Bro, we need more of your content, you really let me down this past eight months or 😭. You’re a big part of the reason I decided to buy an 5th scale and join the hobby a year ago! I’m just busting your balls a little bit. I know you have a real life dude, but we miss ya!
I know man believe me I'm busting my own balls over here too lol but yeah life threw curve balls I had to hit somehow and I had to take a break and slow down. I'll still make videos but it won't and can't be as often anymore. I'll never truly stop RUclips...
I like it a lot of people are disappointed because they thought it was gonna be a 12s application. What I got out of the video smaller footprint powerhouse 6s esc with great fine tuned cryo-drive. I loved the video good stuff innovation RC! Nice @castle creations
Thank you! I think people want 12s just to say they run 12s. In all reality, 8s is an insane amount of power when paired with the right batteries. 12s is just torque output that will snap axles, twist driveshafts etc. I get why 12s could be good but I've thought for years whoever needs that much voltage is doing something wrong... There are guys running 1/5 Kratons over 110 mph with a single 8s motor setup!
@@InnovationRC yes sir it’s to say look at the 12s I’m hitting 140s on 6s setup and still trying to tame and dial in my 8s 1721-2400 limitless drag setup!
Another great product of Castle Creations, I just thought of pulling my MMX8s esc from my XO-1 and putting in this new Cobra 8 esc then reusing my older MMX8s in my new Arrma Felony i just got today just before 4th of July. Both will have 1717 sensored 1,650kv motors and knowing that the Cobra 8 can handle a bigger and heavier car with a more powerful 1721 motor yet still runs cool. I'm sold on this esc for my XO-1 i never intended to go 8s with it anyways.
Hey bud, awesome video once again. Im very new to this so this question is probably gonna sound stupid, but, can you have a limitless as a street basher? And if so what would the set up be?
Absolutely yes, you can really run many different setups, gear it for around 60-70 mph and it should be decent for bashing. Look at a bone stock Arrma Infraction. Does 60-65 out of the box to bash with, that's what you'd want inside a limitless to just play around with
What tp power motor would you recommend for a stock location limitless, basher/ speed demon but not like 135mph I’d be ok with 100, also I have a mamba monster x 8s to power it
Great video sir!!! I Have a Vendetta and want to keep the stock motor with the Cobra. I heard that it sometimes gives problems with sensorless motors, right? With the update it will be gone?
@@InnovationRC it is time! welcome the future in 2k. see i dont even say do 4k and give you some slack bro. haha! yeah nah try it. i love to watch your videos but 1080p on a big screen just sucks. have a nice one!
@@cloudpandarism2627 lol appreciate that, I did try 4k and it killed the GoPro super quick. Overheated as well. Have to invest in a new camera not from GoPro in order to do better quality I'm sick of GoPro. Absolutely junk! 1440/60 is probably the best medium all around
@@InnovationRC 4k60 is. but 2k will do until you have something new. and it should also not overheat on that mode. and yes. i sold all my gopro stuff for that exact reason. if you wanna film hassle free and comfortable get a DJI action 4. i got 2 of them and love it. sooo much better than the freezing stuttering crashing gopro crap. there are some clips up. see for yourself. cheers mate
1721 fits in the stock motor mount. Being it's a 17 series it utilizes the same motor end cap and bolt mounting positions like a 1717 1650kv motor does
@@InnovationRC I figured there would be good reason. I’m looking forward to more content from you. Made my evening seeing you had posted (males my life sound a bit sad but I do t care)
Dang I thought a 12s was coming out!! That's it I'm making my felony into an off roader!!! All I need is knobbies and discard all the carbon splitters and I'm going off road I already have a castle system in it
I sent out 2 pairs of dual typhoons broken fans to game changer that I purchased less than a year prior and it took him 2 months to ship them back out. Also sent him the regulator that he sells for $65 and never returned it back. So he pretty much Stole my regulator and charged me half price for the “new” V2 version of his typhoon fans. I kept messaging him on eBay asking about it and never got a response back. I would never recommend anyone buying his fans.
Cooling fans started getting expensive for me as they would break under high speed crashes. I did lots of research and found the issue with why they are so fragile. The motor wires are tiny! I think they’re 24 or maybe even 26 gauge. This makes it the weak link. I found an Etsy seller that used high speed fans with aluminum bodies and beefy 20 gauge silicone wire. I tried upgrading the graveyard of cooling fans I had with heavier gauge wire but I don’t have the tools to solder using a magnifying glass so I realized I had to find the PN on the beefy fans I found.
@@tkostang yeah I was really hyped when I first got them and my wires ripped off within a couple months. Better to just get a big heat sink with a small fan 35x35 protek fan and give the motor & esc a few mins to cool down with one of those hand held face you use on ur face that they sell on eBay for $15
I promise I'm not trying to be that guy but exactly how is this better than the new Hobbywings? Their newest Max 5, 6,8, &10 are pretty great. Is it the data logging capability of this that's better? I'm legitimately interested.
I will say Castle has always had more great features over Hobbywing. Except this is a next gen esc replacing the older Mamba Monster X. This esc compared to the Hobbywing max 8 (it's direct competitor), can handle way more power, efficiently too. Here's what I'll say, if your doing basic playing or bashing Hobbywing is great. If you want to break records, go Castle...

