And i also run in smart sense mode with castle 2028 800kv sensored motor. Please feel free to share this video, comment, like, and subscribe. More videos to come.

I asked my local hobby store if they had qs8 anti spark connectors and he looked at me like uhhhh what. Lol not knowing how to solder and having a crap soldering iron sucks. Definitely a great tutorial, thanks

Thanks for watching. Castle recommends 8mm bullet conn with XLX2. Qs8, EC8, XT150, castle 8mm connectors, 8mm bullets. I am not saying it won't work but xt90 are definitely not recommended

Would you recommend this over the max5? Or do you think I should wait for the castle 12s? Also what servos do you run on the kraton? Good videos btw.

@KiloWattRC 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching forreal 🙏.. it really depends, if you are into bashing the max 5 is perfect, if more into speed the XLX and XLX2 are perfect. Castle 12s i haven't heard anything new and not sure if the idea has been boycotted yet. PowerHD 65KG is the servo i use.

@skullkidl9432 3 жыл бұрын

@@KiloWattRC thanks for the reply. I feel like I might aim for the XLX2 as it has the best of both worlds (speed/bashing) and it will give me more gearing options, maybe cooler temps? Im also stuck on motor option what would you pick; leopard, TP, HW, or the castle 2028’s

@@skullkidl9432 def go with the xlx2 combo with the 2028 1100kv. The can is the same size as the 800kv but with higher RPM. I run that set up in my kraton EXB 8s and over geared with a 39 spur and 45 pinion and it’s an absolute beast.

did you leave the xlx2 wire length stock from the factory or did you snip anything? also, how long was your jumper wire? thanks!

Hey bro I just noticed your channel I got a quick question I have a ESC to XOXO too and my bullet broke right at the ESC board but where the solder meets the board the board is still in good condition you think it would make it from a solder job or I would have to replace it

@KiloWattRC 2 жыл бұрын

Its probably better to send it in for warranty. Although its possible to solder back on, but not a guaranteed fix

@MarceloJunior-xi6xq 2 жыл бұрын

I'm trying to adjust to use a sensorless brushless in XLX2 but I only have the option to run in "Smart Sense" and "Brushed" mode. Would you have any indication to run a motor only in brushless mode? Thank you so much for these details...
