Nice, looks like the red one is sale today. Yesterday is just was just the silver one I posted. Glad I was able to help a fellow forum member out
Personally, i'd just as soon go for a hobbywing 8BL150 G2 though. Same price, 6a BEC (vs the firma's 5a), and has hobbywing's reliability factor. The only downside being that you have to use the programming card to change settings.
agreed- I got a 8bl150g2 for 55 on Ali during the last sale.
I’ve gone the other direction, I went with a new Gen 1 Max 6 for $99.00 on AliExpress. That was a deal, but even now they’re only like $110.00 or so. If you don’t need or want a sensored ESC the OG Max 6 is one groovy, bulletproof workhorse of an ESC. Knock on wood, I’ve yet to have one fail!
Thats a great price on a great ESC! Honestly, I don’t know why they don’t get more recognition.
+1 Max6 G1 is one trusty ESC. Has been a go to for the 6S line and X-maxx's for a very long time.
Agreed. I’m not sure if they’re still making the Gen 1 units, but I’ll be sad to see them go. I’ve never really hankered for a sensored system on any of my bashers (not that the new sensored Gen 2’s aren’t awesome) so my go-to upgrade for 6s has been Max 6 for years. It’s great to see them offered for +/- $100.00! I have two spares NIB, so I guess that will have to do me.
That's a good deal for someone who doesn't do jumping. I hope this means they are going to expand on the 2023 lineup soon
I think we need a SWB and XLWB using the kagama suspension.
Yeah, the Muraco is basically unchanged since 2021 as far as I know. So with that, it still has the XP diff input/output cups, which are not as good as the spring steel cups found on the Sketer, Asuga, Kagama or Spark models. Not sure if TC ever added the T2T brace to the Muraco either.
Do you think they found some old stock?
I don't think it's "old stock" per se, but those models haven't been updated since 21, though the Kronos XTR roller was last updated in 22. Now discontinued I believe, Kronos was replaced by the Kagama, but parts are still available. I have a 21 XTR, my bro has the Kronos XP rtr. They're both pretty solid I think. We mainly bounce off one another while racing around a track at my place, so we're not out there jumping 50+ feet or anything. My 21 XTR came with the XP(black) drive cups, which wore so fast that TC warranted them. They sent me the spring steel(bronze colored) cups FOC. My brother bought his rtr in late 22, it has the XP cups, but I don't see them wearing nearly as bad as the originals on my XTR did. Perhaps mine just had a bad batch, IDK. I'd say if you know you're going to "bash" hard, with lots of jumping, maybe stick to the newer designs, such as the Kagama, but for "moderate" bashing, the older XP models are pretty capable.
