Hobbywing 1650 and WFO Motor Mount in the Xmaxx

[@johnnymckissick2735]

Blows my mind that it runs that cool. The new g2 seems to be an incredible upgrade! I may go with the 1100 vs the 800.

[@SolRayz]

Just installed the CC 1717 1260kv with the WFO mini mount. Fits in perfect with my max6. Had to replace my stock motor after some garbage motor bearings I installed seized up and fried my motor. Was pretty pissed. Just FYI do not cheap out on motor bearings people.

[@ruftime]

Nice EXO! Bare/anodized aluminum mount is the way to go.....hope WFO stays away from that insulating powder coat😎 This is the setup on my EXB along with a AGF-RC programmable 1/8 servo. Bash on!

[@smiley37greg]

I don't have alot of experience with high end electronics, but the 140amp Xerun XR8 SCT esc and 3660 motor combo and 120amp WP SCT 8 esc that I have been running have both exceeded my expectations. When I compared them to their competitors offerings with similar specs , the price difference was substantial. I am a fun loving basher , not a serious racer. So reliability and cost were my 2 primary deciding factors. I enjoy your content it comes across fair and thoughtful. Cheers 🤘

Good road speed!! I run a 30t motor spur belt drive system! Getting 57mph on sand, 63mph on sand!!

[@e.magic.7194]

This motor can take 8s? Because un The specifications puts 3-6s

[@blue222g8]

For standing backflips.. Would i be better off buying the max6 w/ 1650kv motor combo.. or buying a standard 6s xmaxx motor and the max 6?? Hope you see this piece to all bathers and racers ✌

[@davidpresutti3014]

Thanks that sounds perfect keep up all the videos we all love to see them

[@nateyzf]

Great video. I bought the 800kv setup based on your other video!

[@ExocagedRC]

nateyzf awesome. How’s it working out?

[@leecosworth]

Looks a nice set up that lads, the mount looks great, nice work 👍

[@lridebashitrc9422]

That setup looked sick. I really like the max6 and that motor. Killing it bro I wanna see that thing making some jumps. Bash on 😎😎

I need ya buddy to come find all the little parts I have lost in the yard. Cannot believe he found that gear.

No kidding, i couldn't find one in front of my house until it completely rusted and left a stain on the street. It was fate, lol

Impressive setup! Awesome vid man🤙

[@moe282]

Isn't that 1650kv only rated for 6s? I blew one up on 8s....

[@blt7582]

That's was my question, what did u blow up the esc or motor or both

[@blastbash9857]

That grass looked really thick!!!😂😂😂

[@GreatLakesRC]

Hobbywing states that this motor is 6s rated. Suprised to see it run on 8s! 😱

[@ExocagedRC]

Great Lakes RC yep a 6S motor that took 8s nicely. The 6S thing is for warranty liability.

[@restinpiecesrc5528]

Dont know if you did it, but i would fo a speed and temp comparison on 6s then 8s, find out whether or not it likes 8s more

[@ExocagedRC]

This system and this truck are long gone now.

[@restinpiecesrc5528]

Lol ahh, i just picked up this system a couple days ago, its going in my cen racing reeper, just gotta solder plugs on tomorrow

[@allennickles3970]

So I wonder how long this 1650 will last on 8s?

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Great video and great speed run

[@davidpresutti3014]

Thanks for all the info on the different hobbywing set up. What would you recommend know that you have tested all 3of them. IAM looking for a strong bashing set up.

[@ExocagedRC]

David Presutti strong basher setup would be the 800kv with WFO Mount and WFO Mod 1.5 gears. 25t pinion and 30t spur.

[@nienepro477]

Exocaged RC is that a relieable setup? Or just the most powerful setup? In my opinion The 800kv is a bit too much for the X-maxx drivetrain. If I should go for a hobbywing bigblock I would go for the 1100kv or the 1650kv just to not push it over the edge. Which motor would you recommend for offroad/sand bashing? The 1100 or the 1650? With the max6 esc.

[@jr1985ii1]

Quick question. Hopefully you see this. I put a Reefs Raw 500 in my XMaxx, it’s 25T just like the original but the spline isn’t as big around so the original servo horn doesn’t work. What would be the best replacement? Any metal replacement?

[@ExocagedRC]

The metal UDR horn fits, some locals have made a normal horn work.

[@1998gst4611]

Exocaged RC, how about a link where i can buy that Fluke infrared temp gauge?

[@SpeedSyko]

Is it just me, or all these videos with this set up don’t seem much faster than stock? You would think standing backflips and insane power? Am I wrong?

[@show2ime]

The hobbywing 1650 has less torque than the stock 1100kv that comes on it but it turns more rpms

[@blue222g8]

I want to know would you be better getting the hobby wing 1650kv combo.. or buying a standard 6s xmaxx motor and the max 6 separate?

