Outcast Mamba XLX2 combo for Outcast ?

[BashingBrian]

So my question..

Really really tempted to get the new Mamba xlx2 but not sure what combo to go for 1100kv or 800kv.
I know the 800kv has crazy torque but I fancy some speed too without having to use a giant pinion..!!

I need to get it right because this thing will cost me a fortune in shipping and customs etc..?

Any suggestions..??
Thx??

I think you answered your own question mate ???

I have a couple 800 kv. I’d like to try a 1100. But I don’t think I’d notice a difference.

I think the 1100 is gonna be a game changer ??..

I just think the xlx2 is a bit overkill ??? the outcast and kraton 8s are pretty damn fast with just the standard 2028 combo ??‍ Don’t think the price difference will be worth the gain you’ll get.

How much is the combo?

1100kv it is then...???

I can't believe Brandon did consecutive 100mph+ runs with his K8s with the 1100kv combo..!!?

How much is the combo?

$470 at Amain ??

I know, that was nuts!

You know I want one....too much invested in RC at the moment ??

I'll race you to being the first XLX2 / 1100kv power Outcast 8s ????

 

[Rcproponent]

Your gonna win... lol. Already have a max 5 and hobbystar 5692 850kv waiting for her ?. I haven’t even run it yet, today might be the day. Ha!

cant wait to see yours tho!

How much real world difference will there be between the 800kv and 1100kv ??

Run time, torque vs speed, heat ?

Great question. I’d like to know too. To me it’s odd that the kv ratings are so close.

Brandon mentions in one of his vid's that the 1100kv will improve run times ?
I agree with you @Clubin it does seem really weird that the kv's are so close .....

@robert@castle ... I've tagged you into this just on the off chance you could maybe explain it to us..?? ???
Thx

Both the 800kv and 1100kv are the same 2028 sized cans.. the 1100kv will have way more torque than other motors in that KV range, and will be closer gear-wise to what the 1250KV stock motor asked for of the transmission. So no need to run some crazy huge pinion or find a spool gear to replace the larger spur gear.

It will be I think the ideal motor for people wanting the most out of the K8s/O8s rigs.

Get both and report back.

If I end up keeping my limitless that 1100kv mill will be installed!

The way we produced the 1100kv, it has about 75% of the resistance of the 800kv so if you are putting the same power through the motor less power will be lost to heat. The peak power output of the 1100kv is slightly higher because of this lower resistance.
To get the same speed, you would have to gear the 1100kv lower than you would have to gear the 800kv, so the amperage would be lower because the motor would not have to work so hard.

I don't know that this would be that noticeable to run time, but it might add 30 seconds or so if geared for the same speed.

Will do...?????

Great video published last night! This should help you chose the right one. Cough... 1100kv

So, for those of us who have preordered an ESC/motor combo, when are these bad boys going to start shipping?

Ordered just the esc on 9/25. I emailed them about a timeframe and they said they're being produced now and being shipped throughout October

Thanks Brian just grabbed the max6 combo .
