I did the Micro B with the Hobbywing mini28 and the sensored 1626 6500kv.The thing is uncontrollable at 100%.From a dead stop it will do a backflip.With this setup everything fits in the stock location and the body fits like factory with zero mods.I plan on doing a video and speed run just to know the actual speed.If I had to guess it's at least 40mph, but we will know this week when I get the chance and weather permitting
Nice build I have a couple suggestions if you unplug those plugs for the receiver and solder them in removing the pins you'll be able to get a body on without cutting it. Also those brushless motors have enough torque you should be able to gear it up for more speed no problem. Also these things have a pretty wicked under steer I found putting an extra set of rear tires on the front, replacing them skinny front tires adds a little more weight and improves the handling. Also rear tires on the front time to look pretty cool has a truggy look about it. Also take your steering linkages and flip them over that little kink in the linkage clears the shocks better and doesn't bang against them. And pardon any punctuation or spelling in this I'm using voice to text on letting the phone type it out😂
I have no confidence in that ESC, but have you measured the voltage drop across the battery leads when pushing the motor with some resistance? I wonder if the battery is able to actually keep up.
@@therchotspotI would say it’s probably the esc. I have my micro b on the hobbywing mini 28 brushless motor and esc and it boogies on stock battery lol
The motor is fine, but the problem is that ESC. It's a non-programmable crawler ESC so it's stuck with crawler settings. Ideally you want the drag brake off or around 5-10% not 90-100% like these ESCs have. You also want brakes, which these ESCs don't have, they instead have instant reverse. It works in a pinch, but it's far from ideal with that ESC for sure.
Sick video dude appreciate you trying this setup for everyone 🙌🏻
Thank you!

@@Restless2010 good suggestions
More punch, more responsive or both?
Both.
My friend put the furitek motor and ESC
I put the hobby wing mini 28 combo with a 6500kv moter with a 19 tooth pinion it is super duper fast probably 30mph if not more
Damn lol
I’m wanting to make mine brushless so bad. Just kinda waiting on the furitek system
@ it came out already preorder it that combo would be great for racing
The issue is the ESC has drag brake on the spektrum. You can’t program it.

No I havent. Only did one run with it so far on brushless

I agree.
Dang that’s a small battery

Agreed. I just figured I’ll use it right now as I didn’t really have anything else. But I might have something coming!
Have you found an ESC that works with this motor? Or is there a way to program the 8a Firma ESC?
I have something that I think will work coming this week. At least I hope it will. I haven't given up yet
Lol its slower 😂
🤣
