Kraton Should I move from 800kv to 1100kv?

I would be scared to drive 1/5 at 65MPH.

That won't work for the kraton 8s spur the spur must look like this on the bore https://www.ebay.com/itm/2340826670...hsusdgmsj-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Many of us run the limitless spurs with setscrew and red locktight long before Arrma came out with the smaller 8s spur. Mine been in there for a couple years...

Me also. Seems like I'm on the 2-year plan for that.

Hi guys - I'm currently running an XLX2 with 800kv (39/39) in my K8S, can I achieve a higher top speed or am I maxxed out with my gearing? Reason I ask is that & thinking about buying a 2nd motor...the 1100kv...is this considered an 'upgrade', will I see a higher top speed & is it worth it or am I burning my money

As a side note, I've yet to play with my timing/punch settings etc & in fact, my ESC settings are at stock standard - I do have the USB link so maybe I should play with the settings first...

Cheers!

Same motor brother just reaching max power at different rpms go down in spur gear see what you get out of that watch temps everything good go up in pinion.

I like to gear all my big rigs for 65 mph.

What tires do you use?
