POWER yessah. That truck is amazing needs a little more weight down low to stay planted . Bigger tires is what it needs that ifs is a little bulky and drags a lot in dirt and sand with the stock tires.
I just ordered a 13t crawlmaster because my 8t crawlmaster is about to shit out after so much abuse tho. I want a little less wheel speed an a little more low speed torque and better drag break so I got the 13t. But It is a 2 speed trx4 so I can afford to lose some wheel speed any way great vid man keep em coming 🤘
I really like that truck, also all your videos. Great job man. Try the Surpass Hobby 10 turn 5 slot in it. I've got the Surpass in my Gen 8. I think it's a really good motor for the price.
I have a question : if I want to put brushless in my crawler , not to go fast , but I don't want to spend too much in an Hobbywing axe, will a Chinese sensored brushless system do the job ?
Yeah if you can, get the axe. They have a few versions. The 2300kv which isn’t fast for me, the 1800kv and another one around 1200kv which is super slow. Another option with brushes stuff is to run the Hobbywing 1080 esc with a Holmes 16t Crawlmaster or evening the slower 20t Crawlmaster. If you can fit a 550 size motor get the bigger 15t Crawlmaster sport 550.
Because it’s the same size and easy fit. I am working on a new video with a 1080 esc and Holmes Crawlmaster Sport 10t. 550 size and it’s really nice but still a bit slow for me. Probably put that 8t in there.
could you help me understand why the lower turn motors are popular? i thought more turns meant more torque and less rpms, so wouldnt a higher turn motor like a 35/45turn from hh work better?
This is a big topic but I’ll sum it up. With a normal 3slot 540 motor, the best turn count is 27. That gives best torque power and efficiency, move those numbers around and you lose something. 45t less power more efficient With a 550 size motor that number is 21t. Now when talking 5 slots that changes to a 13t for the 540 size and 10t for 550 size. Hope that helps.
Exocaged RC I upgraded to 4.19 BFG KM3 in Predator. Think I’ll upgrade the servo and throw a 1080 in it to see if I notice any major improvements. I’m pretty impressed for RTR gear to. be honest.👍🏼
Anyone here have issues with how slow this motor is in reverse? I know its not going to be crazy fast being 5slot and brushed. But the motor I have has zero power in reverse
