In this video I try out two new motor options for the Traxxas TRX4M: the PN Racing 180 63t and 90t motors. These are a direct replacement for the stock motor and require no additional mods to run. They both offer solid performance gains over the stock brushed motor and offer enhanced cooling and efficiency. Check out the video to see them in action!

Another informative video, always look forward to them. And it's great seeing how your son is getting involved. Give him the tools now. 😊

I really like the big block from mofo over the injora motor, I'm really thinking about getting one of these to try too.

I need to try the big block in one of these

@MofoRC 9 месяцев назад

If you want the BigBlock, You should check out the 2 new motors from mofo rc, The BigBlockX for high speed and the TorquebeastX180 for all around everything.

@rcglock9608 9 месяцев назад

It's not the water that killed the motor. All motors will run under water. It's the dirt and gunk that does it. Clean out the motor real good with some electronics cleaner (a bit like brake cleaner but safe for electronics) and it should b fine

@tundrasr5709 9 месяцев назад

I've broke in slotcar motors in water.

@rcglock9608 9 месяцев назад

Yes I've seen people break in motors in water

@Spoo76 9 месяцев назад

Agreed, brushed motors are DC and are fine in the water, but the debris can cause problems.

@Spoo76 9 месяцев назад

@@tundrasr5709that was very common for older style motors with different style brushes. It's definitely NOT recommended for the cheaper non serviceable motors with cheap non replaceable brushes. I've never bothered with the PN racing motors, but you could break them in the old school way just fine.

@tundrasr5709 9 месяцев назад

@spoo76 yeah, that was 20 years ago when I raced slotcars.

@reprieverc 9 месяцев назад

You really should try an isdt70 esc on the blue one with the crawl gears. Especially given the fact you're using the higher speed motor. That esc will unlock the motor's potential and is unbelievably smooth on throttle management given the Bluetooth tuning capability. It's a 10th scale ESC so it has a good amount of everything the 4m will ever need. You'll just need to decase and solder more appropriate wires and ends for the application. I'm really hoping you see this and try it man. I have 2 videos running it on my channel and those are on stock motor. It's so smooth

@CapeCrawlers 9 месяцев назад

I will check that out!

@FishHardGetLucky 7 месяцев назад

Any issue with breaking driveshafts or anything after the motor replacement? What did you use to make the spare tire holder in the blue truck? Thank you

@mpeasetrailandcrawl 9 месяцев назад

Love watching your video and builds. Have you tried the new Meus Racing gears 25.87:1 instead of the 40:1? They make a great inbetween gear running a low turn motor. Im running them in my k10 and love it. The more options the better for these trucks.

@CapeCrawlers 9 месяцев назад

Thanks and yes, those gears are great! I put them in our Ripper build. Great combo of slow speed smoothness and wheel speed.

@Arturito2017 8 месяцев назад

Meus makes a gear set inbetween the Low gears and Stock gears

@The_RC_Guru 9 месяцев назад

Breaking in the brushes before installing helps a ton. I use a shot glass full of 91% isopropyl alcohol. Submerge the motor in it and for 30 seconds go 1/4 throttle. Then 30 seconds work to half throttle calmly forward and reverse. You can do a couple full throttle at the end. Blow it out with keyboard compressed air or regular compressed if you can. A drop of 3 in 1 oil on each end install and go. Perfectly seats your brushes and extends motor life. Helps performance too being properly seated.

@CapeCrawlers 9 месяцев назад

I agree. He's ready for it!

@AnyAssumptionBanter 9 месяцев назад

i would have assumed that changing the motor wouldn't change much of the feel of the power curve; I would think the esc makes the biggest difference. but, could it also come from any slack in the drive train and gears that there's some dead spots and some of the jumpiness.

@Spoo76 9 месяцев назад

Both the motor and ESC could stand to be upgraded. They don't offer the best performance, they're just budget RTR parts to get you started.

@CapeCrawlers 9 месяцев назад

ESC will make much more impressive gains but the motors do help

@ethanvissers6018 6 месяцев назад

Hmm. I’m trying to get the most torque out of my high speed gears. I’m still running with stock motor 87 turn. Would this pn 90 turn give me more smoothness and torque?? I’m doing a pulling sled build

@RCCrawlerz209 9 месяцев назад

Still gotta get me one of these. Lol Wanna find me some screw on wheels like these stock ones, they look dope! Although.... Dies it come with that spare tire in the bed?

@Gamyrc 9 месяцев назад

In testing these motors we decided to market them as he tested them here because it offers a range of speeds in both motors but if you want extreme slow speed control the 90t motor is the one to go with. The only downside is that if you are running stock esc the top speed is diminished a lot but that happens with the stock motor too. The advantage of this 90t motor is that it can handle 3s and that will gain back that top end speed with crawler gears and add much more torque. For this you need a 3s capable esc which is extra money but if you want to really squeeze every benefit from these 3s is the way to go 👍.

Hey cape crawlers I have a question. I am wanting a scx24 and I want to put the ultra24 kit on it. Any tips?

@CapeCrawlers 9 месяцев назад

Start with a deadbolt, that seems to fit the Ultra really well. You can run a micro komodo without chassis mods if you want to go brushless. I wouldnt suggest going any bigger of a servo than an Emax as I ran into fitment issues.

@corybraden9177 7 месяцев назад

The stock esc is so terrible. Even the 370 injora motor is pretty good with my 1080 quick run
