Max 8 G2 Combo Is a BEAST in The Traxxas Sledge! [Full Review]

Will this system fit in that tekno mt410?

Are you still utilizing the stock transmitter & controller or does that need to be changed as well. Sorry, I am new to this. If it does need to be changed, what set-up would be good to go with this change. Thank you!

Would this system be a good fit for the maxx? Just subscribed 😄

Mine went up in smoke second time plugging it in:/ now Trying to get it figured out with the warranty

For the Sledge, what would be the best pinion/spur for bashing? Great speed but also some torque?

Great video and channel! Keep it up bro ! Good vocabulary and narrating. Fun and knowledgeable!

Great vid..yeah this should be good for the Radix 4.

Great vid....

just bought this for my kronos

Just subscribed! I'm a Kool Kid now! Yes! YEE YEE!

very cool

Besides BEC changed to 8.4v, was everything else on the Esc in stock settings? Or did you increase the punch?

What punch level you have set in this video, the old max 8 only went to five and the new g2 goes to ten

I wanna be a cool kid

My castle has 8.5v bec

Did you gain any power or torque ?

This is cool and that Sledge was wild, I might get one of these combos for my Sledge and maybe my XO-1 and my future Infraction V2 instead of a Castle MMX 8s with 1717 1,650KV or just wait until Hobbywing makes a G2 style Max 6 and sensored 4985. But this combo looks very promising and it's cheaper than the Castle system i planned to get. Great videos Do RC keep them up.

Awesome review. How were your Temps?

How did you end up finally mounting your G2 ESC if the double stick tape did not pan out? I see you can go much slower and controlled with a sensored motor, what are the downsides to bashing with sensored motors? Is it cost? Subscribed!

I'm new to the electric rc cars I bought the sledge a month ago but I don't like how the esc runs. So I'm looking a getting a esc and motor combination. So will I get more power going up to a 2250kv or will I get less power. I'm thinking about the max 8 g2 with the 2250kv motor. I want a noticeable increase in power that I can turn down or up and will fit the sledge with little to no modification. Thanks for the help

Will the arrma fire team b to heavy for these system on 6s bashing

Forgot to ask, how does this compare to the max6 on 8s if you've ever had both?

Can you get it to self rite with these upgrades, like using the throttle and torque kinda style?

Love the new max 8 just hate that you have it in a frigging traxxas pos

all of the cool kids hahaha

What gearing are you running? I’m running 46/18 and it’s stutters on punch 9 pretty bad.

I put this combo on my Sledge ystrdy and blew my pinion and spur. Whats gonna be a good replacement?

as a newbie in the rc world, i have been riding my JLB cheetah 120 amp for 2 years now and that thing has been costly in repairs.
so i wanted to find a new toy and was doubting between this sledge or an arma kraton.

so far from whatever ive seen sledge is pricey and needs many upgrades, so i thought maybe im better off getting arma roller and put these kinds of electronics in it?

what are your thoughts on this?

been looking at arma kraton, sledge or outcast, i rlly dislike traxxas way of bussiness with their battery etc but in the end a guy wants worth for the money so im rlly having a hard time deciding what to get >.<

what is best to go in my arrma felony.A max6 1650kv or this in your video(max8 combo) very nice video and your xmaxx is a beast!!!

well how do you mount the max 8 esc to the chassis ?

What receiver are you using? Will the stock Traxxas one take the 8.4 volts?

My ecs hobbywing max 8 Did catch on fire 😭

What Motor Fan are you running, also what pinion rand and size are you running ?

Would you say this in a talion exb or a max6 g2 with the new 4990 motor?

Can i use a sensor less hobbystar motor with this esc?

Salut 🖐
J'ai récemment achete un combo max8 g2 4278 2250kv , et dans mon combo y'a pas les cables supplémentaires a souder sur un autre moteur, et les couleu des gaines thermiques au buts des fils deja soude sur le moteur elles sont bleu jeune orange pas noir comme les tiens,
Tu a une idée par hasard pourquoi c'est commeca chez moi ? Ou si c'est normal ? 🤔

Merci anticipe ! 🖐

Hello 🖐 I recently bought a max8 g2 4278 2250kv combo, and in my combo there are no additional cables to solder on another motor, and the color of the thermal sheaths at the ends of the wires already soldered on the motor they are blue young orange not black like yours, Do you have any idea why it's like this in my house? Or if it's normal? 🤔 Thank you in anticipation! 🖐

Will motor handle 8s

And the motor fits the stock mount huh?

I just ordered this setup for my sledge, I do off-road/bashing on 6s and curious of what gearing I should run, any help is appreciated!

What gearing are you running in your sledge

how much does the sledge weigh??

Can I use this combo on a 1/8 buggy? Because on the HW website it says that it is for trucks and monster trucks.

I'm replacing a MAX10 G2 ESC (140A) with the EZRUN 3665 2400KV in a Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally with the MAX8 G2S and the EZRUN 4278 2250kv SD G2R Motor "HW Black Friday $209.98"

Can I just buy the motor ?

Or would I need to buy the other thing too ?

Would this work with the redcat machete 6s? Would the motor be too long for it?

Can you run the original traxxas 6s dual batteries ?
Did you have to change any gearing to Handel all power or you stick with OEM gearings?

great video and thank you! does the motor bullets come pre-soldered from the factory?

Could it do those backflips with 4s?

Hey I bought that combo 2250 kv and first one lasted 3months motor magets all came apart. So hobbywing said u gotta pay 65.00 too replace it and keep the old motor put the knew motor in and it's running hot like 3mins rip and it's super hot for good battery 6s ovonic 130c 6200. With a small fan.
