INSANE! 8S! Arrma limitless - Castle 1650kv

[@casemotube]

Cheers mate! I’m also a Limitless owner, but with the 1717 motor, and because your motor’s outer-can temperature was at 183° F near the end bell, I thought I might pass-on some important information. When heated above 176° F (80° C), a magnet will quickly lose its magnetic properties. The magnet will become permanently demagnetized if exposed to these temperatures for a certain length of time or heated at a significantly higher temperature. Odds are, the internal temperatures near the rotor are 20°F higher than the outer-can temperature. With this in mind, it’s but another reason for the Castle Creations firm to deny any type of warranty on their high-speed equipment. The motors and ESC’s will be pushed beyond their limits no matter how hard the end user tries to keep it sane. Gear down and get some high-velocity fans blowing on your motor! Best of wishes for your future speed runs!

[@jamiewellman6986]

1520 1650 Kv runs too hot I traded it in to castle for 1717 1650 Kv can't wait to see how it does

[@martins2657]

Limitless pushed on the limit by you :-D Really nice upgrade. Nice to see your upgrading videos, perfect angle of cam and your skills. Thanks for your energy and smile. Its so important in this time.

[@MatthewSimm]

Thank you Martin 😀 I do my best

[@rcuintheshed6981]

That was awesome those drifts hear the power pretty sure I need one of those in my life 👊👍💯

[@MatthewSimm]

You definitely do bro! You could make a rally one 😉

[@rcuintheshed6981]

I could see that not lasting very long at all in my hands that looks so much fun

[@petergoodwin2465]

I had to get it , you and Aussie rc playground keep making me buy them. The thing is so nice , I'm doing this the same as you Matty. Looks so good even sitting on the shelf. Castle is not cheap but definitely worth the money.

[@SpeedSyko]

Haha! That’s awesome! I have the same electronics in one of my street cars. That’s Awesome!!!! Another Epic video! So much fun!!!!

[@disciplinerc]

Welcome to the club my guy!! I could feel the exhilaration in your voice. Let the sending begin!! (Oh and start buying tires now 😂)

[@MatthewSimm]

It was very exciting man! 😀 I already am looking at tyres haha

[@princekingrc6628]

I love this RC!!! I may get another one to use this build that is in yours......

[@RCDUDE81]

Awesome build on the Limitless Matt! She has some serious horsepower for sure with the Castle system! Awesome first run and wicked drifts! Just something about on road bashing and burning rubber that is so much fun! I had an awesome session with my SWB Felony VW and Rally Car! Even got a some backflips with my street ramp!😆Awesome vid man and look forward to see what you do with it in the future!

[@MatthewSimm]

Hey dude! Thanks man, I'm so keen to see what it'll do. I did watch that video! Sorry I haven't commented, I seen you backflipping it, that was crazy!

[@Lpk1520]

This looks very funny!👍🏼

[@ImThatGhostz]

Great video matt I enjoyed it i used to have that setup in my kraton 8s then switched to the xlx2

[@MatthewSimm]

What do you think of the xlx2? I thought about getting it but I couldn't be bothered modifying the car to accommodate it haha

[@ImThatGhostz]

@@MatthewSimm i like it alot

[@EJ-74]

The Limitless is definitely one of the best speed demons out the box. Yeah 4 - 6s is plenty for bashing around drifting etc. Loads of fun burning rubber. 🔥 Cheers mate. 🔥👍✌️

[@MatthewSimm]

I'm really enjoying it. I may do speed runs then turn it back into a basher haha

[@MikeStallone]

Excited to see what you do with the limitless

[@MatthewSimm]

Yo Mike, I'm coming after your PB haha jk 😜

[@John-np2bf]

I've had the same setup for awhile since they released the 1650 kv.... It 's fast. Easily breaks 120 on a straight road

[@Alphabet7]

You have to do a video where this car is like an off-road monster

[@cacanjacowans540]

46T center diff & 20T pinion for general bashing. Protek/rocket makes 30/35mm aluminum fans as well 👌🏾❤

[@steveblackbird]

Nicely done Matt. Welcome to the "A set of new tyres every bash" club lol. I have the Felony and it's hard not to power slide the thing everywhere... The Arrma 1/7ths are perfect... there's a reason why Raz, Kevin and a LOT of speed run people use this chassis. Absolute winner by Arrma. Can't wait to see you hammer that beast done a long straight road.

[@MatthewSimm]

Thanks dude and yeah, even after those few skids etc.. the tyres are warn a bit haha 😄 Definitely a top rc car

[@ramos.nitrorc]

what gearing are you using?

