Hey I know that place!! Lol I think I just missed you guys, had to dip around 3 that Sunday. Anyways I absolutely love how there’s no cogging when you crawl, might have to look into this setup for the Xmaxx Great upload brother, hopefully I’ll catch you guys again next time 🤙🏼
Innovation RC Next Sunday I’ll be racing off pga Tamiya Man Race Truck 🏁 Race Series (episode 3)🏁 #Tamiyarcsemitruck ruclips.net/video/H5hwLJQ-6ZI/видео.html haha too much fun.... But the following Sunday I’ll definitely be there my bro 👊🏼😎👍🏼
I just got my mamba monster x with the 2200kv motor I was running 6s. unfortunately, only into the second day of use the esc released a massive amount of smoke and some flames as well. When this happened I had just finished temping the motor everything was cool around 130-140°F for the motor, not sure the temperature of the esc, even though that is within temperature I let it cool even until the esc fan turned off (fan was barely kickin to start with) once I went to pull away I only got a few feet before boom. I’ve done some reading apparently quite common when running 6s I’ve heard a capacitor bank is the fix but I’m not sure, also for all the people that say just don’t run 6s na it says it handles 6s and I want to use it what I bought it for without the flames. I absolutely loved the power it made so I want to keep the motor and continue to rock 6s. Maybe upgrading to the 8s esc just to not run at 100% all the time idk any help would be greatly appreciated
Absolutely claim warranty with Castle. Was the fan working when you stopped running the first time? The stock fans are weak and break which is kind of annoying. As for the boom part I am unsure, I usually bash with my mmx8s in a 30lb truck and it never gets hot. See what Castle says
Innovation RC yeah the fan was working I just left the shop I bought it from he asked some basic warranty questions and said he’s talked to Castle and Tekin they said if a faulty product is going to go bad it’s going to within the first week and he doesn’t see why they wouldn’t cover it so sounds like I just got a dud wheew
@@andrewtexiera2858 idk what you mean by that but no Max5 is out amping a castle system while an 800kv Poseidon is close but no cigar to a 2028. Castle ESCs have been proven time and time again to push faster, run cooler and amp out higher than anything else. Want to line up your Max5/Poseidon with my castle setup for a drag race? 😎
Never said it would out amp lol I said in the video you can clearly see my system is faster than his with his current gearing besides the x maxx is sold I have a 12s kraton
Great stuff Brandon 😜!!!! K8s sensored crawler 😱. That was Nuts Brother. Lots of torque with that Beast. You could probably gear 40T easily. I'm thinking it might run cooler in this same scenario with less time revved at higher RPMs. 👍👍😎💪👊👊
Good lite bashing test bran. I'm surprised about the high temps tho, for such big ass low kv motor, and you were barely breaking 50mph off-road. Yeah the fan gonna be needed for sure
Absolutely, I believe a 36 pinion might be a sweet spot. Hit 50 and it'd be a great bash speed. Waiting for the 1/5 heatsink mounts to get back in Stock
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
Maybe I should have gone with this instead of going with the xlx2 and 800kv motor, but it was only like $70 more for all that extra power? I think it's overkill for my Outcast 8s. Hehe. I'm going to try 39/39 gearing.
You'll be happy with either the mmx8s or xlx2. Both run super efficient. If you currently have the mmx8s your golden. The motor gets hot faster than the esc
@@InnovationRC Yeah it's running perfectly fine with the XLX2 AND 1100KV MOTOR 35/47 gearing. No issues so far after like 7 runs. Some XLX2 are having problems but not mine. Castle mentioned that about 5% of the first batch can short out when plugged for the first time.
@@InnovationRC How would you rate this combo for all around kraton 8s bashing? Looking for something a little faster more powerful than my firma 1250 combos but don’t wanna risk overheating the mmx8s running a 800kv in my kraton 8s exb. Thanks.
2:00 Pfft you didn't read the box for the motor? Not for human or animal propulsion! In all seriousness though, recently bought this hunk of motor for my poor 1/8th Typhon.
@@InnovationRC i had a feeling so i love castle but i hate what they do with there specifications i bet this esc would bring the best out of a tp motor that known for high amp draw
Haha just goes to show how inefficient, amp drawing, heat generating Castle crap is if you suggest a fan. My Kraton has a Max5, Hobbystar 56112 980kv with a 32T pinion and it runs cool, at 140f on a hot and humid 90f degree day here in Australia
At the end I literally show the motor temp at 145°F. Esc was under 100°F after the whole bash session. Did you even watch the end? I recommend a fan regardless when bashing to keep temps down and to higher maintain efficiency. 140 is hot for me, I guess I have higher expectations.
All fun aside, invest in a motor fan/heatsink if you decide to gear higher.
Follow Innovation RC on Instagram for inside looks at what's coming next!
That sensored control and power is superb for a rig that heavy!!! Wow!
QUESTION. I never zee the castle motors with fans. Do they really stay that cool to not need one. Or is there other reasons??

