Great video. Awesome that you show the actual upgrade and the performance testing in the same video.

[@zachowns1023]

Just ordered mine after my stock 8s esc decided to go out. Great video this is exactly the test I was looking for!

[@dankstank6854]

Rebuilding my x maxx right now this is exactly what I was looking for ! Love the videos man 👍🏻

[@mannychen2154]

I just got my WFO gears and mount aswell yesterday! And just installed them like 10 mins ago! I can’t wait to run my XMAXX now! Awesome video!

[@SpeedSyko]

Manny, your vids were deleted! I was excited to see some action! Hope you post more vids!

[@artsumampong5562]

Great video! I'm done searching to upgrade my xmaxx. I finally found the answer. More Xmaxx footage.

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Awesome video once again bro, thanks for sharing your information with us all 👍😁👍

[@tomandrews5392]

I like the video boy the X-Max can take a beating and comes back for more..Keep up the great content

[@rw2king]

Great video man when mine breaks I will be getting that setup. 👍👍

[@SpeedSyko]

Wow that thing has torque for days!

[@iWubmusic]

I'm just impressed that your body is staying on the whole time

[@Bawla187]

That thing is a beast💪🏿

[@bigballmagrawl0929]

I just picked up a tmaxx and a revo my next step after the crawler is def the xmaxx this thing looks like to much fun

[@SpeedSyko]

I have this set up, haven’t run it yet just got it yesterday. Live near the supplier for these mounts and gears. Lucky me! Wow, thought the gearing may be slow, I was wrong! Stop hitting rocks lol! I may try 30 25 for a little mor top end. Running direct gearing burns batteries fast. But fun!

[@SpeedSyko]

On payment with no wheelie bar I wonder if it will do a standing backflip?

[@adidastrev8689]

Very nice, very beefy upgrade there! Looks you wont have to worry about the mount and gears unless you drop that rig out of a plane!! Haha! Great bashing and video as well!! Look forward to more from ya!

Excuse me but I cant remember what you said started at 4:20

[@SpeedSyko]

Great video, I’m making videos on this one.

[@acerig4675]

If my Kraton even seen this video, the diffs would fall straight out.

[@thomaslizotte4058]

NICE VIDEO! I’m planning to buy this exact same kit from WFO but as I’m living in Canada, I do lots of snow bashing. I’m wondering if the wide open unprotected new gears will be OK in wet conditions. If so, would you put any grease? Thanks!

[@SpeedSyko]

The gears will rust, spray the system down with wd40 including plastics to keep them bendable and less brittle, Jim mine 30 feet plus and no breakages. Really helps, I stay away Friday m electrons with the spray though.

[@raulmartinezmartin9240]

Dear, one question : is necessary WFO motor mount for install 5687 HobbyWing motor or is possible to install with original motor mount? Thank you very much

[@mohammedmuhusin5727]

Nice video sir, what’s the overall weight of the rig after all the upgrades

[@kimdra9321]

WoooooW 👏🏽💪🏽👏🏽

[@ericbrooks1562]

Would love to have mount and gear set. Sadly they are "sold out" of gear/shaft combo.

[@xXPuReNinjazXx]

I just got the 1100kv motor and the wfo 20/35 gears combined with the max 6. Is there anything else to look out for?

[@eacalways]

I have the same combo gears,with leopard 58113 870kv motor & leopard BL5 esc after 10min of run it destroyed my Fastlanerc bulletproof rear differential,good thing it has 1 year warranty🙂

[@ExocagedRC]

pats4life LoL these big motors are strong!

