them new combos are nuts. Cant wait to get one when their available again. Im gonna be running a belt drive with mine. I got a feeling i will be burning through batteries having them charged to play again and again. Cant wait.

love these overpowered rc builds!

im very happy w the max 6 esc with stock 8s motor, but if I had the money Id love to try this set up. Just upgraded my sons rustler xl5 4wd with a hobbywing max10 and motor combo. Its a brushless sensored system. Runs so smooth

Absolutely incredible vid my rc brother looks like i need to upgrade the XMAXXX now

Just what I wanted to see a 1/5 scale motor install in a stock xmaxx. Epic POWER that thing got. 👍👍

How could anyone give this a thumbs down? Overpowered Insanity is always fun to watch. Impressive.

Great video!! Love that combo. Truck is a beast now!!

That auto flip function will destroy diffs. Awesome vid! 👍🏿

Hey what front and rear diff oil would you recommend with the 800kv motor upgrade thanks

would adding faster spur gears generally destroy the electronics to the truck? i dont get why and how to prevent adding a faster spur pinion and destroy the electronics

Crazy power👍, thx for the video

Where did you get the little speedometer you had on the back of your X maxx

Kick ass!! Sounds like a skill saw or something 😂

So what do you like better? The xlx2 with 800kv or the 1100kv? I’m curious on speed and torque

I saw a video where they put the castle fan on the motor also. With a little cutting

This is badass more please more xmaxx

Not really sure but they are very close to equal even considering the stronger Max5 esc. Perhaps the castle may be a bit stronger but they are so close it’s negligible, I like the sensored operation the most.

So did that esc work well for you on the Kraton 8s too? Thanks

These are expensive upgrades, I think its about $600 in total just in upgrades. In stock form it runs well, you can change gearing to the 46t spur and get faster, for me this was worth it simply due to I don't like overheating issues that occur with stock setups, especially when pushed hard.
