I’m not stroking your ego here, but the build edit was a thing of beauty. Fantastic. Personally, I’m not huge on too much babbling while doing a build video. Open the part. Put on the part. Send it.
Wow 60miles per hour with an xmaxx!! Impressive. I really enjoy these RC car modification videos which are spliced together! Not too long not too short just the fun bits!
If I were to have an Xmaxx I'd run the mamba 8s with 1650 combo, since is sensored I won't have to worry about temps, also on sensored it sounds really cool 🤣, also a good idea to do for your maxx and Xmaxx is add washers on all three spots to mount the servo. It avoids tearing the case or adapter when you run the trucks especially on the maxx it's easy to tear it, can't wait for next video :) cheers!
That would be an epic setup bro! And yeah I should do that but I'm to lazy to pull the xmaxx apart again to get to the servo haha. Video will be soon I've been in lock down and can't go far
@@MatthewSimm the Xmaxx shouldn't really have to worry, it's more on the maxx since it's mounted upside right, it's a great way to keep each corner more secure so it'll prevent it from breaking cases, also when is the wltoys coming out? The one you did 100mph
I dig your camera angles and editing. The more I watch lately I try to learn about the video structure from the ones I like the most. Who knows, maybe someday I can get something off the ground. Im into so many things I'll never figure out what to do. Your videos are really clean and to the point. Very good job.
My first xmaxx is basically stock. At first I was running stock pinion stock spur (18/54) with proline trenchers. I absolutely love those tires but due to the weight they really put a lot of strain on the gears. So I’m now running Badlands on it and I run 18/50. My 2nd xmaxx is running a 800kv HOBBYWING motor with a WFO Mount HOBBYWING max5 esc and 1.5 mod gears 30/33
I too love the trencher but they are a big strain, I've just ordered some dura trax six pack x they seem to be a good option. Also the trenchers also strain the stock steering, you'd need to upgrade the bell crank and the steering links.
@@MatthewSimm yeah that was also a big complaint of mine. Although with all the setbacks they are still one of my favorite tires because they actually let the Xmaxx be an XMaxx
Ha, no such thing as too much power. Epic video. Have a new purple Vorteks turning up tomorrow. Feels like the night before Christmas. Ha. Thanks for sharing. Keep em coming. John
While I feel where you’re coming from, there is absolutely too much power situations. Drove 6S hoss the other day. Trying to bash with it was absurd. Absolutely absurd. Hahahaha. Even blinked in that things direction and it flipped. Some people just love power, and I can’t hate. Whatever you enjoy!!!
I've always wanted to see an Xmax built for crawling. Has 2 speed transmission so it can crawl and bash. Locking and unlocking diffs, and maybe even 4ws.
Back again, since i was getting some info on replacement fans for my X-Maxx's stock heatsink and this month i bought an older 1,100KV Hobbywing. And i plan to run it with the Max 6 that i already have in my truck or go with a Spektrum Firma 160 V2 which is similar to a Max 6 but it's more powerful and it runs better with a firmware update. I might also get the same Trencher tires and maybe an upgraded servo with the standard servo conversion since i don't think the stock Traxxas style servos can handle 7.4 or 8.4V coming from the BEC.
Great video...my xmaxx is has the max5 and 800kv set up..wfo motor mount,wfo mod1.5 30/35 gears..wfo titanium axle shafts...dual 40mm motor fans and single esc fan...ripple killer for smooth high speed ramp hits..
Hey! Does the legend answer? I have a question. I got the Xmax and just purchased the Max6 combo with 1100kv. What’s the best pinion and spur combo? I was going to do 30/25 1.5 but everyone was saying not to I’ll burn the Max6. Also going with the reef triple 7 servo if that matters. What do you recommend? Thanks for all your great videos.
I was a long time subscriber with Kevin Talbot since he had less that your subs. He just hit 1million. Keep doing what your doing and you will hit that too!🤙
amazing. I currently building an Xmaxx. got it in a bin of random rc parts....I'll bring it up to stock first learn to drive it as it is my first 1/5 scale rc.
With this setup, how is the battery lifetime for one run let's you are using 2 6700mah batteries? How long does it take for the batteries to deplete on one run with this setup?
Do you think the max6 would be good for a erevo 2.0? I plan to do bashing and some speed runs or should I just just get the max8. I'm building it up, so I don't have any electronics yet.
