Sweet! That thing gonna fly w/5687 in there! I see folks going even bigger and I have to ask myself why? To each their own of course, but I have seen the difference from 4985>5687 in an Arrma 8s and it's quite healthy. A lightweight TRX should be ballistic w/5687 or 5690.
I'm about ready to go 1.5 mod in my stock powered Xmaxx, tired of replacing mod 1 gears in it, LOL. I have a Firma 1250kv 4985 that needs a home, has an 8mm shaft.. all I need is a MM and the 1.5 gears..

Thanks man!!! Yeah, I wanted to keep it as lightweight as possible. I thought about going max6 1250kv but I wanted something more capable for whatever I throw at it. I was gonna run stock mod 1 gears but I don’t like the idea of the spur shaft bending like I’ve heard happening. I’m got mod 1.5 coming with Cush drive so it’s a little more protected and stable. Haha! I’m stoked to get it ripping! Stock electronics were okay for awhile geared 22/46 but the esc did tend to cut out when geared up for me. This combo should put some serious power down! I’ll get some vids on my YouTube for it and post it when I get a chance! Thanks again

I run a max5g2/spektrum 5687-1100kv in my xmaxx without much drama. I only run 29/46 gearing in it and haven't had too many issues running an arrma 8D M1 pinion with GDS spur. Plenty of speed for what I do. I have belted sledgehammers on it, but I also wrapped them as I saw people on youtube/facebook still blowing them apart.

I have killowattrc M1.5 22/35 gears which is a hair lower ratio than what I'm currently running, but haven't had the need to install them yet.
