Secured by Stripe
Built with the most rugged and high-quality components and coupled with cutting-edge firmware, the EZRUN MAX6 is able to deliver unmatched power and performance for even the most hardcore of racing applications, but is also responsive enough to protect itself from damage due to overloading due to physical abuse, overuse or even human error. This ESC is applicable to various 1/6th & 1/7th scale vehicles like the Traxxas XO-1, and also suitable to various 1/8th scale heavy vehicles like the CEN GST-E. It's the ideal option for high-end aggressively powered builds.
With incredible acceleration capabilities and a rock-solid, stable output, the MAX6 can handle instant full-torque start-ups for wheelies, high-speed racing on straightaways and powering through the bumpiest terrain. The user will have the choice of adjusting the ESC parameters as per his preference and ability.
The MAX6 has adopted the world’s first HV built-in BEC with an output current of up to 25Amp and a switchable output voltage of 6V-7.4V. The high voltage BEC is designed to handle today’s high voltage servos on demand used by large scale vehicles. The MAX6 also features an electronic switch with a lifespan of over 50000 on/off cycles, housed in a completely waterproof, dust-proof and shock-resistant design.
The MAX6 is built with internal anti-spark circuitry that protects not only battery connectors from damage but helps to prevent physical injury due to burnt fingers from the inevitable issue of sparking when hooking up the ESC to higher voltage battery packs (5S/6S/7S/8S).
The waterproof and dust-proof design allows the MAX6 to be used in all weather conditions without any issue of damage caused to the ESC from water or dust

Questions & Answers
I am sorry we do not sell one that will fit.
You would look at something like this P-CC110004
If you can physically get it in yes it would work fine but it is larger than the original motor so may need an aftermarket motor mount (which we do not supply).
That motor is too big - something like this would work nicely HW38020376
Gearing is a very personal choice depending on what you are doing with the car etc, with the 1650kv motor you will be able to gear this fairly high.
Running this motor on 6s you could gear this fairly high, so something like a 29 tooth ARA311049
I would use the standard gearing that comesfrom the factory if you are not looking for overall top speed.
you will need to solder the battery connector on to this ESC
This motor would be to big for the standard motor mount on the sledge.
Some soldering will be required with this combo
Yes, I've seen customers run these in the EXB with great results
Hard to quantify exactly how much more speed, but this would produce a lot more power
I think 6S is probably your sweet spot, MAX5 would be safe on 8S
Apologies but at present under the pandemic we are not soldering sorry
These don't have a connector - they are ready for you to solder on your choice :-)
Likely a bit big for the VS - you'd be better with say HW38010400
These do not have a battery connector
I believe so yes
Yes we can do this for you - just give our team a call on 01543 577278
The motor is 49mm diameter, 86.5mm long.
The ESC is 70 x 56 x 46.5mm
