Traxxas X-Maxx Hobbywing Max 5 ESC fitting with 800KV motor - great electrics crap gears

[@jacobhenson3952]

Nice upgrades. I use Traxxas batteries still with all my upgrades like max 6 in my sledge and my upgrades Xmaxx. I hear everybody say there batteries are not good but they always do me right and last a long time even with the bigger motors and esc. I don’t much like the Traxxas plugs but I buy the 4s esc plugs and they work pretty good. Most batteries say they have a 100c rating are not really that much anyway so the Traxxas 25c to 50c burst batteries work fine for me in case anybody was wondering I guess. Lol

[@TeamRC3D]

We have found traxxas okay. They are not cheap but comparable to similar price batteries, hate the traxxas connector. We use icharger for charging it and discharging

[@timmytimtime1284]

Yep. Same motor and esc i have. Hobby mAx5 and the 800kv motor has lots of power 🔥🔥

[@TeamRC3D]

New gears are on there way!

Congrats on 1000 subs.

[@TeamRC3D]

Thanks, feels like it’s a nice achievement

[@FarmerFpv]

It's crazy how nimble they are for such big goofy monster trucks, lol. I would use the vivton motor mount as it supports the motor at both ends. I have never used a fan on my Max 5 combo. They don't get hot at all when geared right, The 800kv should run nice and cool.

[@TeamRC3D]

Looking forward to finally giving it a proper run

Hi, can you post the link of the new gears (Pinion and spur)?

[@lanyburnett7966]

Who would have thought by butting a 50% bigger motor, with loads more torque, that was build for a true fifth scale vehicles, would strip the gears on an Xmaxx that is designed as a 1/6th scale truck?? Just get the Max 6 ESC with their 1200 KV motor and you are good to go.

[@TeamRC3D]

The stock xmaxx driveline gears were fine, it was the aftermarket pinion and spur that didn’t

[@allscalerc]

Great job! I just subscribed to your channel. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TeamRC3D]

Thanks for the sub!

[@AbbyRCToys]

Are those duratrax tyres on X-maxx. The hobby wing had definitely made the X-maxx beast but Also more prone to damages

[@TeamRC3D]

No, they are Pro-Line Badlands MX57's 👍🏼

[@RCBASHINGFYN]

Your gear mesh was way to tight, thats why the pinion died, but nice upgrade (way overkill thoe) 😊

[@TeamRC3D]

May have appeared that way but it was meshed fine.

[@Lithium023]

I seen alot of stock xmaxx motors with the rotor tore up including mine unfortunately. I'm thinking it must be a case of not checking motor bearings enough, plus it could be the bearings just aren't the quality they should be.

[@TeamRC3D]

I checked bearings when I stripped in down and they felt okay. Just thinking it the Traxxas electrics curse!

[@Lithium023]

@@TeamRC3D oh ok maybe a bit of the kevlar wrap let go and than got caught and things went to shit from there. I don't know but to buy a stock xmaxx motor in Canada it's just over 400 dollars with tax and everything. Your paying that kind of motor you should have guaranteed 4 years out of the thing imo. As long as it wasn't extremely abused by driving through a pond or somthing but in general 4 years min IMO

[@TeamRC3D]

They are very expensive - hence we have gone down Hobbywing route!

[@andruhanovo6583]

What is the tooth count on the spur and pinion?

[@TeamRC3D]

25/30 from memory

[@andruhanovo6583]

Do you have a link to motor mount?

[@TeamRC3D]

It was just a cheap one off ebay!
