Hello

Time to change combo in my Kraton 1/8 EXB
i want 4s , to avoid diff problems all time. also lighter battery weight.
I have many 4s lipos also from my 8s rigs i can share with this rig also.

Will the new MAX8 160a on 4s with new sensored 2250kv be any good to this truck ?
What Pinion for bashing ?

I have now Max6 kombo 6s
and diffs dont like this
Specially with little bit more heavy aftermarket monsterwheels

i also have a Mojave EXB roller now that needs combo, these i know from before handle MAX6 kombos well
because they have smaller wheels. Not so much stress to diffs.
So i will install the MAX6 from kraton exb to my Mojave EXB roller.

Need a new combo that works fine in Kraton EXB now.

I believe the new 2022 Max8 2250kv on 4s will be decent and issue free in Kratons ?

Anyone drive this combo in 1/8 Kraton on 4s ?

EZRUN COMBO MAX8 G2 SD - 4278SD 2250KV 1/8​

I believe sensored is good also to avoid diff stress (gogging)

This combo runs 25% cooler than the old MAX8 ?
also more amps 160.

maybe 17t pinion?
 
Could just go with the max6 you have and get a 4074 1800-2100kv motor. I ran my outcast for quite a while with a max6 and the old blx4074/2050kv motor. I was on 6S at the time, but that esc will run on 4S as well.

Or you could just dial the punch down on your max6.

I run a max6/4985-1650kv on 6S in my kraton exb currently, not a lot of diff issues so far, but I do have the punch at around 50% I think with 20T pinion.
I run a max6/4092-1650kv on 6S in my outcast currently, it has the old style diffs with arrma 2 piece alloy cups and I rarely have diff issues with it either, 19T pinion in that. Pretty sure I'm using similar punch on it, not maximum on either truck.

i have always max punch, pretty stupid . this is why i have destroyed my diffs and also many tires for no good reason, only stupidness

Better have max 75% i believe. Saves tires also

I will try with punch 4 of 5, i have 5 of 5 now :(

Thank you
