That’s cool that granite bodies can fit. The gorgon body is kinda ugly. Seems like a cool modernized alternative to the 2wd stampede. Probably more durable out of the box too
That a perfect way to describe the Gorgon it is a modernized alternative to the stampede I would say it handles better than a stampede and it is super durable with a great price point
I love your family man. I can always tell when you’re in your garage and I see the little girls bikes. Fingers crossed. I’m able to save up enough money to get my daughter this for Christmas. She would go nuts for the Gorgon.
Great 🤩I have that Gorgon too with the brushless 3S Combo. It’s a great fun car. It have so much power with 3S and very tough . This time it is one of my favorite cars. Great video. Thank you for sharing 🙏👍👍👍
Poderia por a lista de material para o upgrade dele motor esc sistema de comando controlo..queria fazer um carro assim meu amigo.belo trabalho.obrigado
where did you get the other body from? my gorgon's body is WRECKED dude. It's just glued together and it might survive one or two more runs if I'm careful
Okay, so you're one of the people who just lets their dogs crap everywhere for other people in the neighborhood to step on, apparently. Good to know. I won't be inviting you to my birthday party, which has a goodie back featuring Battle Beasts and Gen. 1 Transformers. Sucks to be you.
would you mind posting a link to all the parts you needed for the brushless upgrade? (esc, fan, motor, anything else). I'm new to RC and my son and I have burned up FOUR brushed motors on the gorgon since we changed from the stock NiMH batteries to 2S LiPo's. We didn't realize heat build-up was an issue on the first one. But the other 3 - we've been trying to be careful. The last 2 haven't even made it 1 battery pack even with shutting down the car every few mins to let it cool down (and adding a fan above the motor). I don't know if we're doing something wrong - or if the stock brushed motors just can't handle LiPo's? Or we got the incorrect LiPo's? (They're 2s - and the specs match everything on Horizon Hobby's website for the Gorgon - except they're "80C" instead of "50 C"). Would setting gear mesh a touch too tight possibly lead to burning up a brushed motor? Other than adding LiPo's - and having to reset gear mesh after installing new stock brushed motors - we haven't really messed with anything. We bought stock motors from the local Hobby Shop - not amazon junk. (2) different gorgons - burned up (2) motors each. I can't help but wonder if it's just the design of the motor cavity not letting enough airflow in there? If anyone has any ideas on what we may be doing wrong - please advise. We're newbies. The last run was very conservative with run / shut down times and we STILL burned up the brushed motor in less than 1 battery pack. Thanks in advance!
Wow ok I can try and help you with some stuff I will try and list the parts # needed for the brushless conversion in the description but I will have that info for you later in the afternoonl without a doubt go brushless but when u go.Brushless check everything and make sure your mesh is also good not sure why your brushed motors are burning up so fast that weird and shouldn’t happen
What hardware did you use that would go through the body mounts? I'm puttting a Proline body on mine right now. If I could buy the factory clips by themselves I'd go that route.
@@Joercgarage ye ive come to the conclusion that 3660 fits best.m Altough i want to go to about 4000kv or do you think it will be undruvable or too hot? Seen some use 3800kv
@@t3floz I’m running a 15t with 3200kv on 3s and the temps are good for me I would try a few different options to see what best for you and where u run at
So if I understand correctly, you should be able to go way up in kV. It could easily use a little less torque and still pull wheelies but with higher top speed. Or am I missing something?
You are correct higher kv will get you higher speeds but you can compensate a lower kv with a higher pinion another good option is the 3900 kv from spectrum
@@Joercgarage watching another video they fined a longer brush motor so that it could reach the transmission, my engine has already burned out 4 factory motors pami the battery that they sold me very strong is the gens acq 5300 7.4 v 60c

Arrma makes a receiver box for the gorgon $12 also add a 40mm fan to the rear motor hole
Yeah eventually I want to add a cooling fan
Getting Midnight Pumpkin vibes. Think im gunna build this in chrome. Thanks for the new project hehe ❤

Thanks for the body mod info!

Just watched your video. It was Awesome. I am a RC Addicte.
Thanks for stopping by 👊🏻the addiction is real 😜
You have room for a bigger pinion too. Possibly a 16t or 17t pinion should get you over 50mph.
No doubt about that it’s got 50 in it 👍🏻
The 20t that goes in the vendetta fits in there.
@@alfredomarin1646 oh nice 👍🏻
Cool intro 🎉 i enjoyed the video

My pinion kept coming loose, used the 3330kv motor and had to modify the chassis a bit but hopefully pinion doesn’t fall off again tmmr

Como voce faz para ter o telecomando original ... conectado nele? Obrigado meu amigo .grande arrma gorgon
Running 3200kv , 17 pinion 3s. It rips! Not sure on speed but i feel like it could do more... Comfortable
No doubt it could do more the Gorgon is a great entry level platform 👊🏻
So a factory Granite body will fit with this mod?
Yes I tried both bodies and they fit all that is needed is the standard granite body post
Hi my friend,. Could you tell me if i could use original ESC with a Tamiya DT03 (brushless motor to determined) and 2S.?
@@lionelgard8897 the original esc is not brushless capable
What hardware did you use that would go through the body mounts? I'm puttting a Proline body on mine right now. If I could buy the factory clips by themselves I'd go that route.
The same hardware that on the granite
Arac9701 if you are using the same body post that for the granite it will work for you
I'd like to send you some pics of my body swap. I used stock body clips with Proline body and mounts.

Hello i have a hard time understanding what dimensions the motor and shaft need to be for the Gorgon. Can you help me?

Do you know what screws and nuts you used to attach the body mounts to the chassis?
I used arrma granite body post and arac9701 hardware to mount same setup as the granite
Thanks Pal. Do you think it will still work fine with the original clip and body?@@Joercgarage
I was thinking the Granite use pins, not screws? @@Joercgarage
Just realized the screws will thread into the post and not affect the chassis. 😏
@@BeforeRobots-ch7gl no worries glad to help
tight mesh?
Not reallly I think that how they sound
Any other granite parts fit? Like wheels?
Yes wheels and tires fit wheelie bar is a direct fit just like body post
Your rear tires are on backwards
Really I didn’t even notice I will look at it when i get home thanks
