Hobbywing MAX8, does it need the cap pack (4x4 3S Chassis ; TP4030)?

I got tp4030-2070kv for senton 6s.ran it once with 16/46 an it got warm behind 8BL150.was gonna try behind max8 next.i thought it would run cooler.ill try it again when it warms up..motor is rated for 29 volts.thought it would be awesome like my tp4050

Why does that motor look so small? It looks more like a 3650 than a 4068.

It does look small,maybe cause it has no fans on it.not impressed after 1 short run.ill try it again when wheather is nicer.heres surpass 4068 & 4067 tp

@slick2500 According to TP, it isn't even a 4068. TP says it is a 40x63 can, so it is a good amount shorter than a normal 1/8 scale can.
This is why I personally wouldn't use it in an 1/8 scale (for that, I would go TP4040 [=> 40x74] or up), but I think it is a great motor to give a 1/10 scale some good power without gowing overboard.

@K-BASH
The 4050 seams to really pack some punch.
How is it on 6S? I mean is obviously has more power than the stock motor, but does it stack up to bigger cans? Would you say it is more comparable to a Rocket 4082 or 4092?

Yeah, it is still running, and I love it!

I'm currently running the car with a 21 tooth pinion on Louise ST Mcross tires.
It moves on 3S! On gravel, The Accleration & Top Speed were comparable to my Kraton V4 with a 13t pinion on 6S. It wheelies from the start, and it can wheelie up to middle speeds (with the ST Mcross tires, I pulled Wheelies on Gravel at 40+ km/h).
But it gets pretty hot in the summer, although it haven't overheated it yet (I have a 40mm fan + fan shroud on the motor). Also, it eats through batteries (a 6000mah 3S pack is gone in 10 minutes or less).

I also did a few speedruns on Proline 2.8 Prime tires (which are MT tires, I normaly drive this thing on ST tires) and it reached 109,84 km/h (~ 68,25 mp/h). But I wouldnt recommend running this gearing on MT tires, then it will probably overheat while bashing.
How do you compare hw-tp-3s setup compared with stock blx??do your packs get hot on hard running??
If you plan on running the motor setup on ST or SC tires & using 3S, the motor is great for that (Definitely don't get a higher kv than 3267! The 2750kv might also work, but then you need to run the 25 tooth pinion for the same results as I have with the 21, so no options to keep gearing up).
If you plan on running MT or 1/8 Buggy tires & using 3S, then going with a little lower kv might be a good idea.
If you plan on running 4S, you need to get a lower kv (I asked Hobbywing, the MAX8 is only 4S rated up to 3000kv).
But if you plan on running 4S or MT tires, a Hobbywing 4068 2600kv might also do the trick,

Oh ya.ive got a rocket 4092 & leopard 4082
The 4050 is 40×82 an its got more power than them both them on 6s.the thing is it runs way cooler than any other motor ive had.in 45ish degree wheather I had mojave with 5.4inch tires with 20/50 gearing an hard running max6 & tp an neither got over 110.my packs got the hottest outa everything.could gear up,but I'm already blowing sidewalls out 2.8 belted duratrax.not many tires can handle the rpms.this 130$ same size tp4050-2100kv absolutely blows the 90$ leopard 4082 2000kv away in power,temp,an will take 8s fine.

The 4030 i got is 40×67.supposse to take 29volts.it got warmer than I expected.im getting a typhon soon,if I can't keep it cool ill put it in 7lb typhon an run it on 5s.
