them new combos are nuts. Cant wait to get one when their available again. Im gonna be running a belt drive with mine. I got a feeling i will be burning through batteries having them charged to play again and again. Cant wait.
im very happy w the max 6 esc with stock 8s motor, but if I had the money Id love to try this set up. Just upgraded my sons rustler xl5 4wd with a hobbywing max10 and motor combo. Its a brushless sensored system. Runs so smooth
love these overpowered rc builds!
Just what I wanted to see a 1/5 scale motor install in a stock xmaxx. Epic POWER that thing got. 👍👍
Jason H yeah it was box stock before these mods.
Absolutely incredible vid my rc brother looks like i need to upgrade the XMAXXX now
Great video!! Love that combo. Truck is a beast now!!
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? Overpowered Insanity is always fun to watch. Impressive.
I wish you ran the max5/1100 kv set up in the same spot. Would've interesting to see the comparison!
Killer!!! This is just like doing this in a life size rig, it's never a straight bolt in job. Always some customization or modifying to do. Hahahahahaha you went from. A big block to a blown and stroked big block!!!!
That auto flip function will destroy diffs. Awesome vid! 👍🏿
Crazy power👍, thx for the video
That body color goes good with its insane power
This is badass more please more xmaxx
"Bro, is that a Spur on your motor?" O.o
hehe, very nice setup, let the fun begin :D
Dave Racine LoL it’s bigger than some spurs. LoL
Kick ass!! Sounds like a skill saw or something 😂
Good mornin 6:30 in MO and that motor is the size of a BEER CAN I'm awake now
it’s like a notorious 🤣but way bigger
Exactly, lol
Traxxas sells the mount for the temperature wire around the motor I'm not sure the part number offhand.
That's looks like a fun great choice.
would adding faster spur gears generally destroy the electronics to the truck? i dont get why and how to prevent adding a faster spur pinion and destroy the electronics
I always watch the full video start to finish 👍🏿I have this to be installed my xMaxx with a 45 tooth as well🤩I also have it for my K8S w/41 tooth to be installed🤩I love this motor combo, I had the Max5 combo but sold that for two of these combos 👍🏿luv your videos EXO
P8ntballa(paintballer) awesome. I’ve got a 40t on the way for the K8s. How well does yours run with the 41?
@@ExocagedRC I haven't installed it yet. I'll do it after work this afternoon and report back 👍🏿Yup I'm an essential worker 🤷🏾♂️
@@ExocagedRC EXO are you selling those esc mounts?
P8ntballa(paintballer) no sir, but if you know a local guy with a printer he can print one for you
@@ExocagedRC okay thanks 👍🏿
I saw a video where they put the castle fan on the motor also. With a little cutting
So what do you like better? The xlx2 with 800kv or the 1100kv? I’m curious on speed and torque
Hey what front and rear diff oil would you recommend with the 800kv motor upgrade thanks
Great Video, thank you. How would you say this setup compares with the Hobbywing 56113/Max 5 setup?
Not really sure but they are very close to equal even considering the stronger Max5 esc. Perhaps the castle may be a bit stronger but they are so close it’s negligible, I like the sensored operation the most.
Sweet build, I subscribed! One thing has me scratching my head though, with all the high end equipment you put into the build I’m shocked that your still using the stock TX/RX.
Gregg yeah I know, for some reason I wanted to keep it and in soon so we see the temp sensor issue and how to work around it. In all honesty my radio of choice is the GT5.
@@ExocagedRC your the only guy out here running this new setup on xmaxx and you doing very well .thanks keep going watch all your work.
@@Angel-dn9sm I actually have this set up in my xMaxx as well. Very powerful, air control on command, wheelies at any speed.
That's GNARLY!
goodness me that flies!
Hey I got the b&m 18-35 gears and the 30-35 gears . Same motor/esc combo . Just waiting for my mounts . I bought the badlands so I can not destroy any tires . I’m glad I get to watch everyone else pave the way. I’m going to order another temp/voltage sensor so I can keep my stock setup together. Thank you again. If you have any advice I’m all ears , or eyes, or TH-cam?
Looks like you have it all ready to go man. If you do swap out the radio consider the Flysky GT5. That’s what I run in it now.
@@ExocagedRC and that won’t need the temp/voltage sensor ?
Hey what do you think about the xlx2 800kv ? In my xmaxx ?
