It’s really hard to beat Hobbywing. I’ve always had great luck with their stuff

The self rigting always cracks me up. Reminds me of a poor tortoise on it's back that just lost in a mating battle, lol.

Man that’s awesome! Slap a fan on the motor your golden golden all day ripping. 💪

At last a system that keeps relatively cool, that was nice to see Joe. 👍

Oh yeah. Had to watch this again. Got one going in soon!

This will more than likely be going into my LMT roller

Your discount code still works. My esc died, and I found this video. Thanks a lot! Got the combo max 8 2250kv for $225 shipped.

Awesome. I’m super happy with this combo in everything so far

I have the same combo in my MAXX but I use the TRX-8960X motor mount so you can use the brace that comes with it to secure the motor on the back end.

Hey @pandamax. Does the motor mount from the original combo fit on these 2250kv Motor? Just ordered a Max8 G2 combo and i want to use the original fan and motor mount ( the pin system). Greetings from Austria and Happy New Year

Nice! I’m running a Max 6 and using the stock motor and stock gearing in my Maxx, definitely woke it up!

Yeah i did the MAXX 6 and made my truck insanely quick. and on 4s I want to put this motor in as well and i think ill be set for 60mph

My stock setup is just fine coming up on a yr with the V2! But I do plan on updating

I run 50/25 with Trencher LP and it runs hot, same Max8 G2 combo!

Cool, I was thinking about getting this system for my Sledge and maybe my XO-1 and future Infraction 6s v2 or getting waiting until Hobbywing releases a new Max 6 sensored with 4985 motor. My other option would be the Castle MMX 8s with 1717 1,650KV for the XO-1 and the Infraction. Keep up the good work Exo.

You should try one of these system in the hammer rey and see what happens considering the motor is very tucked away with minimal air flow in that rig

Use a thin none-shiny tape and stick it onto the motor and measure with thermometer on it, will show true temps. Measuring on shiny reflective objects with a lazer thermometer, gives inaccurate Temps.

Awesome

Any sugggestions on rear shock on v2, tried traxxas all springs for it and 50-80wt oil, diffrent rebound etc.. It still kicks up the rear of it

Nice 'Can Can' at 4:40👋👋👋 WE said for years, hobbywing is the better system. 🤷 HW is in everything nowadays! Surface vehicles, planes, helis, boats, everything. The spektrum esc's are renamed HW. 90% of all manufacturers use rebranded hobbywing.

just bought one for my kronos

Exo, this is an awesome vid. I have the max8 installed in my v2 maxx already and I’m thinking of getting the g2 2250kv motor. Are you running the stock 50k/20m/50k diff fluids?

Just got the same setup. May i ask your tune in ota. Gearing you ended up with and temp/speed with it.

I wonder how the 2500kv 4268 motor would do in the max if you gear it down!

What brand gears are you running? I tried the Traxxas steel gears with the pin on the first hole and stripped out two gears

Excuse me sir, how did you mount the esc? I’ve just ordered max8 2200 not g2 for my maxx, just wondering how you fitted yours thanks

How did u fix the ESC to the car!? Did you use the kit biadhesive inside the box?

do you think the max8 g2 2500kv would suit it as well?

how has the system held up? i want to get this system but not sure to go for the max8 or the g2 because i’ve seen some peoples g2 catch fire

Please someone help! how do i mount the hobbywing 2250 in my traxxas maxx???

I tried to do something very similar Joe, I have all the Vitavon just the same. It chewed up a Castle 1515 and fried it on 4s. Never even got to run it on 6s. I haven’t touched it since, so thank you for revisiting this. How did you get the gearing to mesh? Only reason I asking is because I couldn’t get anything smaller than a 25 or 27t pinion because the motor mount wouldn’t slide down far enough to mesh on a 46t. My only solution was a a Castle 1717 that would take it.

Hello 🖐 I recently bought a max8 g2 4278 2250kv combo, and in my combo there are no additional cables to solder on another motor, and the color of the thermal sheaths at the ends of the wires already soldered on the motor they are blue young orange not black like yours, Do you have any idea why it's like this in my house? Or if it's normal? 🤔 Thank you in anticipation! 🖐

having the vitavon gear covers does it keep the transmission clean stock it seems this truck gets a lot of dirt and rocks in the trans gears.

@@codejunki567 It's not a 60mph truck stock out of the box, you have to install optional 25/46 gearing and that's on a 2400kv motor 60mph on the street only. Don't forget Exocaged RC has the heaviest vitavon upgrades on his truck. The front and rear bulkheads are at least a few pounds of added weight, plus the other aluminum parts he has on it. He's running 24/46 with a 2250KV motor, he would probably pick up a few mph on the street so you would probably be looking at 55mph on the street. If he geared up his pinion one more tooth to the suggested Traxxas speed gearing 25/46 he would be within a few mph of 60mph. Who wants to run a monster truck with a speed setup and run it on the street only or overheat their motor/esc? 51.5mph on dirt and grass is plenty fast enough..
