For my 2wd slash I drilled a small hole in the chassis to pass a zip tie thru to t hold the esc down,btw I know it’s way faster in person then on video lol I hate that

[@sm6451]

Bashing at its finest. Good show.

[@Fordhykerjet]

Dude the reason the motor got hot in your hand was because you need load in the motor so that it doesn’t blow itself up from too high of rpm’s

[@Idklol-v3b]

Just a sheet of plastic, cut and drill holes and screw it onto the hole that the esc were mounted to, you got a flat surface to stick to

[@robertruiz5417]

Very good video keep working on your hobby very detailed information thanks for sharing with us rc hobbyists

[@RDEnduro]

You didn't mess with the settings? The controller box you can buy lets you change settings easy. Ive had a 4000kv and max10 for a few years and it still performs, cogs a bit at low speed but its sensorless.

[@christopherrice1375]

How's your Hobby Wing EZRun Max10 SCT working out for you? I've got the Hobby Wing EZRun Max10 SCT combo with the 3200kv Hobby Wing motor on my slash 4x4 and I'm loving it. I've been running it on either my 2S 7600 mah or 3S 4000 mah Traxxas LiPo batteries. I'm running a 13 tooth Robinson Racing Pinion with the stock 54 tooth spur gear and slipper clutch. I actually mounted my ESC with the battery leads facing towards the center drive shaft and I haven't had any problems. Used the flat plastic mounting plate that came with the ESC to install it in the same location where the old ESC was mounted.

[@acesrcs588]

yea mine didnt come with mounting sadly. but as far as the max 10 goes its amazing I have the 4000kv motor with Robinson racing 12th gear and Robinson racing 54t tell spur as well. and my slipper clutch is bigger its the one you get with the revo so it las longer. and I have the 3s 5000mah traxxas batterys but my max10 can do 4s so I'm looking into 4s power hobby 7600mah ones that seem nice. but yea I love it great power and reliable for a decent price.

And Anthony I would go with the 4000kv personably ,I have two max 10 3200kv combos and they’re crazy nice and VERY strong /fast , but as iv came to control them better and better I want a little more rpm ,

[@jbowman18]

@@dardenoakley8432 there's a lot of confusion on the MAX10 battery combo on here. Assuming you're talking the EZRUN 3660 SL G2 Brushless motor (or it's little brother, 3652), the 4000 and 4600kv motors are NOT 4s rated. Per Hobbywing, the 4600kv is only 2s rated and 4000kv is only 3s. Basically you risk overspeeding the motor. kv refers to RPM/V, so if you have a 4000kv motor with a 2s LiPo (nominal voltage of 7.4v), it works out to be 29,600 RPM (7.4 * 4000). Now put a 3s LiPo (11.1v) you're pushing that motor to 44,400 RPM. Put a 4s and you're hitting 59,200 RPM. That's when you start having magnets separate and gears exploding. (I used to design electric motors coupled to turbo chargers spinning up to 125,000 RPM for F1). At the end of the day, motors are dumb and are only current limited in that you can only push x amount of current until things melt. Increase the voltage, and you can pump more power at the same current (P=I*V), which in a motor's case equates to higher speed. Now all this said, you MAY get away with it if Hobbywing has a big safety factor on their design and in fact can handle 60krpm. I would air on the side of lower kv and increased gearing, while actively managing the increase in motor and ESC temps associated with it. As a general rule, I don't trust specs on Amazon, I go to the manufacturer.

[@coolbone6177]

im still trying to understand but will a EZRUN 3652 SL G2 Motors be close to a 540

[@ominousnefarious5919]

A 540 motor is a brushed motor. But technically speaking a 3650 brushless motor is the sane size physically to a brushed 540. So a 3652 is only 2mm longer than a 540 and its the same diameter as a 540.

[@jacobdiotte9150]

Quick question, im considering doing this on my stampede but theres one thing im unsure of. If I change the Esc do I need to reconnect my radio?

[@CarlosJimenez-ty9hz]

Receiver is not the esc.

[@danylgoutier9782]

My velineon vxl 3500kv motor just broke so i’m looking for a new one, I’m considering buying Ezrun. What do you recommend, just going with a new velineon or buying a ezrun motor. I couldn’t find a good comparision between Ezrun and the velineon system. Is there any difference between them?

[@acesrcs588]

velion motors are good but terrible at the same time I went through 2 of them in the span of 3 months. and if you went with hobbywing you would have to buy the combo as the motor is not compatible with the velion system. and the difference is the max 10 can do 4s @120amps and if u get the 4000k motor its much faster I recommend not going over 17tooth for general bashing for your pinion. let me know if you have any other questions.

[@ValFPV]

get a surpass hobby KK series motor, super cheap but still nice and powerful :) A 3660 would be a good upgrade compared to the stock 3650!

[@MrJoey478]

Bro go back with the Traxxas Setup. If your esc or motor has any issue call up traxxas to do a power up trade or deal thingy. I been running traxxas systems for a Lonnng time and just like other combos they had their problems but traxxas trade in's always came through. Yes there's better systems out there but traxxas are decent.

[@danylgoutier9782]

Update: I decided to go with the Ezrun anyways, I've used it for a couple of months now and i'm super happy with the performance. The motor has better handling, more power compared to the velineon vxl, and is superior in the quality of manufacturing and materials. Not to talk about the heat dissipation that's faster and more efficient. And all this for less money. I strongly recommend the Ezrun 3660SL 4000kv for the traxxas 4x4. I did have some problems running 4s on the setup, but even with 3s i'm hitting speeds close to 100kmh. Hope this information helps :-)

[@ominousnefarious5919]

The VXL system in my Stampede 4wd VXL has the RARE 3355X esc, not the 3355R most have. The motors you all have are 3657 size, not far off from a Hobbywing 3660. So no real massive torque change there. The 3s VXL 3355X & 3355R are both 200 amp constant ESCs , not 120amp.constant like a MAX 10. So the VXL 3s 3355" has a higher amp rating, no real gain there, actually a loss. The MAX 10 120a has a much higher burst amp rating but that is counted in seconds and only used if the motor calls for it, this motor in this weight of a vehicle simply will not ask for that burst rating. My Stampede and my Rustler both were set up for handling FIRST so when I changed out the Rustler's running gear for a Sidewinder 4 and a 5750kv Purple, hand wound, inrunner JET MOTOR it already has better shocks, turnbuckles, hubs and was shimmed and balanced with toe and camber set, so it NEVER FLIPPED OR ROLLED OVER! If you wanna make your Traxxas a "go fast" then pay for better handling FIRST, then stick something bigger and better than what u got stock,not something even with or less than. Like dude said,get a Surpass KK or even a 3670-3600kv HobbyStar can be had for $39 on the bay. A real budget upgrade motor would be the Trackstar 5.5t SCT , its a true 550 size motor and is only $55, it is SENSORED AND has Adjustable Timing!!!!!!! Seriously, pair that with the RARE Traxxas 3355X which as i mentioned is 200amp and SENSORED and can ONLY be found at RC MART and is only $80! You will absolutely LOVE what your truck will perform like with that setup, i know, its what i put in my LCG Slash slider and stuck foam tires on it, hits 95mph on 3s on pavement and with belted offroad tires it easily does 80mph on 3s in the dirt!!!!! I have gps AND a radar gun... so im not guessing.

[@jamesplymire5342]

That's the OLD 2-Pole VXL esc. The 3355R is the new one. New system has more torque.
