Sweet been looking forward for this video and patiently waiting for this video and the speed king thought and comparing the Arrma V1 to the V2 limitless and build. Thank you soo much. Great 👍🏻 thanks
How those TP motors they are big or very long ?? I haven’t really seen really any Limitless builds with those TP motors. Your red limitless looks sick much better then v2 love the wheels
Awesome review. Yeah the battery trays kinda got me. They could have kept like another 1/2 in and moved the mount up half an inch and still be able to fit a 1721 length motor. 2028 is nice to barely fit in but it's a lot of motor to compromise battery trays for.
@@earlmoorhead5555 Exactly. Thanks man I really appreciate that! It's certainly been awhile. And honestly if people are going to go fast fast, they'll ditch the trays and make their own. It's what I did in Spartan. Can fit 4 9500mah 4s packs in him!
Poseidon PRO P1527-PV22 1500kv - 40mm x 106mm That's what my dream build would be paired with an XLX2. I think they went with a bigger gear to keep temps down when paired with a smaller spur. Coke can would be great. Color concrete grey.
Eman with the finger test 😂 I like that Arrma came with a V2 not sure if I love the changes yet . Thanks for the over view. 1100 kv soda can would be epic. Let's blue with a metal flake and maybe some yellow accents
Morning Arrma Motor because I would like to see a 2050Kv just to see what 2050Kv would do. PS Rc Garage Man to fast for you ! LOL Have a nice Weekend 🏆 Thanks Bobby
The spur is bigger because the v2 uses different difs with a different final drive ratio, I assume. Arrma customer support told me the v2 battery trays were same size as the v1, I lol'd.
Big spur is probably down to the 2.8 internal drive ratio. It seems that the smallest pinion you can use with it is a 32 🤔 Definitely comes set up for big speed gearing! Motor wise - I'm thinking something 5th scale (56 series) but that's gonna need the optional motor plate. Something like 1100kv for 8s
Hey Earl another great video I have my limit list sitting right here V but I haven’t opened it and I’m glad I watched your video got a wait till tomorrow to see what server to get I’ll just wait for you to get it get the right one so I’m not going back-and-forth like you are but thanks again have a good night
Finally you got the new Limitless. I would love to see some Mercedes‘ f1 silver color and some red decals maybe some Vodafone ads etc. would look stinking mint to use Guys words 👍👍👍
I’m learning here so I can’t suggest a motor but I know it’s gonna be badass if earl builds it. I saw a vid somewhere where they’re making a massive new motor. I think it may be sensored as well. It might have been a hobbywing but I’m not sure. I’ll have to do some research because I’ll definitely be building a limitless in the future. I have the best road for a speed run about 15 min away. Got my cbr 600 up to 152 mph out there once 😄 killer video as usual 👍👍
another build to watch and learn from Earl..... Personally I'm not skilled enough yet to venture into the higher stratosphere in MPH .... but you never know in this hobby..... truthfully?.....any time Ive had repairs or upgrades to any of my RCs ... I could always search your sight and find instructions to what I'm trying to do ...... Again..... Thank You...... for what you do.....
@@earlmoorhead5555 hopefully not 😕 there's plenty of those LV1 still in heavy rotation. Especially with the last two good sales ARRMA/HH was letting them go for. It would be tragic if you couldn't find any spares or backup parts too boot 🤞🏽
Yes seems that what arrma does with the 4s line the KRATONS most of there V1 as the chassis is different mounting I feel no chassis will be available very soon 🤷🏻♂️⚠️😳
Only 150 lol 😂 that ESC is bigger than all my dollhouse rigs lol. Crazy they made the battery holder smaller knowing all you guys go with big batteries
How you doing Earl thank you for showing the new Limitless it really don't look too different from the old Limitless but I guess it's just how you look at things want to pop this off so I guess maybe they did a couple of changes but to me it's just look the same👍🤔
The liability is a great question. Never thought of it that way . Wonder what the fine print says? I have no experience with any speed run setups, so I can't recommend nor give an opinion. I'm sure there are a few of us learning from you on the subject. Once again , great job on the videos. It's great all you do for the community 😉. Keep it up 💯🤙🔥 I might get the V2 to through into the collection of sealed RC vehicles. Being so busy . Alot of the time I'm dusting my RCS any how 🤦😂
The battery trays are plenty big enough for speed running but I would agree they are to small for bashing. My Onyx speed run batteries are 6500mah and sag way less than my 9500mah Cnhl 4s lipo’s.
I just finished a v2 build, and I got the fastest futaba servo I could get, I feel like that's a must on an on road car like this, you need to be able to counter steer as quick as possible on a car like this
We always turn the dual rate Dow to nothing on a speed run or you’ll loose control so slow movement is all you need or the cars not setup well to go straight only on a road course quick steering is needed ⚠️
Coke can all they way….. 1100kv. I liked the orange you did for that Gt build…..it really popped 👍👍👍 I don’t see enough to go buy the v2 if you have the v1 but always good to see them tweak products..great video.
I'm not really a speed guy but I think they would change it for the better. As battery technology gets better you should be able to get great power out of a smaller pack. Maybe a little less weight in batteries will boost the speed? I'm not sure with the bigger spur gear though, does the motor mount give you enough room to run a taller pinion? This is why I watch this channel. Learning as I go. 🤣 Great info Earl! 💯💯😉
Hmmm that battery tray really makes me wish I got the v1 now. I don't know enough about motors etc to comment. As for the color I would like a nice blue or purple myself. My goal with a limitless would only be 100MPH since I would mostly be street bashing anyway and on poorly maintained New England roads which rc guy would know what I am talking about 😆
Do arrma diffs break a lot? Seems they could have worded that better, but it does make sense for kit versions that they'd need some kind of disclaimer in case someone just totally gets the mesh wrong and strips is or burns it up. But for "RTR" or rollers you'd think the company would take responsibility for assembling it correctly.
Yes I agree the reason a lot of ppl buy rtr and roller rc is to have a professional company build there rc cars that’s how traxxas became so popular and changed the hobby grade rc game 👍👍
1717 1650kv I’m interested in seeing that cuz I’m thinking of buying. What do u think of the new spool? Go with like a baby blue or something bright!✌🏼💚
I'd rather have a painted body but it makes sense for arrma to put a unpainted body in with it because it's partly a kit anyway. CASTLE XLX2 Esc, motor CASTLE 1650 would be ok with me. Let me know when it's done and I'll give you my address 😉 @
Earl I do have a question. I just got a XLX2. This is the first one I have ever owned. I went through and watched it some videos of people using them and something strange that I see in a lot of the videos. (Maybe I’m missing it) But I don’t see people running cap packs With these ESC’s. And I don’t see the capacitors that normally come on these types of ESC’s. That’s why I don’t understand why they’re not running aftermarket cap pack. What’s your thoughts on this
The xlx2 was a redesign of the xlx that had cap pack issue and voltage issues when turned up they would catch on fire and blow the caps so on the xlx2 they set it up so it won’t drop ripple voltage so it’s doesn’t need caps but in that said if you run any motor that’s over 1900 kv it voids the warranty on the esc also if you run the wrong winding on the motor (Y or D winding) then castle says it will catch fire 🔥 and no warranty but then they make a speed motor 2400 kv for it and say use it at your own risk ⚠️ really confusing but no caps needed 👍
I knew youd say castle 🤣🤣 how bout a hobbywing 1650kv with a max6? Just saying?? I'm sure I'll edit🤣 whoever wins win bc you touched it!! Your a legend in my book..."alllllllllllll riiiight"😊 my man..I know guys gonna laugh at me for saying hobbywing but I have believe in there products!!On the color how about yellow or purple?🤷♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ I run smc batteries what do you think about them? That's what's in my infraction my fiance got me for Christmas..even though we are fighting could be the end 💔 but I thank her bc she funded most of my losi 22s and infraction..dang it man!! This sux!But anyway that's my thoughts sir..once again great video!🥺🥺😪💔
Problem with speed runs and hobby wing is the voltage drop cut off in the esc no way to disable it fully and the rc will cut off in the middle of the run every pass as the lipo battery will sag past the 3.6V a cell and the esc just shut off as it thinks it’s low voltage cut Safty to protect draining battery and also I can’t watch data that I need to look at like ripple so since there no other choice castle is it for speed runs
I feel like they should have went to 1/5 scale for the V2 or a separate limitless altogether.
Same thought here. I would love to see an even bigger scale like the limitless has. 1/5 scale would be to cool 👍👍
@@whatsintheboxx fully agree

