Looking at Turning my typhon 6s into 8s

[Peter Nasser]

Hi All.
I have a max6 combo with 200A esc. New G2 model. Is this possible to fit into my Thypon 6s with moving parts around or will I need to rebuild the car into a new chassis. Anyone do e this that can share some tips.
Currently it’s a v4 6s stock electronics, running 46t spur and 30 pinion and I’m reaching 146km /91 MPH. I’m wanting to turn it into a speed run car.
Looking at getting 125MPH
Appreciate it.
Peter

Welcome to the forum. A Max6 4990 combo will fit in the Typhon 6S without any mods.

125mph may be doable. I’d guess yes under the right conditions. The ESC will be the limiting factor, as Hobbywing programs them to limit current under prolonged, heavy load. That is why every serious speed runner uses a Castle ESC.
