Just got the fusion pro 2300kv motor and ESC for my trx4 today, threw on some proline hyrax predator compound tires. Thing is an absolute beast, crawls anything at any pace you want and the built in bec gave my upgraded steering servo the power it needs, super fast and strong now.
I was into R/C cars and truck with a dealership in the 80's tell 1996. We started out racing with the Grasshoppers cars and the last of it was with the Traxes Blue Eagles. Monster truck where Traxxas Sledge Hammes, and Tamiya Clod Busters. Back then we could buy a Traxxas Hawk with bearings, brushed motors build it ourselves with 2 -NICAD batteries, charger and radio for under $300.00 dollars. I didn't leave the hobby it left me. I really don't know how people can afford the Hobby anymore. I loved them all like I said the hobby left me. Some bodies got a lot more money than I'll ever have. Old Combat Vet From 1970.
That’s the worst thing about rtr trucks, you start with changing motor,esc and servo. But the upgrade makes it a total new truck, especially the HW Pro. I just installed that in my Ecto and it’s so good
@@RC4all I really like the Ecto, only problem I have is, that I’m having a hard time side hilling with it. So think I’ll try some new dampers for it. Other than that I love it
I have a Redcat Gen 8 Axe Edition, so it already has a top end motor / ESC, and mine seems as loud as yours. I added a sound kit to mine, as the noise kinda bugs me. Good video, thanks !!
@@RC4all The noise has nothing to do with the motor. The Redcat transmission is known to be just about the loudest on the market. I picked up a TC8 Marksman that has the same transmission as the gen8 and it is REALLY loud as well.
I have mine in my Element Ecto and it's definitely NOT that noisy. It should be more quiet than that I would think. Hope you can get it right. I love mine!!
I have a gen8 version1 that makes same sound. I packed the trans, gearbox, and diffs with grease it helps a bit. I put the 1800 kv version in mine but then they announced the 2300 kv 2 weeks later… grrr.
You didn't set the gear mesh when you installed the pinion gear, and you didn't centre the servo before you installed it. also, set the end points on the servo before you kill it.
I have a redcat gen 9 and forward is so loud, while reverse, is smooth and silent. Ive heard several othors state the same. Ant suggestions or thoufhts? Thanks everyone!
Nice video, thx for the upload. Is that the same program card as the 1080 ESC? I don't think it's Loud bcz of the motor, I think it's just the Gen8. Mine is still stock and just as loud.
It's the same program card but you have to use the new programming sticker sheet that comes with the fusion pro because the programming is completely different, otherwise you'll be all messed up if you try programming a fusion Pro directly from the 1080 quickrun card . Fusion pro has 13 parameters of tuning just make sure you use the new sheet
Rc reviews put the 2300kv in a 6x6 hauler and that thing was doing donuts. 3300 is probably just overkill honestly. Nothing wrong with overkill though. Lol.
@@RC4all A trick someone shared with me was to loosen the motor and insert a folded strip of notebook paper (double thick) between the pinion and spur and roll it back and forth several times to shape the paper. Then pull the motor tight to the "shimmed" spur and tighten the screws. Obviously, remove the paper and enjoy. Has worked perfect many times with both 32 and 48 pitch gears. I've got the green V2 and was looking at that same motor to upgrade. Thanks for the video!
Worlds better than any tire that comes stock. I always topple over from center of gravity way before I ever lose grip. Have you tried the predator compound? It's sticky as hell. They're have different compounds for different uses.
Slow servos are slow because they're weak. Weak servos don't crawl well. Strong servos are must for crawling. Trail riding you can get by with a weak servo.
The after market servo is a great affordable upgrade, have it in two other crawlers for a couple years now and they’ve performed flawlessly. So far from junk
Got a cheap servo on my truck too, out performs guys rigs with thousands invested every Sunday. My cheap ass truck gets on their nerves. 😂 Nobody told you gatekeeping is lame? run what you brought, not your mouth.
