Oh How Original Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Should be more of those IMO, for other models and ESCs too. We're in a world where anything is 3D printable and we still stick tens of thousands of pounds worth of ESCs down with a bit of sticky foam.

What? i think this is still stuck down with foam tape. Its just a mount that allows the Max 5 to fit higher up in the chassis. The Max 5 doesnt fit without alot of messing. Edit: requires a zip tie to secure the esc. Edited February 26, 2018 by Guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless that isn't what you weren't sure about? I'm sure it could be screwed down somehow, which you can't do with just an ESC case, well, I suppose you could, but you'd have holes in the case, which not many want to do.

Just wondered why you grouped together every single brushless esc ever sold instead of saying ‘cant believe we still stick £150 ESC’s down with foam tape’ lol. Seemed a very bizarre way to word it? Only thing that could work is a 3d printed clamp type like you used to get on an ERevo. I still used tape aswell with that mind.

Not bizzare at all, think about it, out of all of them in use, how many are stuck down with sticky foam? They aren't all £150 though, so it was a general comment, not a particular one about the Max5. I think out of the thousands sold, someone with a 3D printer would have come up with something, but so far I'm yet to find one. I think you possibly misunderstood my first comment a little bit.

Ady 2215 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 So have just bought a hobbywing max 6 for my xmaxx 8s. Just a quick question. Have done the recalibration fine. All ok. Do i need to do anything else like set low voltage cut off? Or is it all pre set? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 The LVC on HW ESC's have a reputation for being very conservative, ie set LVC to 3.2v per cell and it'll go into LVC at about 3.8v per cell etc. So you'll probably need to set it using trial and error. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be on moderate from the factory, run alarms for a couple of runs to determine what suits your lipos. There's a full description in your manual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobFandango Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Been watching some videos on these and all i can say is wow what a machine. The punishment they seem to be able to take is unreal! Was dead set on a lost DBXL-E eventually but this has really got my attention, could easily be tempted into one of these instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QRC Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 They are great trucks, have had one for over a year !!. Apart from the truck some decent 4s lipos and charger, change the body to an Rcmaniacs or Proline, finally swap out the tyres for Proline as well.

Hegs44 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Got myself a couple of pieces from TBone to protect suspension struts. Will let you know how it looks and works out when they arrive. https://tboneracing.net/collections/x-maxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QRC Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) My X Maxx post bash this afternoon, had a coming together with a barn door and even with some damage did not give up...... Only the lower arm damaged, drive shaft is not straight, will be after a go in the vice, part ordered from MS. Could not resist another shot of the shell, concrete burns......

RobFandango Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Do any of you guys use the Gens ace 6750 Lipos in the Xmaxx? I have some for the DBXL-E and I wondered if they fit in these too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, but if you are on a budget, Turnigy will do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobFandango Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Sorry to ask so many silly questions but QRC could you enlighten me please? I need some more 4S lips really and I just wondered if you could clarify in a bit more detail why the nanotech were worth double the standard turnigy? or do I just stick with the Gens Ace? although they are £75 a go.
