Max 6 can handle up to 8s. Pretty much the only difference. I have the max 6. It's super durable with a lot of power. Not sure about the price difference.

You can pick up a Hex6 for about $110 on Ebay.

I feel like the Hexfly esc's are just hobbywing ezrun rebrands for redcat

To make it more confusion there are two Hex6’s. One for up to 6s and one for 8s.

I guess the question is do you need 8s? If yes it will cost $30 more.
