I was wrong - READ DESCRIPTION

- Guys, there was nothing wrong with it! I bought a new one for nothing! The problem was one of the motor bullets were corroded giving a poor connection which was making it cut out under load. Helicopter ESC's from another manufacture used to catch fire if one of the motor leads came disconnected, the MAX 6 is clever and shuts itself down and restarts before any harm is done. SO....so far, everyone in my bashing group who has a max 6 has had 0 failures! I'm the first to say when a product sucks, this one certainly does not! 10/10 for Hobbywing you make some great stuff!

I quit my job and made $100,000 on ebay last year. See how you can too! kevin-talbot.teachable.com/p/kev-s-ebay-course
You will admit that
I finally found the video where you claimed to link the 1/4 to R/C driver hex tips. But you didn't link! Are they discontinued? I was gonna buy a set for my DeWalt 8v Gyro driver.
Kevin Talbot take the old one apart and see if you can find the problem
Kevin i just seen a kraton go 101mph with just with 1 xlx2. You can do it 💪
Kevin the same thing is happening to mine not even 6 months old but the motor bullet connectors all look clean..... Any idea what it could be???
I got a thumbs down within 10 seconds of uploading this video! haha you gotta love it when even a hater is subscribed and notified! haha
typical
Kevin Talbot they can’t have even watched the video in 10 seconds they must hate you
Kevin Talbot Buddy...I'm just not a Hobbywing fan. To me , it's reverse engineered asian stuff.
I've had Castle last me over 10 years , so that what I run.
Almost two years ago I bought a Hobbywing esc for my crawler...had it in there for just a few minutes and pulled it. It just didn't have the control of my Castle/BLE Pro esc's.
Castle is too expensive.
Fábio Castro I understand the budget thing but in electronic's you get what you pay for. I had a first-generation MMP 3s and it last over 10 years....after that is started puffing batterys but it still worked. That's 10+ years of water , mud , snow and 10+ foot drop-offs.
I've bought Holmes/Castle since with no problems. Brake that down over 10 years and the cost is minimal.
Plus , i'd rather support an American company.
Man I wish I could, “just ask 8s Steve” 😂😂😂 great vid kev I love watching you work on your rc cars because when you put something on it you explain why you are doing and and what it does and what is the best one to get and you give a true review
Thanks Kev! i fix my max5/ Leopard 1350 combo 8s broplem, just soldering new motor connectors, and remove wire adaptors motor/ESC. it works 6s fine, 8s make few cut offs before runs ok
Hey Kevin I have had this issue happen a few times. Disable your low voltage detection. Seems to fault often. Circuit history so you have to use your head and replace batteries before cells get too low.
I have a drone that’s been experiencing pretty much the same problem. It would start to work then one ESC would cut out under heavy load. If I put pressure near the bad ESC, then the problem would stop. After reading your description, I’m thinking that one of the the solder joints to the ESC is weak. Tanks for the tip.
Dear Kevin, i love your vids i just started watching last week and I’m hooked. I doubt you will see this but, i have a car recommendation for you. It is a 1/10 scale monster truck it is called the pro line pro mt 4x4 it is a roller but it comes stock with badlands and a pro line body. I think you will like this truck because you can fit a 1/8 scale motor in it.
Awesome vid. Glad you got the kinks worked out and look forward to seeing that beast bash again
Hi kev, watched so many of your videos, you've been a great help and mentor. Im a fairly new subscriber and RC hobbyist basher. I've just upgraded my new HSP 1/10 Brontosaurus to brushless. I'd like to ask what amp ESC I'd need to run a 6s LiPo?
I'm running a Etronix photon 2.1 2950kv brushless motor and came with a 45a. Runs a 3s Lipo 5000mah but iwant to run 6s? I doubt a max 6 will fit without changing the motor I just bought.
