Wow you guys scrolled to the bottom? That's Awesome!!!! If by chance you want to contribute to the channel send me an email at [e-mail] thank you

[@Grump69neal]

That is a mean machine and now I want one thanks for the great review

[@_gummikko_]

Awesome to see how much difference relatively small changes do 👌🏻

[@michaelluciano7774]

Dang that's really cool, there's almost no limit to them brushless. One day I hope to own my first brushless, Kool video dude

[@mojaverc1585]

I Can’t miss an upload.

[@annadarby7224]

Awesome build so far though. I’m about to order the same setup. Hope my 8s will wheelie now haha. My 6s does all day but it’s not the same as the 8s

[@Jaylay-2390]

Keep it coming exo

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

BIG TP Motor on my Xmaxx hitting 78.8MPH on "small tires :) if you want speed go at least 1200kv and a bigger motor than the castle! Heat is a non issue for me - all about the gearing. Loved the video keep em coming.

[@ExocagedRC]

Awesome. I’m not a big speed guy but an honest 55-60 in a grass field is a good number for me.

[@show2ime]

I have the same setup as he does and geared 35 35 on my 7s and hit 85mph- he has the stock spur gear is why he only hit 52

[@jcallesano]

@@show2ime @Show2ime so you have the castle 800kv motor and MM8s esc with 35/35 gear hitting 85? What did you do with the different bullet sizes from the motor to the esc?

[@lowridr2]

just ordered the 800kv castle and some mod 1 large pinions 36t and 44t going to try those out

[@5tbadger]

Cool vid,, on my k8s with stock elecs an 23t pinion an 20mil centre, am getting 49 mph, pretty stoked on performance 🤙

[@aaronjean9055]

I did the same but my run time was only about 6-8 mins

[@5tbadger]

Am getting about 14-16 mins run time 🤙

[@apagonarms]

So what’s the point of 8s if the performance is worse and run times are less?

[@annunaki_]

Another great vid 🤘🔥

[@garywynegarsvikingrc843]

Proline Badlands Joe!

[@oliverwilkins621]

50t next!!!! 😂😂🔥🔥

[@normellow]

Frisbee sized pinion gear. Lol

[@darweez]

Just installed a 36t pinion with the pps mount. Doesn't look like there is any more room for a larger pinion? I think I'm maxed out on the motor mount?

[@justincase948]

That thing just shreds 👍👍what was the stock speeds..???

[@bf1isabeast178]

I'm new to the channel, great video!

[@NepDouble07]

Almost 53 in grass is impressively fast.

[@wtfmimshag]

Lol that motor is insane. Is there scope to run this on a pair of 6s packs?

[@mr.sinister1279]

Man U turned that Kraton into a lawn mower!!

[@ExocagedRC]

Oh man I’ve seriously thought about putting a horizontal blade in front of one of these !!

[@mr.sinister1279]

Exocaged RC that would be sweet n watch it shove snow n mud out the way.. I have a redcat shredder and a dhk zombie wat high pinion gear would u recommend on both??

[@ExocagedRC]

MR.Sinister 1 unfortunately I’ve never had either of those two vehicles so I really don’t know what to recommend on them. Sorry.

[@mr.sinister1279]

Exocaged RC ok cool thanks anyways.. keep that lawn mower mowing!!

[@jcallesano]

This gps better than the sky RC one that you can only read through the phone app? I need to get one badly.

[@ExocagedRC]

I haven’t messed with the sky gps. Sorry

[@Joe-N-Kat]

Interesting to know how it holds being that it doesn't have the flat spot like the shaft and the OEM gear.

[@BlvlWmpower]

I like the small tire diameter, just wish they were wider tires.

[@ExocagedRC]

I think there may be a wider version

[@joseCalderon1976]

Nice. I wonder how long will your battery last with that giant gear 🤔?

[@1micYT]

Link to 40t pinion? Even the 35, please.

[@TheOneNOnly88]

Redcat website is selling the rampage r5 1050kv motor with8mm bore for $60 try that motor out its under clearance items

[@javierduran2328]

put a mamba xlx 800kv WITH 12S!!! is amazing the power

[@camrowdrone6497]

Just think how fast on road tires 👍🏻

[@ExocagedRC]

It would pick up a few mph I’m sure just being on pavement

[@TheOneNOnly88]

Could always run a set of redcat rampage mt tires they are big and heavy

[@a10v]

Did it get really hot? I ran mine with a 41t pinion with leopard 1340kv and max5 esc and it got extremely hot, as well the front tires would glitch/giggle really bad when I would hit the throttle from completely stop

[@ExocagedRC]

With that 1350kv you need to gear down to about a 32t pinion.

