In this video I install and review the brand new Cedar inrunner brushless motor and the Python Pro esc! I install these mods in our SCX24 Slayer chassis and the results are earth-shattering. The new Cedar motor offers silky smooth, linear power without any hesitation or jumpiness. It's waterproof and efficient design and overall small size make it a great option for anyone looking for a serious motor upgrade in their build. The Python Pro delivers exceptional control and massive 8.4v output to run big servos with ease. This combo is built for performance and it delivers on all fronts.

Excellent review Adam! It is so great to see Furitek ramping up the micro RC electronics market for high quality options! I’m looking forward to building a micro crawler with these electronics!

@orjlan Год назад

That build is so sweet! Would you consider doing a video of your top 3 performance builds doing a round each on the indoor and outdoor course to see how they stack up against each other? Thanks for another great video.

Wish Furitek would do some full RX/TX drive train combos at a bundle price. Maybe both types of their controllers with various selections of their receivers, motors and transmissions. Maybe a "build your own bundle" type thing for those that want to do a full swap over. Maybe if you're in touch with them, you could mention it for consideration. Or do combos from their YT'er sponsored players. Have a "Cape Crawler Combo" and others with their favourite set-ups all included at a special price.

@wingnutbert9685 11 месяцев назад

@@chadhull2167 👍 Yep. If they'd give us a good deal on combos, with a choice of the Avatar or the other less fancy controller, plus rx and controller, it gets folks into the ecosystem. Then they'll buy more rx and controllers for their next projects. And likely, while shopping and getting that stuff shipped, they'll buy other stuff.

If the ESC heats up like that, i would think about running 2 2s. One directly to the servo and one for the esc motor, and bypass the BEC. they could be pretty small and still give lots of runtime w a motor so efficient

@abudhabikid Год назад

Just de-cased my python pro (unscrew then small flathead to pry; dw you won't break it if you're slow about it) and its completely swamped with conformal coating or epoxy or something. Good chance that its as water resistant as you can get (note that the electrical connections are still a point of failure). My plan was to try and put thermal paste on any thing I can (better than thermal pads which is what I figured they'd use), but the case is not acting as a direct heat sink. So best thing is gonna either be add little heat sinks to the outside, leave it de-cased, add a little fan, or some combination of these.

@shanehall8447 Год назад

This is my one issue with Furitek. They make so many things so many motors, so many esc for the same platform how does someone figure out what to buy? Somebody needs to do a video how to make a simple for people just getting into the hobby to understand what they should buy for what purpose.

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

Very good point. Analysis paralysis is a real threat with these systems

I am having issues with meshing. I have a moforc transmission housing mount up to the furitek mount (red portion) housing. I notice that the pinion is slipping on the motor, does it need a new pinion?

@imghaniff 5 месяцев назад

I’m doubting the moforc housing as well as I feel I don’t the required freedom to position the motor since the bolt on the gear can interfere with the bolt that is threaded on the shaft.

nice video! btw, will the Cedar fit in trx4m gearbox? would be awesome if you can make a video with Cedar+PhytonPro+trx4m. then compare with trx4m stock low and highspeed.

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

Yes it will. They’ve got it available with the pinion to fit the trx4m. I’m going to order one soon and I’ll do some testing

@thercdude Год назад

@@CapeCrawlers Awesome! cuz i upgraded mine with low range transmission for better crawl control. If this Cedar set fit in trx4m, it would have perfect low and highspeed. And reasons why I avoid using Komodo because sand prone to get in due to the outrunner holes. Anyway, looking forward to your video!

@chadhull2167 11 месяцев назад

Do you also sell these after building them? This is exactly what I have wanted for a mini crawler for the longest time. Been working slowly on my scx24 which is still mostly stock but with added weight and small aesthetic adds on top the JLU body

I rarely sell any of them. I find myself getting really emotionally attached to them after building them!

@wingnutbert9685 11 месяцев назад

???- Around 11:46, looks like there's a weird wobble in the rear drive shaft. Would that be causing the ticking noise? Is the shaft out of phase?

Yes I'm having some issues with the rear shaft. I think I'm going to replace it with a steel unit

@yotday Год назад

That Cedar is very tempting. If your only ever brushless motor experienced was a Mofo SMP, would you say the Cedar is worth getting?

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

The power delivery of the cedar is very similar to the SMP. What you gain with the cedar is waterproof design and better cooling. The straight linear nature of the cedar is a slight improvement over the SMP but I’m not sure that alone is enough to justify replacing the SMP.

@stevejackson3564 10 месяцев назад

When you give it throttle, what is that? Sounds like stripping a gear sound. Is there something rubbing on something?. Or you're not running any Springs for the shock I see. It looks like a rubber band of some sort running from the shocks to the center of the servo in the front. Do they not make all will steer for these smaller vehicles?. Is there a restriction on how big of a tire you can use?. Is this a 18th? Scale & who makes this . What kind of option parts are out there mainly tires and what are the tires that everybody? It's using thanks for any help you can give me.

@CapeCrawlers 10 месяцев назад

It ended up being a wire or part of my battery rubbing on the driveshaft making the ticking noise. I run a limiting strap up front to prevent the long shocks from unloading on inclines. They do make 4WS for these, and it's a pretty simple conversion. I am running 68mm tires on this now and they still work great. Any bigger and I think I would have rubbing issues. It's technically a 1/24 scale, made by Texoma RC. He has lots of different options for the chassis

@CapeCrawlers 4 месяца назад

It's hard to go wrong now. They are all great. Cedar is water proof if thats a concern. Mini komodo and SMP are very, very similar aside from the appearance. Creeper and micro komodo are also very similar. I have found the SMP/mini komodo to be the smoothest, the creeper and micro komodo have more top end, and the cedar is like a combination of them all.
