Sorry for the late comment but what would be the difference if i would choose the 800kv option instead? Like what would change compared to the 1100kv that you show here?

[@noudvanysacker8026]

thats my question to, im debating between the 1100kv and the 800kv but i dont know wich one to choose

[@Collyne07]

The answer you’re looking for is torque. The 800kv motor is purpose built for 1:5 scale, but you have the option of putting it in the xmaxx which is closer to 1:6 scale - they will both “move out” insanely quick. The lower the “Kv” rating the more torque the motor has. Which means that it requires more skill with throttle and steering inputs. Hope this helps.

[@liamquinlan9445]

This is a little over a year old. And you have videos with various other motors in your X-Maxx over time also. I just did a 980KV setup in mine, with a Max 6 ESC. So far, the power is great - however I am having some heat and power cutting issues at WOT. Which setup have you settled on was the best for your X-Maxx?

980kv is too much for the MAx 6. The lowest you can go with the Max 6 is 1100kv. That's what I'm going to try out. The 1100kv 8mm hobbywing motor.

[@kanakamaoli5861]

@@ExocagedRC Thank you 👍🏽

[@sensi42000]

Ok,so I need some help understanding this as I want to get an 1100kv motor too. The 8s speed gearing is 18/46(mod 1) to achieve a theoretical 50+mph. I use a gearing calculator for the xmaxx and mini max and it has been spot on, it guesses the "18/46" to go 49.19 mph. But when I calculate your gearing 25/35 mod1.5 (when translated to mod 1 is equivalent to 38/54) it says you should be going 76mph(all numbers given 8s packs at peak 33.6v)! When I first thought this one out I was going to use a 22/46 mod1 which calculated to be about 52mph. Where did I go wrong as this is the only car out of about 30 I have used this on and it has always worked!?!?

[@ExocagedRC]

You’re not wrong at all on that. The thing is rolling resistance, grass and wind plus when the front comes up the center diff gives a bit and it runs slower. The biggest gains from this is raw power. Backflips and just a more powerful fun factor.

[@ExocagedRC]

By the way GREAT question and comment! Hope you see the answer on this.

Martell Francis runtime is pretty good, as you mentioned battery mah makes the difference. I’d guess 20 minutes or so bashing around with 5000mah batteries. If the 1275 Is doing you fine just stay with that. Unless you just really want a new motor. Keep in mine the 1100 is a bit lower kv so you may need to gear up a bit with a bigger pinion.

I’ve installed this exact 1100kv motor with the max5 esc. I drive 35t mod 1 pinion and 50t hardened spur gear. This setup eats diff gears (#7791 and #7792) I have had two sets of stock rear diff demolished within one battery pack. Punch level is set on 1 and I drive very carefully. The traxxas x-maxx diffs are not made for this kind of power. I now use hardened diff pinion and crown wheel. But how is your experience with the stock diffs and this setup?

[@ExocagedRC]

Niene Pro wow I’ve not had those issues. Mine is also set on 1 punch now and the stock 8s Diff gears have done fine except for one really stupid short landing full throttle. That killed the internal spider gears but the ring and pinion survived. Broken a few drive cups like most anyone. Right now this truck has a 800kv HW motor with a 43t pinion and a 54t plastic spur. Sounds crazy but so far it’s living and also way quieter than the metal mod 1.5 gears.

My spider gears are fine, but the pinion and the ring are stripped everytime. And I do not accelarate full throttle, very carefull on the throttle and just driving on grass and cracked shells.

@@ExocagedRC Exactly what the shopkeeper told me too. I got my green X-Maxx last saturday and i've been having a blast with it since then. The following Sunday i was messing around with the bluetooth module only to find it was still in training mode.. So i set off to the woods for some dust cloud creating and on the way there disabled the training mode on a parking lot. Well, long story short, it came skidding by me on its roof when i tried to give it full throttle to see what's what. I quickly put it back in training mode after that and had a blast in the woods, in training mode. The thing is a beast and it's still on the stock gearing. I can throw in the 46T spur and still have a 19T, 22T and 25T pinion to mess around with. I crashed it front right into a tree today though (off training mode..) so i will be shopping for a couple of parts tomorrow. Not to bad really to be honest; It was a pretty hard crash and the total damage is 25 bucks, including that one screw it lost somewhere. Will definitely find a better viewing point in the future when i'm going to run there again ^^

So I have a max6 put a 1100kv to it on 8s with 25/35 mod 1.5 but the esc is going into thermal shut down within 5-10 minutes not running that hard. Would this be expected or do I need a max5?

[@markusmoser7703]

Did have the exact same thermal problems with the same setup during my first run today. Could you find a solution for this in the meanwhile?

[@MrSteveESQ]

That's hot!

