DHK MAXIMUS 1/8 Monster Truck - New Toro TS150 6S Competition ESC - How To Program

[@jessethorne2875]

First thing I changed was the steering servo to a 20kg servo response is on point now also have installed aftermarket esc like you a max8 with motor goes like stink nice vid bro keep it up peace

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Kizzel Garrett cheers brother much appreciated. RC Adviser, haha I like it.

[@hirthirthirt1693]

that tires compensate for a V8-engine sound....sounds so cool :D

[@thabiznizz]

Very nice truck for the money. You may want to go to thicker fluid in the center differential. I seen how it was unloading most of the power in the front tire when you took off.

[@michaelleone4129]

Like a frog in a sock lol🤣 classic Steve! Great video!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Michael Leone hahaha thanks

[@sharkfatrccustoms]

I bet it's the deans that are slowing it down. Try XT90/XT150's or the Traxxarse connectors. Love the sound of it though

[@luis206xs]

Hi there Steve. Hope you´re doin´fine. Well, thanks to you (moustly) since last summer i´ve bought 4 rc trucks. One of them a Maximus, in whitch i´ve put a 150 Hobbywing esc and a 20kg servo, & 3674 2250Kv Goolrc motor. It´s got tons of power but its very difficult to handle.The tire ballooning makes it very unstable... Love your work, awesome reviews.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+luis rodrigues cheers man.

[@iamptm]

It's been a while, but have you found better tires for speed? Cheers

[@stevewong4040]

So good video, hope can see you do speed test video again

[@BASSstarlet]

Toro is one (if not the best) of the best esc's. One major plus is it can use batteries that aren't in perfect condition, without triggering cut-off. Another advantage is its small size! sorry for my english

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+BASSstarlet thanks man

[@xboxice2005]

A 2300kv motor with that new esc is well in spec 👍should run a little cooler as well depending on gearing 😎😊

[@sire162]

Not that i'm bashing you. But people are reeeeeeaally starting to stretch these videos out, lmao! Now we gotta wait for another video o see it run on 6s, lmao. But but you did a very good descriptive video sooo thanks much.

[@douglasmilligan9040]

I feel like you got a lemon... I get nearly the same speed out of my stock Maximus as you did running with the 150 ESC on 6S.

[@JoaoOliveira-qz3hc]

did you bought it from Gearbest?

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Douglas Milligan yeah not sure what's going on. Maybe the Aussie version is detuned, haha

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Nader Massou yep, still needs to go faster :)

[@thevisitor6267]

Could you please let us know the motor temps on 6s? I have this truck and the speed is pretty meh once you get used to it. Though it is under geared stock.

[@iamptm]

@@TheAwflores kinda rude

[@MrMikebeben]

@@TheAwflores actually your the dumbass. Stock motor is 2260kv motor and you can safely run 6s on anything up to 2400kv. no stock 80amp esc will not handle 6s but upgrade to a 150amp esc and you’ll pull temps around 170-185 depending how hard you run. Get some more exp in the hobby before u act like a fucking dipshit

[@rcflo7300]

You dont need diffrent esc just go like 2 to 4 teeth up on the motor pinion dude

[@iamptm]

That's sweet info. Thank you.

[@jaykuptake]

I would love a follow up video with your new settings and gear. I'm looking to get a RC car list the Maximus but looking to see if it's still a good buy or if I should get something else. It looks like about a year ago this was the RC truck to have.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Hello, unfortunately I don't have this truck any more. I ran it pretty much stock. Great truck!

[@charliebeers1710]

Why would you get rid of your "favorite value basher"?

[@iamptm]

@@RCTanksTrucks247 what did you upgrade to? What happened to your Maximus?

[@iamptm]

Hey, boss, cool vid. Did you end up putting in a bigger pinion? Speed run? .... If so, can you link the vid please? Cheers, mate!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Nah, got rid of it

[@andrewap77]

I think if you up your pinion gear up 4 teeth even on 4s you will get your speed you are looking for also lower your drag brake settings the only time you should need it you are track racing.