[@SpeedSyko]

@@blue222g8 I just built a hobbywing max 5 800kv WFO D bore gears and a XLX2 belt drive 800kv. Not tested yet. I will post the XLX2 build by Sunday hopefully. Even though I think higher kv would be better. Trial and error!

[@blue222g8]

@@SpeedSyko well the only thing I can see you have to keep an eye on is the temp but my 8s motor doesn't even start to get hot its barley even warms so I'm gonna give the old 1650 a go ! Great stuff mate I cant wait to see what it does this is another rout I could possibly take !

[@SpeedSyko]

@@blue222g8 I know this is an older message, but I just came across it. I found the huge power blows up new stock tires with one trigger pull and does double standing backflips with the wheelie bar off and belted tires. With the heavy belted tires, jumping it on small ramps destroys a arms and suspension parts. FYI keeping it lighter with stock tires is were the sweet spot is on these. I didn’t want you to waste your money on a XLX2 build and be disappointed. Thanks blue!

[@LargeeeScaleLife]

So which would be the best motor choice in your opinion for a light basher nothing insane I already have a max five do you think the 1650 motor the 1100 KV motor or maybe even the castle 1717

[@ExocagedRC]

1100kv, way more durable and has good RPM

[@hellion1770]

The grass did IT in.

[@brutalseed6643]

How does this one stack up against the 5th scale motors you tested? Or better yet compared to the traxxas 6s motor? I used to run max6 on the traxxas 6s, it was a beast but it overheated like crazy on 8s.

[@ExocagedRC]

well, this was on 8s and with a large pinion in heavy grass and the temps were fine so I'd have to say this is the better way to go if you don't want to go with the big motor, I like the big motors as well and will run them in the future but I think for being competitive the reduced weight of this would be a benefit.

[@jimmyrodriguez7235]

Nice video. Can that motor take 1.5 mod gears? 15/30

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

Any other videos with the 1650kv motor? How did it hold up?

[@ExocagedRC]

yeah I put it in the UDR "Big Block UDR" so far its been a solid motor and no issues at all

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

@@ExocagedRC Hey thanks for quick reply. Did you run it long in your xmaxx? I want to upgrade but I am worried about reliability.

[@jerrygomez5798]

this combo any better than stock 1600kv motor and Max6 combo?

[@severalothers]

Running the 1650kv with the Max 6, how long did the motor last?

[@ExocagedRC]

If I recall correctly it lasted until I put it in another vehicle and over revved it on 8s and blew the magnets apart from the rotor. My fault on that.

[@severalothers]

@@ExocagedRC Thanks for the reply, I have purchased the Max 6 already but haven't the motor. I may just go with a stock Xmaxx 1275kv 8s motor. Thanks again. Love your videos.

[@andrewhannam2628]

Thank u for your videos. Ive watched them all. I just ordered the hobbywing 1650 motor hoping for standing backflips.

That may get it if geared right and it hooks up

[@blue222g8]

@@ExocagedRC Hi bud, Cool video ! Hope you see this... what would be the difference between this and the 6s xmaxx motor? Just because I don't want to pay traxxas prices if they both have the same capabilities. Thanks for the content 🙏 keep up the good work !

[@thomasdansby7344]

Nice mount!

[@scalecoastheroes]

Man I love finding the parts that fell off!!! It’s such a good feeling to know your day isn’t over yet when you find it!! Great video!

[@Bandit-Darville]

So is this motor mount mandatory for this motor? I was looking into the Max6/1650kv combo to maybe get some more speed out of the X-Maxx. Do you reckon the 46T spur with anything from 19 to 26T pinion would be do-able? I am really 'just' driving it on and offroad and try to avoid high risk jumps for now. I'd like to mess around with the gearing more, wondering if the 1650kv motor might be a bit too much to ask from such a high gearing..

[@ExocagedRC]

Bandit Darville to fit any motor other than a traxxas motor in the Xmaxx you will need a mount. Also the 1100kv is also a beast. When he adjusts the mounts for production you’ll be able to run any ratio you want. He also has mod 1.5 gears for this motor.

[@Boostedblackbird_]

Can I run the hobbywing 800kv motor or the 1100kv motor with the max6 esc?

[@ExocagedRC]

They sell the Max6 with the 1100kv but it’s pushing it IMO. so yeah but I’d go Max5

[@badlilstang]

Confused.. isn't the 1100kv the better motor?

[@ExocagedRC]

ISEE YOU depends on what you’re wanting to do with the truck. Many like the bigger 800kv more. I like the lower gearing and same top speeds of the 1100kv.

[@xsixinfantryx]

That was really thick grass 😂

[@kitchenbriks3685]

Try a castle 1512 that thing would sail

[@DSC1320]

Would you still recommend going with the 800kv motor if I'm going to be upgrading?

[@ExocagedRC]

I feel the 800kv is the best and safest bet for these trucks. 25/30 or 30/35 works well

You want your chassis to flex. You dont want your motor mount to flex