Hey dude ! Just wondering, how is it holding up? Am running stock motor and max 6 20 50 at the moment but slow for backflips in my opinion. Would 1650 be ok on 8s? People say its 6s rated but iv seen alot of people running 1600 kv and 1650 kv motors so not sure. I do have the high rpm fans on order as well so. Would love your feedback
Had to watch the best thing ever like 13times. The out of nowhere backflip kick jump double backflip combo. Instant 360 with a 720 backflip combo. Also Called the buy one get two free miracle. 🙌
Hey thanks Chris! 😀 yes, I'd say in total, about 10 hours of editing, give or take an hour. I'm considering a 1100kv with that gearing, this combo is great, but maybe too high of kv haha
I have the same hobbywing combo ESC n motor in my hobao tq7 conversion 1/8 buggy.....all 4 tires spin no problem....hopefully I'll hit the 💯 mph one day.....they said it'll do it no problem, gotta build my spool drive shaft for speed runs...no oiled diffs for speed runs
Matthew! Did you have to modify the gpm servo mount at all? I bought the exact same servo mount from gpm for my xmaxx and the servo doesn't line up with the bearing on the end of the servo horn. Did you have this issue?
No I didn't have this issue sorry dude, I was a bit hard to align but it fits. I had to cut the plastic at the front of the servo area but that's because my servo stuck out a bit at the front. Maybe you slightly bent the front bulkhead just enough to change to position?
Thanks for the feedback, it lines up with everything and I can screw it down but the servo horn won't line up with the support bearing when putting the front half back on. Forcing it was unsuccessful lol. Might have to settle for the traxxas mount instead
Hows the durability factor ? I see this was done over 12 months ago and was just wondering if your still running this set up. I really like the size and weight of the max 6 and 1650kv over the 5 and 1100kv. Need a follow up vid. I cant make up my mind on which way I want to go. Keep up the great work mate.
I love it bro, but, you don't want to gear up much if at all. I find the max6 will struggle with amp draw if gearing too high, also the stock heatsink and fans fit straight on and do a great job keeping it cool. With this setup, you don't really need 8s for bashing, but man it's fun haha 😆
The standing backflip is insane. Those tires are definitely a huge reason it does that now. They balloon to perfection. Great vid bro really enjoyed it
I don't think I'll beabke to stop doing this for a while haha, going to need the heavy duty servo saver spring though and possibly metal turn rods to hold the servos power! Glad you liked it man 😀
I dont understand kv at all so im gonna ask. Why do some big motors have low kv and be considered better than an xmaxx stock motor for example?. Would a 800 kv motor be faster and better for backflips better than stock or would something with higher kv than stock be better? And why and how
Loved it! That triple backflip ability is frickin crazy. I’m still running stock motor and gearing with the Duratrax Hatchets. Blew out my steering servo on Saturday, so I’m sidelined until pay day. lol. Gonna have to get that metal geared one now. Oh shucks. 😂
Thanks man! But I'll be honest, I kind of gunned it and hoped for the best 🤣🤣 The savox I got is about the same price as the upgraded traxxas servo, but you'll need the gpm adaptor (I recommend it because it has the servo that fits the stock steering bearing) and I'd recommend a heavy duty servo saver 😀
Sweet rig question for you im looking for more air control not worried about top speed i have a spectrum160 amp esc would this motor 1650kv get the job done yours was ballistic what gearing were you running ? Thanks in advance
Slightly higher KV and better build quality but the stock motor is just fine and will be a lot better with the max 6, I don't think the cost to upgrade to the 1650kv is worth it really
Do you still recommend this setup for the Xmaxx? I’ve been seeing mixed reviews on it. The crazy thing is, I can sell my stock xmaxx set up and be able to buy this one. And I was wondering if it was worth it?
