Infraction Esc upgrade fimra 160 vs max6

[Haroneezy]

Infraction v2 esc smoked on me so debating on which one should I get the firma160 or max6? Motor is good but would the combo be better? Keep in mind only running 6s
Thanks y’all

if you're spending that much, just get the castle mmx8s

max6 is $159
firma160 is $199, unless you get one from jenny's
mmx8s is $194

sounds like your end points or something wasn't set correctly. i gained mph going from a max6 to mmx8s

I got them both and I believe the max 6 has more power. Just me tho idk for sure. But Bec is 6 or 8 no 7.4 with the spektrum

between those two, i would do the max6

Just so everyone knows the Firma 160a esc is just a rebranded Max6 with the Spektrum Smart features added and slightly different programming options.

And if I was gonna do $200 I wouldn't go castle, Id get a max5 personally. I've had my fill of tekin/castle/novak lol.