@@InnovationRC I feel you. I’ll take what I can get man, I appreciate your efforts and your content 👍
I've been bashing some of my limitless cars in the dirt for a while now. I don't know why more people don't. Looks like a fun setup!! Keep it up!
Totaly agree , all my streats have curbs and kills the car 😅
Those are some damn good slides you had there! Glad to see new content again 🙂
Thanks Nathan!

You should post the build sheet to the comments or description, so cool!! Might inspire more builds!! Great work.
That's a great idea! Thanks for that

Ayyyyyyyyye. You came through with the video like you told me you would Wednesday at the shop. Awesome. Thanks for your help getting my K8 up again
Haha I don't lie when I say I'm going to do something! Anytime happy to help 👍
Well I’ll be back I didn’t realize I had a broken hinge pin and I lost a pivot ball retainer somehow. Lol good day bro
Is this the track in delray?
@@ericramos9361 yessir it is!
Damn good driving brother
that was ceazy strong. Awesome bro 🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you!
That esc looks amazing, can't wait to throw this in my sledge since its sitting with a blown traxxas esc
Perfect esc to go into the sledge!
Great stuff, love it!
What tp power motor would you recommend for a stock location limitless, basher/ speed demon but not like 135mph I’d be ok with 100, also I have a mamba monster x 8s to power it
1950kv 4060 on 4s/6s voltage
Do you have content with the same exact setup and gearing and Lipo type/count but with a different castle esc for comparison?
Great video sir!!! I Have a Vendetta and want to keep the stock motor with the Cobra. I heard that it sometimes gives problems with sensorless motors, right? With the update it will be gone?
It should be fine when sensorless. I tested it with a sensorless motor as well and it felt great
Great video they no that car is more than a speed car know been following sense the vendetta almost hit you at a 100 mph on 4s I'm loving that new esc
I’m finding that I can get a mamba monster 8s for around the same price. Is there any reason to take this over the MM8s?
Different tuning options. If you are definitely never running 8s, then the Cobra is a definite choice.
I temped to do a similar conversion to 1 of my limitesses. What exactly where those tires,
I'm a customer at rc boca,can u guys install the upgrade system on my losi moto x?
Awesome car and track.
I enjoyed watching this compared to my gloomy side of the skies!!😂
Glad you liked it!
always premium content!
Thanks Ramos! I appreciate that
This has 6.5mm female bullet versus the 6s mamba has 4mm..great improvement!
Awesome videos
my dude! love your video but PLEASE upload at least 2k. i am getting pixel cancer here on my big screen in 1080p. 😅😆😘
Oh snap so you need at least 1440 I see. Thanks for the heads up! The GoPro wants to explode when it records higher than 1080, need to upgrade soon!

Good stuff buddy
Are you sure thats a 1721? thought they were much too long to fit in the stock motor mount.
1721 fits in the stock motor mount. Being it's a 17 series it utilizes the same motor end cap and bolt mounting positions like a 1717 1650kv motor does
@@InnovationRC the 1721 is over 100mm long and the 1717 is only 85mm long and just barely squeezes in. What am I not getting here?
Wow nice
Question why do they not sell your batteries on Amazon
I should tell the providers to do that, might be better in the long run of things!
They do or did, I purchased a 4s 10000mah off amazon Sept 5th 2023 but it say unavailable at the moment!😏
Me and my nephew wanna set your batteries but we can't seem to find them
Well they do have a two pack of the 4s 10000mah available right now for $179 if that's what you're looking for👍
Hope the mmx8s and xlx2 replacement is soon. That's one expensive 6s esc.
Nice. I've missed your content dude.
Thanks man I know it's been too long. I've had a lot going on in my life the last year. Waves are starting to settle

@@InnovationRC just make sure you buy 2 of whatever castle you get so you have a replacement on hand for when the first one breaks.
Its not even going to move the needle. Max8 is better. Castle is essentially dead. Living on legacy.
I'm disappointed! Period
Yea. I thought castle was gonna come out with something good!!!
She looks outta place but it's all fun. Poooo baby jjj
Game. Changer fans v1 are worst
#wanglmtss ... hopefully you got that😂....from the first lap, I can tell it is a huge difference respectfully...super nice!! 🛻💨🏁👍