So did that esc work well for you on the Kraton 8s too? Thanks
the temp wire doesn't have to be glued to the motor, just as long as it's plugged in the receiver. Then u can just put it wherever u want.
yeah, I just figured if its there I may as well see if it works
that is a great mod, I have watched both this video and the video for the hobbywing motor /esc set build. for the money spent, truthfully ,which mod will give me more bang for my buck when im ready to go that direction????? great video's on the Xmax. love all of them.
If sensored isn't an issue for you, go with Hobbywing.
@@ExocagedRC Many thanks
That was awesome bro 👏😉
Love the "rusty old Craftsman" wrench!
lol
@@ExocagedRC I have many that I have acquired, inherited, used and abused. I value them as much as the SnapOn tools I inherited from my stepfather 40ish years ago...
MAn does that thing rip now! Good stuff!!
Going to make me upgrade my xmaxx lol...💪🏾💯🚀🔥
That motor can is just beastly !!!
Sup Exo, I love your videos. I have a quick question, do you use an external BEC for the Xmaxx? I watched your videos and didn’t see you install one. Would you recommend putting one in? Thanks
I don’t. The big esc’s have plenty of bec amps built into them
@@ExocagedRC thanks for the help Exo
Would this be a good setup for pulling around my kids
Nice video!
You’ll need to get belted tires!
Man that castle system is incredible! What if you took the receiver box out and just glued it down instead,. could you then put the esc inside?
Possible
If you mount the esc sideways it will fit in the stock esc location
Now I need that old motor and ESC for my slash.
Yo man! You are the man. This video is DEFINITELY getting saved for the future as well. EXCELLENT man, REALLY is!
Won’t the glue melt once the motor heats up?
Yes sir. It’s KRUSEN for sure.💯🤙
I have no idea, I'd guess if it gets hot enough it would. Summer is coming so if it does I'll post up about it.
Where did you get the little speedometer you had on the back of your X maxx
You the man Bro.
Nice build man...it sounds like a chainsaw😱
Edit: 84km on grass with stock tires??😱😱😱
@@chainsaw7887 😁
WoooooW very cool
Which sprockets can you recommend to me? The sticks always break
Nice Video i Love It how is your runtime with this Setup ?
Seems to be 20-30 minutes just average bashing around with 5000mah batteries.
The gears definitely sound different and wow does the truck have a lot more power.What do you think of the upgrade and do you feel that it’s worth the money.Whats the total cost of the upgrades?Thanks keep
Bashing
These are expensive upgrades, I think its about $600 in total just in upgrades. In stock form it runs well, you can change gearing to the 46t spur and get faster, for me this was worth it simply due to I don't like overheating issues that occur with stock setups, especially when pushed hard.
@@ExocagedRC I just bought this truck and it's my very first RC truck or car for that matter.I wanted something big and tuff that can take a beating.I say to myself that I won't modify it but who am I kidding.I also so to myself that I will only buy this truck but I know what's going to happen.I tend to get obsessive when it comes to hobbies.I start with one and end up with 10.I start with a stock one and then fully mod all of them.
I did watch the full video.I have watched another video where the guy used a metal plate to attach the ecu controller
So my stock 8S ESC smoked so I bought the max6 esc I’ve used it once and I’m not happy with it at all will this work with the 1600 KV stock motor
Crazy power for the size! Anyone know where I can get a xmaxx? Been looking for couple weeks now lol
Where did you get those little jack stands?
It rips !!
You should use some thermalpast for the sensor instead of glue
Yeah I just looked at your video haven't been on it for a while but wow was that fantastic got to give it to you nice build oh and another thing people with people I'm glad you told the truth people think he goes take 10 in 15 minutes to do they don't realize that take 4 hours everything is photoshopped or film chop however you want to say it I have a couple of friends that are convinced that these cars are unbreakable I tried to tell him know these people you see breaking their cause fix them and go back to the video and make it seem like the car don't break or they fix them right away everything takes time I tried to make people understand that everything you see on videos is not what it seems to be but I am so glad you told the truth like you said it looks like 10 minutes but in all reality it took you a couple of hours be cool brother like what you doing oh and don't send your stuff to the moon like other people do you got to be rich to pay for parts that are being broken
hey really enjoyed your videos!! do you think its ok to run this 800kv motor without a motor fan? what is your opinion on belt drivetrain?
I’ve never had a need to fan this motor. Besides it’s so huge just sticking a fan on it can’t do a whole lot.
Not a fan of belt drives. Every single one I’ve seen in person skips.
After running both the Castle mamba x 8s and the Hobbywing Max 5 which would you recommend and why?