I'm about to make a similar setup with a 2028 and an XLX2. How do you fit the motor in? My steering linkage is in the way.
Hm, do you have a Kraton or outcast 8s?
Subbed bro! That 2028 MMx8 will eat up the XMAXX all day
Appreciate it! Comparing stock to stock, xmaxx wouldn't last with this system in it
@@InnovationRC hahaha good point there 😂😂
I had an 800kv Poseidon motor and max 5 was doing 60-70 in the video as you could see me take off on the castle system

Your most definitely correct. I want to try the arrma 39t spool gear. Maybe next video!
love your vids man can you send me the link to this setup please? for the arrma karton8s

@@InnovationRC I run Nicholas Tordella turbo fan. They're freaking helpful especially warmer weather. Have a look. You probably already know..
@@CommanderAstigRC I was going to say I have a NTF fan that I'm waiting to get the heatsink to attach to it. So yes I intend on going that route!
@@maornavon2231 look up Nicholas Tordella on FB and dm him. Cool guy.
@@maornavon2231 contact Nick Tordella on Facebook and follow his NTF Fan page
What wire clips are you using to organize your motor wires?
Great testing brother
Appreciate that man
Badass combo setup 👊👊
TRUE MONSTER!!!!!!
Great video and i wanted to ask how do you get your compass and speed data that is available on the video in the bottom right corner ?
WoooooW very nice
I enjoyed,Thank You 👍🏻

The oem fan is thermally controlled, so yes it'll turn on once temperature breaches 115*F and turn off when under that temperature
Are you running the esc in smart sense mode, or sensored only mode
Smart sense, I desire to keep the flexibility if I want to run a sensorless motor
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Awesome video nice set up🔥
Thank you
Great bash session!
Great on board footage 👌I reckon with 1:1 gearing should get good top end. If you can fit that bigger Pinion on Motor Mount.
Absolutely agreed. I don't think I'll bash with 1:1 gearing but I'll run a few teeth higher for sure

Has the Castle Creation motor Hallsensors, so would it run with ebike Controller and 16s?
im doing the same thing do you think you could link the products used on the truck?
thanks!
Great video. How did you install that motor on the stock motor mount? Mod 1 or 1.5 pinion?
Thanks, everything is mod 1, aftermarket motor mount adapter but stock mount
that spot looks sweet! where in FL is that?
West Delray!
Hey bud what kind of camera so you have mounted ?
Which one is better in those 2 cars
Were did you get the motor adaptor from
Motor mount?
Fun video 😎👍 That ESC has never got to 100 lol
Cool bash session
Yessir, thanks man
what do u recommend this setup or max5 combo?
This over max 5. Mmx8s stays far cooler and is much more efficient than any hibbywing esc
Hey bruh make a short vid on the esc calibrating nice rigs
Overkill much?? Lol! That's what it's all about. Very nice!!
Naw never overkill!
2:00 Pfft you didn't read the box for the motor? Not for human or animal propulsion! In all seriousness though, recently bought this hunk of motor for my poor 1/8th Typhon.
Wth yeah I know...my 1515 only has 1 sensor port
Mind boggling 😊
Any one has a idea if its a 200 amp esc or 300
More around 350+

Max5 g2 is WAAYYY better.
