That Max5 is going to be crazy. The Kraton looks sick

[@ExocagedRC]

Thanks man!

[@Addicted_2RC]

I asked my local shop to bring one of these in last week for me. I’m really hoping it’s there today. This looks like a great upgrade over the V1 Max 5!!! I still can’t believe they made the Max 5 12s capable and 250 continuous amps! Great detailed review Joe. I can’t wait to see this running! That Kraton is going to be crazy!!! 👊👊👍👍

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah man I’m looking forward to running it.

[@Addicted_2RC]

@@ExocagedRCI’m sure you are the Kraton looks like a work of art🤩 The machining of all of those parts 🤯 I can’t wait to see that build completed 👊👊👍👍

I've been running the 56118 1100kv on the max6 g2 with no problems so far in my Kraton 8s

[@odaytim8321]

Thank you as always for your content . I ordered a max 4 and then the max 5G2 due too the $$ and size for weight saving in my K8S

[@mikerr5150]

Exo..as always your nailing it with the content. I can't wait to see it in the k8s as I may be putting that in my k8s depending on your test.

[@ExocagedRC]

The issue with a stock K8s could be that added motor length. Not sure yet.

[@paulrakis]

Wow those max 5 G2 look beautiful. I sold my new max 5 G1 and 1100KV to get this stuff. Yeah good luck with that 800KV I hope it fits in the kraton well 👍. Try the 1100KV first I know they fit much better and those really need 1100KV from my experience. But yeah you got more wight in her so I get it.

[@rattlecanonlexan836]

This should be a great set up!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@brentwhaley4852]

I’m putting one in my scx6 with the 650kv. Just waiting for it to come in to see what all needs to be done

I just bought the older one... I mean it's sweet. But clearly I want this now. And I guess something to put it in.

Just bought the 1100kv Combo and hope to try 800kv at a later date on my outcast 8s

Great video what did the max 5 g2 punch setting come on punch 5?

[@ryanrodriguez70]

I’m like the only person that had two new g2 catch on fire in my Kratin 6s. Hobby wing replaced the first one and then that one caught on fire. Idkn why I’m having such bad luck with the g2 esc

Could you use this in infraction for speed runs

So the max5 and the 800kv motors does 12s? I thought it would only do 8s? I’m looking for what to instal for my Losi 5t conversion.

[@gsxrfun7774]

Quick ? Buddy I’m running an hobbywing 800kv sensor less with a max 5. I’m thinking about grabbing this new max 5 g2 I wonder if I’ll noticed a difference or not vs the older max 5 you think?

I’m looking at building at 5ive T 2.0 (mainly 8s) will run a lot of 12 also though. Looking to achieve at least 75mph. Is this the way to go or should I go a different direction?

Man the Max4 is a monster beast! It’s hard to fit some things.

P.s. just bought max5 through the affiliate link. Which is the same way i bought the max 4

[@RobcadRadDad]

Which motors would you recommend for the Xmaxx and Kraton 8s? I was thinking 800kv but everyone seems to go with 1100 for speed? I s the 800kv not fast enough?

Can i drop this thing in on my dbxle 2.0 without any upgrades?

Exo how do you like the new hobby wing g2

[@AndrewSury]

Thanks, Joe, I needed that. I have a Max4/560kv in my Gravedigger, a Max5/800kv in my MTXL Gravedigger LCG, and 8 other Max5/800s in various Kratons, Xmaxxes, XRTs, and Outcasts. Now doing a Outcast EXB 1/2 price beater. I have an XLX2 and a Castle sensored 800. If you were me , would you hold out for a Max5 G2? Given I have quite a few CNHL 9500s 6s lunkers in the gun safe.

[@johnnysrcchannel7472]

What are you running in your MTXL 8s or 12s?

[@buffernickel]

Just sold my max5 g2/1100kv for $300. I wasn’t very happy with it

[@johnong8697]

Hi, just wondering whether it's possible to see the internals of the new 56118 motor? I've order inadvertently the new motor not realising it won't fit in my Kraton 8S and have a crazy idea of somehow using the bell end of the 56113 motor and making it shorter. Unfortunately I don't have the funds to buy a Vitavon chassis and I'm left in a bit of a dilemma.

[@ExocagedRC]

Well they usually use all the space in them. You're wanting to make it fit. I currently have it in the Xmaxx right now.

[@johnong8697]

@ExocagedRC I have read on the M2C website that they're currently working on a chassis that will accommodate the new G2 range of motors. Maybe, during the interim, I'll have to settle for a previous generation motor.

[@Clayton_B]

Let me know how that set up is, I was looking at one for my tekno sct

[@ExocagedRC]

This is too big. You’d want the Max8G2 for that

[@danted1329]

We need m2c create a longer chassis for kraton. That 12s motor is way too long for Kraton 8S

[@ZSMracing]

Could you show us if it fits a kraton 8s , I’m putting it in that or a limitless I want something 12s

[@ExocagedRC]

I can check with my Outcast but even that has an M2c chassis. It’s in my K8s but it’s a whole Different setup.

[@ZSMracing]

@@ExocagedRC I would appreciate it but if it’s a ton of work don’t worry about it it’s gonna go in something no matter what, I understand the differences in those set up’s too though

[@TheParkingLotGarage]

@@ExocagedRCI can confirm that it does not fit in my outcast 8s, unfortunately. Even the older motor (113mm long) just barely fits with minor sanding. The new G2 motor is 119.2mm for all 3 Kv options and there’s no way to clear the steering linkage unfortunately.

[@TheParkingLotGarage]

UPDATE: M2C just barely released a new bell crank so that you can fit these new g2 motors is all arrma 8s

Hi, will old1100 kv engine fits with new max5 G2? Regards

[@jackboutcher68]

sensored is the main thing

@@ExocagedRC the 1100 G2 is quite a bit longer than the original 1100... So is this going to be a lot faster? A video comparing the two systems might be a good thing?

I find it really odd how they made all the motor options too ling for the Arrma 8s cars...

[@TheParkingLotGarage]

Agreed, seems like they would have thought about all those sales before designing the new version. That said, M2C just released (literally today) a new bell crank that allows this motor to fit in all arrma 8s! Still sucks you can’t fit it without modification though