How did the temperature wire that you glued onto the motor hold up? The motor doesn't melt the glue when it gets hot? Excellent build. Very impressive man. I would love to do the same but not sure where I would get a mount for the esc.
Wondering if you can help me
What gears are you running? And where can I get them.. also mine is also running half throttle I was going to call Castle creations
Question. If I'm running a 46 tooth spur, what pinion would you recommend I start with on this setup?
Probably a 40t to start. My ratio at the pinion/spur is 1.2-1. So calculate anything around there and you’ll be fine.
@@ExocagedRC perfect thank you. Was thinking 38t. Your the man 👍
How’s this hold up a year later ? Recommend it ?
Awesome job! How can we mount the esc is we go this route?
I'd mount it the same way, you can get these printed pieces from several sellers.

Can you run Dean ultra plugs on a 8s xmaxx
2020 truck is the redcat kaiju pure animal out the box backflip king but we all love the xmaxx still but sheshhhhhhhh got 400 kaiju is a insane rig
oh yeah I like the kaiju, Sean has one and it runs great.
Hey exo, where'd u get that esc mount from? That sits on the rails? Also how'd u hook up the.temp probe to the esc?
temp probe goes to the receiver, and its just glued onto the side of the motor. the ESC mount is printed
@@ExocagedRC thanks just printed one, I'm going to do this same setup, you recommend 30/35 gears as a starting point?
What lipo you running and the gearing you have
Did you mention what the gearing is?
Is that the same motor you put in the Kraton or is that one bigger?
Same motor but I have two of these castle setups now. Trying to get a 40t pinion for the Kraton to speed it up a bit.
What if I get a solid red light on the receiver. I have low voltage cutoff turned on in the castle app.
I believe that means the receiver isn’t getting signal.
Exocaged RC I’m a dummy! I have a castle Bluetooth link and it emits a red light. It was pointing towards the clear hole in the receiver box. Moving that out of the way shows the receiver is green... 😂 thanks though!
Thats fast as f!!k
Where did you get that motor! I've been trying to get that motor for over 6 weeks!
I got them as soon as I could. One on pre order and the other was the second batch. Gotta check Castle website
I would like to know how much did you spend on all the setup with gearing ESC and motor and I'm wondering if you upgraded the dips covers cuz with that kind of power you're probably be blowing them out oh nothing the diff covers that's a lot of powers looks like take by the way are you from Connecticut maybe I can come over and hang out my xmaxx is cool as yours LOL have fun and be safe always
Well I spent about another $550 worth on the motor esc mount and gears. LoL. It’s sad but true. If I’m recording and a bolt falls out I usually just fix those but I try to show the failures as best I can.
What are the run times?
Hello, Nice Video. Can you tell me please Where i can Get the Combo incl. Gearings in Germany ?
In Germany I honestly don’t know. You may be much cheaper with a Leopard brand motor and an off brand Max5 esc. You’ll pay top dollar to get one of these sent your way.
That thing is a tyre ripper alright, what fluids have you in the diffs?
They are stock, I haven't opened any of that up.
@@ExocagedRC I've just put 30f - 50r think o prefer stock
Might wanna consider a bigger wheelie bar?
That or a drag skid
84 kph is fast and off road 👍🏻
you are a cool person...👍
thank you
JUST WOW... YEA, CRAA-AAZZYY!!!
I have this same setup. I love but I keep blowing rear diff gear any idea what it could be?
I’ve broken a set of front gears. Are you landing while hard on the throttle? That can snap anything.
@@ExocagedRC maybe so. Im pretty decent at jumping. Are there upgraded parts for that?
I never thought I'd say this, but this seems like too much power actually. Hard to drive and will break driveline parts fast from what others are saying.
generally xmaxx clips dont to justice to its speed on video. but this looked so fast !!
I just gat this for my limitless but I haven’t put it yet
Why an 800kv for a limitless? I have a 1650 in mine and it’s awesome and I don’t need a crazy big pinion to get speed.
Exocaged RC well I didn’t know what to go with so my wife gat that for me so it’s two late lol
Could i use my traxxas 8s esc with a 800 kv or 1100 kv castle
Just like the Kraton it Sounds like Sharpening Knives
It is, a whole bunch of little ones. LoL
Ha ha
Silly fast dude
why do you use such a big pinion gear. wont a 18/54 set up work?
Wow
Now for belted tires...
Wow....
Hello if i buy the combo i have to make the same with sensored cable ? Thanks bro
You can do the same with a Hobbywing Max5 and 800kv. It’s just not sensored. The sensored castle is very responsive.