Got to give you props you make sum of the best videos out not only do u bash the crap out of all your trucks you show new people to the hobby how to fix and set up their vehicles
Glad I watched. My stock esc is acting goofy. Was giving me a low voltage light. Batteries were fresh. Checked the cells and all look decent. I was torn between the max5 and max6
Great video👍🏼👍🏼.I never had any problems with hobbywing esc. But I have sent 3 castle esc back for warranty , do to burning up and malfunction.
Hey Kevin I know I’m a little late seeing you did this video over a year ago but what are your thoughts on the Castle mamba XLX esc? I just got one for my X-Maxx and was wondering if all the fuss was worth to mount it in? I like bashing more than speed and I know the max 6 is waterproof unlike the Castle Mamba XLX
Put the link for the bits please
Hunter Powers Bangood.... China....takes abt 45 to 90 days to get here in the states....it sux but they cheap....I'll wait 😊
@@redblue40rc33 lol. yeah it takes about 4-5 weeks.
@@redblue40rc33 just order off amazon prime I order yesterday and it came today
How's the LVC setup? Does it turn off when the voltage is low or just slows down but allows the lipo to drain.
Did you check the lipo cut off and where it is set ? Ive also had issues with escs doing that of the power switch is funky dust and dirt eventually gets in and wears the switch contacts .
Agreed! I need a bigger work bench haha!! Great content as usual 👍
did you think that one of the wires is lose on the switch and when you accelerate hard and break hard it moves it out and in
Hey Kevin do you still use the xt-90s what’s your opinion on the ec5 connectors compared to xt90?
Hey Kev, any chance you’ll be doing much with the Hyper VS? It looks awesome but it seems to rarely be used? I have a bit of cash sitting there for the next car, so want to pick carefully, and that one is in the line up. Thanks
Hey Kev nice vid. Very informative about esc diagnostics. Thanks. What do you make of the bitcoin dropping today?
That esc is a beast last 2 years that’s epic. My slash ultimate velinion esc lasted 5 months. I think it got water damage cause I used to blast it with water and then when it heated up steam would come out.
Did you re-use the middle wire that connects the two batteries?
What’s the link for the 1/4 Drive hex drivers u use ? I’ve been searching
Where do you get those thick double sideded adhesive pads?
I have this problem on my hobbywing max 6 of not calibrating on my Xmaxx 8s, do I need to buy the programming for the esc to calibrate
Looked like a Brown-out on the BEC, you try running the old ESC with an external BEC?
im wanting to get a xmaxx, is there any reason not to run it stock or will it catch fire or some shit
Not sure if your using a cap pack or not but i would think your using more power than what your lipo can support at once?
I had the same problem with my Max5, I added a glitch buster and a rebind of my system and it fixed the issue. $7.00 US.
Can you expand on that? I have same issue with my max5 esc. What is glicth buster and how to add it? Is this the same as cap pack?
I figured out how they want you to program the esc. After turning on the esc and holding the set button, and the red led starts flashing, release the set button. Now push the set button where the transmitter is at neutral, this sets the neutral point. Then press the set button while holding full throttle, this sets the full throttle point. Finally, press the set button while holding full reverse/brake, this sets the reverse/brake point. If this is too confusing, let me know, this hobby is all about putting a huge smile on your face and helping fellow bashers or racers out. Feel free to share with anyone who is confused on how to program hobbywing esc units.
Hey kev if the Traxxas constant velocity drive shafts you put on the slash 4x4 don’t work, you can get the Mip X duty ones the only thing you have to do is clean them every once and while because they will rust but they are awesome, mine for my Slash 4x4 are supposed to be here today so I’ll let you know how they fit 👍🏻
Hi kev,I am buying a new traxxas xmaxx and I want the best performance and upgrades for my truck. Now I have watched all your videos pretty much hahah . Why do you put the max 6 ESC on every truck? Does it give you better performance? Why is it better then the stock ESC?I also want the best speed so what gear ratio is the best for speed and off roading. I just want to have a beast . If there is something else I m missing to make my truck a beast please share.
Are surpass hobby classic combo platinum edition escs' any good
4 impact drivers? Great video :)
What are the best connecters
What about the link to the tips you use on the drill? Im in need of new ones.
i have a large tip for you.