[@jcallesano]

So I know that motor has larger bullets than the MM8s esc takes. What did you do there? I have that esc new in box but contemplating the whole set up since I'll need to change buttlet size

[@davidromeo4211]

What spur gear did you use? I'm going with the 1100 KV Castle I know you ran that as well what did you find to be the best gearing?

[@daledonaldson7201]

What pinion would you guys put on a hobbywing max6 1650kv?

[@bigbadbronx72]

Quick question; what pinion do you recomend for an all around basher and jumper K8 with a 1340 kv Leopard motor?

[@joshsrcs]

Solution: get an XMaxx that goes 50 mph stock and has a good center diff and can do backflips outa the Box but I do like the Kraton 8s and I would get it if it wasn’t as expensive as the XMaxx

[@stuart3712]

K8S when it comes to top speed 100% stock, its on par to a 100% stock Xmaxx but if we talk about real world side by side speed, K8S is faster because of its handling alone. The K8S has rock solid diff's and bulkheads which is much more solid then the Xmaxx's. As far as backflips go, its a 30+lb rc with a low stance, low center of gravity so its a given its not the best at backflips stock and not everyone wants to do backflips or jump for the matter.

[@StayOnIt]

I have an Xmaxx and it doesn’t do 50 out of box. On my 2nd esc too, first one caught fire. Traxxas had to make upgrades for the center differentials...be cause they weren’t up to the stock task.

[@MrCovain]

How much run time do you get with the 35T? Or even the other size pinion?

[@ExocagedRC]

20-30 minutes depending on how hard I'm running

[@MrCovain]

@@ExocagedRC dang... ok. I'm not getting nowhere close to that

[@MrMuffanga]

What diff fluids in the front and rear are you running?

[@ExocagedRC]

Stock I think

[@mikegriffin6395]

What size spur gear are you running?

[@ExocagedRC]

Stock 47t

[@1micYT]

Link to 40t pinion?

[@adrianmichel9552]

Are you running stock spur gear on it?

[@ExocagedRC]

yes, stock spur

[@adrianmichel9552]

Hey man really love your videos! I am going to be purchasing a 780kv motor and I was just wondering what gearing I should be using. I’m going to be purchasing a spektrum 780kv motor do you know if these are any good?

[@thomasgomes5639]

You don't say what sper your running???

[@arlesc2012]

I am running a 800kv hobby wing, any fan you recommend for it?

[@ExocagedRC]

does it need fans? Mine runs well without a fan

[@arlesc2012]

I am running a 44t pinion and it got a little Hot last time

[@Matt-nt5kw]

@@ExocagedRC what is your spur with that 40p ...no need for fans ?

[@raydash2898]

Curious to see how the run time and motor heat were compared to the 35 tooth. 50mph is plenty fast enough for me if it keeps the heat down and extends the run times.

[@MrCovain]

My run time sucks with 800kv, xlx2 and 35T pinion

[@MrCovain]

Something seems off

[@jcallesano]

@@MrCovain you figure it out? What mah batteries?

[@MrCovain]

@@jcallesano not his but I'm running 8000 mah 100c

[@jcallesano]

@@MrCovain that should be at least 20 mins. I run 9000s right now. It's a good amount of time for me.

[@jerryvwallace2]

But by running these large pinions you may gain massive speed but don’t you sacrifice power/torque?

[@thomasgomes5639]

Yes you do, More heat buildup too

[@walterjackson8449]

check your temp heat temp gun

[@justinflud3415]

Might be old news, 1120 hobbystarr and 1/2 the price of castle 🤷‍♂️

[@tahayt6142]

Is it 5mm shaft??

[@ExocagedRC]

8mm shaft on the big 2028 size motors

[@joseCalderon1976]

Check out the duratrax lockups x 24mm belted tires. They are awesome! They work great on my xmaxx 8s and some people say that they work great on the K8S too 👍

[@annadarby7224]

Where did you get the 40t pinion?
