In RC buggy racing, upgrading the motor and ESC to a higher KV rating (e.g., 2,250 KV) and using a matching 4S battery system significantly improves performance compared to lower KV motors running on 3S batteries, as demonstrated by the Corally Python's transformation from sluggish to fast when upgraded with a Maverick Quantum Flux XL motor and waterproof ESC.

Team Corally Python so fast you can’t see it!!
Added:Hello there ladies and gents.
Just this is going to be a quick video.
Welcome back to Size Leg RC by the way.
How rude of me. Quick video.
Python's had a little bit of an overhaul. Not not cosmetically obviously.
Cuz it just looks perfect anyway. It has had a little bit of an overhaul. Let me show you what we've gone and done.
Let me just get the Let me get the pins out chaps.
There may be some grass still in this.
Yes, there is. Fantastic. I love I love it when it's just still full of crap.
Anyway.
So what eventually Basically what happened with Look at the state of it.
Honestly, I'm it's absolutely disgraceful. Please make sure you clean your RC's and look after your RC's boys and girls. Cuz it's not right when you just leave them like this. Anyway. Uh basically what happened was it had a it had an animal motor in it hence why it's got this big animal cooling system on it. It had an animal motor in it. The motor finally gave up.
Um and the ESC The ESC gave up then the motor gave up cuz I changed the ESC and then it all gave up. Now, what I've done is I've put the 4S system out of the Oh god, what was it called?
The Maverick Quantum Flux XL. So yes, you may be sort of thinking Oh, sacrilege. Absolute sacrilege.
So yeah, Maverick electronics in Corally Python. Team Corally Python.
It's an older car. This is an older buggy. So you know, who cares? Just chuck whatever. As long as it runs and as long as it makes me smile, I don't care.
But it is the um let's have a look. It is 2,250 kV as you I'm reading it as I'm you know. Um it's called the FLX 10 3674.
There you go. And it runs 4S on this lovely matching waterproof ESC.
When I took it out, hence the grass, I am Look, I am going to clean it out, right? I will. I promise. When I took it out, I ran it on a 3S Turnigy battery. Now, I've never had a problem with those 3S Turnigy batteries. The old motor would was like a rocket on 3S in this car. Um you guys will have seen the videos.
When I ran this on 3S, it seemed really sluggish. Really, really sluggish. And I said to Richard, "What is going on?"
We think we worked out the issue. When this setup was in the Maverick, we only ever run it on 4S. We run it on 4S, and that's why it obviously seemed a lot quicker.
So, I'm charging that 4S now.
It's going to get chucked in.
I'm going to chuck it on the track. And because I'm going to go and chuck it on the track over at Ashley Adventure Shildon, I'm going to put these on.
These are just a a slightly better tire for the for the Astro Turf track.
So, watch this space.
Got a Senton coming around, and then we've got a bit of old school.
Knocked it off.
Get some air.
That's how you bash a Nitro.
Looks like we've got a Grom coming around in the background.
Don't know if it's the brushed or the brushless.
Can't tell.
Whoop.
The Python's hiding out the way. There's absolute carnage on here.
So, we've got a Senton over there. Oh, Richard's Senton coming around over the jump.
Nice little jump. There's children on the track. There's tiny little Arma Groms on the track that keep flipping over.
It's just chaos at the minute. Chaos.
Apologies for the wind, guys.
>> I'm going to buy one.
YES, RICHARD.
DAMN MAN, THAT'S THAT'S WHEELS.
WOO!
STRAIGHT OVER THE top of the Python there.
Oh, it's over. It's over. There's a child on the track again. He's going to rescue the cars.
Top man.
Richard's back in the game with another Synchro behind him. Ah, Richard's gone.
Making easy work of us. Gone.
Long gone.
Oh, dear.
Little grom, little grom. Yes.
Child on the track.
Tiny cars everywhere.
It's all going Pete Tong.
Dear me.
These these tiny amateurs.
Child pit crew rescue the Synchro.
Get up there.
Oh!
>> [laughter] >> It's spinning on its head.
That's it. Just just run away. Run away.
Oh my god, there's more children on the track.
Joked among.
We'll call it a day on this.
It's over, boys and girls.
The end is nigh.
Python wants again.
As you can see, that's not meant to be wedged out of there like that. That's bent back a little bit. So, we're going to have to do some jiggery pokery when we get home.
That's an absolute weapon. Love that.
And I completely haven't binded that to that transmitter as well. And I can't be bothered to take the the the receiver out.
I've just had an epic epic time on the bus track door two syncros some sort of nitro hobby order to convert it to battery obviously the python and at one point the four of us were racing mint and it actually looked really good and I'm gutted I wasn't videoing it but if I was videoing it I wouldn't have been a race as good.