Yeah dude, that's what I'm using in this video 😀 fits perfectly. Also there is a max 8 but it's only 6s. You can also get a max 5 but that's a 200amp 8s esc and is made for Bigger motors such as the 1100kv and 800kv
Awesome video man, I ordered a max 6 1650kv combo like you have in this video but people are telling me that it will be way too underpowered for my xmaxx, but it's obviously not in yours, does it still perform OK because now I'm worried that the combo I ordered will be too slow in my xmaxx
It'll be fine dude, just don't gear up too much or it'll heat up too much, I found stock gearing is pretty perfect for this setup. You get more power and speed 💪
I’m going with TP5870 (58x122mm)motor 1200kv and max5 with 20/35 1.5mod gearing and 2085X servo on 7.4v and flysky noble radio and also going with trenchers tires and it’s a beast but heavy with all the upgrades. Need to be little easy on hard landings to not keep full throttle when the car slams in the ground because the diffs take damage easy
And I don’t jump in ramps or on hard surfaces but yes they are heavy and the truck takes a beating but the air control is outstanding with those tires and the car does standing backflips easy on the trenches, I’m thinking of go with the widekit when it’s released in Sweden
I bought all the same mods in this video before watching the video except I got the max5, not max6, yet to fit it all as I've also bought every green alloy part available, just waiting on the diff covers then I'll put it together
Great video sir I really enjoy your content. I don’t own a xmax but would love to get one, I do have a maxx and love it. The price is what’s holding me back. Keep up the great work and stay safe
@@MatthewSimm ya I have one that is a shelf queen cause it has every piece of aluminium u can get for it but it’s so heavy u no . But the other two are bash kings , I have a 800 kv in one that is just to fast fast and the other is stock and I really want to put the 1650 kv in it next but the Xmaxx is the best Rc out there 👍👍
So you made that upgrade huh👍🏾🏎 Do know that 4985 motor is only rated for 6s.. The esc will take it but not so much for the motor man. Just the esc alone on the stock motor will give you a crazy boost in power.
Yeah I do know that dude but I've seen plenty use this motor and I thought thought extra kv would be fun haha, the motor will handle 8s fine, but that's also why I got those crazy fans haha, I may go with the 1100kv later on and put this system into another build, ill see how she holds up for now though 😀
@@MatthewSimm Bro im telling you that motor will only hold for a little while (Ask me how i know)but hey do what you do man! Just don't want a $120 motor that's rated up to 6s burn up a $1,000 truck👍🏾 Great video as always and thanks for engaging with your rc community.
@@MatthewSimm damn bro now I'm soo confused lol like I said before I'm new lol maybe it runs cooler with lower number kv but at the same speed lol I don't know but your video was insane 😅
Do have a part number for the heatsink and fan shroud. Can't seem to find the correct heat sink for this motor. Great video. Definitely got a new subscriber here.
Oh nice dude! I have the hobbywing 1650kv on my mojave and on 8s it's amazing haha, you should try it 😉 kraton would be completely different to a Mojave though lol
Excellent video. Love the build and not much babble. Little is ok with just (heads up) or facts that I can use. I don't wanna hear about their personal life. I watch videos to expand my knowledge about the world of bashing. Keep up with the videos. New to your channel. Have Fun.
hey I'm like 98% sure I want an xmcxx like tomorrow literally lol. what can o do to make it a bit faster right toff the bat. I live across the street from a traxxis store so getting the parts is really easy lol. great vid!!!
Nice dude! You should totally get one. It comes with an optional speed spur gear, use that, plenty of speed! Bit they are know to break so I'd probably stick with stock gearing until you can order yourself some hardened steel gears (pinion and spur)
On most drills and screws, yes. The one I'm using is a screw driver and I can adjust the torque settings, it'll still strip small screws but the big screws are fine as it's on the lowest setting 😀
Hi mate try turning down your break's on the ESC. I run 24 pionon gear 46 spur gear with Max 5 ESC. I'm running the same motor and ESC in my KRATON 6s 1/8 and it's crazy insane on 8s. I've made my own braces and I don't bend chassis anymore. I'm a retired mechanic and been playing with these toys for a long time mate.. great video mate love the stand still backflips 🤣😂😁👍
Cool video, Wow almost 60mph out of an X-Maxx that's crazy! i have owned 2 X-Maxxs' in my lifetime so far both were stock systems but i plan to run either a Hobbywing Max 6\1,650KV Combo or Max 5 G1 or G2\1,100KV Combo if they'll still make them or a Spektrum Firma 160\1,100KV combo in mine someday.
