Hello X-Maxx owners,
I am seriously considering buying an X-Maxx. Been keeping my eye out for a rolling chassis but they seem hard to come by, so have accepted the fact that I may just have to buy new and sell the stock esc & motor.
I'd like to put in a power setup that would allow for at least 60mph reliably (on road), with no stress or heat issues. In the past I have a Revo 3.3 with a .32 engine, then had an Xray 808 with a Nova .28, and now at the moment I've got an Arrma Talion with a TP40107... I have a habit of trying to fit in the biggest powerplant I can.
Going by the research that I've done, it seems the Hobbywing Max5 & Hobbywing 56113 is a very popular option. However, most of the speeds recorded on youtube seem to average 55mph, which is only 5mph quicker than stock. Another popular option is the Castle MMX8 & Castle 2028. Trouble is, I don't really want to spend upwards of £300 on a new power system, and also don't want to be shattering gears and spurs every time I drive it!!
I've compiled a list of possible esc & motor options, if anyone has experience with any of these in an X-Maxx, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts...
Esc:
- Hobbywing Max5
- Castle XLX
- Castle XLX2
- Castle Monster Mamba X 8s
Motor:
- Hobbywing 56113
- Leopard 58113
- Castle 2028
- SSS 56114
- SSS 56123
- Surpass Hobby Rocket/HobbyStar 56112
- Surpass Hobby Rocket/HobbyStar 70120
Thanks for any advice
