8s EXB and i have a 1100kv with Mama moster X ESC. What pinion i should be use? Comes with 47 Spur and Comes with extra 39 Spur
Funny question… is a 35 spur & 35 pinion the same as a 30 spur and a 30 pinion? Matching gears are matching gears period right lol? I just hear ppl asking redundant questions soo I’m making sure I myself an not crazy lol.
Stock system will do 50mph safe. Box says 55 but a safe 50. If the castle did 65 To 70 running cool then yes great upgrade it's worth it. I think the kraton needs a 10 to 12s set up to get a safe 75 mph and not cooking. Low kv big volts 45k rpm. I think.
hello to you modelist friends, I was coming to you to find out if you could help me because I have a problem I just received a castle manba xlx 8s drive and my fan goes on and off after 10 minutes is this normal ??? can you help me or advise me thanks to you
@@ExocagedRC It sounds like too much gearing for that motor. I honestly prefer the smaller 1100kv for the xmaxx to reduce weight compared to the new bigger 1100kv motor that you tested here in order to keep weight down, but yes, this bigger 1100kv motor seems to be perfect for the K8S. Honestly I'm selling my K8S because I can't get the landings perfectly, so I'm bending driveshafts like crazy and destroying the wing mount and bolts in the process too. I'm affraid to even jump it now. And I don't want to feel like that. I'll keep the O8S because it's lighter and it seems to bend the driveshafts way less.
I got a new video to get put up of the newest Castle 1100 in the outcast and it’s awesome. Geared it modestly and still got 54mph with a lot of room for more. I’d go with the 1100 as it is now. 1 week ago I would have said 800.
Im now running this exact setup with a 39t spur and a 39t limitless spool gear for my pinion. Im also getting the excessive load code and on 1st run blew the stock tires off it lol
How’s the 800kv do in this application compared to 1100kv? I know the 800kv is more power but can you still stay in the high 50mph? How’s the temps on 800kv and runtime?
For someone like myself who’s only run hobbywing this is a great insight to what the castle system programs include. Thanks heaps brother! Awesome work!!
Glad it was helpful, I wanted to see the graphs too.
Most important thing, that RC car is getting a check up, for good health, and no issues there, nice bashing.😉😎👍🎸🎶🧙
Can’t wait to try this setup out in the Kraton 8s. Thanks for sharing. Great video 👍
Hope you enjoy it!
@@ExocagedRC looking at how it doing on the one you got. I’m going to love it. I have the 800 kv in it now.
Oh man you know how to create a monster, 5th scale... Love everything you do In the RC world... Epic standing backflips too... 5👍 out 5👍!!!
Big thanks
Awesome brother! Honestly dropping the 800kv in has been a disappointment. I've been patiently waiting for a CDN retailer to have the 1100kv in stock.
I just love the look of the crusher chassis! Great motor/esc choice, cool you can check all diff alarms you get. You have great vids! Stay safe and bash on from Colorado!!
Thanks, will do!
That might be the ultimate esc & motor combo for the 6s or 8s kraton. Nice vid. Keep on bashin'
You've made that Kraton into one badass basher!
That things sounds so good one of the best sounding our rc'💗 s I've heard
Killer setup the k8 with that setup is promising👌🏼
Yup I’m convinced on the crusher chassi
Yes I should have listened to the beeps too ...I am installing a smaller pinion on my X-Maxx
what size did you have on there that gave you the beeps?
@@ExocagedRC 43 pinion 50 spur ....its a little fast with this combination.....stepped back to 40 /50 ....
Awesome video RC ran petty fast keep it up 👍
That is a beast! 👍
I like to see how it do with the long chassis should be able put more power down.
oh yeah it would stay down better but I think this combo would stand that up really easily.
"If you guys like what you see" what a voice 😂 gets me every time 👍🤣
LoL yeah I was relaxed when I did that.
Great, I still don't know which one is better for dbxle 2.0, 1100 kv or 800 kv.
800kv, the 1100kv would most likely cause issues
Man she is beasting out there. I cant wait to try it. Im currently running a 12s setup, but I want to see how this setup compares to it. Dope vid.
If castle ever makes that 12s ESC I'll be all over it for sure!!!
@@ExocagedRC why havent they done it yet?

