You shouldn't need shims actually I forgot they are straight cut gears plus you will not be getting enough traction to hurt it lol.
What shims should i get and is it easy to do ive never done it before
A @PPS-RC mount would be nice but not completely necessary.
Do i need to purchase just 1 set of those shims? Also do i need wires to run from the esc to the motor? and what are good xt90 connectors to solder onto the esc?Incorrect: Just because it has straight cut gears does not mean they shouldn’t be shimmed.
Mugen E0206 shim kit is what you need. Your diffs will thank you.
The shims come in a bunch of different sizes (whether one pack has only one size or the pack has multiple sizes in the one) to use throughout the rig or multiple rigs. Grab as many packs as you feel necessary! When you buy a new motor, most motors will come with soldered wires or the wires are in the package and need to be soldered on the motor. XT90 are high current connectors. Usually find them in packs of 5 or 10, found on Ebay. Make sure the Ebay seller has a good rep as they will usually carry the better made connectors.Do i need to purchase just 1 set of those shims?

Ive never installed shims before is it a huge pia?The E0206 shim kits includes (6) large bevel gear shims and (12) sungear shims. Enough kit will accomodate three complete diffs.
No. It just takes a little trial and error.Ive never installed shims before is it a huge pia?

Thanks dude, this has also helped me understand what's needed for a Max6 combo install I'm considering for my NotoriousI have this setup in my limitless right now and have been pleasantly surprised by the performance.
The Max6 will come with unfinished wires to the battery, so you will have to solder on whatever plugs you use with your batteries. The included motor wires will reach the esc if you mount it with the 3 sockets closest to the motor.
The holes in the stock esc tray line up with the holes in the bottom of the Max6 esc if you wish to bolt it in instead of using the included double sided tape.
Happy to help.Thanks dude, this has also helped me understand what's needed for a Max6 combo install I'm considering for my Notorious
I run the optional 16t pinion in the stock BLX185 system with a Hobbywing fan, however with the weather getting hotter I'm getting thermal cut-out once or twice every run on 6s. Do you run a fan on your Max6 1650kv motor? If so which one?
Let me know on how well it fits and if they look like they blow hard dude ?I bought the powerhobby with the 2 turbo fans, i haven't installed the build yet but im excited for my infraction
I have the powerhobby dual fan on my Outcast 6s and keeps the motor nice and cool. After running a full 6s pack the motor is ~130 degrees.Let me know on how well it fits and if they look like they blow hard dude ?
Thanks buddy. Just to confirm, your Powerhobby fan is mounted on a HW 4985 1650kv motor, right? Did it take any mods to get it to fit?I have the powerhobby dual fan on my Outcast 6s and keeps the motor nice and cool. After running a full 6s pack the motor is ~130 degrees.
That’s a negative! Sorry, running on the stock system. The HW is larger in diameter. The fan kit comes with spacers for larger cans. Didn’t need them for the stock 2050kv.Thanks buddy.