Hey dude, I use this combo on 8s in my mojave now and in my xmaxx, so far no heat issues, however I have a large heat sink and two powerful fans so maybe try it first and keep an eye on temps 😀
I’m not stroking your ego here, but the build edit was a thing of beauty. Fantastic. Personally, I’m not huge on too much babbling while doing a build video. Open the part. Put on the part. Send it.
Thabks mate, appreciate it 😀
Cannot agree more.
Somewhat satisfying and -to-the-point-!
Man I agree. Very well done.
I personally love the technology babble!
Agreed
Wow 60miles per hour with an xmaxx!! Impressive. I really enjoy these RC car modification videos which are spliced together! Not too long not too short just the fun bits!
Hey thanks dude 😀 I really enjoyed making it.
Love that motor esc combo. I got one in a Tekno EB 48 2.0 and it’s nuts Love to see it pull standing back flips in a xmaxx!!!!
It's wild now haha, I also have one in my mojave and it's awesome!

It's too hard to tell, sorry mate, too many variables but I'd say around 25-35 minutes depending how you drive it.
That front flip where the body flew off made me lol. Nice rig. Im going Kraton 8S myself.
Do you think the max6 would be good for a erevo 2.0? I plan to do bashing and some speed runs or should I just just get the max8. I'm building it up, so I don't have any electronics yet.

As long as you can keep the temps down, it will be fine 🙂
@@MatthewSimm with rocket fans was it still to hot to run? You said temps were fine in the video though no?
“What setup would you like to run on your X-Maxx?” Me: I already need an X-Maxx before thinking about upgrades 😂🤣
Haha, when I was saving to get mine, I thought the same thing, I didn't think I'd upgrade it though
Had to watch the best thing ever like 13times. The out of nowhere backflip kick jump double backflip combo. Instant 360 with a 720 backflip combo. Also Called the buy one get two free miracle. 🙌
Hello, nice Car😎 what is the difficult to the Hobbywing 1250kv?
Great video! That editing must have taken 10 hours!
Most people here (Germany) put in the max5 combo. 1.5 mod gears, 25/35
Hey thanks Chris! 😀 yes, I'd say in total, about 10 hours of editing, give or take an hour.
I'm considering a 1100kv with that gearing, this combo is great, but maybe too high of kv haha
I have the same hobbywing combo ESC n motor in my hobao tq7 conversion 1/8 buggy.....all 4 tires spin no problem....hopefully I'll hit the 💯 mph one day.....they said it'll do it no problem, gotta build my spool drive shaft for speed runs...no oiled diffs for speed runs

I cant make up my mind on which way I want to go.
Keep up the great work mate.
awesome video mate! how does does the hobbywing motor compare to the stock 8s motor? I already have the esc just don't know if I should get the motor
I love it bro, but, you don't want to gear up much if at all. I find the max6 will struggle with amp draw if gearing too high, also the stock heatsink and fans fit straight on and do a great job keeping it cool.
With this setup, you don't really need 8s for bashing, but man it's fun haha 😆
How was the temps on motor with 8s. Is the motor ment to handle 8s , what motor heat sink ur using. Nice monster xmax
The standing backflip is insane. Those tires are definitely a huge reason it does that now. They balloon to perfection. Great vid bro really enjoyed it

I dont understand kv at all so im gonna ask. Why do some big motors have low kv and be considered better than an xmaxx stock motor for example?. Would a 800 kv motor be faster and better for backflips better than stock or would something with higher kv than stock be better? And why and how

Happy to help 😀
How are you keeping your diffs for more than one run. Mine shreds front back or center diff almost every run. I blame the Proline badlands i bought.
Not sure dude 🤔
Check your shimming for your drive shaft pinions into the bulk head's! You can get shims from your local hobby shop or on line.
Sweet rig question for you im looking for more air control not worried about top speed i have a spectrum160 amp esc would this motor 1650kv get the job done yours was ballistic what gearing were you running ? Thanks in advance
Do u need aftermarket motor mount or u can still put the 1650kv hobbywing with stock motor mount??
You'll need an aftermarket mount, I'm using the wfo mini for the 1650kv
What gearing??
Or is the max8? Is there a max8 esc from hobbywing?
Hobbywing max5 esc paired with 800kv motor. Wfo 1.5mod gears 18/35. Wfo mount, and battery strap holder
That sounds sweet dude!
