BIG Motor Review! 1650kv, 1100kv, 800kv

[@Mr.Wednesday.]

Oh my God I can’t believe this. This was exactly what I needed to hear the exact information I needed before buying a motor. Nobody else has done this video. This was beauty man legendary. This Chanel just got top 3 status

[@InnovationRC]

Certainly glad it helped you out 😃

[@chrisjarvis83]

Yes it definitely helped me make my decision!! Thanks

[@unspecifried]

Gotta give my fav to the 1100kv hobbywing. Gave a 3800kv castle motor a go in an arrma (yes, i set it up properly) and it burnt out on a 16 tooth pinion and a 50-ish spur within a month of ownership. Tried an 1100kv hobbywing axe motor and it’s worked with no issues for 2 and a half years now. Castle is more for performance, it takes skill to work them properly. Meanwhile hobbywing is mainly reliability, but in my opinion, their motors are just plain better.

[@degaboss]

what arrma did you install the 3800kv motor in? if it was on a 3s you would have a 50 or a 57 spur, i have a 3800kv motor on a typhon and has worked great with 15/57 gearing

[@Lopez_67]

This video made my Kraton 8S EXB motor decision easy. Going with the Castle 1100kv. I'm considering a 34/47 gear ratio. What ratio would you recommended for bashing?

[@westie659]

I went with the hobbywing max5 with the spektrum 1250kv did have a 25/47 was to tall motor was getting way to hot went down to 20/47 still getting hot so went down again to 17/47 seems to be good there but still gets hot after 10-15 minutes of run time ive got no fans for the motor tho and the pinion came loose today so not sure if that was causing it to be hot didn’t notice till I got home and went over it tho

[@MajorStaticX]

I know this is an old Video, but I like to use Tekin Motors on my cars, I have never used castle, hobbywing, or spektrum. thank you for making this video

Thank you! Tekin makes some good stuff too!

[@biggnasty989]

Very informative. I like the video, it gave me all kinds of good info. I'm going to stick the 1650KV motor in my big rock6s. Gymkhana style and burning rubber sideways. That's how I drive all the damn time.

[@gaffle-411]

I have a Losi DBXLe 2.0 with BRP 7" wheels. I want to get the best long-term ESC and motor. Should I go with a Castle XLX2 + 800KV or 1100KV? Should I run a Max5 + other motor combo instead? FYI... I have the stock 13T gear but also have a 17T and an 18T gear waiting. Thanx!

[@gaffle-411]

What would you suggest for my DBXLE2.0? XLX2 ESC + latest firmware 2021 (I think I want to stick with Castle) Castle 1100KV Castle 800KV TP Power TP5870 1100KV TP Power TP5870 990KV TP Power TP5870 900KV I've got 16T, 17T and 18T pinions and will keep the stock 50T spur (I don't want to change the spur). I want much greater than stock speeds on dirt (never street) and greater torque to give me wheelie power. My current batteries are 6500mah 100C (4s x 2 = 8s). I want to stick to an 8s system and I'll be getting cooling fans for the motor. Thanx!

[@cjchannel12RC]

Cool review of big RC motors, I'm considering running the Castle MMX 8s with 1717 1,650KV Motor in my XO-1 roller project and my future Infraction as well as maybe a Sledge and i might get 1,260KV for an X-Maxx someday.

[@joshchatwin8569]

I brought the hobbywing max 5 combo with the 800kv motor for my exb kraton 1/5

[@Ferg451]

I have the traxxas 6s vxl system in my rustler 4x4 with the stock 3s motor.I run it in 3s for normal bashing but when I’m doing speed runs it works perfectly fine you just gotta make sure it doesn’t get to hit so I put dual fans on it that really keep the temp down

[@heat305rc]

the castle 2028 motor is what I would look into...great info my brotha💯💯👍👍

[@InnovationRC]

Thanks brother! Yessir!

[@stankakol5195]

I am brand new to this hobby. I enjoy your videos.

