    Cool, I was thinking about getting this system for my Sledge and maybe my XO-1 and future Infraction 6s v2 or getting waiting until Hobbywing releases a new Max 6 sensored with 4985 motor. My other option would be the Castle MMX 8s with 1717 1,650KV for the XO-1 and the Infraction. Keep up the good work Exo.

    Use a thin none-shiny tape and stick it onto the motor and measure with thermometer on it, will show true temps. Measuring on shiny reflective objects with a lazer thermometer, gives inaccurate Temps.

    I tried to do something very similar Joe, I have all the Vitavon just the same. It chewed up a Castle 1515 and fried it on 4s. Never even got to run it on 6s. I haven’t touched it since, so thank you for revisiting this. How did you get the gearing to mesh? Only reason I asking is because I couldn’t get anything smaller than a 25 or 27t pinion because the motor mount wouldn’t slide down far enough to mesh on a 46t. My only solution was a a Castle 1717 that would take it.

      @FlailinMonkey 2 роки тому +2

      @@codejunki567 It's not a 60mph truck stock out of the box, you have to install optional 25/46 gearing and that's on a 2400kv motor 60mph on the street only. Don't forget Exocaged RC has the heaviest vitavon upgrades on his truck. The front and rear bulkheads are at least a few pounds of added weight, plus the other aluminum parts he has on it. He's running 24/46 with a 2250KV motor, he would probably pick up a few mph on the street so you would probably be looking at 55mph on the street. If he geared up his pinion one more tooth to the suggested Traxxas speed gearing 25/46 he would be within a few mph of 60mph. Who wants to run a monster truck with a speed setup and run it on the street only or overheat their motor/esc? 51.5mph on dirt and grass is plenty fast enough..
