1/5 Kraton 100 Mph 2x in a ROW? XLX2 & 1100KV motor!

100+ mph TWO times in a row. By far the best motor/ ESC combo I have ever ran in my 1/5 Kraton. BEAST! insanely efficient easily able to pass 100 mph in the 33lb truck. I certainly commend Castle Creations for their hard work, it certainly pays off!

Hey man great video and content. I just picked this combo up for my K8. Was wondering what size pinion and spur you we’re running in this video.

Hello from Portugal 🇵🇹 Awesome videos as always. I was wondering if you could help me out with. I have a 1/5 buggy, Carson dirt attack brushless, what combo do you advise for speed runs on that kind of size and weight? Your XLX2 / 2028 1100KV seems to handle the juggernaut pretty well... Any advice? The buggy weighs around 8 kg. Friendly regards, didgeteria

[@InnovationRC]

Around 8kg I'd totally go 1100kv. Keep your eye on temps and it'll certainly be FAST!

[@oldgeezer6470]

What if I only want it to go about 65mph? Would this motor and esc combo be fine for the 8s Kraton and if so, what size pinion and spur would i need?

[@AutoBodyEverything]

Your still running 16 cells how much does this whole rig weigh. ? 30 lbs? I love your content!!! I have my felony that I baby but I want to get the Kraton EXB,, the 800kv motor might be kinda impractical with all the added batteries to get it to do what an 800 kv has to offer so I’m guessing the 1100kv is the way to go… I can keep it 8s OR 8 cells same thing but depends how you wire them…. HOW WOULD YOU WIRE 8 cells on a 1/5 Kraton with 1100kv motor and esc combo? Castle vs hobby wing? Can both combos handle the same wiring configuration to get the most out of 8 cells?

[@AndrewStorlie]

What size pinion/spur are you running in this... I just got my first K8 and the same xlx2 and 1100kv system. No idea what to gear it for. Im aiming about 80mph on badlands. Also, are you in the smartsense mode or just normal sensored?

[@InnovationRC]

I'd go direct drive gearing! 39/39 try that out

[@jamesrobinson4950]

What and where did you get your esc fan?

[@CaliBestEats]

Bro I gotta get the same setup!, the RC racing is big out here in California, I might make a little pocket change😉

[@InnovationRC]

Awesome! Solid setup

[@GreatLakesRC]

That's impressive! So for bashing the 1100kv motor will be better than the 800kv but would the XL2 be the way to go or the MMX8S 🤔 Castle isn't advertising the MMX8S with the 1100kv only the 800kv

[@InnovationRC]

The MMX8S will hold its own. The XLX2 will just last all day long. Mmx8s is a 1/6 esc. The XLX2 is a 1/5 scale esc so xlx2 is designed to last far longer than mmx8s

[@camroncoleman3373]

[@johnymodem1326]

Great Vid's. Above 100 MPH aerodynamics become a real issue. Tyres will become a problem past 120 MPH. Good luck :)

[@InnovationRC]

Yes sir you are more than correct. This vehicle is a big challenge to get over 106 mph

[@johnymodem1326]

@@InnovationRC Is the idea to keep the general dynamics of the 1/5 and just extreme it? Difficult to do given the general height. Basically to go faster you are pushing a brick with next to no aerodynamic assistance past the speed where you get a reasonable return on investment, so to speak! Good luck. To go faster I think you will need to lower the ground clearance and place the tyres within some form of aerodynamic assistance. Open wheel is tough. Wishing you all the best and I'm going to keep myself posted on what's going on :)

[@txccryder742]

I have a legit question and I respect everyone's own use of how they use their own RC, but please inform me what is the purpose of taking a RC that is made for bashing and turn it into a speed run vehicle? All due respect just trying to understand, heck if I get a good explanation I might try it.

[@InnovationRC]

A vehicle's purpose, prebuilt from the factory, gets full over time when everyone does the same purpose. Vehicle is amazing out of the box don't get me wrong. I like to go fast. I wanted to see if this vehicle is "capable" of speeds. Appearently it is. To achieve (only) 100 mph is a challenge. To a 1/8 speed car that's a warm up at half throttle. This definitely changes things up and hits another end of satisfactory. To see a limitless do 100 mph is officially boring at this point, because it's made to do that. Throw some spice in the soup!
