Infraction What to get for infraction 8s

[balonybolt]

Haven’t done much to my infraction, bought some hot racing fans and heat sink that’s coming in the mail, I want to eventually go 8s but I don’t know where to start, any tips?

MMX8S for the ESC
Motor is more wide open and depends on usage. Speed running you can go up to 2200kv, but for parking lot bashing probably safer down to the 1200-1700kv range.

What Jon said.

myself.......I went el cheapo route, but wanted that factory look. I installed the K8s motor esc combo. No complaints on my end.

I’m waiting for my MMX8S to arrive. I have the Firma 1250kv motor already. I don’t have plans for 8S yet, but will at some point.

That’s the new esc right?

You could also go the Max6 route, which allows up to 8s. Then same situation with the motor. The MMX8S is the newer, better ESC but thought I would throw that out there as well.

Yes sir

Going 8s on my infraction as well. Max6 ESC is ordered and Is will have to wait on thé spectrum 1250kv untill it's available in my country .
I checked out the mmx8s but...
- also not available yet around here
- and pretty expensive
Think thé max6 and spektrum will do fine as Well.

 

[Misterp1981]

Question to thé more experienced guys (and girls)
here.
I ordered thé MAX6 for my infraction but I also have a Dynamite Fuze 200A in my XMAXX.
Would you use thé MAX6 in thé infraction or drop it in thé XMAXX and use thé Fuze in thé infraction?
Thanks for any help!

That is one of those, 'completely on the member'! If you choose too you can! You may have to do a lil fabricating to make it fit, sometimes they will fall into place.
You can switch em over or you can wait, completely up to you my friend!

Did'n t mesure thé Fuze yet but as you say. If it fits without 2 much trouble I can try them both and see what's best.

 

[jondilly1974]

I would think unless you are trying to hit 140mph in the Infraction, you want the bigger ESC in the Xmaxx. I can only assume it weighs more than the Infraction.

I’ve decided to go the mmx8s route with the spektrum 1250kv motor, I really only plan on a lot of drifting and bashing, it may be overkill but that’s why it’s fun

Lots of tyres...!!! ????

That should be a great setup for bashing and a little speed.

Running the new spektrum black V2 160amp esc stock 2050kv motor with stock optional speed pinion and center diff at 1 mil on 8S. 112mph and awesome drifting. 50mm fan and heatsink on motor. Got longer screws and some rubber washers and just added another spektrum stock 30mm fan on top of the existing. Temps stay SUPER cool. The rear tires literally scream on straight line launching. Slammed the front droop screws and changed the front shock oil to 10k cst. Kind of an eco minor build but I am LOVING this setup for now!!!!!

What's the advantage of running 8s? It seems you volt up, motor kv down and then gear up to suit. But what does it achieve? Higher speeds? better drifting? Lower temps?

You don't necessarily need to gear up depending on how much you kv down because the extra voltage already adds rpms. Volting up generally gives less heat at the same speed because there should theoretically be less amps needed to achieve the same wattage. However it's not always that simple either because you add more weight with bigger batteries, motor, and ESC. With higher voltage there is more torque, more power, and of course higher top speed potential.