Did you have to trim the servo screw mounts for it to fit and not interfere with bottom skid plate ?
Is this motor a lot powerful than factory? Planning to go for max6, but keep the factory motor. Thx
Slightly higher KV and better build quality but the stock motor is just fine and will be a lot better with the max 6, I don't think the cost to upgrade to the 1650kv is worth it really
that was really awesome Matt ...love that editing of your video ...right to the point on everything you done to your Xmax..bash on my Friend 🤘👊👍
much appreciated, thanks dude :)
These trucks are so much fun. Had me laughing just watching this. Definitely going to run a similar setup in my X-Maxx. Nice vid bro 👍.
Thanks dude, glad I could make you laugh haha
Do you still recommend this setup for the Xmaxx? I’ve been seeing mixed reviews on it. The crazy thing is, I can sell my stock xmaxx set up and be able to buy this one. And I was wondering if it was worth it?
I would personally go with the 1100kv, I think the 1650kv draws too much power and heats up too much!
Awesome Traxxas X-Maxx video buddy.
Keep up the good work fella.
Massive 👍's up!
Hi. I have a small question. I need to buy a x Maxx after that I need to put two motors to make it 300a can we put 2 150a esc with motor.
Do I need the heatsync and fans if I buy this motor or can I run it with just the motor and esc
You can run it without a heat sink, but it depends on you're gearing etc..
IVE NEVER SEEN A XMAXX DO A TRIPLE STANDING BACKFLIP?! WOW!
Haha, I love doing it, it's probably not great for the drive train but oh well
Bro those fans it sounds like a jet winding up holy S@#T DUDE 93KLM well done 👊👍💯
They do haha! Kept her nice and cool even on 8s! Cheers brother 😀
Awesome video, that xmax is ridiculous. Love the standing backflips
Thanks Leroy 😀
Bro is the hobbywing max6 is the right upgrade for the stock esc on a xmaxx8s?
Yeah dude, that's what I'm using in this video 😀 fits perfectly. Also there is a max 8 but it's only 6s. You can also get a max 5 but that's a 200amp 8s esc and is made for Bigger motors such as the 1100kv and 800kv
Wow!!! Absolute monster with that setup!!! 👊👊👍👍
Thanks bro 😀
Curious if that system improved the rotational capability. Double backflips off a ramp? Would love to see that!
Awesome video man, I ordered a max 6 1650kv combo like you have in this video but people are telling me that it will be way too underpowered for my xmaxx, but it's obviously not in yours, does it still perform OK because now I'm worried that the combo I ordered will be too slow in my xmaxx
It'll be fine dude, just don't gear up too much or it'll heat up too much, I found stock gearing is pretty perfect for this setup. You get more power and speed 💪
@@MatthewSimm thanks man I really appreciate it
Yeah 🙌🙌🙌 thanks for those links below...nice video 😉👍🏻
No worries, thanks for watching mate
Surprised you didn't have to trim the servo a bit to fit. I had to do that with mine
Using the same servo or a different one?
I’m going with TP5870 (58x122mm)motor 1200kv and max5 with 20/35 1.5mod gearing and 2085X servo on 7.4v and flysky noble radio and also going with trenchers tires and it’s a beast but heavy with all the upgrades. Need to be little easy on hard landings to not keep full throttle when the car slams in the ground because the diffs take damage easy
Sound slide an awesome setup dude! If you aren't set on trenchers, I'd recommend looking at a lighter tire
@@MatthewSimm I have all pro-line tires and duratrax uphills and sometimes I go on the kraton tires
And I don’t jump in ramps or on hard surfaces but yes they are heavy and the truck takes a beating but the air control is outstanding with those tires and the car does standing backflips easy on the trenches, I’m thinking of go with the widekit when it’s released in Sweden
How's your temp with the tp 5870 I have the exact same motor with the same gearing and it gets hot
what motor mount did you use? i have the same max 6 combo that i want to put in my xmaxx, and also, is 1650kv ok with 8s?
The 1650kv seems fine with 8s, however, the esc (max6) will over heat if there is too much load from o v er gearing
@@MatthewSimm thanks
Sir, what battery are u using , which brand. How much volt. And what size gears?
I most definitely want to see more videos of your Xmaxx! I’m putting in a 1717 1580kv paired with the BowHouse Rc motor mount.