@@ExocagedRC if i dont want sensored i dont need to make that ? I already ordered this combo i love castle brand :)
Isn't " mod 1" when pinion an spur match like 45/45 ?
No. Mod 1 is the bigger sized pinions.
Gears sounded a bit loud. You sure it was on snug enough??
the video makes things like gear noise, and crickets and bugs along with squeaks way worse than they are, since this video I have had to change the spur gear...sooo maybe it wasn't quite right
I’m a rook so forgive me for all the questions. I am curious why you went w the castle monster X w 800 KV? Did it just increase the low end power? I know I’ve seen many going w the max 6 w the stock engine. Not sure I even understand why the need to change from the Traxxas ESC as is t it made by Castle for Traxxas? Also, why the extremely high pinion? Most guys are running a 50Spur and 20 Pinion. Does that combo add more power? I know it doesn’t seem to add much speed. I revamped my E-Revo and almost put in a Monster X esc and 1515 combo. I did everything else to it including changing diff fluid, adding the metal drive shaft, etc but kept the stock esc and engine. Once I upgraded the drive shaft and diffs. it flew like the wind. I just sick and tired of breaking the stupid rod ends every time out I am selling it!!! I bought an XMAXX w everything currently stock and haven’t had 1 break!!! I’ve done some crazy stuff w it too! I’m asking all these questions and doing this long post as I’m debating what upgrades to actually do. So your wisdom in the Castle Combo change as well as why the highest Tooth pinion gear I’ve heard of cold help out this rookie!! I know I’m going to up to a 50T Spur from CEN and 20 T pinion from Tekno, add a better servo-stirring is weak at best w stock, add some Pro line rear hubs, and add the Traxxas 7763T Shock shafts. But I just don’t understand the need to change the Esc Motor Combo yet. Doesn’t mean I can’t or won’t I just don’t yet see or understand the value. 😬😂. I’m subscribing as I just bought my first Arrma Mojave and I saw your comparison w the UDR!! No way I’d by the UDR after seeing that vid!! I don’t want to drop that kind of $ into a car and have to upgrade it so much I’m paying more in upgrades than the car. 😂. The Mojave is insane!!!! Anyway, any help would be much appreciated! I don’t mind wrenching and upgrading as that is so much fun for me. Any insight and input appreciated! Thanks jj
ok well I'll do my best to answer those, thank you fro subscribing. The reason for the bigger motor is power and durabiity, plus heat. The bigger motor is insanely strong but slow at 800kv so it needs that big pinion to get the speed back. The bigger motor move the truck easier and with the bigger bearings and all its just the better option. The stock motor and esc is good, biggest issue I've seen with that are the bearings, I have a buddy who's bearings went out after about 6 drives and completely killed the motor. On the Erevo 2.0 I did a video or two with mine when I had it, you can use limit straps from Hot Racing to save your ends from pulling apart. As far as mods in general go, many of us just like to tinker with things to see how they work so we change things and its not always for the better lol I have tuning videos and all kinds of stuff in the channel on a wide variety of vehicles you can look at. Hopefully I'll see your future comments as I don't get notifications like I used to. Hope that helps.
Exocaged RC thanks! I bought the Max5 and went with the 1100kv vs. the 800. I saw a few others including one of yours that had that in it and it seemed to have a great balance of speed and power. Do I need to go up in the pinion? I have a 50 T spur w a 20t pinion. Should I go up in either to get the speed? Thanks so much for the help jj
For that motor I’d probably run a 35-40t pinion. Great motor too. You’ll need a new pinion with an 8mm bore. Saga Customs sells on eBay and they’ll have what you need.
Exocaged RC thanks brother!
Didnt you just hook up temp sencer
Wont heat sink fit it
Did you change any setting on the esc?
other than arming time, motor rotation and lipo cutoff limits I don't think I did.
@@ExocagedRC what's arming time pls
just P. X that’s how long it takes to arm. Factory setting is 1.5 seconds. I turn that down as much as possible to 1 second
@@ExocagedRCthis is new to me, why do we do this why do u want a longer loading so to speak time how does this help🤔, thank for the reply, this seems like a good 1 for the back pocket so ur speed was well appreciated 💯🎩
just P. X just personal preference as best I can tell.
you should get the belted tires, like kevin has
Once I blow these up I’ll do something else. I had the Proline Badlands on the other truck and they did great.
@@ExocagedRC the heavy tires😬
RC Cheap Speed which ones would you recommend? Heavy tires do better backflips... those are important LoL.
