Absolutely awesome! Knowing how big and heavy this car is, being able to achieve that speed is really amazing. Well done, Brandon. 😎👍

[@InnovationRC]

Thanks Vas! Very much appreciated. It was certainly a challenge

[@filippodavideconiglione8387]

hello friend what's the name of the tires you mounted on the Kraton 8S I want to buy them

[@The667tony]

Can you send me the exact tire model and size of your tires,please? I'd like to put them on a 8s outcast.

[@filmride3153]

They are Gona Bananas foams, I am hoping they release another set soon after traxxas released their new truck

[@dickfantastic7908]

One thing I really appreciate about your builds is that they always look so amazing. Wire layouts are always thought out, and your vehicles are showroom clean looking. Performance is awesome of course, but these extra details are what sets this channel apart.

[@InnovationRC]

I can appreciate this comment because you acknowledge what I ultimately try to dish out to others. I also have Wire OCD 🤪

[@dickfantastic7908]

@@InnovationRC As I type this I'm taking a break from mapping out a 2x10 I can screw up on the garage ceiling to hang my lasers and lights from. No one is going to see it but me, it's just a practice setup, but I'm already picking out just the right lengths of custom cables I've made. So it looks nice for me I guess 🤣. Measuring though so I can get the angles just right or it will light up and look funny... Details are everything even if it's just you that notices. Here's my thing, instagram.com/liquidskymt/ facebook.com/liquidskymt

Good morning! How has the XLX2 been holding up for you? I'm about to order a XLX2 for my DBXL-E 2.0 but now I'm reading about faulty ESC's and cases of blowing up :(

[@press425hall3]

I have a arrma felony with a 5680 t.p 1920 kv motor. Had a 42 pinion with a 34 spool and ran it for the first time today and the esc caught fire! And I literally went about 35 feet not even half throttle. Seen ya video and was thinking of getting this esc

[@InnovationRC]

Sorry to hear that. Last time I ran an xlx in my Kraton it caught fire at only 83 mph, long ago. Haven't decided to push it until this new esc. It did the trick

[@KaizerTest]

That was cool seeing that beast do over 100Mph! Great job brother😀👍 On a side note I used the same range booster you did the video on...works great! I did a vid on what I did to install it and I gave you credit and added a link to your vid in the description.

Just watched Kevin Talbot burn up 2 of those XLX2's, almost back to back, and he didn't even get to run them yet. Seemed like he did the install totally fine. He even tried the TP motor. Anyway, your videos are awesome! I was thinking of using the stock 8s kraton electronics, for a limitless. I'm not big time like you. 100mph would be nice, without reaching thermal shutdown too quickly.

[@InnovationRC]

Yes it is unfortunate his blew up. I bought a second right from my local hobby store and never had an issue with it. Reach out to me in my instagram @innovation and I can further help you out on your goal!

Edit: lol After looking a little closer I can see you did a lot of custom fab to get that splitter installed. Really looks good man. That road you're running on it perfect. It's nice and long and it has plenty of grass on each side if the car goes off the road. That thing is a beast! Now I need to up my Kraton 8s... (I picked the same body to.. :) Right now I'm stuffing a max 6 and an 1100kv into my Felony.

[@press425hall3]

I figured it out! The esc not the issue the max volts for the motor is 28.5 and I was running 8s which is higher than the 28.5 so I just gotta run 6 or 7 s and I’ll be good

[@lukebaines7785]

The amount of kinetic energy in a 10kg RC travelling at over 100mph... probably the same as a 50.cal!

[@dirtrider88]

the energy of a 20lb object going 100mph is just over 6,600 lb ft. the engery of a an average 50 caliber (655 grains which is .093 lbs going just over 3,000 feet pers second) is over 13,000 lb ft of energy. i read your comment and thought surely a 20lb rc car going 100mph has more energy than a 50 cal, boy was i wrong.

[@lukebaines7785]

@@dirtrider88 Loaded Kraton with 2 x 4s is about 26-27lbs. And are you talking muzzle energy or the kinetic energy on inpact? Seriously though, I think we agree it's impressive!

@InnovationRC its in the original message i have the K8S with the MM8S/800kv setup i bought 34/39 and also have 39/39 but i kno im not ready for that 1:1 ratio besdies that if im not mistaken i heard 1mil/2mil/500k on oil but seeing how fast yours is i want your personal recommendation!! 🙏🏽🙇‍♂️

[@InnovationRC]

@@proefficientsvision6325 800kv on 8s with a 1:1 ratio isn't that astronomical, run it in gear reduction first 34/39 and see how well it performs. If it runs cool then bump it up to 1:1. Yeah I was wondering what you meant by setup when you told me the vehicle and electronics already that's usually the setup. You meant gearing= setup. Gotcha haha

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS Brandon 👏 I know how much hard work you put in. I started watching this last night, saw 1st run of 101mph then literally got pulled away on business. Just seen in full. 103mph on 2nd run... I reckon there's more in the tank, going by TP Can cool temps, is room for taller gearing. Man that CC XLX2 is a Monster 👾 New World Record is in the post 🏆 🏁 #N01 Oh BTW Brandon I use big pancake Graphene Panthers 6000mah 75C in my K8S & have to stand them sideways like you, its a struggle to get Strap through the Plastic Loop.. Can I ask did you remove the Plastic piece & use the original Strap or did you fit new battery straps ? TIA 🙏

Thanks on that man. I have the OEM battery straps. I just pull the forward through the top side and velcro it, after I'll adjust by sliding it back up and around to make it work.

I just got my xlx2 yesterday, I bought a TP 5660 1356kv after I told hobby shop I wanted a tp motor to go with the esc and wanted decent speed around 85mph and to bash a little also nothing crazy. I have the stock 47 spur and they said start with a 25 pinion and work your way up. After looking on TP's site I saw the chart that said 6s not 8s, do you think it will be a issue? also do you think the 25 is good or should I jump to a 30t while sticking with the 47t main gear? Thank you for your reply. Videos are great and very informative. happy holidays...

[@InnovationRC]

That 5660 can definitely take 8s. Just watch your motor temperatures because that esc won't get hot on ya. And yes I'd totally get a starting gearing of that. If you want to go faster go up 2 teeth every time
