Kevin Talbot Buddy...I'm just not a Hobbywing fan. To me , it's reverse engineered asian stuff. I've had Castle last me over 10 years , so that what I run. Almost two years ago I bought a Hobbywing esc for my crawler...had it in there for just a few minutes and pulled it. It just didn't have the control of my Castle/BLE Pro esc's.

Fábio Castro I understand the budget thing but in electronic's you get what you pay for. I had a first-generation MMP 3s and it last over 10 years....after that is started puffing batterys but it still worked. That's 10+ years of water , mud , snow and 10+ foot drop-offs. I've bought Holmes/Castle since with no problems. Brake that down over 10 years and the cost is minimal. Plus , i'd rather support an American company.

Man I wish I could, “just ask 8s Steve” 😂😂😂 great vid kev I love watching you work on your rc cars because when you put something on it you explain why you are doing and and what it does and what is the best one to get and you give a true review

Thanks Kev! i fix my max5/ Leopard 1350 combo 8s broplem, just soldering new motor connectors, and remove wire adaptors motor/ESC. it works 6s fine, 8s make few cut offs before runs ok

Awesome vid. Glad you got the kinks worked out and look forward to seeing that beast bash again

Hey Kevin I have had this issue happen a few times. Disable your low voltage detection. Seems to fault often. Circuit history so you have to use your head and replace batteries before cells get too low.

I figured out how they want you to program the esc. After turning on the esc and holding the set button, and the red led starts flashing, release the set button. Now push the set button where the transmitter is at neutral, this sets the neutral point. Then press the set button while holding full throttle, this sets the full throttle point. Finally, press the set button while holding full reverse/brake, this sets the reverse/brake point. If this is too confusing, let me know, this hobby is all about putting a huge smile on your face and helping fellow bashers or racers out. Feel free to share with anyone who is confused on how to program hobbywing esc units.

Put the link for the bits please

Dear Kevin, i love your vids i just started watching last week and I’m hooked. I doubt you will see this but, i have a car recommendation for you. It is a 1/10 scale monster truck it is called the pro line pro mt 4x4 it is a roller but it comes stock with badlands and a pro line body. I think you will like this truck because you can fit a 1/8 scale motor in it.

I have a drone that’s been experiencing pretty much the same problem. It would start to work then one ESC would cut out under heavy load. If I put pressure near the bad ESC, then the problem would stop. After reading your description, I’m thinking that one of the the solder joints to the ESC is weak. Tanks for the tip.

Got to give you props you make sum of the best videos out not only do u bash the crap out of all your trucks you show new people to the hobby how to fix and set up their vehicles

Agreed! I need a bigger work bench haha!! Great content as usual 👍

Glad I watched. My stock esc is acting goofy. Was giving me a low voltage light. Batteries were fresh. Checked the cells and all look decent. I was torn between the max5 and max6

I had the same problem with my Max5, I added a glitch buster and a rebind of my system and it fixed the issue. $7.00 US.

Over a year in my max6 finally and literally went up in a ball of smoke..... best investment I got for my xmaxx I think

Great video👍🏼👍🏼.I never had any problems with hobbywing esc. But I have sent 3 castle esc back for warranty , do to burning up and malfunction.

Hi kev, watched so many of your videos, you've been a great help and mentor. Im a fairly new subscriber and RC hobbyist basher. I've just upgraded my new HSP 1/10 Brontosaurus to brushless. I'd like to ask what amp ESC I'd need to run a 6s LiPo? I'm running a Etronix photon 2.1 2950kv brushless motor and came with a 45a. Runs a 3s Lipo 5000mah but iwant to run 6s? I doubt a max 6 will fit without changing the motor I just bought.

That esc is a beast last 2 years that’s epic. My slash ultimate velinion esc lasted 5 months. I think it got water damage cause I used to blast it with water and then when it heated up steam would come out.

so fun joke - Kevin ''so rub it down the tip like this''

Hey Kev, any chance you’ll be doing much with the Hyper VS? It looks awesome but it seems to rarely be used? I have a bit of cash sitting there for the next car, so want to pick carefully, and that one is in the line up. Thanks

did you think that one of the wires is lose on the switch and when you accelerate hard and break hard it moves it out and in

4 impact drivers? Great video :)

I know this was 4 years ago but I fixed this problem on mine with a new switch! Solder a new one on.

Looked like a Brown-out on the BEC, you try running the old ESC with an external BEC?

Hey kev if the Traxxas constant velocity drive shafts you put on the slash 4x4 don’t work, you can get the Mip X duty ones the only thing you have to do is clean them every once and while because they will rust but they are awesome, mine for my Slash 4x4 are supposed to be here today so I’ll let you know how they fit 👍🏻

Hey Kev nice vid. Very informative about esc diagnostics. Thanks. What do you make of the bitcoin dropping today?