[@cwatson42785]

I believe the drag brake is set to zero at factory settings. At least the stock sc8 120 amp was set to 0% drag brake.

[@andrewap77]

Chris Watson Yes the Factory default is 0 on all of the rc i have ever purchased.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Tank 62 sweet, thanks for the info :)

[@cwatson42785]

Tank 62 Yeah I was told it's not a good idea to run drag brake at all cause it puts added stress on the motor and drivetrain?

[@andrewap77]

Chris Watson Yes it's kind like riding around with your brake on.

That thing sounds crazy👍👍👍📹📹

6:33 do you have a spike in your reverse gas curve too? Looks like it. When I go reverse with my >Toro 150, gas spikes in the lets say 1st 10th of the gasway.

lets see the difference when you do, anyways bro keep up the good work u do. looking forward to more reviews to come

[@rcdabbler]

Thanks for showing the use of a single 4S LiPo, because I've got two single 4s packs, and was wondering if I would have to get matching 2S packs to run it, if I get one. Thinking about getting a pre-roller and putting my own system in it. Do you know if it will take a 4268 or 4274 size motor can? Thanks.

[@cwatson42785]

I got one of those hobbywing program cards too and I was a little disappointed that I could only program 5 things and not the 10-12 settings that says in the book. But I guess the rebranded hobbywing sc8 esc can only program 5 settings with the program card.

[@cwatson42785]

Luigi Bellantoni Yeah thanks luigi, I actually contacted the company and they told me the same. It was a bummer but at least I can adjust brake power, lvc and punch level. Do you know if you can manually program those other settings with the blinking light way?

[@maulog28]

Hey Steve!!! Nice 6S run buddy. By the way, what is you real car . A Suzuki of course but what model and what's the engine in it... It has twin exhausts so I'm wondering... Here in Canada where I live, this model wasn't imported. I use to have a SX4 AWD and I loved it. Was a nice small versatile car (same as a FIAT Sedici... O and I got the Maximus too... Great RC for the price. Keep on you great work buddy! You and Vas are great Aussies!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Hey man, thanks for the support. The car is a 2012 suzuki swift sport with a 1.6l 100kw 4 cylinder. The dhk cars are fantastic. Highly recommend them.

[@jermainemurda6978]

Is that the stock motor when u did this video?

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Yep, sure is

[@gonzodetroitify]

Was thinking the same thing, that means this truck really is awesomely held back by esc, shame height locks u into a few esc's only,... But which is really good 🤔🤔💥, this video tho, is really all anyone with a maximus could need, really good of you for the show 👍🏿💯💯

[@MrUriel250]

How is it going so far ? I can't decide which is the best ... JLB Cheetah, DHK Maximus, Bison V3, or ZD Racing Pirates 3. Which is the most robust ? And best parts availability ? They all cost almost the same ... I would go with the DHK but only thing that is holding me back is the top speed is lower than what they advert + plastic spur gear, like why ...

[@andrewbosman2883]

Gearbest won't ship it either. Such a great value truck and once again we get bent over in Australia.... and the distributors and hobby shops wonder why we do so much business online from overseas...

[@PaulOff-RoadDownunder]

Thanks for the input guys. It seems it's a recently implemented restriction & although I understand the protection of Aussie distributors & retailers... The price difference is simply too much. The manufacturer will lose sales, not gain. Anyway... Just thought it was odd & thanks for clarifying....I for sure wouldn't buy one locally for that sort of money.

[@insanehobbiesandrcs4606]

Do you really need a hundred and 20 amp ESC to run 6s I run 12s on my helicopters with 120 amp ESC. I'll bet you can do it with a stock ESC!

[@alfa7108]

nice vid👍. will that work on any skyrc speed controler ?

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+billy Johnson yeah I think so

[@rclover828]

U will need either a Tekin Rx8 or a Mamba Moster system to put the power down. If u buy cheap knock off stuff u get what u paid for.

[@Mxoderberg]

Chris Watson Yep they fit with the stock plastic holders with body clips. I get really good run time on those, haven't timed it but feels like a good 25 minutes at least. And I raised the stock Voltage cut off also so that's really good.