[@therchotspot]

Nice setup bro! Look forward to seeing the speed run

[@MatthewSimm]

Thanks mate 😀

[@cjchannel12RC]

Cool video i am a little late though, That's a crazy fast RC i was looking at a Limitless V1 or 2 but i figured out that the Infraction V2 6s is cheaper and easier to get into at my budget. I might get a Castle 8s combo the 1717 one for my XO-1 and maybe another 1717 or maybe a 1520 for my new Infraction. Keep making the good content.

[@justinsample7539]

Nice setup Matt, I have been looking into one of these, great video brother!

[@MatthewSimm]

Great fun dude! I haven't used it much but I highly recommend it so far

[@MatthewSimm]

That would be awesome man! I'm sure I can find something when the time is right

[@joseCalderon1976]

Nice bud. I prefer converting a V1 Infraction to an almost GT vehicle with a sleek body. It looks better than the limitless stock TBH. But anyways, nice toy! I'm still working on my Felony that I converted into a thunder truck. XLX2, 1100KV motor motor from HW. I just have to work on changing the rear diff and installing the spool in the center. Hehe. Good stuff bud as always!

[@MatthewSimm]

Thanks bro and I agreed, I only got the limitless for the fact I'd pay less as I didn't want to use stock electronics

[@benhiman007]

[@colesheehan9929]

What sticky tape did you use to keep your electronics stay in place?

I use gorilla mounting tape, it's great stuff. Be sure the clean everything with alcohol or break cleaner. Cover entire surface and give it some time (over night) to fully stick

[@Yelnats101]

im excited just watching lol i have been putting off getting into speed run cars. because i know how much money they can consume, if i do get into, im just aiming for 125 mph. thats fairly cheap to reach

[@MatthewSimm]

I think some of the excitement comes from building up your PB! My current PB is only 101mph using a 124019 wltoys haha. Surpass make a cheap 1/8th scale 6s kit, you could start their or go better if you can afford to do so.

[@Yelnats101]

This is so cool! So happy for you man! Love that castle system, looks really smooth. Will you use this for a speed run car or a road basher? Sweet drifting mate!

[@MatthewSimm]

Hey thanks a million dude 😀 I'll probably try for 150mph abd then turn into into a basher haha, I wish I had 3 of these. Rally, speed and bash hahaha

[@beyondRC]

Love the limitless! Always wanted one and this video has made that craving worse!! Love that setup and cant wait to see this full speed on 8s!! Great vid bro! 😎👍

thanks dude and if you can, you should definitely get one!

You should use the 9imod 50kg servo this is really powerfull and cheap

[@tyehicks8739]

I want to do a Limitless project, but I want to put a Castle 1721 2400kv motor with the xlx2 esc. I think that would scream!

[@MatthewSimm]

That would be my next step if I go that far with it. That combo in no joke, probably the best speed run motor right now

[@tyehicks8739]

My goal is 150 mph, but finding a street that's not busy is going to be my biggest challenge. Good luck, and God speed with your limitless. Lol

I actually couldn't get one is Australia 🤔

[@jairamragbir437]

[@Cornelius456]

Out of Curiosity matey, why you measuring in F instead of C and why do you shop in the states instead of Aus? Done well with your Limitless build bud, nice stuff. They really do look like they're going 300k just standing still!

[@MatthewSimm]

Hey dude, I use F because over 50% of my audience is from America so I do it to suit the majority. But I should start doing both. I shop in Australia but same thing, I give links for amain because they are a great company in America and my audience is mostly American but I'm trying to find a good company ti do affiliates with in Australia and include links to both countries

[@Anton-gz1go]

I am 16 years old, I have a kraton exb which is broken, I got a Udr which is broken and a broken slash 4x4. I saved up and I have just about enough money to buy a limitless and then I would be broke. I have been thinking about buying one for over a year now and I found a good deal on the Internet. I really want one. If you were in my position, would you buy the car or buy spare parts for the broken cars? By the way I love the video, its awesome

If you want to pull more speed, the 1717 will pull a bigger pinion on 8s without running as hot.

Unfortunately I could not get the 1717 in Australia. I think the 1721 might be the step up with the xlx2 if I decide to go that far haha

@@MatthewSimm yeah the new 1721 would be a beast. Not sure how the length is on that motor though. If it fits with the motor and center diff mounts in the stock locations it would be a no brainer.

Sounds good and worked great until my xlx2 spit white fire out of it yesterday as soon as I powered it up…contacted castle and was told the 1717 1650kv shouldn’t be ran with xlx2 at all, so I asked if it would be ok with my Mmx8s and was told not really but if I do then I shouldn’t exceed stock gearing🤷🏼‍♂️
