Arrma RC's
  1. Kraton 8S
  2. Mojave
  3. Notorious
  4. Senton 6s
  5. Talion
O.K , so here is my problem , because I bought a Senton 6s slider , now I am moving an ESC/motor from car to car . If there is any of my RC's that I should put bigger electronics into , it should be the Mojave , right ????? It is a V1 , RTR with the BLX , not Spektrum . I def want to go HW 1650kv , but most I see everyone goes with the Max 6 . Why not a Max5 ? As I have a DBXL-E and SBR 2.0 that if for whatever reason want / need to change out the stock ESC , the Max 5 would be right at home in those big guys !!!
Is a Max 5 to big to waste into a Mojave ? Is it more dependable / have a better reputation over the Max 6 ? It is only about a $70 difference . The one thing I like about the Mo is you can pull the throttle 100% , and it takes off !!! I actually DON'T want it to be a wheelie machine , so adjust in the pinion and/or punch to try and resist it doing that ?
FWIW , I have a HW Max5 / 1100kv in my K8S , and it runs flawless/ cool !!!Thanks for the input !!
Or ,..... put it in my Talion ????

No reason to have a Max5 in the Mojave. Just driving around more money.
The Max 5 and 6 both don't fit in the Talion. The servo position prevents it.
Max6 ist perfect for the Mojave. .
Didn't know the Max 6 wouldn't fit the Talion !!!! Well , now that leaves put the BLX from my Mojave into my Senton ,and 1650kv into the Moajve

Are you sure the max 6 doesn't fit? it fits in the typhon so I find that kind of hard to believe. I have a max 6 in the bin somewhere but I don't feel like trying it. Currently running an mmx8s and it fits fine.

I say go for it, change the bearings on the motor and run 8s too. Max 5 will stay super cool Id imagine. I know some people put in xlx2 so I don't see why not a max 5.
 
Max 6 fits in the talion. You have to move the esc back 6mm/1/4" on the plate essentially losing one mounting hole if your pinning it through the bottom.
 
Max 6 fits in all 6s rigs. Max5 would def be a sqeeze. Just bash it makes a vertical mount for the max5 that i used on a stretched mojave running 8s though. Pics of one of my two talions running a max6 and the stretched mojave.

If you slam the Talion on the body in a crash the Max6 ESC will get the full load. Would not do it.
