We found the brakes a bit on the soft side with the box stock settings, but we easily changed them with the Leopard programming card. How It Drives: The ESC programming was perhaps not quite the best that we’ve felt from a dead stop, but we experienced no cogging and it was quite smooth. Overall, if you are looking to blow your buddies away that drive stock X-Maxxs, yes, this system can easily do it, and do it on just 6S.
Btw, we found that this system still had more than enough power to wheelie the truck over on its lid at any speed. While the previous Kershaw system we reviewed had more “put it on the lid” torque at any speed, the 150A/5874 system was a bit softer, but still a big step up on raw power over stock. Power off the bottom was intense, it had solid pull through the mid-range, and it had more top speed than the stock Traxxas tires could handle (we measured 46 mph before the truck was undrivable). However, it was still a LOT faster than the stock Traxxas system. Power: Compared to the last Kershaw system that we reviewed, the smaller 150A/5874 combo was not as burly. If you are noob it will certainly be a good learning experience, one that might leave you asking a few question on the forums to complete correctly.
MAX 6 ESC X MAXX INSTALL
If you are a hobbyist, the install and ESC set-up will be a breeze. The larger bullets are supplied, but not installed.
MAX 6 ESC X MAXX PLUS
The ESC will need the battery connector of your choice installed, plus you’ll need to solder on the larger bullet connectors to fit the motor wires. You’ll also need to do a bit of soldering. A Futaba 4PX transmitter was used to control the beast while a Kershaw X-Maxx motor mount and pinion were used to complete the install.Įase Of Use: You will need to use the Kershaw motor mount for the install in addition to a Kershaw pinion to ensure proper gearing (we used a 24). Castle 6.5mm connectors were used for maximum current flow from 6S worth of MaxAmps LiPo power. Set-Up Notes: We put the system in our review X-Maxx that is all stock except for electronics. Kershaw Leopard 5874 1550kV Brushless Motor Kershaw Leopard Ground Waterproof 150A ESC We’ve been driving Kershaw’s Leopard 150A ESC/5874 Brushless Combo for weeks now, keep on reading to find out how much faster it is than stock and if it is indeed up to the job of powering an X-Maxx. Being broke down all the time isn’t fun, so Kershaw sent us another system that was said to still be crazy fast, but was a bit smaller and more affordable. A couple months ago we reviewed one of their 1/5th scale Leopard systems on 8S, you can read that review HERE, but to boil it down, it put out wayyyy more power than the X-Maxx was capable of putting to the ground, or its drivetrain of handling (which is about perfect for us, but not for some people). The folks over at Kershaw Designs are hardcore about their monster trucks and large scalers. Kershaw Leopard 150A ESC/5874 Brushless Combo For X-Maxx Review
