Does anyone know if or when Hobbywing will release the Max 6 G2?

I already have the Max 8 G2 in my Talion and like it. I was looking to upgrade my Fireteam with the new Max 6 G2 since the car is bigger and heavier. I know the current Max 6 will be more than enough, but I'm not in a rush so I figured I would wait for the G2.

I wondered the same thing. Might as well pickup a little extra ampacity...

Aren't both the Max8 G2 and the Max 6 rated to exactly the same amperage? 160A continous and 1050A peak.

Are you implying that if they release a Max6 G2 it will have a higher ampacity than the current model?

Would also love to know if anyone has any info on this. It makes logical sense that they will, i guess its just a case of when.

I know that’s what HW says but I don’t buy it. The Max6 is much bigger and I highly doubt the Max8 G2 can handle the same loads without overheating.

HW launched G2 versions of the Max10 and Max8 within the last six months. I’d be surprised if a Max6 G2 wasn’t around the corner.

They did up the amperage on the Max 8 to 160. I like the sensored motor combo of the Max 8 G2. I would hope that the new Max 6 would be sensored and have a new matching sensored motor.
