- Shout out to: Hello RC, CreekCreeperRc & RCLifeChoseMe, Convinced me to try a brushless system.
I went with the HW Fusion SE 1800kv and I am impressed! Pretty easy install, very smooth throttle control and a great drag break.
Thanks again for watching!

Dude I love that you are makng videos. Its refreshing to see someone with a stutter do something. I worked with a guy that had a stutter and the way he used to talk about himself was hard for me to take. We worked together for a couple years and when he left he thanked me for helping him see he had an ability not a disability
Thank you I appreciate that. It’s certainly not the best case for TH-cam videos and this started with sharing videos for a buddy of mine. If people watch, I’ll keep posting videos, if they don’t, I won’t.
@@NEO-RC I just got this truck and want to modify it and your videos are the best on modding it yet.
@@vaporizer44 thanks again! I’m really glad the video helped! I’m still learning myself but learned a lot from just trying stuff.
I've been thinking about this mod...good stuff
It’s absolutely worth it and way easier than I thought it would be. Much smoother throttle control.
Thanks for watching!! 🙏👍
Nice! Glad the HobbyWing is working well. My 1200 gave me such a nice slow crawl
Thanks for suggesting it! Absolutely worth it 👍
Thank you for introducing me to a great car! It's a great video.~~~^_^😊
Nice truck I have the same one and installed the Hobbywing 1080 esc, a lot more control. Have you had any issues with your rig? My front axle shafts have these pins by the knuckles that are creeping out under normal driving. Have you had the same issue with the Atlas?
Thank you! I’ve had the same issue with the axle knuckle pins walking out. I tapped them back in but they keep walking out. Not sure what can be done aside from getting all new axles. My Atlas has been on the shelf since those pins keep walking out and I have other projects so I haven’t really messed with it much.
Great video! I recently picked up an Atlas and I really love the look of it, but it's loud and the speed doesn't modulate very well. I'm thinking about upgrading the motor and esc and you've inspired me. I've never done that before, so I'm a bit intimidated. Did you have to do any custom mounting or did the motor bolt right in? Yours sound really quiet and it looks like it modulates nicely. What a beautiful environment to run it in as well! Nice work.
The atlas was my first motor upgrade too. Not at all as hard as it may look. Just don’t couple the pinion gear (on the motor shaft) to the spur too tightly. Leave a little slack so the gears turn easily and don’t bind. I had take it back apart and loosen the spacing just a bit. Not that hard to do at all👍
Quick question, did your atlas came with a Panhard Bar? Mine didn’t and it costs me turning strength and radius
Yes sir it did. That and the steering arm are what’s limiting the front suspension travel with taller shocks. Try giving FMS a call or email, they may just send you one. Part for the atlas on FMS website are pretty cheap. You might be able to get a link set for around $20
Nice! If you drill new holes in the chassis and mount the shocks more layed down about 45° you'll get way better articulation, if thats what you want. I have the same truck and those same shocks. I bought 2 different shock mounts but neither worked great because the lower shock mount puts the shock so close to the chassis it binds.This way I get better lcg and crazy articulation.
I’ll try that thank you. Finding shock mounts that will work for this is proving pretty difficult but thank you. The desert lizards are by far the best shock I’ve tried so far
@NEO-RC I have my shocks set up with no springs installed at all. But im finding that the front end unloads quite a bit while climbing up steep inclines, so im going to try using the longest, medium strength spring underneath on the front shocks to hopefully prevent that from happening.
I noticed the shocks are rather poorly positioned but i put softer springs in mine and it made a crazy difference crawls 60° angle
Nice upgrades brother, can the front bumper be tucked in closer to the grill or will it rub on the tires?
Thank you sir, really appreciate that! It’s a solid piece of plastic so I’d have to be cut down and it would probably rub the tires.
Not a lot of options for aftermarket bumpers on the atlas either or any that I’ve seen.
@@NEO-RC It's a great car man i love it
Got one in mine, the difference is night and day
Great truck and awesome trail. Been tossing the idea of getting a fusion for my Injora Jeep. My final gear ratio going thru their gearcase is a little fast for me.
Go for it! The Hw fusions are the best upgrade for any RTR. If you can, I recommend the fusion pro but SE 1800kv at half the price is great as well. Or if you want stay brushed the hw 1080 esc is also a good upgrade.
