Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster Sport 540 20t test in the Superlite 

HH Revolver or Die! I use it on my TRX-4! its my favorite motor for brushless.

@@davidbanaszak562 Hahaha Revolver or die! Love it. Hahaha

John Underhill I just look at it and say “yeah that’s climbable” sometimes they are easy and others aren’t. Then the challenge becomes who can actually climb it. LoL.

David Banaszak interesting. I’ll have to see what I have that’s comparable. I don’t have any torque masters or magnum motors to compare too. Which motor and vehicle are you interested in?

@@ExocagedRC well a magnum for start, they are waiting on cans to build more magnums at HH right now so, a crawlmaster pro and expert would be a good start even a comparable Castle or Tekin motor. and, even though brushless vs brushed isn't a real comparison for this entry level motor, a revolver would be cool to compare to.

David Banaszak I have a revolver but until we get a brushless esc with adjustable PWM I won’t run it. Yeah I asked him to save me an 11t Magnum a few weeks ago as he was out at that time. So I put the 550 in. LoL. But I think the best 540 on the market is the Magnum but at $160 or so, most people will go brushless.

@@ExocagedRC yes I concur. I too am waiting for a magnum for my enduro build.. my trx-4 has a revolver with a mamba x and I'm definitely a fan of hh products.

Stock 12.3”

lol yeah I get a few hours sleep a few times a week. Actually I have two videos recorded but need to finish up showing the build of my course and setting a course for comps. Just gotta finish the edit on them, maybe next week unless I get that new Gen8 Axe...That would be priority.

@@ExocagedRC As the Gen8 Axe should be :) I'm not one of those tree huggers (or maybe I am) but just looking for a way to set up a coarse that doesn't have a negative impact on nature. I love the ecosystem I get to experience in my front yard and would never take that for granted. BTW thanks for all the awesome info. I still feel new to the hobby but guys/gals like you make this hobby amazing.

Jeremy Baity in my yard the concrete isn’t an issue, I have deer in my yard almost every evening. If nature it perfect where you are then look for a trail with tree roots and natural climbs. Some light clearing may be all you need to do.

@@ExocagedRC Isn't it great seeing deer and other animals at home? I'm in west ga and I sit outside at night and just listen to the different sounds. Damn owl bout made me crap my britches but that's another story. I will try and snap pic throughout my coarse project. Don't laugh too hard!

Kenneth Garza I got the hw1080 in my sport with the 540 crawl aster sport. I just got my 550 delivered an hour ago. I’ll install it and comment back and let you know how it is

I have the Trailmaster 21T with HW 1080 in my Sport and really like it, I’m sure you will too.

HH Trailmaster is a trail motor works best on the trail. I have one in my AE Enduro with a HW1080 and it is awesome!. For a steering servo go with a MG959 intergy servo great power and half the price of the SAVOX.. BTW, the SAVOX 1210 is a great servo I have one in my TRX-4 Defender.. It will strip out the plastic servo arm like nothing.. make sure you use the traxxas metal servo arm or a high end aftermarket servo arm. the MG959 servo is reviewed by exocaged check his video's.. His review was reason enough for me to use it in my enduro. it is awesome for the price.. not a HV servo or waterproof, but I have no need for more than what the HW1080 can put out so far... it works great on 6.5 so does the savox 1210.

Bryan Larsen I did a trail run out at Hannah Park in Jacksonville a few days ago and have a few small clips from it but nothing I need to upload. Now a buddy posted up some video he got and my Gen8 is in it. Jmhz2401 is his channel.

That’s cool. I was just curious because I see most of your crawler vids are at your place or other crawling courses. Your place looks like a fun spot.

hardcoretam I did a video with the Surpass 13t and esc. One of the reasons I stay with Holmes is I’ve not had an issue, he is based in the USA and his motors are competitive on prices.

@@ExocagedRC I seen that one. For me in the UK the surpass motors are cheaper priced due to the way they're imported. Roughly half the cost for one vs a sealed Holmes. John's a good guy and an asset to the hobby for sure. I just wish someone would work with John to distribute them over here. I really want to try one of the 5 slot sports he's selling now like this in your superlight.

hardcoretam ahhh you know, I gotta remember not everyone viewing is in the USA. Sorry about that.

hardcoretam the sports are good motors but not worth the hassle for you where you are. The surpass did ok in a normal rotation truck but not so well in the reverse rotation trx. If the surpass stuff works for you then by all means save that money for a nice lunch after an RC trip.
