Outcast Recommend me a spicy ESC/motor combo

[ross_jsy]

Hey guys

My OC has gone from seemingly uncontrollable, to feeling fast, to feeling quick and now I have a few packs into my X maxx with an 1100kv/Max 5 it has confirmed I want to bump the power up Plus I am hitting thermal cut out fairly often now and don't really want to drop gearing.

So I am looking for something to make it feel ballistic again basically. Is a Max 6/4985 1650KV (still on 6s) the one to do that or are there other suggestions?

Also the missus has said I can have it for Christmas so there is that too! Be quick, we know that is usually a trap

I would say either the Max6/1650kv combo or the MMX8s/1650kv combo would be great. Can't go wrong with either combo imho. I have 2 Max6/1650kv combos and really enjoy them. Whenever I decide that I want more power out of the Fireteam I am going to try the MMX8s/1650kv combo.

XLX2 and 2028-1100kv

I have the MMX 8s and 1717 1650 system in my Kraton 6s. It's a beast - it can do a 360 degree back flip from a standing start on grass, and no part of the vehicle hits the ground until it lands on the wheels and takes off.

MMX8s, XLX2 combo, max6 combo are the 3 best options.

MMX8S and TP 4050

Max 6 combo might be a bit small for an X-Maxx. You wouldn’t be getting the power you want. Go for their new Max 4 combo or go Castle XLX2 with an 800ish kv motor and tell Santa thank you.

I think he's asking for suggestions on a combo for the Outcast.. if not, then I'm still saying MMX8S and TP for the Xmaxx lol.. except a 5840s instead of a 4050

I guess I missed any reference to the Outcast? If that’s what he wants it for then I would highly recommend the Max 6 1650kv combo.

Definitely for the Outcast, sorry for the confusion. My X Maxx I have just installed a Max5/1100kv which has made me want more power in my OC.

Cheers for the suggestions guys, I went with the Max6 1650kv combo. I have been put off Castle or at least the XLX2 with reliability issues when bashing.

I like the look of TPs though and I have a standard Talion I recently picked up looking at me. That chassis could definitely handle a lot of power

To be fair it's hard not to standing backflip with the Outcast even over geared/m2c'd up, and even the completely stock Talion will land one comfortably. Both stock BLX185 (but ear plugged centre diffs).

Max 6 combo might be a bit small for an X-Maxx. You wouldn’t be getting the power you want. Go for their new Max 4 combo or go Castle XLX2 with an 800ish kv motor and tell Santa thank you.

I went with the Max 5 to give me headroom to use the 800kv but most things I read said it's too big in the X and go for the 1100KV. I am going to have to order an 800kv and a 35t mod 1.5 pinion and find out I guess

Max 8 g2 2250 combo has been awesome in my 6s kraton and it’s the same amps as the max 6

Going with the spektrum 150a ESC should be all the SPICE you ever need. Just wait for the BBQ feature to kick in.

It happened when I wasn’t expecting it, so I don’t have a video. My next door neighbor witnessed it though.
