Gotta give my fav to the 1100kv hobbywing. Gave a 3800kv castle motor a go in an arrma (yes, i set it up properly) and it burnt out on a 16 tooth pinion and a 50-ish spur within a month of ownership. Tried an 1100kv hobbywing axe motor and it’s worked with no issues for 2 and a half years now. Castle is more for performance, it takes skill to work them properly. Meanwhile hobbywing is mainly reliability, but in my opinion, their motors are just plain better.
@degaboss Жыл бұрын
what arrma did you install the 3800kv motor in? if it was on a 3s you would have a 50 or a 57 spur, i have a 3800kv motor on a typhon and has worked great with 15/57 gearing

Im fine with my 4x4 Stampede with a 2650kv motor and 11tooth pinion. Its around 35mph, I was hitting close to 60mph with the stock VXL system, but that thing ran hott! Even with a 9tooth pinion it was some where around 45mph and got toasty by the end of the pack. Good for 2s I guess, but I got so many 3s packs. With the 2650kv 3670 motor, it runs quite cool, and the wheelies thing does now is effortlessly, and temps are way better.
@Critical-Defense3 жыл бұрын
Sounds like a good setup to kill some time.. It’ll never give the full on rush that a 1:5 or even a 1:8 scale overpowered RC can do though. Being “fine” with a Traxxas 2S-3S RTR basically means you started out at the bottom of the barrel (same place I did, Traxxas marketing is fantastic and reels in the beginners) and you are sticking to the starter truck lineup and never venturing out. I’m currently going down my list of 12 RCs (just got into the hobby in June of this year so I’m still building up the fleet) and removing the installed ESC, motor, and pinion/spur gears, whether they are RTR or installed onto roller, then stepping up the voltage to the next level. So my 3S rig will run 4S, 6S rigs will run 8S, 8S rigs will be upgraded to a Castle MMX8S or XLX2, 2S brushed get 3S brushless. Then all of them are getting a heat sink for the specific vehicle along with a motor fan and a Spektrum receiver (SR6100AT, SR6110AT, SR6200A, SR315, SR215) to link to my Spektrum DX5C transmitter, I’m never “fine” unless it’s fast enough to wreak havoc on my nerves.

@InnovationRC4 жыл бұрын
What's up! Thank you for the love so I'll show you some back. I will be blunt. You CANT go wrong with either 1100kv or 800kv. Why 800kv is used more is because it's been out way before the castle 1100 has been. The 300kv difference makes up for a lot of speed lost in the 800kv. If you gear somewhat normally you'll be golden. More torque and cooler temps than the stock motor if you go with the 1100kv. You don't need to gear to the moon to compensate like in the 800kv. Plus, 1100s gearing will be in reduction thus amplifying torque rather than the 800kv being in almost overdrive to get speed back. But the 800kv can has more torque to begin with. It honestly pans out either way. I personally like to be in gear reduction for more torque in the transmission rather than relying on motor torque. Can go back and fourth all day. What motor is better? Depends on the batteries 😉

The review of the 1100kv hobbywing in a 30+lb vehicle isn’t really correct. I ran it on 8s, (stock gearing )13t pinion 50t spur, hobbywing max 5 esc in my dbxle and it reached temps of just under 200* with a gcrc Maximus v2 fan setup for about 10 minutes. The manufacturer states for “light duty 1:5” and 6th scale. I swapped to an 800kv and all the heat was gone even when i went up to an 18t pinion. Temps were 106* I prefer my hobbywing over the castles I’ve had. The castle burned out too quick, got too hot too fast even with stock gearing and massive fans. Sure HW isn’t as “powerful” but they last longer. This is just my experience. But good reviews man!

Great video. Have a question what motor is better--hobbywing 1650kv or the Spectrum 1250kv? You didn't talk about that motor
@InnovationRC4 жыл бұрын
Consider the hobbywing 1650 almost equivalent to the castle 1650, but not sensored. Same what I stated for the castle applies

I like the motor comparison idea. I wish you would do another and focus on application. The applications I recommend are; speed run, drag racing, and heavy size to mid size truck bashing (define - stunts to speedy rough terrain). Thanks and look forward to your next video.

Appreciate that. Acknowledged. I didn't want to be insanely specific regarding application this video. Just give a base all around level of it

6:40 there is no debate. Higher kV = lower internal resistance = higher efficiency. Geared for the same speed, high kV will yield longer runtime than low kV.

Can you please text me the best set up for the kraton 8s. I want more speed and power.

What do you think would be the right all around set up for an 8s Xmaxx?
@InnovationRC4 жыл бұрын
You can go with either 1100s. Honestly may prefer the 5687. Just more staple for the size. The 2028 is big for sure, but still I'd choose the 5687 over the 1100 only because of size. That castle 1100 is a big motor, not needed really for Xmaxx

Innovation RC Okay, I will go with the 5867 and max6 combo. Thanks!

I have an XRT 8s, would the castle 2028 800kv be a good option? I am running the hobbywing max 6 esc and the speed gearing 24/46.

Great vid 👍im running the 1250 spectrum in my xmaxx with the standard esc at the moment, I want to upgrade the esc and was just wanting to know what would you recommend max 5 or max 6.

Castle needs to bring out some more 12s esc that’s if there already is some I’m not sure