[@InnovationRC]

I appreciate that. Feel free to ask questions if need be

[@michaeldantoni4292]

What would be the best motor/ esc combo for my stock 4 tec 3.0 ? Running 3s or 6s.? Just something to drive around in the 50 to 60 mph range

[@InnovationRC]

I'd go with the 1415 2400kv if you want 3/4s. Largest 14 series motor that you can still fit in a 4tec!

[@VikingDudee]

Im fine with my 4x4 Stampede with a 2650kv motor and 11tooth pinion. Its around 35mph, I was hitting close to 60mph with the stock VXL system, but that thing ran hott! Even with a 9tooth pinion it was some where around 45mph and got toasty by the end of the pack. Good for 2s I guess, but I got so many 3s packs. With the 2650kv 3670 motor, it runs quite cool, and the wheelies thing does now is effortlessly, and temps are way better.

[@Critical-Defense]

Sounds like a good setup to kill some time.. It’ll never give the full on rush that a 1:5 or even a 1:8 scale overpowered RC can do though. Being “fine” with a Traxxas 2S-3S RTR basically means you started out at the bottom of the barrel (same place I did, Traxxas marketing is fantastic and reels in the beginners) and you are sticking to the starter truck lineup and never venturing out. I’m currently going down my list of 12 RCs (just got into the hobby in June of this year so I’m still building up the fleet) and removing the installed ESC, motor, and pinion/spur gears, whether they are RTR or installed onto roller, then stepping up the voltage to the next level. So my 3S rig will run 4S, 6S rigs will run 8S, 8S rigs will be upgraded to a Castle MMX8S or XLX2, 2S brushed get 3S brushless. Then all of them are getting a heat sink for the specific vehicle along with a motor fan and a Spektrum receiver (SR6100AT, SR6110AT, SR6200A, SR315, SR215) to link to my Spektrum DX5C transmitter, I’m never “fine” unless it’s fast enough to wreak havoc on my nerves.

Cool video man, nice to see concise information like this! Thanks!

[@InnovationRC]

[@xXYannuschXx]

Will VERY likely go with a Castle 2028 1100kv when I buy an Outcast or Kraton 8S EXB; a friend is running an RTR Outcast 8s with a 800kv 2028 and 39/39 gearing; thing gets barely warm. One thing about the Spektrum stuff: most people dont know, but the motors and ESCs is just relabeled Hobbywing stuff. So no reason to pay extra, when you can get the same thing for far less.

[@brotherskrillrc6042]

Very cool info video exactly what I was wondering, planning to get kraton exb 1/5 scale and was looking at Max5 800kv or 1100kv combo , so looks like I want the max5 1100kv for the 1/5 scale exb with 22pinion 39spur. Mainly for bashing

[@rtk6945]

Just dropped a 800 kv in my 8S Kraton. Now i may start running a 10S buttery. But will the stock esc handle it ?

[@johnyortiz8774]

I have an Arrma Fireteam which I plan on keeping stock for some time but what would you recommend as a good esc/motor combo for that vehicle? I do more off road speed running and small jumps than big jump bashing or on road speed runs. I would also prefer to keep it as a 6s vehicle as that's what I'm vested in as far as batteries go. I wouldn't mind getting an 8s capable esc but it would most likely continue to be run at 6s. Thanks for any help and great video. Much more informative than most everything else I've seen.

[@fxdwings]

Fanfreckintastic video. Thank you brosky

[@dmrar4292]

@innovation RC My first RC car is the XMAXX 8S. Which Motor and ESC is the best you recommend for bashing? I would greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you.

[@InnovationRC]

To bash? Honestly keep it stock with the stock gearing and it's already optimized form factory to be bashed. If you go a bigger motor with more torque those diffs in the x Maxx won't last long at all

[@Bobsbargainbasement]

What’s your opinion on running the exb with the 1717 and mmx8 and what would the best gearing you recommend? Good Vid , thanks

Can you run a 1250 kv spectrum with the stock esc on aarma felony?

[@richardgrantham3679]

What do you think would be the right all around set up for an 8s Xmaxx?

