The EZRUN MAX 5 provides the ultimate power upgrade solution for many popular 1/5th scale vehicles like HPI Baja buggy, Losi 5IVE-T Nitro-to-Electric truck, and Desert Buggy XL Nitro-to-Electric buggy.
I originally had the Max 6 in my x maxx but even though most x maxx owners use that esc it still goes into thermal shutdown, it is only the same 160a as the vxl-8s esc, so I got the Max 5 and my god what a beast! It will run 8s all day and not get hot. Plus now I have a 1/5 motor running 8s so the whole rig stays warm instead of burning hot!
