Just ordered this brushless motor after watching your video Adam. I already have the Furitek Brushless motor in my Chevy C10 but this looks more compact so ordered it from Mofo RC. I have to say that i absolute love this channel as i’m a massive fan of the SCX24’s. You even convinced me to put the double barrel shocks in all three of mine because i really thought that they would make the rig sit to high when i first saw them. I only found this channel about a month ago and now has to be one of the best on RU-vid by far. There isnt much in the way of upgrades for these in the UK so have to order all mine from USA or China. I have now fell back in love with these after watching your channel and forgot how much i love the SCX24’s, i’m even thinking of doing a deadbolt build like yourself. Sorry for waffling on Bud i just had to tell you that this channel kicks ass 👍🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻❤️❤️
Wow, I am so appreciative of your kind words! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the content and this really motivates me to keep going. Please let me know if there are any additional topics you would like to see covered!
@@CapeCrawlers honestly Adam you have given me so many ideas in how i want my C10 to look and drive. Its us fans who should be appreciative of you Bud, taking the time to film these videos and edit them takes a lot and people just expect it without showing how grateful we are. I wondered if you have ever had this problem, when i reverse my shocks extend all the way up making the truck look like its a Monster truck and when i drive forward they compress all the way making it look like i’m running it droop style. Its had me scratching my head for a couple of weeks now and i just cant pinpoint why it would happen. Really looking forward to running the slow motion pancake motor and to see how it compared to the Komodo using the Lizard esc on 3s. If you can give the Lizard and Komodo a go, i think you will love it. Looking forward to see whats next and if i come up with something i will let you know asap. Take care Bud and thanks for making these videos, for the 25 mins or so all the worries seem to disappear 😜😜👍🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Fantastic video and review, Adam! No need to be embarrassed. Your authenticity is incredible and keeps us watching! I’ve never considered brushless in any of our crawlers, but after watching this I might pause on the Deadbolt purchase and go brushless with one of our SCX24s. Thank you for being real and pumping out these clips. Looking forward to seeing more runtime 👍🏻
It’s crazy how well that chassis responds to upgrades. I would like to do a similar build but without portal axles. Maybe use injora +4mm axles with black brass links and brass everything else for weight bias. I like the micro Komodo or the venom because the torque is great so maybe I will do something like that. Nice build though
Thank you for making these last couple videos. You convinced me to pull the trigger on my first brushless setup as well. I got the same exact setup as you. Really excited to get the motor in the mail 😈
If you’re interested in still keeping the relatively heavy battery up front, with some driveshaft manipulation you can flip your skid plate 180 degrees and you can have the pancake rearward and the battery in its original position. Great video as always.
That’s so amazing and yeah when you see the outrunner motor you will always say wow oh my God that’s what I always 😅say when I see my it’s so amazing to see the mechanic like you said❤️💯
Oh man that is super cool! So much control, the slow crawl is insane! I'd love to convert to brushless, but it is not in the budget at the moment. Definitely seems like the way to go though. Very cool video Adam, your enthusiasm is great! Thanks man, take care!!!
Man you are like a kid in a candy store 😁😁👍👍 But I got no room to talk because I’d be the same way yeah love it, as always appreciate you sharing Yep I’m here watching
Just put the pancake motor in my gray bronco, along with the new grasshopper chassis it is sitting super low now. I haven’t ran and tested yet waiting on parts
Great review and genuine reaction. We build & run these rigs for fun, right :) I upgraed my Gladiator with the Furitek STINGER brushless power combo, (Lizard Pro ECS, Bluetooth, Micro Komodo brushless motor, CNC motor mount). Really pleased with the upgrade, but the price to performance of the Lizard Pro ESC is high, ($80 on the Furitek website). As a cheaper alternative for my Deadbolt, I tried the PN Racing 90T brushed motor & mount kit, ($54), with stock v2 ESC. I have to say I prefer this setup to the Furitek brushless. Slow crawl is good and much better high speed. Before you give up on brushed systems, I'd be interested in your opinion on this setup. Enjoying your builds and reviews, keep crawlin.
You prefer the PN racing setup over the furitek? Is that from a cost versus benefit perspective? I am very interested in the setup you suggest and I’m thinking it could be a great addition to my c10, which got the V2 electronics from the gladiator. Thanks for the tips!
@@CapeCrawlers Soz, yes I prefer the PN racing setup from a cost vs benefit perspective. IMHO, my Deadbolt with the PN motor and stock v2 ESC performs as well if not better than my Gladiator with the Furitek Stinger combo. I may have lost a little on the slow crawl, but not enough for it to matter when actually on the rocks. Obviously the trucks are different builds so not really comparing apples to apples. Plus the Furitek setup just seems unreliable, losing transmitter connection on most runs. That hurts when paying premium prices. If you do try the PN Racing 90T, I'd recommend you flip the motor so it mounts to the rear, much easier for battery placement in the front. Note, you may need a longer front driveshaft. These rigs are too much fun :)
I'm putting the Komodo micro with lizard pro in my Kyosho mini z Jeep Loved your reaction to this absolute GAME CHANGER Wonder if you'll buy the Komodo micro motor in your JLU to compare against the mofo motor Oh and thanks for all your suspension tips 🙏
The V2 electronics aren’t compatible with the lizard pro but the V1 works. Swapping them is just a inexpensive and convenient way to get the system up and running
Super cool review! Next game changer would be 4WS (4 wheels steering), I believe. Mounting front axle and servo at the rear, replacing transmitter and receiver with 4WD-capable one (I am using Futaba T4PM).
