Mamba xlx2 1100kv in my limitless gt

Welcome to my build log of a 2 week old Senton BLX V3. Personal background: I've been in and out of the hobby since around 2000. owned and raced everything from micros to 5th scale gassers, electric, nitro and gas. I prefer crawlers the most and this senton is my truck for when I need a break...

There are a few threads floating around that provide some solutions to the best heatsink (and fan fit) for the Limitless. I wanted to do a fresh call out to see if anyone has found an 'off the shelf' solution recently for the Castle 1717 fit. I'm mid build and looking for the best solution at...

I want to put in the Castle 1717 1650KV motor and esc in my Arrma Felony and run it on 8s. I am looking to do high speed runs (90 mph+) along with drifting. What gearing should I go with that won’t overheat my system?

Looking to upgrade my electronics in my 1/5 EXB. I like how convenient the SMART technology is with the Spektrum batteries, esc ex... but the 160A is just not enough. Will they ever make a 200A or will we have to rely on the max5, XLX2? Will they turn the EC8 connectors into IC8s so they will...

I have been working on a Mojave exb build I have Kraton rpm arms all around Kraton drive shafts And steering links and turn buckles Iam running duratrax lockup 17mm 3.8mt Castle 1717 1260kv with 8s Kraton heat sink Working on getting fans installed mama a monster x 8s with power hobby 40mm x...

I am changing out the ESC in my felony to a castle creations 1/6 mamba monster x 8s 33.6v and what motor would you recommend to run with that?

Does anyone run the 1650kv castle motor on 6s? I was planning on going to this motor with the mamba monster x esc, and keeping it on 6s. I mostly wanted to do this because it's capable of 8s, so I know it won't have any overheating issues on 6s. But I'm not really sure what gearing would be...

Build thread for my beast of a noto! I bought a roller based on a v3 platform, with these upgrades: m2c chassis, voltage hobbies towers and braces, hr servo saver, proline trencher 3.8s. Ran it on a hobbywing max 8 combo and realised the diffs were also shot. So now it has: 1) all metal diffs...

I started modifying an 8s heatsink to fit the Castle 1717, but as i was sliding it on/off I noticed that it was wearing the paint on the heatsink in just a few small places, which indicated to me that it wasn't getting good contact for heat transfer. Since the 1717 can has built-in fins, I...

So i have a typhon mega..i blew out my front a arm the other day so i replaced with rpm ...i have also installed some pro-line shocks(rear only at the moment)..since upgrading to castle sidewinder 8th system (running 4s lipo) ... i blew out my rear main gear the plastic sheared off.. im...

So yes you read the headline. I got a castle sidewinder 8th esc and 2200kv motor w a 20t pinion on a kraton exb 6s. I programed the esc the first time i turned it on. But I want to change the settings. How do I reset to factory default with the transmitter? Everyone on youtube I found just shows...

I got a Used & abused 6s typhon from eBay for 150$ I couldn’t pass it up. With a little TLC and $$$$ I’m gonna have this thing looking like a 2021 v6. Lol ? It came with hot racing bulk head covers front and rear :) GKA chassis braces, hot racing motor mount/diff cover that I won’t be using...

Hello, I'm looking more and more to the Mojave EXB. I thing it could be my next purchase. There is just one thing that I would like to see is better suspension travel, like in the UDR and Losi Baja Rey. I own the UDR and the way that this thing land after a jump is always "uh !?! :oops:" (even...

I recently installed a Castle Creations 1717 (1650KV) motor with a Mamba Monster X 8s ESC. My questions are: Do you know of any heatsinks that fit this motor? Do you know of any fans that would fit on your recommended heatsinks? For context- I’m running a Tekno 20t pinion and the factory...

I am looking to upgrade my electronics and motor. I'm a newbie and found HW and CC to be the standard for bashers! I'm looking at the CC- Monster X w/1515 (2250kV) motor OR HW Xerun XR8 plus w/4274 SD G2 (2250kv) motor? What are some thoughts out there..why CC over HW? Oh yeah, no comments...

Hey all! I was hoping that someone will be able to help me figure out what's wrong with my MMX ESC. I've got it running on my Kraton EXB with the Castle 2200kv 1515 sensored motor on the stock EXB 12 tooth pinion, a Castle 1515 motor cooling fan and I'm running it on 4S power only. So it will...

I've done it. I've gone full potato. EXB Roller with a MMX8S pushing a Castle 2028. Tons of upgrades: M2C, JBI, Hot Racing - the works. Almost everything is in hand, and I have started assembling this insanity. Progress will be slow, but there will be progress. I plan on documenting each part...

I plan on purchasing a 2028 / 800KV sensored Castle motor, but I'm not entirely sure which ESC I should buy to match it. The Mamba Monster X 8S is sensored, however I'm not 100% sure how beneficial that really is for efficiency/torque/speed. The XLX is (I believe?) a beefier ESC so I am leaning...
