Wow those max 5 G2 look beautiful. I sold my new max 5 G1 and 1100KV to get this stuff. Yeah good luck with that 800KV I hope it fits in the kraton well 👍. Try the 1100KV first I know they fit much better and those really need 1100KV from my experience. But yeah you got more wight in her so I get it.

I asked my local shop to bring one of these in last week for me. I’m really hoping it’s there today. This looks like a great upgrade over the V1 Max 5!!! I still can’t believe they made the Max 5 12s capable and 250 continuous amps! Great detailed review Joe. I can’t wait to see this running! That Kraton is going to be crazy!!! 👊👊👍👍

[buysncharge]

I just bought the older one... I mean it's sweet. But clearly I want this now. And I guess something to put it in.

[KurtsRCs]

That Max5 is going to be crazy. The Kraton looks sick

[tyki_exe]

Looks like I'm building a 12s limitless!

[lordharr]

I would love to see this system in an X-maxx or XRT AND ON 12S SPEED RUNS

[inuyasha]

will that run a 70 120 size motor at 680 kv?

[RDEnduro]

The amp rating is just wild, hopefully just for fractions of a second! I mean it must be quick or those wires would glow red, ,

[odaytim]

Thank you as always for your content . I ordered a max 4 and then the max 5G2 due too the $$ and size for weight saving in my K8S

[brentwhaley]

I’m putting one in my scx6 with the 650kv. Just waiting for it to come in to see what all needs to be done

[jeffdavis]

I've been running the 56118 1100kv on the max6 g2 with no problems so far in my Kraton 8s

[gsxrfun]

Quick ? Buddy I’m running an hobbywing 800kv sensor less with a max 5. I’m thinking about grabbing this new max 5 g2 I wonder if I’ll noticed a difference or not vs the older max 5 you think?

[mikerr]

Exo..as always your nailing it with the content. I can't wait to see it in the k8s as I may be putting that in my k8s depending on your test.

[thatsmyrc]

So the max5 and the 800kv motors does 12s? I thought it would only do 8s? I’m looking for what to instal for my Losi 5t conversion.

[ryanrodriguez]

I’m like the only person that had two new g2 catch on fire in my Kratin 6s. Hobby wing replaced the first one and then that one caught on fire. Idkn why I’m having such bad luck with the g2 esc

[gabibranet]

hello, can you help me too, please, I don't know what's wrong with the controller that doesn't start, I followed all the steps, I have a sensored HOBBYWING EZRUN MAX5

[Ghostin-fstr]

I’m looking at building at 5ive T 2.0 (mainly 8s) will run a lot of 12 also though. Looking to achieve at least 75mph. Is this the way to go or should I go a different direction?

[RobcadRadDad]

Which motors would you recommend for the Xmaxx and Kraton 8s? I was thinking 800kv but everyone seems to go with 1100 for speed? I s the 800kv not fast enough?

[tbrickrc]

Just bought the 1100kv Combo and hope to try 800kv at a later date on my outcast 8s

[kel]

It probably has a higher resolution encoder.
