Was curious for those who have upgraded their E-Revo 2.0 Brushless to the Castle Creations 1515Y 2200KV Motor and Monster X ESC and what are your thoughts on it? I was looking at Part # 010-0145-03

Love it I put that set up in my Emaxx build plenty of power all dayWas curious for those who have upgraded their E-Revo 2.0 Brushless to the Castle Creations 1515Y 2200KV Motor and Monster X ESC and what are your thoughts on it? I was looking at Part # 010-0145-03
I did. It broke lose so I zip tied. It ended with me zip tie and double sided taping it. Its a 2007 esc still on 2 poles, way before cages, and no mounting tabs.3m double sided tape. I also got the RPM castle esc cage. Never had the esc move or anything also has a place for the on/off switch... very good cage. I taped down the cage and taped down the esc to to cage. Solid as a rock in the emaxx
The newer ones come with the fan and are built solid.. yea they didn't have much options back in 07.. it was tape and zips... and hope for the best... but the castle stayed strong threw out it all. That's all that matters rite... castle for the winOn my new esc, that and a fan are on the list.
Yeah I saw that savage wish I was here when you posted I would have bought it .. the HW max line has been cutting out on people during their runs. Mid jumps on back flips and what not. I wouldn't go with the hobby wings till they figure out the issue. Been happening in quite a few YT videos. All a sudden the guys like oohh esc cut out. Might have fixed it but haven't heard anybody saying they did.. but after they always ended up back with the castle... plus castle doesn't use rubber sealed bearings which causes resistances. And less powerI ran that setup in my savage flux hp and now I run it in my maxx4s.
My first e-revo was the v1 with the MXL-6S/2200kv "castle" system, which was a Mamba Monster 2 and their unsensored 1515 2200kv motor. I ran it on 4S for 3 years or so. I wanted to run 6S without worrying about diffs, so I got a 2.0 slider and moved it over to that. Not sure why, but it died on my 3rd bash. The ESC just fried. Up until then, the motor did run warm as did the esc, but I was geared pretty conservatively. I ended up putting a max6 and arrma blx4074 2050kv in it with a dual fan cooler and a high velocity 35mm alloy framed fan in the esc. It's been pretty bulletproof. With Backflip MT's I run 21/54 gearing in it all day long in grass without overheating.
I sold the savage when I got the maxx, but I kept the motor/esc (MMX/1515 sensored 2200kv) to put in the maxx. I started with 4S and now run 6S. It seems to run hot, both the motor and ESC. If I didn't already have them, I'd have gone with the max8/2200kv combo, or the max6 and find a decent 4074 2000kv for it.
If you want to run hard, I'd go with the max6 and find a decent <2000kv 4074 motor for it. There's also a guy on facebook that makes motor plates so you can mount a longer and/or larger OD motor from the front pretty cheap, so you could drop the max6/4985 1650kv combo in it.
I haven't come across any issues with the HW esc's. I run 3 of them, 2 max6's and a max10 sct (for over a year). My buddy runs 3 or 4, max10 sct, max8 in his maxx4s, max6's in a kraton, max5 in his xmaxx and limitless I believe and another runs the max6 in his kraton as well. We've never had any issues.Yeah I saw that savage wish I was here when you posted I would have bought it .. the HW max line has been cutting out on people during their runs.

I believe the issue was supposed to be with the MAX6 specifically in the Xmaxx. Thats my understanding anyway. I own neither a MAX6 or an Xmaxx soI haven't come across any issues with the HW esc's.

Didn't say they all did it. Plus when did you buy them? They probably not brand new.. I think it's people trying to over power them honestly. It's not everyone and every HW esc. It's just something I've seen and heard on YT and in messaging with the people on YT.. sorry wasn't trying to say all HW's were doing that man.I haven't come across any issues with the HW esc's.

It's more the max5. But it's has happened with some of the max6 as wellI believe the issue was supposed to be with the MAX6 specifically in the Xmaxx. Thats my understanding anyway. I own neither a MAX6 or an Xmaxx so
Oh thats interesting.. glad he got it running and calibrated.
