Typhon TP/SSS Motor for bashing?

[perfex]

Hello Guys, i'm looking for a ESC/Motor Upgrade for my Typhon v4.
Can i put a longer Motor like TP 4070 or SSS 4092 in my Typhon maybe with an XLX?
I just want to use my Typhon for on road bashing not for speedruns and i want the longer motor because i like the way it looks on a stretched Typhon

Please excuse any errors in my languge i'm from Germany

Yes with a stretch Typhon, the 4070 CM is a very popular motor as well as the XLX.

Thank you glad to hear that

Yes as long as you are using bashing gearing.

I would highly recommend going with the MMX8s instead of the XLX
It will go just as fast but run cooler

thank you! thats a good idea. i think the mmx8s is a better esc for bashing.

maybe someone can give me a recommendation which TP Motor 4070 for my build? maybe with 2080kv?

 

[LibertyMKiii]

If you are running on 6s for light bashing 2080kv should run fairly cool. Still may need fans.

How much Ampere is the maximum for the MMX8s?
XLX is maximum 350Ampere right?

They aren't supposed to have an amp limiter, but according to Raz Shifrin the XLX logs max out at around 330A. Warning this video is long, but worth your time if you are new to speed runs.

I spoke with one of the engineers at Castle he stated that the MMX8s does not have limiting on it like the XLX has.

We have a thread about the MMX8s where I shared a video of Phillip Jolley matching his personal best with the XLX on a Typhon 6s at 143mph now using the MMX8s also at 143mph.

I will say the MMX8s has 30 MOSFETS versus 48 in the XLX, but the new control software methods are clearly better. Lower heat, no cogging (even when sensorless), and excellent performance.

XLX has proven to be like a LiPo.... powerful but also volatile. The new MMX8s appears to be just as powerful but not volatile. Zero reports of going up in flames. That happens too often with the XLX sadly.

That same engineer told me it has 2.5x the capacitance. I'm not certain that an external cap pack is necessary.
