Bowhouse RC Big Bore Motor Mount in Xmaxx 8s

[@onemansvideos2134]

This will probably be the best aftermarket mount for the X-truggy

[@johnmcmurphy1007]

Thank you for this great Vid! I've got a Leopard 58113 V2 1050KV for my Traxxas X-Maxx 8S and I've just ordered this Motor Mount from Bowhouse! 😎👍

[@lilnash7]

Best motor ever, running the same one in my xmaxx for three years now absolutely Beast

[@gadgetmantwincities]

I love the proline trenchers on our xmaxx!

[@ExocagedRC]

I’ve seen them locally and they are so big and balloon so bad they just didn’t work out. I think proline has a belted trencher now but I want those Masher X tires for the DBXLE and then something for this.

[@theirishaxe9405]

I'm running a motor mount in my xmaxx that comes with a whole metal top chassis brace as well that bolts to the top of the motor mount so the motor can't bend the motor mount. Looking forward to seeing this guy though👍👍✌️

[@ExocagedRC]

That is the older Kershaw mount correct?

[@yuding237]

The bowhoyse mount, fyi, also wont bend because the motor is strapped onto the mount, and sat firmly on the bottom of the mount, and it wont move a single bit up or down

[@rezzrollinrc]

What no Vitavon 🤣😂just JOSHIN U👊🏽 luv bowhouse Rc good vid mr Exo

[@ExocagedRC]

LoL gotta change it up sometimes. I have a feeling this one will get some Vitavon soon.

[@joseCalderon1976]

I guess I'll go with this motor mount if I ever bend my WFO motor mount now that I'm getting triple backflips with my X-Maxx 🤣👍. That is my motor right there with 25/35 gearing. 56mph in dirt/grass.

[@FataL-Gr]

You can't run with more than 48 teeth 1.5 mod gears in total with this motor mount....maybe I'm wrong but this is what they are writing in their site

[@yuding237]

@@FataL-Gr yep 100% correct, i recommend going 18/29 for the gearing, leave 1 teeth extra for a bit more freedom to adjust mesh, and also its a really good qweet spot for acceleration and top speed

[@justindover8142]

Awesome video as always brother!! I love how you explain things on here!!!! Always awesome.... Always fun!!!! And always good and informative!!! Keep the awesome content coming!!!! Cant wait for your next upload!!! Oh.. I also need a stock xmaxx motor lols.. That is if you'd get rid of yours lols!! Oh yea.. Have you looked into powerhobby wheels for the xmaxx?? I'll be here waiting for your next upload..lols.. Until the next one brother

[@ExocagedRC]

Hey man. I’ve tried the PowerHobby tires and broke a belt in my other Xmaxx so I’m a bit hesitant to try again. Proline has always worked great for me. I’m not sure just yet what I’m going to do with the stock system just yet.

[@justindover8142]

@@ExocagedRC have you tried the LOUISE WHEELS??

[@ExocagedRC]

I believe those are the same as Duratrax, if so I have a set of Lockup X tires on my Outcast 8s and they do really good.

[@1521joe]

@@ExocagedRC hey bro, what size bolts you use to get the motor onto the mount? Many thanks goes out to you, subbed +liked, thankyou man

[@anitalongass4720]

Exo can you make a video explaining what pins you used to mount this? I’m confused lol

[@yuding237]

You dont use pins to mount this, you have to position the mount yourself because the motor size and motor mount is different

[@peters7413]

This is just my opinion feel free to tell me if you think I am wrong😊 This is the same question every time someone upgrade to a bigger motor, any stock X Maxx would kill you on the racetrak I think, you cannot control all the power you got now, maybe with your Bluetooth module it is possible to adjust top speed and throttle...😉 Maybe a longer wheel bar would help, that would be fun to see. I always love your videos, you are very very honest and reliable....😉 Thank's Peter Denmark

[@ExocagedRC]

Here’s the thing about that, a good driver will win over a bad driver with either truck. Stock or modded Xmaxx they do the same thing, most of it is in the driver.

[@new2rocks753]

Most X-Maxx’s will never see a track, but where you will notice a big difference is in general responsiveness when bashing, doing tricks in the air, and doing speed runs. I found that mine felt a lot more playful with an upgraded powertrain (with both the 1717 and 5687), and it was much more responsive in the air doing tricks off of jumps.

[@DoRC]

I'm pretty sure if you just go into the Traxxas app and change the model in the receiver to something other than the XMaxx that doesn't have those sensors it won't have a problem without them anymore

[@ExocagedRC]

I’ve never got the traxxas bt module. Of all the things I’ve got that hasn’t been one of them. But I like the Flysky gt5.

