I agree, that the K8S servo is no longer "standard size " as we see in most 1/10 through 1/8 scale. And the modular tray design may limited with many other large scale servos.
I’m hoping some of the new 1/6th scale hobbystar motors will fit.
@bicketybam is talking about The Servo dimension I believe....
60mm depth max. allowed? I don't believe shimming a few mm is possible due to steering geometry etc. and its relationship to that unique servo saver. I bet aftermarket may address that.
Eric went with a 23...53 mph per gps?
Watch my unboxing vid and you will see what I am talking about.A 49mm diameter "can" may have more grunt. 110mm can length may be the limit for the K8S due to space limitations.

Watched it, and subbed, I’m going to call my LHS and see if they will sell it to me today, how did you get them to sell it to ya? Cool!
I drooled all over it yesterday ??? and the color I want❤
Yeah... I'm so stoked for Ed! Watched his unboxing (already a sub! ?) looking forward to the outcome ??
Tell him to eat a bag of peepee's! ????
I did not type peepee's???
I just honestly get super pod whenever I'm on FB rc pages and I get pointlessly irritated. They're a necessary evil at times for videos and information but I can't stand at the side when someone says bam put in a max5 for no reason. It's like boondock saints and the good men doing nothing thing lmao. Anyway sorry too much Thanksgiving "spirits" don't mind me.
That's why I don't post a lot on Facebook brother.... Especially rc sites! Too many know it all's that are probably 12!???
Drink on and breathe ? Ed is no newb ????
I tried hard too. I even showed them the 1K in my wallet to no avail. I finally got the owner to spill that Arrma made them sign that they would not sell it until the official shipping date which is the 6th. I guess some shops DGAF when green is involved. Just in case, I put my own lock on it so it can't be ran. Yes, I did come prepared
The one thing I refuse to understand is that Horizon has all the ability to announce a car & have it available nationwide the same day, but they still let Arrma mostly control their pathetic no cars, no parts, mega hype sell practices. ALL of Losi releases dating back to the 1st 1/10 Rock Rey were in my LHS the same day as release. OTOH, in the last 3 yrs, only the Mojave was there for Arrma. I also know that they get the Losi stuff about a week in advance while they might or might not get it on the shipping date with Arrma. They were surprised that the Mojave actually showed up because they were watching Arrma under the hood video of it when FedEx came with 5 of them. This is what is pissing off ppl at my LHS. I know that only 2 of the Kratons have buyers . . . the same 2 that bought the Mojave. BTW, if you're wondering when they got the Maxx, it was the same damn day it showed up on Trx's website, the demo & 10 production models , & Trx didn't make them sign anything. I could have walked out with the demo if I wanted to, but instead, I drove it until I screwed the rear diff
Yeah alot guys don't understand. The motor creates the amp draw. Brushed or brushless. It's an old concept. The ESC can only deliver what it was designed to output to that motor. The battery is also part of the ESC equation. But for some guys that gets too complicated. And there are too many armchair quarterbacks on FB that never threw a football before.
I put the Max5 in for one reason: I'm going to be adding an aftermarket motor that would be too much for the stock ESC. Now as to what motor that ends up being, I haven't decided. But I will definitely be going bigger so I figured I might as well get the ESC side sorted now ???Yeah alot guys don't understand. The motor creates the amp draw. Brushed or brushless.