Thanks so much for watching and dropping a comment! 👍
@@NEO-RC 😁 The hw1080 is what I'm using now, I need to try a different motor. I have big fat tires on it.
@@vinnieland6140 right on, then yeah definitely give the fusion a try👍
I found the stock esc got better over time for some reason and greasing the drivetrain ofcourse for some reaon comes dry! Do you have a link for those blue rims ??
I did grease the axles but not the drive gears. Figured that would cause slipping at the highest torque point. I’m not 100% sure if i should or shouldn’t gears the drive gears.
Here’s the link to the wheels 👍
INJORA 1.9 Beadlock Wheel CNC Aluminum 6-Spokes Wheel Rim Hub for SCX10 Pro 1/10 RC Crawler Car Axial SCX10 I II III Redcat Gen7 Gen8 TRX4 VS4-10(Blue) a.co/d/4meI5CH
@NEO-RC I did and have no slipping the only thing to worry about is the hubs stripping the rims
@@CHEESESLICER96 right on, put some grease in there. Thanks!
Nice crawling course you have! I’m kinda new to RC and I’ve been playing around with a FCX24. I really enjoy it but I’ve been eyeing the Atlas for bit. Would you recommend it?
Thanks you! The atlas is a good looking truck but it’s more of a trail truck than crawler and it’s good for those just getting into the hobby but I honestly wouldn’t recommend it for a long term use. I’ve had some issues with pins falling out of the axles. For the price it’s definitely not bad. I’ve ran it a lot and keep it greased but seems to be wearing out in less than a year. Just my experience with it.
Thank you so much for watching!!
@@NEO-RC Thanks for the reply! That's very helpful. Is there another rig that you would recommend for a newb? I do like to tinker and don't mind swapping out parts. I see you have videos on the Ecto. I will go check those out!
@@MrBowser2012 yes, the RedCat ascent fusion. I have the regular ascent and put a fusion SE 1800kv brushless motor in it and now they offer the ascent with that fusion motor already in it and it’s a fantastic machine at a great price. Really hard to beat. They are easy to work on and I’ve ran the crap out of mine and it’s doing great. The other is the element Ecto. The Ecto is my favorite but needs a little work to get it where it needs to be where the ascent fusion is upgraded from the factory and ready to rock.
@@NEO-RC Thanks! I will definitely check out the RedCat. That Ecto of yours is sure a nice looking rig and seems to run well. Watching your videos make me want to get working on my course. nice job!
@@MrBowser2012 thanks so much! The Ecto is awesome. I put a fusion pro motor in it, upgraded the steering servo, high clearance links, wheels and tires and added brass hubs on the front axle and brass differential covers on the front and rear. It’s hands down my favorite with the ascent a close second.
I kinda had to build a course because there’s no where very close to me to go crawling and having it in my backyard is super convenient. Does take some work but I’m glad I made it. Let me know how you do with your course. Love seeing others creativity with obstacles and such.
The rear seems to articulate much better than stock with those shocks
They do allow for a lot more suspension travel in the rear. The front is limited by the pan hard bar and front link length.
Thanks for watching and the comment! 👍
@@NEO-RCAre you using the same mount location as the RCLions?
@@MrCveedub for the desert lizards, yes sir I am
Awesome rig and awesome crawl spot. I just ordered a set of those blue wheels just 30 minutes ago. LOL.
Absolutely fantastic work buddy you sure knocked that out quickly👍👍 the 1800kv is the way to go and I have heard nothing but good things about Desert lizards. Welcome to the brushless gang! There's no looking back now lol
Thank you for the little push to try it. I love that brushless system and definitely won’t be the last rig I put one of those in. I did strip the set screw somehow on the pinion gear but was able to retap and get it back in but have another one the way since their only $8.
@@NEO-RC Anytime man I'm glad you are enjoying it, I wouldn't be surprised if you started picking up more brushless motors now that you have experience with this build. Pinion set screws always need locktite but then they strip out when you try to remove them lol just the way it goes.
Quick tip: If you soak, or brush the motor pinion and it's set screw with a good cleaner. Let it dry. Then thread locking compound is not needed. You just gotta get the metal clean so it can sort of bind a little when tightening. Me personally...I use brake clean or isopropyl alcohol if I run out of brake clean. Oh and DON'T use the non-chlorinated brake clean (green can). It will leave a residue.
@@chrispearce9224 great information to know! Thank you sir 👍
I am most definitely installing something like that in mine.
