So getting ready to upgrade ESC/Motor Combo. I’m debating between the new mAx 8 G2 2250 KV combo and the Max 6 1650 KV combo. I’ve searched to find a comparison on the internet but it’s about one or the other.
I like the max 8 for higher BEC voltage and amperage, supposedly superior cooling, and being sensored which isn’t super important.
The max 6 for larger motor, can run 8s even though I’ll be 6s only but gives wiggle room to keep it cooler. The ESC fan will be upgraded so not worried about that. A bit worried that extended run times on max 8 g2 with 6s will send it to thermal more often.
Back story on rig, I’ve upped diff fluid to 60k-f 500k-c 30k-r. Also am putting in treal steering block, rear hubs, Servo mount and steering assembly. Along with m2c chassis, shock towers, front and rear braces, and the ESC mounting plate too. Also a HV 45KG Servo. It runs 45KG/0.085 at 8.4v and 39kg/0.10 at 7.4v. As well as I have my eyes on the fine mesh grublock motor mount as well. This is my only rig atm and want it to be as durable as possible.
I know this will weigh the rig down and has me leaning towards the max 6. Is there a reason why I should do the max8 g2 over the max6 other than the higher BEC which can be achieved with an external BEC.
Thanks for any and all help.