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah a bit warm

[@tomlucasrccrawlers9108]

5687 is the size , right. That's a huge motor. I'd put a couple of fans on there like your buddy recommended. I haven’t had much respect for companies like Hobbywing because there's alot of reverse engineered technology taken from Tekin and Castle and Holmes-Hobbies(as I say this two additional servo's hit the market that are took'n from the direct power SHV500 servo). But in the last year or two it seems they have really been trying to distance themselves from that stuff and really "upped" their game. The 1/8th Holmes-Hobbies 4274S Puller Pro is the biggest motor I have at the moment....it has a 1/6th size rotor/magnet. I put it in my TRX4 so it'll never see its full potential. But HEY!!...it I ever want to go 50+ in my TRX4 , all I'd have to is gear-up and throw in a 5 or 6s.

[@ExocagedRC]

yeah it seems there are an unusually high amount of rebrands and and knockoffs as of late, I'm pretty sure the JX46kg servo I have are the same as the G13 which as I've been told is a rebrand of the Holmes SHV. Maybe I should do some servo teardown videos and get a look at whats inside them. I would hope that Hobbywing is big enough now to not need to rebrand anything, hopefully this isn't the case with the new motors. I can tell your 100% for sure the new 800kv is not a rebrand of the castle....yes a teardown video of them is in the works.

[@tomlucasrccrawlers9108]

@@ExocagedRC That would be cool to see.

[@outkast187]

Holmes is a rebrand itself. Hobbywing is superior to tekin and castle. If you doubt it...run each a year and compare. Hw will be sportless inside, tekin will need 4 rotors. Hw is the king.

[@tomlucasrccrawlers9108]

@@outkast187 You do know that 90% of Holmes motors are built and handwound and assembled "in house"...brushed and brushless motors. The cheap closed-bell motors are built out of USA but built to John Holmes specs. The only thing that would be considered a rebrand would be the BR-XL...it's essentially an old Mamba Max Pro 6s. John puts his little tweaks on it , of course. Hobbywing is a decent company but most their tech is reverse engineered China stuff. It's old tech. Holmes motors , especially the Puller Pro, Revolver, TorqueMaster Pro, TorqueMaster Magnum and Crawlmaster Pro motors are THE top quality/power/torque and smoothness in the world. Castle and Tekin motors are about equal and a step down. Hobbywing isn't at the bottom of the spectrum but are below Holmes-Hobbies, Castle and Tekin...not only in quality but in power/torque. You can be a huge fan of Hobbywing(lots are because of affordability) , that's fine but facts are facts.

Hi All - I’m working on an outboard boat motor where the manufacturer recommends a Turingy 3948/4 1100KV brushless that would fit under the cowl. The motor is from China - virus - can’t get it anymore. Can someone please suggest a replacement with low end speed for scale like cruise speed on a 37 inch Sport Fisherman boat - I’m fitting it with two outboards. Not looking for a high end RPM motor. Much Appreciated !

Guys hobbywing 1100kv+ max6 or mamba xlx2+ 1100 castle ???

[@timwilliams9865]

Want one

[@belkey3]

Thanks for testing both those motors so quick 56 on grass with the heavy MX43’s is impressive I still can’t decide between 1650 or the 1100 I run a max 6 with my original 1600 I did the upgrade kit when it came out I love my 1600 it’ll run with anything if I gear it tall enough lol I just want a 50mph basher that doesn’t get hot mines in thermal mode after 12 minutes in the summer no mater what ratio I’m running lol it’d be awesome to see you test the 1650 on 8S it’s fun bending the rules lol 😆

[@ExocagedRC]

ok if heat is an issue and you want a solid 8s 50mph truck you gotta go with the big 800kv, they simply run harder and stay cooler than any other motor out there. You can pick up a fan from Sean Larmond if you want and a mod 1.5 gearset from B&M RC Racing, I'd recommend going with the 30/35 ratio I tested with the 800kv. Runs great and doesn't cause many issues. I have a 1750kv sitting here waiting for the mount from B&M to get here, its only rated to 6s so 8s may be an issue, but yes I will 8s it for sure.

[@kingquad4549]

U over heated the 1100 kv or your 1600kv

[@stephengrinaker5085]

anyone run this motor with a max 6 esc? how did it do and what gearing you running

[@ExocagedRC]

I’ll be shooting video of it with the max 6 this Tuesday and hopefully have the video up Wednesday. I’m pretty sure it will work but it will be at the esc’s max.

[@onemansvideos2134]

Did you ever do that...Im looking to get this motor but I have a max 6 also and I was wondering about it myself

What was the lowest 1.5 mod pinion you can put before the motor hits the chassis? It's like 20 to 22 maybe?

I think lower actually

Can i use a 33 t pinion and 46t spur with this 1100kv hw motor and your combo of 25/35 seems really high for the kv rating is that correct if thats right im hoping the 33t 46 will get me close If it fits with the mount