[@InnovationRC]

You can go with either 1100s. Honestly may prefer the 5687. Just more staple for the size. The 2028 is big for sure, but still I'd choose the 5687 over the 1100 only because of size. That castle 1100 is a big motor, not needed really for Xmaxx

[@richardgrantham3679]

Innovation RC Okay, I will go with the 5867 and max6 combo. Thanks!

[@Hankster360]

I vote the 1721 2400KV haha, update. Nah, but seriously of those I like the 1650 but it has to be geared up way too much I'd rather take the simple routhe with the 2400, glad its available now. I'd like to here more about the 1515 2200KV. Castle says its rated for 9lbs vehicle so how is it I see guys run it on the 1/7 cars?

[@onemansvideos2134]

The issue i have with the 1100kv hobbywing is it will cut the esc out if you try to run a 25/35 mod 1.5 on the xmaxx.....max6 and max5 its basically at the 200amp threshold so thats why I'm debating on swapping out for a 1/6 mmx 8s cause It has a higher amp cut off

[@InnovationRC]

I'd just go bigger esc... I never liked hobbywing escs because they are scared to push amperage. Your issue is the esc only trying to save itself. Go with a mamba monster x 8s or xlx2 and you'll see a huge difference

[@onemansvideos2134]

That's why I wish hobbywing was like castle where you can make adjustments to it....looks like castle will be king 🤴

[@adcromwell]

Mamba are power monsters but thats also why they also catch fire so often

6:40 there is no debate. Higher kV = lower internal resistance = higher efficiency. Geared for the same speed, high kV will yield longer runtime than low kV.

I'd go 800kv on that big boy. 1100kv is still ok just gear in reduction very appropriately

[@cslrclorne]

Really great video for the beginner that I am , if I want to swap out the motor and esc on my felony. Would the xlx2 and the 1100 kv work? Would I have to change any of the drive train?

[@InnovationRC]

You'll need to flip the motor mount around and get a bigger slide to fit the motor. Also, make bigger battery trays on the one battery side so it'll fit oppositely the motor. The stock tray doesn't hold much to be alone

[@massourc2908]

Which one I should buy for my traxxas xmaxx

[@InnovationRC]

Either 1100kv. The 5687 1100kv may fit better in it than the long 2028 1100kv can. If you can find a way to squeeze the castle 1100 then go for that if so

[@Average_D]

So in your opinion...if I wanted to run a mamba X8S or even an XLX2 in an XMAXX, would you recommend the 800kv or 1100kv 2028 motor? I’d ideally want to go with the XLX2 to have a little future proofing so which of the two 2028 motors would be best suited for it and what gear setup would you recommend for everyday bashing, slower sensored technical runs with the occasional top speed rips?

[@InnovationRC]

I'd go 1100. 800kv you need to gear so far up you'll actually create more load on the motor trading off its efficiency. Might as well be in gear reduction with the 1100kv while having speed over the 800kv.

[@Average_D]

@@InnovationRC I appreciate the feedback and I completely agree with your recommendation. Would you recommend going with an even higher KV setup like the 1717 1260 or 1650 motors? My goal is to have a stable setup that will give me 60-70 mph top speed with adequate torque. I want to keep the temps down and have a proper gearing setup as well. I know I’ll be limited with this setup in an xmaxx even with a wfo motor mount. Any gearing recommendations to achieve these goals?

[@shawnclark9659]

Just installed the Max5 in my Kraton 8S. Would like to change the motor. What would you suggest for a ton of power?

Either 1100kv will do great. Can't go wrong castle or hobbywing 1100. I prefer castle because it has the sensor port ready when you want to run sensored

[@edwincordero8]

What would you suggest for the 1/5 Arrma Kraton EXB 8s (2021)? Not looking for insane speeds, but low temps and runtime.

