Awesome to see how much difference relatively small changes do 👌🏻

Dang that's really cool, there's almost no limit to them brushless. One day I hope to own my first brushless, Kool video dude

That is a mean machine and now I want one thanks for the great review

Awesome build so far though. I’m about to order the same setup. Hope my 8s will wheelie now haha. My 6s does all day but it’s not the same as the 8s

Keep it coming exo

I Can’t miss an upload.

just ordered the 800kv castle and some mod 1 large pinions 36t and 44t going to try those out

Another great vid 🤘🔥

I'm new to the channel, great video!

Proline Badlands Joe!

Interesting to know how it holds being that it doesn't have the flat spot like the shaft and the OEM gear.

Lol that motor is insane. Is there scope to run this on a pair of 6s packs?

That thing just shreds 👍👍what was the stock speeds..???

BIG TP Motor on my Xmaxx hitting 78.8MPH on "small tires :) if you want speed go at least 1200kv and a bigger motor than the castle! Heat is a non issue for me - all about the gearing. Loved the video keep em coming.

@@show2ime @Show2ime so you have the castle 800kv motor and MM8s esc with 35/35 gear hitting 85? What did you do with the different bullet sizes from the motor to the esc?

I took the TP motor off my Typhon build, all the clogging ruined the experience for me. I prefer senored castle combo myself.

What pinion would you guys put on a hobbywing max6 1650kv?

Quick question; what pinion do you recomend for an all around basher and jumper K8 with a 1340 kv Leopard motor?

Just installed a 36t pinion with the pps mount. Doesn't look like there is any more room for a larger pinion? I think I'm maxed out on the motor mount?

So I know that motor has larger bullets than the MM8s esc takes. What did you do there? I have that esc new in box but contemplating the whole set up since I'll need to change buttlet size

Cool vid,, on my k8s with stock elecs an 23t pinion an 20mil centre, am getting 49 mph, pretty stoked on performance 🤙

So what’s the point of 8s if the performance is worse and run times are less?

What spur gear did you use? I'm going with the 1100 KV Castle I know you ran that as well what did you find to be the best gearing?

Almost 53 in grass is impressively fast.

Could always run a set of redcat rampage mt tires they are big and heavy

Nice. I wonder how long will your battery last with that giant gear 🤔?

put a mamba xlx 800kv WITH 12S!!! is amazing the power

Redcat website is selling the rampage r5 1050kv motor with8mm bore for $60 try that motor out its under clearance items

Link to 40t pinion? Even the 35, please.

50t next!!!! 😂😂🔥🔥

Did it get really hot? I ran mine with a 41t pinion with leopard 1340kv and max5 esc and it got extremely hot, as well the front tires would glitch/giggle really bad when I would hit the throttle from completely stop

With that 1350kv you need to gear down to about a 32t pinion.

Hey man really love your videos! I am going to be purchasing a 780kv motor and I was just wondering what gearing I should be using. I’m going to be purchasing a spektrum 780kv motor do you know if these are any good?

Solution: get an XMaxx that goes 50 mph stock and has a good center diff and can do backflips outa the Box but I do like the Kraton 8s and I would get it if it wasn’t as expensive as the XMaxx

@stuart3712

4 жыл бұрын

K8S when it comes to top speed 100% stock, its on par to a 100% stock Xmaxx but if we talk about real world side by side speed, K8S is faster because of its handling alone. The K8S has rock solid diff's and bulkheads which is much more solid then the Xmaxx's. As far as backflips go, its a 30+lb rc with a low stance, low center of gravity so its a given its not the best at backflips stock and not everyone wants to do backflips or jump for the matter.

@StayOnIt

I have an Xmaxx and it doesn’t do 50 out of box. On my 2nd esc too, first one caught fire. Traxxas had to make upgrades for the center differentials...be cause they weren’t up to the stock task.

But by running these large pinions you may gain massive speed but don’t you sacrifice power/torque?

Curious to see how the run time and motor heat were compared to the 35 tooth. 50mph is plenty fast enough for me if it keeps the heat down and extends the run times.