[@DoRC]

@@ExocagedRC ah

[@Todd_G_FPV]

U can't switch that receiver to any other model, I've tried with mine and asked traxxas. It's a safety feature just for the xmaxx to run that temp sensor apparently

[@brianargo9306]

Try them ones RC dude 81 uses Guitars or Kutares maybe, I think that's what they're called

[@kevinlhighfill]

Looking for the best motor mount for the max6 100kv combo. You have probably tried a bunch... Which is your favorite and what gearing do you find works best? Thanks! :)

[@Addicted_2RC]

I need a new heartbeat in my XMaxx as well. Stock system has lasted almost 20 packs 😳but it’s time for an upgrade!!!! 👍👍 Not sure what to go with yet but this setup runs good. I’m waiting on the Masher X tires as well. They look very promising given the lighter weight. I agree I’m not looking to win a speed contest with my XMaxx but I do want instant power from a big can in it for air control. So the Max 5, do you think it’s necessary with the 1100kv or could you run the max 6? Great video the low fast flip was awesome. Can it do standing backflips on concrete? 👊👊👍👍

[@runngunrc1991]

1100kv amp Hogg Tons of fun I’d suggest Fans my man .

[@runngunrc1991]

Oh yes Max 5 that 1100kv can get 200 + amps Max 6 I think 160 amps

[@Addicted_2RC]

@@runngunrc1991 already have 5 sets of the newer power hobby 3s twister fans. I have a set for my XMaxx setup just waiting. They blow serious air!!! Speed run test they pass with flying colors. Next test is to see how bash proof the are. I get the 200 amp vs 160 amp i in have max 5 and 780kv in my Kraton EXB. In that I feel it needs that setup because it’s so heavy. Not sure if I want a cleaner XMaxx build where the Max 6 just drops in place with a 1650kv

[@ExocagedRC]

Although HW sells the Max6 combo with the 1100, the Max6 is a really good esc but I believe the Max5 just runs it a bit better. That big 1100 has to be maxing out the Max6 I’d think.

[@donniemarks94]

You must bash really hard

[@achraff9748]

Very Very nice 💪👍👍💯

[@nolacross704]

How do you adjust gear mesh

[@jhawk1985]

Whats up rc brothers

[@CM-ig2pf]

I’ve had my new xmaxx 3 weeks and had to change the steering servo already took a left hand turn and never straightened back out! Kinda disappointed it didn’t last a little bit longer! I suppose it won’t be too long before I have to change the rest of the electronics!

[@ExocagedRC]

Well the motor is good but keep a check on the bearings. I had the same issue with this orange Xmaxx but I replaced the gears and it’s been fine ever since.

[@abdulrhmanalhelabi3960]

How you adjust max5

[@moto.bushrider7215]

Have you tried Louise uphill? I’ve got them on my xmaxx and can’t fault them.

[@ExocagedRC]

That’s also Duratrax right?

[@Madone726]

Yeah, same line of tires, just different brand name

[@GreatLakesRC]

Really like the look of that motor mount 👍 Are you able to mesh anything higher? I'm assuming that was with a 54t spur correct?

[@new2rocks753]

Our mount support all of the stock gear combinations shown in the owner's manual. He was running a 46T spur with the 26T pinion. We will be releasing risers that will support taller gearing options for those who want even more speed. :-P

[@GreatLakesRC]

@@new2rocks753 Nice 👍 Thanks for the clarification

[@yuding237]

@@new2rocks753 hi may i know where the 2 metal tapes are supposed to be applued when im using a hobbywing 5687 motor, and also am i supposed to apply them stacked together or if im even supposed to install both? Thanks

[@HighVoltageRC3080]

does the stock gear cover fit? The instructions say to reinstall it and I was curious how well it fits with this mount.

[@ExocagedRC]

Hmm. Well it may fit, I didn’t even try.

[@HighVoltageRC3080]

@@ExocagedRC I'm curious how well it would fit.. I'm used to just not running one so its not a huge deal to me but it would be a cool feature if it does fit fairly well...

What speed did you get 26 pinion gear

[@Houleigan]

I need a motor mount, I keep killing pinion and spur gears. Too bad the Bowhouse one is "Unavailable"

[@new2rocks753]

Ooops…fixed now! :-)

[@jaycevessier7554]

Definitly needs some belted tires now

[@epicdemic215]

Will the XO-1 1650 motor fit in this motor mount?? 1717

[@2112inuyasha]

you should try a 70 120 size motor in one of your cars

[@flexfitfox117]

Where did u get esc mount ?

[@joelasher6281]

Trying to not run fans myself. Have same combo with a 30t pinion 46t spur. Probably gonna be too hot. Would I be best reducing pinion or going to a 54t spur? And keeping my 30t saga pinion?

How are your temps? I was thinking of doing this gearing

Try duratrax belted tires before you go right to proline. The duratrax are half the weight of the prolines your driveshafts and spur gears will thank you

How would you compare this to the wfo mount ?

The WFO mount is more versatile for bigger motors and bigger pinions.

[@jamesflory159]

Can you run this motor with the Max6?

Yeah. Hobbywing sells them as a combo.

Is there a reason you don’t run mod 1.5 gears?

They run well but on camera that are insanely loud. Plus I usually have really good luck with quality steel mod1 gears in this truck.

Hey how much does battery life suffer from this mod?

[@new2rocks753]

Battery life will depend on which motor you choose and your gearing. Battery life with 2 of our our Helios 4S 8000 100C packs is excellent even with the 5687 and 46/26 gearing.
