@@Sheldinator yea I think it just depends on your style of bashing, for guys like us who do alot of jumps and stunts couple rocket fans and were gold, the people that complain are usually who rip through big open fields full throttle, that will def heat up the motor, I don’t bash like that so I don’t have issues with most motors🤙🤙🤙
@@omega_rc yesterday i was giving alot of bashing just jumping and afterwards doing speedruns. I spent 6 hours yesterday bashing. Obviously i did stop the truck to change batteries and have talks with my buddies but didnt go over 40 degrees. Most of the time it was around 35
So you were still able to get all four screws under the truck? Debating on pulling the trigger on this motor because I got the max6 G2 and it cogs with the stock motor. But I do not want to change the mount because this is by far the best motor mount since it supports the entire motor. Also I wish this motor was lower KV. How’s it running? I don’t really want my truck any faster. It’s 18/50 gearing now so I may have to drop down to 17/50.
@@SVCprints yep! Stock motor mount is the best,cheapest and lightweight mount you will ever find. Yes 4 screws are mounted the same as stockmotor. Only thing required is drilling a hole in the motor cap for the motor to sit into the plastic mount. The old hobbying motors are recomended for easier installation as those ones are a tad shorter and will fit easier. G2 will still fit, but its a tighter fit as its a tad longer. Hope this helps! Subscribe! 😃
@@Sheldinator still running good on 8s with that KV as well? Wish it was a tad lower KV rating but if it works it works! Just tired of this cogging with the max 6 gen 2 and stock motor
@@SVCprints it works just dont over gear it . If you want to make sure you have 8s powered 1650 kv without issues, mount the 1650 g2 as that is 8s compatible.
Simple just drilled two holes in the hobbywing motor plate to match the traxxas mount. Compare the traxxas motor next to the hobbywing one. Youl understand better. I can help you if you have questions
Thanks for your genious idea, but I would like to know did you drill two holes on both front and back plates? If yes, how do you locate the holes and how deep did you drill? BTW, is the motor still waterproof after drilling? Your answering is appreciated.
@@Sheldinator I'm still prompting to know how to accurately locate two protrusions of the rubber motor mount on the plate of the motor? Hope I make myself clear.
Its held from both sides with one screw and then mounted with 4 screws from the bottom like stock mount system. Its basically almost exactly like setting the mount on the stock motor but on the 1650 kv instead. Just a bit more tideous to put on but works perfect.
Hey buddy ! Works just the same as the stock one. You can still move it left and right. Thanks for watching, please a like and subscribe to see a special unboxing coming up 💪
@@bryantlaprade8477 ye much less hastle with this mount cause truck would be much lighter and mount doesnt bend like metal motor mounts on high impacts, especially skateparks.
Did your hobby wing motor have the temp sensor plug on the rear plate because that’s the only kind I can find anywhere just making sure your fix doesn’t only work on v1 and the changed the design
I am trying to look for the right video, but can somebody tell me would you recommend doing this if you only take your x max out? Immaculate condition I have had this vehicle for three months. The only things I haven’t done is the gearing up to date and the motor mount say anything I have done it! Most of the car is aluminium with the original motor and the original ESC immaculate condition!
@Sheldinator did u need any modification or additional shims/spacers to fit the stock rear endbell to the 1650kv? I have the firma 1250kv i believe they share the same internals
@@ajdvra8857 hi there ! Not really., you will be unlocking a new set of gear ratio range when changing to higher kv. Since its a faster motor, the gearing will be aimed towards achieving better torque since jts already fast
I tried this with 4985 1250kv and it was not straightforward on the back of the motor. The Traxxas backplate does not physically fit without modification and if it did the axle would not run sufficiently up on the axle. Modifying the hobbywing backplate is too much without the proper tools, but I am sure it is doable for someone adventurous.
@@Sheldinator for sure. I still did it it with the g2 but I had to do a bunch of cutting modifying and dodgey things that will most likely come back and bite me with a snapped motor shaft. One way to find out though right.

Can now confirm. its very epic..
I was thinking this should be possible :) - Thank you for verifying - Good job!

Hell ye dude 1650 doesnt even heat up. Dont know the why people complain about heat

appreciate the video but i still don't understand what you did with the pins on the front motor mount piece

Take off the plate from the motor and drill just enough for the rubber to hold onto the motor, no need to go all the way through.
@@Sheldinator I'm still prompting to know how to accurately locate two protrusions of the rubber motor mount on the plate of the motor? Hope I make myself clear.
So the motor is only held into the mount with 1 screw tho right? Or am i missing something?

Great idea! What happens if you want to run a bigger pinion though?

I literally just ordered the max6/1650kv combo 2 hours ago. Bought a aftermarket aluminum mount with it. Wish I would have seen this a bit earlier 😂

Yes it had it before, but i removed it. Its pointless if your not using traxxas esc.
This doesn’t work with the new 1650kv g2 motor. It’s longer and not a easy swap.

@@TRPAL_MOTOR Hi TRPAL, stock xmaxx is already one of the best rc cars out their, if you wish to upgrade, this is a good option but not necessary
@Sheldinator did u need any modification or additional shims/spacers to fit the stock rear endbell to the 1650kv? I have the firma 1250kv i believe they share the same internals
No spacers needed. Fits like a glove
Gear options are few tho.?
@@ajdvra8857 hi there ! Not really., you will be unlocking a new set of gear ratio range when changing to higher kv. Since its a faster motor, the gearing will be aimed towards achieving better torque since jts already fast
@@SheldinatorHow small of a pinion can you fit on there? Mod 1 or 1.5?
@@keldonator mod 1 works best.
Is it a 4990??
Hi Brandon! can size is 4985. leave a like and subscribe if your new would be awesome help for this channel :)
What size fan’s brother!?😮
Stock size
Hey thanks for the reply! One more question… the temp sensor on the back of the 1650kv what u do cut the cables? Just cap them?
BTW SUBSCRIBED!
@@jasonramirez1074 thanks !, temp sensor can be removed if you run an esc which is not traxxas stock esc, wont work if its hobbywing or something else

all it needs is 2 holes into the plate to match the plastic mount. if you need any help feel free to ask here when setting up.
@@Sheldinator you could make a video of you modifying the backplate.
@@MegaNurri sure, il mention this process in my next video on another build im doing

You can still do this using other brands of motors such as castle and rocket motors.