[@lilnash7]

Wait what you have a 870kv 58113 motor didn't know those existed, what are they rated at ? I have the 1050kv 58113 with hobbywing max 5 running 30spur and 25 pinion. It is so fast like really really fast. I have never done a full trigger throttle to this date I've owned for three months it just becomes scary when you're three quarter throttle. I'm running the castle 2028 fan but my motor and esc gets extremely hot can't put my finger for long on the motor and the esc. But have never gone in thermal shit down. I don't know what I need to do. Tbh. Also regarding your diffs I was constantly breaking the diffs before went through 4 rear diffs. Untill one person told me to leave the esc on punch level 1 and haven't broken any diffs since touch wood. What fans do you use and what gearing are you using, did it ran cool when it ran before diffs issues. cheers mate

[@ExocagedRC]

Nash mine is an 800kv Hobbywing

[@lilnash7]

@@ExocagedRC oh sorry was referring to the guy above who said they had a Leopard 58113 motor same as mine it's more powerful than the 800kv motor from hobbywing

[@eacalways]

Nash yes that’s the motor I have and it’s has lots of power Model: New LP56113-V2 .KV: 870KV .Voltage Max.: 11S LiPo .Max. Amps: 190A .Max. Power: 8000W .Size (D*L): 58mm*113mm .Shaft diameter: 8mm .Mounting hole depth: 7mm .Weight: 1295g

[@Totemwolfdog]

how has the drivetrain been holding up? I can't keep mine in one piece since I put that Hobbywing system in it!

[@codygillespie3369]

Hobby wing or castle what kv for good torque and power I hear castle has better support but also I heard they sold out will it be the same idk I've also heard hobbywing has horrible customer service but also been recommended hobby wing ESC more than most what should I do I'm buying a new xmaxx I heard the stock 8s esc blows quick so I'm looking to sell the new parts for a bargain to someone and upgrade it what would you recommend I bash hard but not as hard as you I love speed and wheelies on demand I want a ESC and motor that will least a long time with proper care which I still have a t Maxx .15pro that works so I do take care of my stuff lol

[@lilnash7]

What steering servo are you running air thanks in advance

[@dlp-rc2598]

With the way this motor mount works seems like it would be easy to get the motor crooked. I just purchased one to go with my soon to have castle system. Is it an easy install?

[@SpeedSyko]

Theses mounts can be install crooked, you have to be careful it when it right it’s way better then stock, I never use the pins even with stock set up, get perfect meshing that’s way. Never had a problem

[@andreaskayser8369]

Hello my friend ! , which Mod 1.5 translation are you using, unfortunately my English is not that good? Greetings from Austria/Falco...

[@ExocagedRC]

WFO gears in this one, there should be a link in the description for them

[@barxkyRC]

what wfo gearing did you use? thanks

[@vincevirina425]

nice video ..what gearing did u get on wfo?

[@ExocagedRC]

30/35

[@justinwood61]

I just installed my wfo gears and there is a lot of runout on the spur gear almost like it’s warped. I tried adjusting it with the grub screws but nothing seems to help. The shaft seems nice and true. Did yours do that? Should I worry? It walks maybe 1-1.5 mm and is really noisy (not a steady noise like yours).

[@ExocagedRC]

Justin Wood as in the spur slides in and out on the shaft? Some play is normal. If the spur is moving up and down that’s simply not right at all.

[@justinwood61]

Exocaged RC it’s not in and out it’s more like it’s warped or on at an angle almost like the bore size is too big and the grub screw is lifting it off the shaft making the gear sit at an angle.

[@ExocagedRC]

Justin Wood oh wow. I’d get with WFO and show him a video clip of what it’s doing.

[@justinwood61]

Exocaged RC will do thank you!!

[@SpeedSyko]

Re alight the mount to chassis, also inspect the motor shaft for bending. Seems unlickly but I’ve bent shafts with extreme sacrilegious beatings. Pull safr and spin slowly on a drill.

[@davidpresutti3014]

I love it beat the hell out of that thing 👌😂

[@clayton8465]

Nice setup. What motor is that? What esc are you running? Damn it flies.

[@ExocagedRC]

Hobbywing 800kv and Hobbywing Max5 with two turnigy 5000mah 4s batteries

[@clayton8465]

Exocaged RC and the gearing was 25/30? It looked spot on.

[@ExocagedRC]

@@clayton8465 yeah man, power and speed were on point, I'm glad it didn't break anything with that big dirt rock!!

[@victorpadua5124]

Who's selling WFO products? Where can I get more info?