I had to go with a 35t and it still got a bit warm, I'd start there and see how yours runs.
@@ExocagedRC What would you consider warm? Was it over 180 on the can?
@@ExocagedRC 35t and what spur or pinion

Awesome intel inside🤓😎
How does the 1100 kv compare to the 800???? Considering swapping out my hw 800kv in xmaxx and trying this set up 🤔 🧐 🧐 thanks for the video bro 🍻
I've got the 1100 in my xmaxx and should have a video up by monday, I plan to try the same 45t pinion I had with the 800kv and see if it works out, if not, I have a 40t now lol
So you’re running a 40t pinion with the stock spur? That’s a huge jump from stock?
Did you say you had a 40t pinion on the stock esc/motor also?
Now this is epic
Dam man that is impressive! I do have a request. Could you try out the 1100kv with the MMX8S esc? I know you ran that ESC with the 800kv motor and it handled it fine. Just curious since Castle isn't selling the 1100kv with the MMX8S as a combo 🤷♂️

I know you have the vivaton bulkheads, did you have to shim the differential ring and pinion gear differently? Or did it fit in there like stock.
So the conclusion is castle 1100kv more faster than castle 800kv motor right?
yes but it pulls more amps doing it.
Nice gear but for the money the stock system is very good. Running 55mph and gearing down that's what the stock system does. But good to know.
The power level of this vs the stock is incredible. Stock is ok but this is very very wild
Stock system will do 50mph safe. Box says 55 but a safe 50. If the castle did 65
To 70 running cool then yes great upgrade it's worth it. I think the kraton needs a 10 to 12s set up to get a safe 75 mph and not cooking. Low kv big volts 45k rpm. I think.
I don't want insane speeds, but rather low temps and runtime. Would you recommend 800kv or 1100kv motor on my Kraton 8s? Thanks.
800kv for that.
What am I doing wrong I can get mines to do a wheelie to save my life? I just put the exb together? Xlx2 1100kv
Traction? If traction isn’t good it won’t come up. What gearing?
You’re center diff needs THICKER grease or even silicone ear plugs. Your front wheels are spinning too much.
How did you bypass the AVC? Can't get mine to calibrate.
That is bad ass
What is a good pinion and sper gear for 1100kv
I think with all that power its time for you to do the xmaxx front bumper mod...there's a video on RUclips to show how its done
I've seen a few and they look really good
@@ExocagedRC its crazy like it was made for it....traxxas to the rescue for arrma again 😆
I’ve been having a hard time figuring out whether to go 800 or 1100 what does everyone recommend I have a 8S Kraton
hello to you modelist friends, I was coming to you to find out if you could help me because I have a problem I just received a castle manba xlx 8s drive and my fan goes on and off after 10 minutes is this normal ??? can you help me or advise me thanks to you
Yeah that’s normal. It only comes on when needed.
What do you think about the recommendation to go with 25/35 gearing for a 1/5 1100kv motor? I guess it depends on the vehicle.
well, it didn't really like the 40/47 on this kraton, in the end gearing depends on many factors, weight, diff gearing, tire size etc.
@@ExocagedRC It sounds like too much gearing for that motor. I honestly prefer the smaller 1100kv for the xmaxx to reduce weight compared to the new bigger 1100kv motor that you tested here in order to keep weight down, but yes, this bigger 1100kv motor seems to be perfect for the K8S.

Wow 420A 🚀🚀🚀
How did you mount the xlx2 on the Kraton? You just used double sided tape?
I want to upgrade my traxxas motor and esc. I want to go faster. You have any recommendations on any. Sorry I have a slash 4x4
I have had it for 3 years now
@Barry Boppins both
Maybe a max 10 combo
Did it fit ok in the KRATON? (the motor)
Yep
How long did the batteries last?
If you had to choose one, would you go 800kv or 1100kv?
I got a new video to get put up of the newest Castle 1100 in the outcast and it’s awesome. Geared it modestly and still got 54mph with a lot of room for more. I’d go with the 1100 as it is now. 1 week ago I would have said 800.

Is that easy to program the ESC, sorry to ask never own castle, trying to buy the combo with 800kv, what do I need to program the ESC
I use their Bluetooth module and program it from my cell phone. Very easy to use and do.
Do you have the parts list for this mod?
What spur where you running ?
Stock 47t
@@ExocagedRC …. Ok stock spur 47 & 35 pinion
How’s the 800kv do in this application compared to 1100kv? I know the 800kv is more power but can you still stay in the high 50mph? How’s the temps on 800kv and runtime?
"Excessive Load" just wanna I want to hear from my basher setup...
Just go back to Hobbywing :D it doesn't complain.
I did the 35t pinion and no more excessive load and it drove better.
Yep, Max5 and Leopard 58113 1050kv for hassle free raw power
The XLX2 can be programmed to run at 50% and it’ll run like a HW.
As for the front flip, it looked like, to me, that ABS was on.
I don’t run abs on anything. It was tires slipping.
@@ExocagedRC The Kraton has a lower COG than the Xmaxx from what I can see, that I think is partly why as well
Castle 1100
