GYU HOBBY RC Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Hello~~ I upgraded to XMaxx 8S EzRun 4985 SL 1650KV. The gear ratio is 18/50 M1. First off, it's very fast. ^^; I get a lot of heat. ;; I need to install a cooling fan. Jumping and high-speed driving seem to be the best. The motor mount used JH Racing CNC aluminum. Like the genuine parts, the gear ratio can be adjusted with dowel pins. Of course, the existing genuine gear M1 is used and the gear cover is also assembled. And after replacing the big servo, the servo force was too strong, so the tie rod (plastic) connecting the servo horn was bent, so I replaced it with NEW ENRON aluminum. The steering ability is definitely working. Satisfied!!!

Also the proline wheels and tyres add too much weight pushing the motor beyond its limits Edited June 18, 2021 by mydoddy69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logie Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I had a Max 6 combo in my INfraction and was disapointed, now i know why didnt realise the motor wasnt 8s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you lower the gear ratio and install a cooling fan, it is a good motor. 6s use, but 8s use is ok too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you lower the gear ratio and install a cooling fan, it is a good motor. 6s use, but 8s use is ok too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should know that the current speed is too fast. I am currently testing the motor. There is heat, but this seems to be solved to some extent by lowering the gear ratio. A cooling fan is also required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 The motor specifically states its for 6S only? Its too high KV and too Small for an X Maxx in my opinion. You need a Max 5 and a 56XX series motor ideally 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When landing after jumping, even the slightest mistake will damage the parts. Due to the heavy weight, it cannot perform the role of a shock properly.