Great advice because I just blew my Traxxas 8's ESC tonight I think. it has the temp light on and the motor has nothing was running in snow max 6 here we come
Hi guys, I’m trying to find out how long the receiver cable is on a HW max 6 ESC? Can’t find that measurement anywhere online. Cheers
Hi dear please help me.. I have hobbywing max5 for my baja flex.. The Esc dosent cut the volt to safe my lipo even with set up ( auto intermediate) which its defult setting.. I dont know what dose mean did esc cut the voltage in 3.4 or 3.7.. I lost tow battery and got puffy. Waiting ur reply brother
Hi,I have a hobbywing max8 and the battery i have dont last long on it..its a 4s on 5200mah......is it any good..please help me out to get the right one 🙏..thanks Jason
Was wondering what other bodies from different manufacturer that can be fitted in the xmaxx with little or no modification at all...
Are you going to try to warranty that old Max6, or do you just decide it's not worth your time chasing warranties or discounts for the replacement?
Have you tested the GoolRC 150A esc, it looks like a copy of Hobbywing MAX?
Hi Kevin,
Max5 will be compatible with X-Maxx stock motor 1200kv?
yes
you should do a dissassembly video of the broken max 6 esc
Mine keeps cutting out, no throttle or steering. But fan has power. Then it all of a sudden goes again. Any clue what the problem is?
Yay my favorite u tub man
Hey I’m trying to get a new buggy with 4WD and I don’t know what to get
Do you have any recommendations ?
Thanks
thanks bro! hyper vs is an awesome buggy!
Ftx vantage cheap and fast
Kevin Talbot
Thanks
HELP does anyone know why my transmitter doesn’t connect to my esc it connects to the servo and beeps 1 but usually it beeps 2 times when t fully connects and my wheels just don’t move it something electronic wrong with it I have a new esc should I install it ? What you guys think
TRX4 converted just like yours☺ Except brown and black scheme
Do you still have a link to the hex tips? Or at least what they are called?
Why havent you upgraded the motor to a hobbywing motor to go with the hobbywing esc?
Yo Kevin, where da link to the hex drivers???
theyre on banggood....hex screwdriver bit set..i ordered 2 sets....ill get the link if i can find it
Hey Kev, Can you post a link to those bits that you use on the drill?
Red White & Blued yeah that would be nice
They were made by team C but they no longer make them. Sry I’m 2 years late
Over a year in my max6 finally and literally went up in a ball of smoke..... best investment I got for my xmaxx I think
Do you own any Arrma rc's? Just curious cause I thought they were based in the UK. I did the switch and absolutely love them. Arrma Outcast is one of the best rc ever built in my opinion.
They are not a UK based company, and are now on Horizon hands. Besides, this guy is endorse by Traxxas.
Hey Kev , where is the link for those tips? (HEX)
Same thing mine did,, replaced with Max5
I know this was 4 years ago but I fixed this problem on mine with a new switch! Solder a new one on.
so fun joke - Kevin ''so rub it down the tip like this''
can you show the diffrence of trx4 waterproof
Can you tell me a good example car to get because I'm new to to I have a nitro and and like rc cars that use 2-4 cell lipo also I'm in the uk
Looks like I’m definately getting a max 6 for my maxx
Works great. 2250kv motor from hobbywing too. Perfect..run all day stays below 120. When it's 90f out!
Try putting an extra set of capacitors on the battery leads
Can't be bad as Castle Mamba Monster series.I bought a Mamba Monster 2 and Mamba Monster x esc and motor combos.I used the Mamba Monster 2 and it failed after a month,then I used the Mamba Monster x and it failed after a week.Very bad experience with Castle ESCs.The 2200kv motors are reliable but Castle ESCs although very powerful are very failure prone.
It’s probably those badlands they are super heavy Which overloads the esc
Kev! Can you still post the link to the hex tools?
