Limitless Going fast on a budget..??

[arrma_tigger]

Yesterday my new limitless with max5 ecs, stock blx motor, stock servo, stock gearing 27/34 in 6s did 101 miles/h and it had some more(with grps old)!!!

Is this a bash setup .. or speed runs? I'd possibly like to get more out of my infraction (currently stock).

What would be good
What would be a good castle setup for 8s?

For what purpose? Speed runs or bashing?

Bashing mostly with some speed runs if that's possible

They are two completely different use cases. Speed pass is a few seconds of use. Bashing is a full pack, usually 10 mins or more.

If you want to do both, it would be much more wise to buy two cars. Set each up for the intent and you will be much happier and successful.

Okay if you put it that way, then I want it for bashing.

Would you suggest this with the xlx or mmx8s?

I personally would go for the mmx8s and the new 1717.
Innovation RC has a few vids up already, e.g. this one:

1717/MMX8S combo

To me the XLX is too much drama. You have to get the settings just right for it to run good.
The MMX8s you could plug it in and go fast right out of the box. Plus it runs cool and due to the revised control methods the motor runs cooler also.

As mentioned in Brandon's video he was doing 127mph and everything was just barely 10-15 degrees over ambient temps. That is very impressive!

MMX8S and the new 1717 is what I’ll have in my Mojave... who knows maybe some naughty boy bought 2 esc’s just so he could sneak one in his limitless ?.. paired with a 1580kv hobbystar motor....

 

[rahul5454]

Thanks guys. So with the mmx8s/1717 setup, would you run it on 8s for regular bashing or ideally just do it on 6s?

Depends on gearing. With a mild setup you could bash on 8S. Say 18T/50T maybe? You will have to start low and check temps and logs. If all goes well, go up a few teeth and try that. Keep bumping up until you thermal. With the sensored motors, you can set a thermal cutoff for the ESC and motor at a temp of your choosing. You can even get telemetry data on your radio if compatible.