[@genisdevlin2751]

What’s springs are you running on your xmaxx?

[@ExocagedRC]

Genis Devlin those are the stiffest ones out of an integy spring tuning set

[@hammerhome7879]

Curious to know how much the run time suffers with a 800kv motor ?? ..and the 1100kv ??

[@ExocagedRC]

From what I could tell it’s about the same. The 1100 may be less due to the gearing making it work harder. Not totally sure on that.

[@SpeedSyko]

Gearing plays a big roll, tuning direct drive30/30 will give you 10 min of drive time, his set up you may get close to 20

[@SaltyDuck97]

What gearing would you recommend with the MAX5 1100kv?

[@ExocagedRC]

20/30 or 25/35

[@tamerabufarwa7531]

Getting max 5 or castle xlx2 Which is better

[@lolosolodolo1]

Max 5

[@wissamal-shakargi1652]

Can the stock diffs handle the power ?

[@ExocagedRC]

wissam AL-shakargi yeah mine hold up very well

[@SpeedSyko]

It will tear up stock diffs especially if you run direct drive, 30/30

[@dbbl]

suspension is set too bouncy. Could run much smoother on that ground i believe.

[@gregg7761]

Do you have any info on the esc mount you used in this video?

[@ExocagedRC]

yeah I printed it of a file I got from thingiverse

[@gregg7761]

Ok thank you. It is a clean looking installation.

[@Directory1]

I wouldn't do that with my own car . This was totally my fix for the night!

[@wubbalubbadubdub1050]

Then give it to someone who will these things aren’t meant to be babied

[@E-NORMUOS]

Do you run a locked center diff ?

[@ExocagedRC]

JBWeLD88 nope it has the factory 20M Diff oil in it.

[@E-NORMUOS]

That’s for the info. I now know what I’m doing with my xmaxx

[@SpeedSyko]

No I can see he’s not, I haven’t tried it, I’m building mine for standing backflips. I will have a lot of videos on my channel if you check it out in the next few weeks.

[@lexsteel12]

Is the link you provided for wforcracing.com the correct link? It takes you to www.dirtcheap-rc.com. They only seem to sell 3 and 4S Arrma stuff, no Traxxas.

[@ExocagedRC]

Hmmm. I’ve heard about them making a new site. I’d just search google to get the right one.

[@timmanning8166]

What servo do you run??!!!

[@ExocagedRC]

Tim Manning I did a servo swap a while back on it. Hitec 5765 is what I used. I made a video but there was a LOT of cutting and risk involved. If you want to see that video send me an email at [e-mail]

Ok they are working on the website right now. On their Facebook they explain it, go there and send a message to Brian Caudill he is WFO. tell him Exocaged sent you.

[@izikhunter2041]

Anybody hear demonic gears

[@SpeedSyko]

No, these seem to be the perfect aftermarket, have this for my stock setup and 800kv motor set up

[@glennedward2201]

All I see is lack of innovation and copying of other company products.

[@torpedoLaw]

WFO gear company is pathetic. Small company in Washington state. They don’t respond to emails period. No phone number to call them. Spend your money somewhere else. Last 14 months completely out of stock for their gears. Their steel manufacturer shut them down

[@ExocagedRC]

he does get gears in stock from time to time, but they sell out fast everytime he does, you gotta be on a waiting list for them.

[@torpedoLaw]

@@ExocagedRC nope not me, getting on a 3 month waiting list … lol … nope. Cant wait till there’s more players in the market! A real money maker is in these mod 1.5 gears for 8mm shafts. There’s several manufactures (big names) taking notice. Stay tuned! We’ll have some good healthy competition soon.

[@SolRayz]

God I hope so... Tired of companies that can't just produce the goods.

[@kevinstamp8313]

The max flip. Thats why traxxas sucks can't even turn without flipping

[@SpeedSyko]

I found taking off the steering correction fixes this

[@SpeedSyko]

If your taking about the 4s maxx, yes, they suck in my opinion, they make a wide wheel base kit that seems to help but not perfect.
