Great vid! Everyone always wants bigger numbers, but they forget about SIZE. Sometimes the best thing is the perfect fit! Great job really clean build!
I don't know if you've noticed it yet, but in the paper manual for the new G2 motors in the Max 5 they're showing a listing for a 4990 G2 1650kv motor now rated up to 8s. Going to be an absolute killer in a lightweight xmaxx or xrt build. I've ran my current 1650kv hobbywing motor for over a year on 8s and it's a beast so I can't wait for the max6 g2 system.
@@ExocagedRC That's crazy, mine started out in a Mojave with occasional 8s runs and then transfered to the xmaxx for a lightweight setup with a mmx8s and it's probably had well over 50 runs on 8s. Maybe got a lemon but this new should be rated for 8s so might be worth a try to see how it handles the xmaxx
@@ExocagedRC I guess I'll add that early on I swapped out the bearings for abec 5's from Jim's bearings that are rated for higher speeds. If that made a difference I have no clue
Hi love the vid! I have a question. I got the new max6 g2 with the 1250kv motor combo however I noticed I can't use a 20t pinion as it doesn't mesh with the spur gear. So do I have to now use bigger pinions? If so what's the minimum size I could use? I'm using the m2c motor mount for the xrt. Please help!!!!
What kind of species are you? You are always on such a constant grind putting out new videos, and I appreciate all the hard work you put in to entertain us! You must be AI or something, lol.
LOL I'm just so fascinated by these things and the tech thats involved. I've always been a mechanic, this is just a bit smaller and easier on the back.
@@ExocagedRC Same hear I feek you on that. It's a lot of fun. My friends said I'm going to burn myself out in RCs and that was 20 years ago and it's never happened. They are too addicting, lol.
the bigger 8s motors and 12s motors are lower in KV but they have insane torque so we gear them up and when on 8s or 12s they spin pretty high for their size.
@@ExocagedRC lol oh boy!!! Ok well I’m trying to optimize my XRT with a belt drive system on this exact 1250KV motor and currently 20/25 (1.25 ratio) seems too tall of gearing motor gets hot fast. I see you didn’t even have fans on so by that measure going to 15/25 a 1.66 ratio should run a lot better..You were 1.76
It all depends on your vehicles weight and gearing. A 1250kv motor is for a large heavy truck. Somthing like an 8th scale. The higher the # the more RPMs but less tourqe.
Depends on the size of the vehicle and can size. Lots of variables to picking a motor. A 5690 can size like in this video has plenty of torque at 1200kv which is why you can go up in the gearing compared to the stock motor.
@@tdgshadow90 Without more info impossible to say. If it's on a Traxxas car I woud expect the 6 to be best as Keeping them light is key. On an Arrma car good fans and a 5 is probably best. I know with the 800KV max 5 G2 combo it runs much cooler with more power and control than the G1 V3 did.
pity, because 1050 KV would be perfect.. The big one with 800KV and the small one here have about the same performance.. It's smaller by almost 1/4 lighter, but also almost 1/4 KV.. They pull about the same amount of power.. Well, you can then reduce the timing and/or punch on the controller if the power is too much for you.. Yes, I have it in my X-Max and a Lehner 22:80 925-Kv and cr .900gr. heavy.. Despite significantly less KV, the Lehner motor with 8S has about the same power and stays the same cool..

No phenomenal?? 😮 First video ever missed? My woman even noticed cuz it's at the end of every video ... But Awesome video as always Joe! 👍🤘

I've never had a 1650kv survive 8s for more than 1 run. They always come apart

Definitely a cool motor. I see this with the G2 Max 5 making its way into many XMAXXs and XRTs. Maybe even into Arrma 8s vehicles.
Like the build but I really need some ideas for a 12s build with my XRT can't wait to see how yours run I'll watch the next video
Nice clean install! Looks great! Looking forward to see how it goes!👍👍😁😎✌️
Thanks 👍
Not sure I've seen you so excited 😂 way to start my day 😂
very cool bro cant wait to see it run!!
For those bullets I use a torch and some extra flux on the wire. Fill with hot solder and dab the wire in. Super easy.
Hello, do you have a link for the engine mount? what is the brand of the engine mount? THANKS
Super Baja Rey 2.0 install and drive next, please!

what a beast! 😁
How does it compare to the 1100kv 56-87 motor is it worth replacing the 1100
👍😁
What would you say is the best motor and esc combo for the xrt ultimate currently? Looking to make it faster!
Would this motor do well in the K8S EXB, or am I still better off with the 800kv?

Does lower kv mean more power? Motor numbers confuse me
Awesome motor 👍 But isn't it still low in kv? My crawler motor is faster (not the crawler it self) 😁
I guess it is just a matter of gearing it up 😎
the bigger 8s motors and 12s motors are lower in KV but they have insane torque so we gear them up and when on 8s or 12s they spin pretty high for their size.
Some time has gone by how is this setup going and how did the gearing you did work out?
worked out well, granted I'm about 3 systems past this now

@@shawnscott9704 try running it on 6s
what do you think of this vs the 1721 1260kv . do you think it would make since to run a 1721 on a max 5 g2 with the special sencor port cable
I don't have that motor, this one came with 6.5 bullets so its meant for the max6 g2 I'm sure but I couldn't get that esc as its not available yet.
@ExocagedRC right that's what we really want. Sign me up for 2 of em.
Hey who told you that would fit in the Baja rey? I know that guy….haha lol
Is 1250 kv plenty of power? I’m new to brushless.. so I’m still learning.

6.5mm bullets the max6 G2 must be imminent then.
You think it would be worth to wait for max 6 with this motor or would the max 5 just be better?

How's ur diffs holding up joe
Great just don’t shock them by landing on heavy throttle or brake and they’re good.
@@ExocagedRC thanks for the advice Joe! Love watching ur videos by the way
how long is the motor? I have a sledge and the motor is 75mm
112👍😄
