Judge my Outcast 8s exb build please

[RCSteve]

I’m about to build my outcast 8s EXB Roller (GO SALES!) and would like to know what people think should go into a proper build. My build is a max5 g2 combo with a 5690 1250kv sensored motor, a JX servo ($44 or so on amazon, cheap and effective), 27tooth pinion, and my radio is a fly sky noble pro. Do people think you need a 113mm motor or does that just make the car heavier.

Probably just a fan on the motor.

Going to put two 40mm x 28mm to keep it cool, want to run it one time so the Fluke can tell the temps

I put that combo in the kraton and it’s crazy running 32/20 mod 1.5 gears. Motor got 167 with no fans in high 80s. Just did another run with the fans 157 on motor and it was mid 90s out. I upped the punch to 6 and messed with the timing too. I think that’s a good set up for the O8 IMHO.

How did that Jx servo work out, I am thinking about one myself?

 

[RCSteve]

Works well in the O8s, I also use those servos for my 4ws axial scx6 too and have zero problems. They are plenty fast and strong at 8.4v and they are cheap.
