Thank you for this video. Being fairly new to the hobby the electric side of things seems a little intimidating as I do not want to destroy my components. I would eventually like to be able to wire my own stuff and to better understand how the parts work together. I’m using a direct powered servo simply because I do not know enough about BEC’s and want full speed from it and again do not want to kill my rigs. 🍻
Glad to see you start this series. I have only been tinkering with rc cars for about a year. You would not belive how many videos I have watched to learn basic wiring and rc workings. It's nice to find all the info on one channel..Thank you.
Direct battery powered steering servos are what gets my attention...I sure would enjoy you explaining and demonstrating their use. I would love to buy one of your bullet proof servos for my 1/10 crawler. A good video would help me justify the price of the best servo.
Love your videos! I have been building a Ryft kit to be a little more rock crawler friendly and still rock racer capable. I'm running a copperhead 10 with a 1415 2400kv 13 tooth pinion. Your products aren't well presented on the Ryft pages. You should do a video for us to see what options we have with your products and your opinion! Seems like the first thing most Ryft owners do besides a sway bar is move to a sensored system. Thanks for the content!
Great video! Looking forward to more in-depth electronics guides in the future. I would appreciate a video on the dos and don'ts of electronics with regard to how to maintain/not destroy them. A trouble shooting guide might help too. For example, I have an SHV650 that twitches, and I don't know why. It's plugged directly into a 3s battery along with a Copperhead ESC and a Puller Pro Stubby. Any thoughts on the twitch?
So on that Brushless Revolver Classic John, does it always squeal the way it does here on this video no matter how it's installed with different powered combinations?
You have most likely covered this at some point! Does the b-link work on the torque master BR-XL esc? Not sure I'll ever need to change the settings but I dont own a computer...got rc's instead lol!
Thank you for doing this series. I bet many electronics have been smoked due to lack of knowledge and lack of any “instructions” shipped with the units. Could you please also compare brands and the amount of noise they make. I hate the high pitched scream or the insane grinding sound that some brands have.
I have a sw4 paired with a 2000kv 14 pole outrunner .It does a similar thing if i dont give enough throtle. Some people say its the polarity of the motor but how you tell the diffrence between a and c cable on the motor
Yeah, I got a few tips for you too: Avoid anything Traxxas, specially electronics. Avoid any chinese re-branded transmitter, like the Tactic ones and the othersI saw you got there. Stick to the Kyosho Synchro, Perfex, The Futaba and the Sanwa transmitters. Avoid recent Axial models, Gmade and Vaterra. RC4WD are great crawlers, also the Absima ones ( CR 3.4 Sherpa, Khamba and Yucatan. They are made by a brand called Yikong, with pretty high standards and quality). The FTX Geo, the Spyder, the Fury Extreme and the Mauler, they are pretty good for the price too. And yes: I'm a newbie that started in this hobby just 30 years ago. Now, happy RC.
@@HolmesHobbies it's all good, just had to ask a question as I thought of it, cant wait for those V2's so I cant get my sherpa build moving forward, thanks for the info
Hey John it would really be nice to have a Holmes hobby’s motor in my scx24 hint hint we need some love from the man in the 24th scale world it would be awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sounds like a good excuse to buy a used bomber or an older capra. Trail trucks tend to get beat up, crawlers don't like being beat up. They quit crawling decent pretty quick.
I'm waiting on Uncle Sam and going to get the SCX10.3 Gladiator was wanting to do both. Putting a puller pro v2 and copperhead 10. If there are any available. Slight lift on 2.2 wheels.
The one thing that's VERY important about a Sensored motor is that it's ONLY to be used for crawlers and NEVER for race nor bashers, remember that! The other issue is if a Sensored Brushless packs it in, then you have to replace the entire unit! Other than that....it surpasses everything for ultimate 'creep' control.
Thanks for this basics guide. I'm interested in MOAs. Specifically the cabling of two brushed motors with two separate ESCs.

Definitely appreciate your videos. It's stuff that some people who are into the hobby don't know. Keep them up.

good to go back to basics

i got the mamba x revolver 1450 classic combo and the noise is just brilliant!
🖐🏻🖐🏻🐁👍😏 Yeees! Nice one, was waiting for this series! Thanks 🙏
The "radio" is called a transmitter, it transmits the RF signal to your receiver.
I own spektrum DX6R DX5C DX4C DX2E and TQI and I just bought a redcat 1979 Monte Carlo I'm at the point to upgrade servo to make it hop
So on that Brushless Revolver Classic John, does it always squeal the way it does here on this video no matter how it's installed with different powered combinations?
with a castle esc, thats what it sounds like . With a crawlmaster it pretty silent.
You have most likely covered this at some point! Does the b-link work on the torque master BR-XL esc? Not sure I'll ever need to change the settings but I dont own a computer...got rc's instead lol!
Yes but not recommended, it can scramble the throttle curve
@@HolmesHobbies good to know thanks. I probably will never need to adjust it but it's good to know. Again thanks.
Cool video John!! Will the new Crawlmaster V2 esc need an external bec?
It has one enough to run a radio
@@HolmesHobbies awesome!!!

Will you make a new one ? LIke this
What do you think about using CorrosionX on the electronics to protect and waterproof them?
Better for motors, silicon conformal or epoxy potting compound is better for esc
I'm about to put together the 6x6 Tamiya school bus. I'm curious as to motor options. I'm not seeing much and the gearing is odd
I'd use a 21t 550 trailmaster sport to start
I have a sw4 paired with a 2000kv 14 pole outrunner .It does a similar thing if i dont give enough throtle. Some people say its the polarity of the motor but how you tell the diffrence between a and c cable on the motor
Nvm it was my controller exp% that was messed up
Any chance of explaining why the castle esc’s have that whine to them, I have a theory but I’m sure you could explain it better.
The switching frequency is what you hear.

We need to....Hook up a winch with a BEC and without? Nobody’s done that 🦅🇺🇸💥🔥
👍
Would that "abs" be resolved with your up an coming silencer V2???
no, this was a radio issue. I'll have to figure out how to remove the ABS function or just use another radio.

Years into the hobby and they still freak me out. I don’t understand them. One of the few things that no matter how hard I try just doesn’t stick.
🤘🍻🤘
Is it best to have a sensor or unsensored motors for crawling
Either if they are designed for crawling
What if I'm doing trail too
Sounds like a good excuse to buy a used bomber or an older capra.

What do I need to build a remote control fart box
WhatAreNoisiestAndQuiterMotorsWouldBeUseful.
My big eye spys a new servo? Covering the label on the servo....lolol
Old proto for 500LP

Johnny Depp look a like!
The overhead cam is not great bud.
Yeah, it got into manual focus somehow. Caught it and changed back