I have my mojave exb now and I stil not sure what’s it gonna be I really want to make it a beast first I thought the spektrum 160amp with 1250 kv motor but the 1100 castle motor is maybe better or the 1650 kv if I’m correct what do you suggest I want to get 100km/h but stil a lot of traction. Which esc an motor do you suggest for this setup

[@BuildaPC4life]

Get a spektrum firma 160a and a spektrum firma 780kv 56113 motor

[@ramonmartinez4856]

I'm looking to do a 6s convertion on my Traxxas Maxx 1/10. I upgraded everything already as far as widemaxx, metal axels, Reefs Servo Raw 500. JUST NOT SURE ABOUT THE ESC MOTOR combination I should go with? And gearing I'm a basher

[@scottallen6478]

Informative as always man, I got given a new HW max6 combo 1650kv, ideally should go my Kraton, what about running it in my infraction on 8s how will it perform speed wise geared appropriately?

[@InnovationRC]

Definitely a solid setup for either vehicle. Just watch your temps, once you get used to the how long it takes for temperature to rise, you may not need to check it anymore and you'll just know when to stop and cool down.

[@romeoraduu]

did castle 1100 will run cooler than 1100 hobbywing,because its bigger?

[@InnovationRC]

In theory yes it will. But it all depends on how you drive and your setup per motor.

[@boomerak4774]

I'm looking to upgrade my motor on my xrt. I have a hobbywing max 6 what motor would you recommend? Also whats the difference between sensored and sensorless motors? Which one is better

[@acerig4675]

So how do set up breaks for reverse? Mine goes from reverse straight to forward when applying break, it's horrible. I have the funny looking xlx esc and 800kv motor. Thanks for your time.

[@johannkiss6221]

I have a fg sprotline AWD. Had bevor a max5 1100kv 8s setup and now I think about max4 800kvcastle on 10s What do you recommend? And how much difference could it be?

[@jimmyrodriguez7235]

Great video. Have a question what motor is better--hobbywing 1650kv or the Spectrum 1250kv? You didn't talk about that motor

[@InnovationRC]

Consider the hobbywing 1650 almost equivalent to the castle 1650, but not sensored. Same what I stated for the castle applies

[@Mac_Daffy]

that was helpful. thanks!

[@gonzodetroitify]

So which would be the ideal bash set up for the savage flux xl 4/6s all terrains 😎😬

[@donjewell5416]

Thanks for the information. Very clearly said

[@scottw2157]

Would a 5687 work with a firma esc? Would it overheat esc, in a kraton 8s?

[@InnovationRC]

Yes it should, just gear appropriately.

[@Trumppower]

Those big Motors are so powerful they're being used in race Skateboarding making almost 60mph.

[@InnovationRC]

Yessir you are correct!

[@MrCovain]

I wish I had watched this video before buying my castle 800kv for my kraton 8s. Guess I'll get an 1100kv for my X-Maxx

[@CorvetteC6-LS2]

Why what happened not powerful?? I just order the combo xlx2+ 800kv 2028 for my outcast exb 8s my friend tell me this 800kv is a torque monster

[@MrCovain]

@Ford f150 5.4 the 800kv is more Torque but the 1100kv is faster and still has lots of Torque. Now I have the 1100kv in my X-Maxx and the 800kv in my kraton. From now on I'm buying 1100kv's for all my big rigs. I haven't had any issues with heating either.

[@mattoprc]

What would you use for a speedrun with a typhon 6s? Castle or spektrum 2050? Thanks!

[@InnovationRC]

I'd go castle 2200, I did 131 mph in limitless with it and had more in it!

[@psnavatarkingredrum]

In a drag race and 1/8 of a mile which motor will win 2050 vs 2200 ? Please give me a harness answer

[@FLG1908]

Hi there I own mamba x 6s and 2650kv motor that is design for 1/8..now I was wondering if my motor max is 60,000 rpm for 2650kv and I'm using the max lipo for that motor which is a 4s,can I use this setup for drag racing no prep?

[@GreatLakesRC]

Great video 👍 Really excited to see what the new castle 1100kv will do in the K8S. Hopefully you will do some videos with it 👌

[@InnovationRC]

Did a couple speed passes but I have some awesome plans for it very soon

[@GreatLakesRC]

@@InnovationRC Yeah man I saw the speed runs 👍 Impressive. Can't wait to see more 😃

[@chunbinba3006]

Are the connectors that connects from the motor to the ESC the same mm in the 1100kv motors?