I find that the QS8 plugs work better. xt60 rated at 60amps and the xt90 are rated at 90 amps the max 6 draws 200amps max 5 150 amps the qs8 plugs are rated at 300amps.
Happened to my esc today. Max8 would go then quit. You could hear it beeping once it lost power😢
Is max 6 can handle 2050 kv motor?
Should try like a castle set up
That's nice to know!!
Nice video wish I had a x max
I blew the bec in a max 5 within 6 months all I had changed was the bec voltage to 7.4 and after getting a new max 5 then the motor went within a week
You should get The ECX ruckus and and put everything hotracing do
My max 6 won't calibrate.... I can't set throttle range.. Please help.
I just purchased a max8 for my UDR is that a good match for that vehicle?
Im getting a max6 for it
@@jamesandonian7829 actually have a Max 8 in it and it's way more than enough! Very happy with the max 8 combo in the UDR I see no need to run 8's in this vehicle. I run mine and its natural environment not on the street or at skateparks
Iv got the max 6 in my kraton 6s and it’s just randomly died on me, flashing red light, no power to motor or servo, going to have a look at it and see if I have the same issue, ordered the BLX185 for it as recommended for reliability reasons so hopefully I can get the max 6 to work and keep the BLX185 as spare
What did you find out about the esc was it thermo or lvc same issue here when everything else is fine what really gives
Have you ever soildered connectors on the esc on backwards??? I sure have!!!! It wasn’t pretty, long story short, it blew up. Whooooops!!!!
What is the best place to get an Xmas s8?
Lol
Not seen him for 40 years
How does this one compare to the mamba x system?
The Max 6 is the better ESC. I run a Max6 in a basher truggy(think Kraton 6S) with a TP Power 4070CM 1650KV. It's going on it's third year and I have run mostly 8S. Only ESC I would replace it with that fits in the same space would be an MGM.
why use hot glue when it could just re-melt under the extreme heat? or block air flow to cool the major components?
What do you think about the underhanded tactics of Traxxas by taking out smaller companies that are putting out decent priced comp for the beginners Kev?
Brent Humphreys pretty sure traxxas butters his bread.
Also can you do a review when the new traxaas e revo 2.0 comes out? Thanks in advance..! 😊
Kevin talbot is the hobao hyper vs 4wd and waterproof and out the box can you put 2 2s lipo in it
not sure if its waterproof but it can do 4s and is 4wd
Thanks kevin your the best
I Loooooove you Intro. Buy more Toys quit your Job ... You the Best Dude Ever. Cheers 😎
Turn punch control ro 3 or 4 not 5 or what ever the last number is back off one or 2👍
I wonder if the capacitors were loose. The max esc rely on those fat capacitors.
Can you do a install of a new motor and esc into the trx4. I want to upgrade my motor in the future and have never done a install. maybe show some motor options. Thanks
Growyourmind86 if you r just now getting into rc (idk if you r) Go on amazon and find something cheap that is good or if your gonna drops some cash CZcams it
New to the electric cars. Coming from nitros. I can not find any good installs of a good motor system for the trx4. No good ones any way.
Hey bud any idea why the max6 on xmaxx wint turn off by the power button after getting a bit wet? Has this ever happened to you? By the way I like your videos on xmaxx. Keep up the good work. Keep up the bashing.
no idea dude
You have a very good spare 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me and my wife are starting to get into the selling online Ebay business and we love to do so and have me quit my job but its make me nervous on the first start of getting it starting .
Going on 3 years with my maxx 6 no issues hobbywing making great esc....
My ESC do the same thing you need to put in a external bec will solve your problem
that cant be the problem dude, ive used it like this for 2 years and its been fine
Where's the tip link???
Got my x max 8s ,,,ohhh the mods will be happening soon.. this site is awesome ❤ keep the bashing going feller
Kev put new thermal paste in the esc
Yo yo yo kev how’s it going in the Uk
Get the rustler off the shelf and go bash it! ( when the weather is better👍)
I dont see the link for the gluegun🧐
