I think this is one of your best product reviews for people on a budget and want to improve their crawler. Hobbywing seems to be ahead of the competition. Great video.
I have the 1200kv in a capra based lcg with all stock capra gearing. 18t is about perfect, plenty of speed and punch. For 70$ it's a bargain, just use one of your 1080 program cards to program it. Use the manual as the settings on the card are different. For the same performance as 1800kv just up your pinion 1.5 times (12×1.5=18).
Sadly i have to say i had problems with the SE.The card nor the box over the usb tool would read or even programm the SE. The motor ran and worked in the car but without programming not useable. It has been send back to the dealer.
Thanks for the great video's. You keep it real. Down to earth. Explaining all things. You have helped in making those tough decisions. I like that you use TRX-4 to demo.
I have a hobby wing SE on my rig AR44’s Stealth X with stock spur and a 12 t pinion on 3s even went down to 2s and it’s still to fast to crawl oh and a spektrum transmitter what can I do to slow down.
Nice video broo, thanks... May i knows about this fusion se and fusion pro... Is it able/strong enough playing in soft/hard mud track?? Dig in full body mudding?? And is it ok, with 3S 100c battery?? Thx brother
Great review.! Unfortunately they're always out of stock here in the UK... I'll just have to pre-order one.! Thanks Francis.! Stay safe out there mate & best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ♥ 📻 🎮 🔋 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚔 🚕 🚖 🚗 🚘 🚙 🚚 🚛 🚜 🏎️ 🏍️ 🚤 🛥️ ✈️ 🛩️ 🚁.!
If you put the SE 1800kv in something like the new Phoenix RTR would you be able to add the dig and overdrive servos or lights? I’m guessing this would not work in that application.
I have it in my Phoenix rtr. You can certainly put your dig and OD in regardless of the motor. I had to trim ever so slightly a top link mount to get it in, but it was totally worth it. Easy to do.
I am getting a TF2 midnight edition in the mail any day now and which one of the 2n1 do you think would be perfect for it? 3s lipo, balance for trailing and crawling.
I have the RC4WD Marlan Crawler TF2. I'm hoping you are enjoying your truck. My self in retrospect I'm not sure if it was a good choice. But it is beautiful and very photogenic. Good luck with yours.
What does everyone think about putting the 1800kv in a brass brick TRX4 with the 2spd? I don't use 2nd gear a lot so I think I can afford to lose a couple mph, but it is nice to have. I just don't know if it would be too slow or overworked in a truck that weighs probably 13lbs if I upped the pinion a little from the 11T.
I just added this motor to an RGT 86190, heavy like the TRX4 with 2 speeds, the stock motor was too fast. Rig's 9.5 lbs, and the motor doesn't get hot at all, did a few tests! Not sure why I spent 300AUD on the Fusion Pro for my Capra! Its basically the same.
Hobbywing are going to be knocking it out the park with these at that price. I have quite a few of the “full fat” fusions and they really are excellent.
Thanks for the ideas sir. We bought a 1800kv Fusion SE and put it in my sons Stampede along with hub extensions, Trok SS tires on bead locks and it such a smooth crawled down low in 2S 2000mah. With a 3x 5000 it runs for almost 2 hours, and will back flip however the top speed is very tame still. Excellent budget crawler upgrade for any 4x4 chassis.
