I may have to check out one of those motors for my Xmaxx. I recently bent the shaft on my HobbyWing 1100kv and haven't gotten a replacement yet. I considered putting the factory 8S Traxxas motor back in and seeing how long the XLX2 takes to kill it 😂. Thats what I love about this forum...

1250 and 1650kv are pretty close. That looks similar in size to my 1100kv. Seems the TPpower motors are similar in price to Castle. Is there much of a quality difference? I'm no expert by any means, but that might be a little much for that 2wd stampede 😂

I sure like the XLX2. Great power and I've never seen it get much over 100 degrees even with the tall gearing I was running. Why not a castle motor? I'm not familiar with TPpower.

What power system and gearing are you running on your K8?

Forgot to mention I did drop to a 37t pinion to hopefully help the situation. Never thought of trying on road tires. Thanks for the suggestion.

I've put 8 hard runs on the Proline Mashers and so far so good. I did do the fishing line re-inforcement and it seems to be doing good. Thanks for the tip there Chubaka.

I posted a short video running the dog here. There was a soccer game going on in the big field we usually run in so we had to settle for the samll one. Didn't have much room to open it up. And this is whats left of a pair of Duratrax Sixpacks

Does anyone make solid rubber tires? I'm considering removing the factory foams and filling the chamber inside with the stuff we use to foam fill tractor tires on the farm. That small of an amount of it shouldn't be very heavy and should bond the rubber to the wheel. Just a thought. Anyone...

Any specific type or strength of line? I've seen this mentioned previously. I'm surprised the line doesn't just cut through the rubber. Worth a shot though The motor temp gets up to about 150 at most. Esc has never exceeded 120. Most of the time when I run in the grass its to run my dog...

The factory arrma backflips were not and balooned pretty bad but the others I mentioned are belted. I thought the belted duratrax sixpacks would hold up well but 4 or 5 runs at the skate park and poof!

I'm running a 1/5 outcast exb with an XLX2 esc and 1100kv motor, 39/39 gearing on 8s. I can't keep tires on it. Is it just geared too high? Top speed is around 65-70 on blacktop but I rarely run it that way. 55-60 in the grass which is where I usually run. I do more lower speed bashing and...