Glad it's time 💯 How about blue n black . Coke can motor for sure 👌
I vote for a Castle 100KV motor. 😎💯💯💯
New gearing, New motor mount, new servo horn... equals more money being spent CAP. Nothing from the LV1 will be able to be transferred over 😉👍🏾
Yes so doesn’t that mean v1 parts support will be discontinued soon 😳

Beautiful love to hear your thoughts on this one👊👍
@1057, the servo horn even says SPEKTRUM on it so its 23T, SAVOX is 25T.
For my 8s Gt cars and the high speed diffs I run 41t spur on shorter roads and 39t on longer. I am in love with the high kv Tp 40 can motors.
How about a TP 5880 or 5850 at 1400 or 1600 kv with an XLX2 ok 8s, or the new max for with a TP 1100kv 58 series motor
I have both also, v1 is the more favorable.. battery trays ...
You asked what size motor to use.. IM GOING WITH 4070-TP. POWER. 2200KV. 70,000 RPM..
Try the 1721 2400kv castle or a tp motor, painted candy blue with silver
Black & Yellow, Black & Yellow
Black stripes, yellow paint.
Them homies scared of it but them hoes aint.
Only 150 lol 😂 that ESC is bigger than all my dollhouse rigs lol. Crazy they made the battery holder smaller knowing all you guys go with big batteries
I vote the color silver. Can’t wait to see if the missing diff in the middle makes a huge difference in performance.

Im going Castle 2028 1100 in mine when it gets here, ill be going yellow or orange, bright colour so can see it, my battery’s I use will fit as well.
Yes it definitely needs 8500 mah or higher for the big amp draw 👍
Gerat video update on the giveaway car. I would put a big coke can motor.
Castle 1/5 scale moter love your channel your de best already have a felony 8s like this v2 keep up de good work your de best

Coke can it for sure with som dark purple. Or yellow , it looks sweet.

My guess is larger spur would allow for more tweeking ability so each tooth isn't like another 11mph maybe?
