Awesome glad you enjoy! I like making them :-)

I like the battery strap mounts but the straps themselves are crap. I replaced them with some Kevlar ones.

@@DoRC Yeah, I was really referring to the mounts. Cheap, easy fix, though.

@@jerryvolpini7987 for sure. I've run the same style mounts on my several Maxx vehicles and they've proven to be very reliable. I think they're the best option.

Yeah it's definitely an improvement. Love your mount by the way!

Yeah it's definitely a good ESC and this update makes it a lot better with sensorless motors.

@@DoRC if you get a chance, grab the 1100 KV G2 if it's on sale. But you will need a rear motor mount attachment for it just to be safe

@jackboutcher68 I have one. Honestly I don't really like running the long can motors in these. Too big too heavy and honestly the power really just isn't needed for the kind of bashing that I do.

@@DoRC but it's still fun.. a buddy of mine has three Max fours and three 500 ish KVs all G2 for his losi dvxl and 5T I believe... Not sure where he put the third one in.. He's also got a 71cc motor I believe for his gas powered 5T

@@jackboutcher68 More power is more fun :-)

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

I'm given that this problem doesn't seem to happen with every sensorless motor I'm guessing this just isn't something that they realized during their initial testing. It's good that they got it fixed though.

Glad you enjoyed Thanks for watching

Definitely an awesome a mount!

Awesome glad you enjoy. It's possible that I sound like a mechanic because I've been a professional mechanic for almost 30 years now :-)

Yeah that's a lot of combo for that chassis!

I think I was running 35/21.

You're welcome and thanks for watching!

Wow that's a lot of problems. Yeah quite a few people have told me they've had issues with other recently released hobbywing ESCs.

I'm not sure there is an update for the Max 8 that addresses the same issue.

Hmm. That's strange. The punch usually is the thing that is most responsible for how easy it feels to drive. I'd recommend the lowering that.

@@DoRC what I actually mean to say is that the BEC options are gone or were gone, it would only show automatic Lipo instead of the different selections that normally give you, and any of the other options like motor, reverse or what not. What is it CW or CWWR just gone. They did come back I’m not sure what happened. It took about 15 minutes and then it just came back. Super weird?

Yes. You could use the Windows USB link software to do everything that you can do with the Bluetooth version.

If you don't have any problems I'm not sure I'd recommend doing it. It is supposed to make sensored performance better as well but if you already happy with it I'm not sure I'd worry about it.

@@DoRC or maybe I’m not noticing it because I have mine crammed into a 1/10 scale Traxxas slash 4x4 and I run 12s 😂

@@hardtailrider7172 lol

Yeah That's the motor I used in the video. Different motors will have different amounts of this issue but the new firmware definitely helps. It took that motor in the video from being essentially undrivable to feeling pretty reasonable.

@DoRC honestly after seeing how well the sensored drove I think that it might be the better solution for me. I hate dropping down to a 90 but the 113 doesn't fit a stock outcast 8s.

@@ChrisHarmon1 I have the 5690 and Max5. Running 23/35 Mod 1.5 and some Pro Line Desperado's Beadlock Rears and Tarmac Busters. It's got ridiculous power.

I haven't seen the same issue reported for the Max 6 g2. What your experiencing could be cogging depending on tire size and gearing though it could be the same problem. This issue and cogging will behave very similarly though cogging will be more of a hesitation chatter and this is just it starting off slowly.

@@DoRC it's definitely the same issue for my max6 g2. I even thought it was a throttle ramp setting I over looked somewhere. I'll have to see if I'm on the latest firmware.

@OmniMan_Racing yeah let me know what you find.

It is good to see that they addressed it though.

It doesn't have a set button so I'm not sure exactly how they would do that.

I’m not sure either but I thought if they made it so if you hold down the power button for a bit it would act like a set button. But I really just wish they just had put the port on it I mean why do you need it on your phone like it’s faster to plug in the cord and turn the vehicle on than going through the Bluetooth.

@@RcSpeedFreak-kk8wj Yeah I agree. I think the set button is a good thing to get rid of because it's a really terrible way to program an ESC but getting rid of the port seems really silly to me.

Agreed the set button isn’t very good but the esc port was

@@RcSpeedFreak-kk8wj yep

As far as I know this is just for the Max 5. I don't believe the other ESC's had the same problems.

Oh just fixing issues not adding features.

@IsaacSchultz-lz8jc Well they added in one feature but it's probably one that should have already been there :-)

No. You can connect the Bluetooth module directly to your phone and program it that way.

It's not cogging per se. Cogging is when the ESC is struggling to get the motor spinning because it doesn't yet understand the rotor position. This issue really is just more about the startup routine of the ESC itself with certain motors. There is still a slight bit of hesitation from a dead standstill with some motors but it's way better than it was before the update.

@@DoRC true, definitely looked better after the update. Hopefully they fix it completely sometime soon. It coggs with a tp 5860 motor (uncensored pretty bad)

@andruhanovo6583 yeah not sure if they're planning another update or not.