Thanks dude, that sounds like an awesome setup! 👌
Always super enjoyable to watch your stuff man. You really look like you're having fun, those traxx are crazy.
Appreciate it brother 😀
That is a rill monster !!!!!!
Oh yeah 😎
I'm think of getting one this Christmas or the arma 8s out casts I like that red monster love that red !!!!
My imaginary x max would be pretty much the same as yours,double standing backflips and all. ✌
Thanks bro 😀
Great video man keep up the good work every time I see one of you it gives me a big smile
Thanks bro, I'm glad I can make your day a little better! 😀
I bought all the same mods in this video before watching the video except I got the max5, not max6, yet to fit it all as I've also bought every green alloy part available, just waiting on the diff covers then I'll put it together
Hi im trying to put a max 6 1100 kv combo in my xmaxx. What spur and pinion are the best?
Danke dafür das du das in Meilen und auch in Km/h zeigst, schöne Grüße aus Austria !
Great video sir I really enjoy your content. I don’t own a xmax but would love to get one, I do have a maxx and love it. The price is what’s holding me back. Keep up the great work and stay safe
Hey thanks Michael, I'm glad you liked the video and I totally understand, the xmaxx isn't cheap!
Backflip Madness!!! 😎
Yes sir!!
Gday mate, just wondering what bits you use in the cordless?
Hey dude! I just yse MIP quick tips
Diggin the blue body on there dude!
Cheers dude 😀 she's a bet worse for wear at the moment, I'm consider a heavy duty body as I break too many haha
I see the 1650 says 6s, and nothing about 8s are they built to handle 8s consistently?
no not particularly but i haven't had any issues. do it at your own risk bro :)
Love the Xmaxx I have 3 of them and it’s the toughest Rc I own . I also like the proline pro 4X4 and the proline fusion are great RCs 👍👍
Oh nice dude! 3 xmaxxs all build differently?
@@MatthewSimm ya I have one that is a shelf queen cause it has every piece of aluminium u can get for it but it’s so heavy u no .
But the other two are bash kings , I have a 800 kv in one that is just to fast fast and the other is stock and I really want to put the 1650 kv in it next but the Xmaxx is the best Rc out there 👍👍
Thats heaps cool dude! I'd love a shelf queen too but I just can't help myself! Haha
Hi Matteu!
What mount have you used? Small or large?
Very nice video Bro!
XD
I used the wfo small mount 😀 but if you want to use a 1100 or 800kv, you'll need the large mount
@@MatthewSimm ohhh, thank you very much man!
Hug hugge from Brazil!
😆
If you see this what gearing you prefer for a stock motor and max6 esc set up
So you made that upgrade huh👍🏾🏎 Do know that 4985 motor is only rated for 6s.. The esc will take it but not so much for the motor man. Just the esc alone on the stock motor will give you a crazy boost in power.
Yeah I do know that dude but I've seen plenty use this motor and I thought thought extra kv would be fun haha, the motor will handle 8s fine, but that's also why I got those crazy fans haha, I may go with the 1100kv later on and put this system into another build, ill see how she holds up for now though 😀
@@MatthewSimm Bro im telling you that motor will only hold for a little while (Ask me how i know)but hey do what you do man! Just don't want a $120 motor that's rated up to 6s burn up a $1,000 truck👍🏾 Great video as always and thanks for engaging with your rc community.
I kind of want to know now man haha
I'll be definitely keeping an eye on those temps!
@@MatthewSimm 🤣 Drive it like you stole it lol
Hahaha 🤣🤣
I don't get why soo much power? I thought like the lower kv number was more torque and faster like 800kv. I'm new to this so I'm trying to understand
Good question dude.
In general, the lower the kv the more torque and the high the kv, the faster it spins.
Both have their pros and cons 😀
@@MatthewSimm damn bro now I'm soo confused lol like I said before I'm new lol maybe it runs cooler with lower number kv but at the same speed lol I don't know but your video was insane 😅
I’ve been wondering what is better castle or hobby wing 1650kv motor
Amazing video X-Maxx is my dream rc looks great nice build up 🤟🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟👍
Thanks Ian 😀
Yo what’s the best gearing for this to keep the temps low
Was that 58 mph still on the 20/50 gearing? Or did I hear you say you had a 25 in there?
