Castle XLX2 2028 1100kv or Hobbywing Max5 G2 56118 1100kv?

[soheilmd]

I just got a DBXL-E with stock electronics that i want to upgrade. I am not a scatepark basher but lime speed on beach, dunes or street.
I was thinking about one of the two combination above. From what i see is most speed runners use de XLX2. My question is, is it so much better? Or wil it be not noticeable or not worth the extra money?

If you want the ability to download and analyze all kinds of data..... Castle.
If that is not important to you, and you want to save a few bucks, HW.

This is a question that has been debated for a while, you can anticipate a number of answers, as well as several previous threads you can read.

I chose HW G1 1100 kv..... for my K8...... does all I want...... no problems yet.

I do have the HW max5 in my kraton 8S as wel, its a beast. I was wondering if the extra 200 amps that XLX2 can handle makes any noticeable difference. The data loging part i don't care about to be honest.

12S capability for less money, seems like an easy choice. Hell, I'd do a Max 6 G2/5990 in there before installing a hazard.

The 1100kv motor is “only” 8S. 800kv and bellow are 12s capable

For a DBXLE get a Max 4 and have the 12s capability or stay with the stock electronics that are already 8s.

I meant ESC, motors aren’t going to have any substantial performance differences on a basher like that.

Thnx for the offer, but shipping to europe, import fees and taxes wil most of the time not make it worth.