Are you going to try to warranty that old Max6, or do you just decide it's not worth your time chasing warranties or discounts for the replacement?

Did you check the lipo cut off and where it is set ? Ive also had issues with escs doing that of the power switch is funky dust and dirt eventually gets in and wears the switch contacts .

you should do a dissassembly video of the broken max 6 esc

How's the LVC setup? Does it turn off when the voltage is low or just slows down but allows the lipo to drain.

Hey Kevin I know I’m a little late seeing you did this video over a year ago but what are your thoughts on the Castle mamba XLX esc? I just got one for my X-Maxx and was wondering if all the fuss was worth to mount it in? I like bashing more than speed and I know the max 6 is waterproof unlike the Castle Mamba XLX

Was wondering what other bodies from different manufacturer that can be fitted in the xmaxx with little or no modification at all...

Get the rustler off the shelf and go bash it! ( when the weather is better👍)

Hi kev,I am buying a new traxxas xmaxx and I want the best performance and upgrades for my truck. Now I have watched all your videos pretty much hahah . Why do you put the max 6 ESC on every truck? Does it give you better performance? Why is it better then the stock ESC?I also want the best speed so what gear ratio is the best for speed and off roading. I just want to have a beast . If there is something else I m missing to make my truck a beast please share.

Happened to my esc today. Max8 would go then quit. You could hear it beeping once it lost power😢

Not sure if your using a cap pack or not but i would think your using more power than what your lipo can support at once?

Great advice because I just blew my Traxxas 8's ESC tonight I think. it has the temp light on and the motor has nothing was running in snow max 6 here we come

Looks like I’m definately getting a max 6 for my maxx

Works great. 2250kv motor from hobbywing too. Perfect..run all day stays below 120. When it's 90f out!

I have this problem on my hobbywing max 6 of not calibrating on my Xmaxx 8s, do I need to buy the programming for the esc to calibrate

I find that the QS8 plugs work better. xt60 rated at 60amps and the xt90 are rated at 90 amps the max 6 draws 200amps max 5 150 amps the qs8 plugs are rated at 300amps.

Did you re-use the middle wire that connects the two batteries?

Have you ever soildered connectors on the esc on backwards??? I sure have!!!! It wasn’t pretty, long story short, it blew up. Whooooops!!!!

why use hot glue when it could just re-melt under the extreme heat? or block air flow to cool the major components?

I blew the bec in a max 5 within 6 months all I had changed was the bec voltage to 7.4 and after getting a new max 5 then the motor went within a week

Should try like a castle set up

Hey Kevin do you still use the xt-90s what’s your opinion on the ec5 connectors compared to xt90?

Same thing mine did,, replaced with Max5

I dont know what dose mean did esc cut the voltage in 3.4 or 3.7.. I lost tow battery and got puffy. Waiting ur reply brother

im wanting to get a xmaxx, is there any reason not to run it stock or will it catch fire or some shit

Try putting an extra set of capacitors on the battery leads

Hi guys, I’m trying to find out how long the receiver cable is on a HW max 6 ESC? Can’t find that measurement anywhere online. Cheers

Going on 3 years with my maxx 6 no issues hobbywing making great esc....

Why havent you upgraded the motor to a hobbywing motor to go with the hobbywing esc?

Mine keeps cutting out, no throttle or steering. But fan has power. Then it all of a sudden goes again. Any clue what the problem is?

Iv got the max 6 in my kraton 6s and it’s just randomly died on me, flashing red light, no power to motor or servo, going to have a look at it and see if I have the same issue, ordered the BLX185 for it as recommended for reliability reasons so hopefully I can get the max 6 to work and keep the BLX185 as spare

Hey Kev , where is the link for those tips? (HEX)

I wonder if the capacitors were loose. The max esc rely on those fat capacitors.

Can't be bad as Castle Mamba Monster series.I bought a Mamba Monster 2 and Mamba Monster x esc and motor combos.I used the Mamba Monster 2 and it failed after a month,then I used the Mamba Monster x and it failed after a week.Very bad experience with Castle ESCs.The 2200kv motors are reliable but Castle ESCs although very powerful are very failure prone.

Kev put new thermal paste in the esc

Kev! Can you still post the link to the hex tools?

eh so pull the case off the esc n check the motor wire solder joints

What are the best connecters

Just the tip? 😂🤔

This happens to my castle side winder 3 esc

Also maybe the capacitors the have lost there ability to divvy out power correctly, I've had the same issue with an rtr hobbywing 80 amp esc and being the need i am I did replace the esc, but I also pulled out the old capacitors the built-in and sourced new ones on eBay.. Bam presto it works.. Thought I'd share my 2 cents for just the tip