Looks a great set up. Would you advise removing the wheelie bar? My Xmaxx is stock for now.
Thanks dude and it's totally up to you, I prefer it without the wheelie bar but it's just a personal choice 😀
dude what is the part number or model number for that desk chair? Looks incredible!
It's called the anda seat dark knight
Triple backflip crazy man
hi what motor mount should i buy to put hobbywing 1650kv motor in x maxx 6s?
Do have a part number for the heatsink and fan shroud. Can't seem to find the correct heat sink for this motor. Great video. Definitely got a new subscriber here.
Hello big fan, just wanted to ask a question where did you get the pinion and spur gear? Thanks!
Very nice updated!! look's like you gave to the xmaxx, red bull!!
During the slow mo of that backflip your tires looked super toed in, did something break?
Nah man, it's from the servo saver, I thought the same thing when watching the replay haha
How about the monster mamba 8s 1717-1650 Kv set up would that have the same results bits a sensored motor
Yeah that would be wild too dude 😀 I onky went with hobby wing because it's cheaper and castle can be hard to get in Australia
@@MatthewSimm I have it on my kraton 6s. Amd on 6s with a 20t pinion it will do a double backflip scarred to try it on 8s but the xmaxx might be fun
Oh nice dude! I have the hobbywing 1650kv on my mojave and on 8s it's amazing haha, you should try it 😉 kraton would be completely different to a Mojave though lol
Will these motor handle 8s bashing
Excellent video. Love the build and not much babble. Little is ok with just (heads up) or facts that I can use. I don't wanna hear about their personal life. I watch videos to expand my knowledge about the world of bashing. Keep up with the videos.
New to your channel.
Have Fun.
Hey thanks for that dude!
Welcome 🙏
Awesome vid Matt. Keep up the good work!
Hey! Thanks Justin, I really appreciate it 😀
hey I'm like 98% sure I want an xmcxx like tomorrow literally lol. what can o do to make it a bit faster right toff the bat. I live across the street from a traxxis store so getting the parts is really easy lol. great vid!!!
Nice dude! You should totally get one. It comes with an optional speed spur gear, use that, plenty of speed! Bit they are know to break so I'd probably stick with stock gearing until you can order yourself some hardened steel gears (pinion and spur)
Subscribed, you pretty much did exactly what I'm planning with mine. Good video!
When your tightening your xmaxx screws with a drill make sure you don’t tighten it all the way with a drill because it will shred the screw threads
On most drills and screws, yes. The one I'm using is a screw driver and I can adjust the torque settings, it'll still strip small screws but the big screws are fine as it's on the lowest setting 😀
@@MatthewSimm ohhhhhhh ok
@@evanrose3070 thanks though dude 😀
Really like your editing style
Thanks dude 😀
Was that a mini motor mount?
Hi mate try turning down your break's on the ESC. I run 24 pionon gear 46 spur gear with Max 5 ESC. I'm running the same motor and ESC in my KRATON 6s 1/8 and it's crazy insane on 8s. I've made my own braces and I don't bend chassis anymore. I'm a retired mechanic and been playing with these toys for a long time mate.. great video mate love the stand still backflips 🤣😂😁👍
Cool video, Wow almost 60mph out of an X-Maxx that's crazy! i have owned 2 X-Maxxs' in my lifetime so far both were stock systems but i plan to run either a Hobbywing Max 6\1,650KV Combo or Max 5 G1 or G2\1,100KV Combo if they'll still make them or a Spektrum Firma 160\1,100KV combo in mine someday.
Wow..super power!! Crazy!!
I have a arrma kraton exb, and I also have the 1650kv motor with the max6 esc. I wonder if it's safe to use this combo on 8s, or not.
Hey dude, I use this combo on 8s in my mojave now and in my xmaxx, so far no heat issues, however I have a large heat sink and two powerful fans so maybe try it first and keep an eye on temps 😀
@@MatthewSimm thank you, I'm going to buy a double fan heatsink before running it
Good idea 😀 what pinion are you using?
@@MatthewSimm I was using a 12t but just ordered a 19t
I already had many pinions but they were 32dp and not m1 :(
@@MatthewSimm how long have you been using the Mojave and xmaxx on 8s yet?
Do you need that motor mount to put the 1650kv motor
