Never really got into crawling BUT i really like how SCALE this rig acts on the terrian i will %100 give it that awesome aspect! I would deff try crawling with something as realistic as possible how the suspension and body roll reacts while crawling pretty cool brother👍 i have my Rcmax 55 ans 80cc for goin FAST and now my 8S baja 5B too! Nothing for exact realism like this i like it!🤙👊👍
Just got this setup, put it in my scx10.3 Gladiator! Thing was a beast before now it’s unstoppable!!! Love the control and power variant on the 3300kv!🤙👍🏻 keep it up bud love the content!!
Nice to see this rig back in action. Your Gen8 videos on USTE made was one of the things that got me my first crawler. Now I might consider getting the second version...maybe with this latest Axe also perhaps? 🤷🏻♂️
I had a problem with the same setup when I went to the 3300kv. No problem with interference with the shorter 1850kv. Running Savox SW121. Used a piece of sheet metal on servo to fix.
Actually that servo is pretty good, I run it on 7.4 volts of a bec, it's quite strong and fast. I got a jx ecoboost 36kg and 0.1 sec, that is almost the same from feeling when driving. And it has a wider steering angle than the jx.
@Ty Little I love my Sport, honestly as far as 1/10 scale with a full body and not a full on comp buggy the trx4 Sport is king! The motor in it in this particular video seemed to be power wise like my Sport was stock.
@@runnerbaba Only going off what I see in this video. My Sport is ALOT lighter than this gen 8. You are correct as far as specs on paper and the power of the motor itself. The power of this motor in a heavy gen 8 "looks" to perform like the power of a stock 21t in a light weight Sport. My Sport stock would wheelie from a dead stop, this gen 8 with a more powerful motor... not so much. Now that motor in a Sport would be sweet for sure. I was comparing apples to oranges. Apples to apples the stock motor in fhe Sport has nothing on this motor. My 12t is more like this motor as far as kv.
BTW there is no need to turn ESC off and on again after programming, you just need to click on disconnect button in the app ;) But I also realized it after 2 long months with AXE :D
@@ExocagedRC easy, the best opportunity for a new power scale trxb6 build. Love your videos Man - this is pure Rc crawler science. Chhers from Germany 😎
Great info on that mate that combo mate... Can the build in BEC of this ESC handle higher voltage servos? Like the 35kg ones and above.. Thanks,, cheers!
Well we haven’t seen this kid come out and play for a while, glad to see it and hope Vitavon will make our axles for it. I know you’d have to get them Joe. You like Vitavon the same as I do to there high quality. You don’t have any Vanquish do you Joe?
What is the life span on one of those motors? Regular use, bashing, no water or mud, easy crawling and trailing mostly. Ball park, I know there are a lot of factors but a ball park
Hello bro, yesterday i got same combo the 3300kv Axe. The motor box included a pinion ..the pinion fitted perfectly into the Gen 8 trany. But i wonder if there's better pinion for this reg. Any recommendations? Thank you from a follower from Spain 😊🙏💪💪💪
I was surprised they didn’t bring the 2700kv 550 R2 out first as that seems to be the most popular version. I was considering this for my TRX4 Sport and was wondering if the 3300kv is too much or if I’d still get good control?
I just got this hobbywind axe for wendigo i am turning it in to a crawler l should have enough power to turn them 2.2 tires what gear did you put on the 550 can you said the stock was a 17 did you put the same 17 back in ?
You mean "Scale AXE-tion". Hahaha Wonder is they put less "twist"(stagger)in the rotor to pick up power? I know they staggered the crap out of the first AXE systems which really reduce torque by destroying the magnetics. The Fusion doesn't have any twist to the rotor and they cleaned up the start-up by actually doing more tuning.
Redcat needs to get the price on the Gen8 v2 down to $299. Even with the crazy Traxxas price increases, $329 doesn't make the Gen8 that much better of a deal than the TRX4 Sport. I'd own a Gen8 if they were still $299 but at $329 it just doesn't hit the mark for me. Bummer, as I'd like to try one out..
Your truck seems to have little to no torque twist. That's the only thing that drives me crazy of mine. How did you manage to get ride of it? Thank you :)
I’m considering ordering this system for my wendigo, do you think this system will work well with stock gearing and will solve the cogging when on rocks, I also have other smaller 5mm pinions down to 14t if needed
Nice to see gen 8 back in action! Love Axe system now better then before!!! Whoop whoop...
I really want to see more of this truck! Really like the scale look of it while driving. Did awesome! Great video
😅😅😅😂😂
Hobbywing has some nice setups. Love going back to my scale rig to get that challenge.. 👍

Yup, that's the bl system I finally get, gotta be ready for USTE in Feb. Thanks Joe, good video.
When you order, use a link in the description.
I have been running the OG 3300kv 550 AXE in my Gen 8! The body falling off is one of the reasons I changed to a Creep body!
LoL yeah but man in some ways it’s kinda neat if it happens at the right time.
I got the hobbywing 540 and 550 using a raw 500 on both rigs and I’ve never had motor/servo interference
I was waiting for the morning upload lol. Look forward to your uploads
Thank you. I’m trying to make sure I keep them coming.

Awesome man. This is the SAME truck just different motor/esc.
That looks like the new power system for my trx4. The axe system has been out of stock forever!!

Running a 21t and love it. Gonna change coast setting after watching your vid thanks!

Luv my new axe 3300kv r2✊🏽🤓! Sweet vid Mr. Exo a proper vid on the axe R2 thanks and stay safe and dnt wrk 2 man!! Theirs always time 4 tiny trucks🤓
Thank you man!
Seems to be almost identical power and speed of a stock trx4 Sport. Which is niiiice! Love the look of it!

@@ponypwr No. Trx4 Sport is Like The 2100kv 540er Axe Foc. 2700/2800 and 3300 have way more Power and Topspeed. But also great Low speed Control.

That thing did pretty good on the off camber obstacles!
Haven't seen the gen8 in a while

I tried that with this one and it simply didn’t drive at all until I turned it off and back on. I’ll try again and see.
@@ExocagedRC maybe FW issue, why would they remove it? It’s probably the best feature
I guess the creep trx 6 is counting the hours to be powered by it 💪
I wish. The motor is too long to fit a Capra belly.

I have a few small vanquish parr’s and pieces, nice stuff for sure.
They seriously need to make a standard 540 version of this R2 so it works in the Capra.
Yes they do.

Control is there no problem. I just ran the 2100kv in my Sportish and man it did great!! I hope to have that one up tomorrow.
@@ExocagedRC I gotta have the 550 can, no 540’s for me
Hooking up this system to my trx 6 am I going to loose any stock traxxas featurs like cruise control
That’s in the radio so I don’t think you’ll lose it.
Is that a 550 or 540 can?. Does this mean that the axe's are gonna be in stock again at my local hobby shops? Cuzz they have been out for awhile.
It is a 550 can
Do you say which pinion you were using? I’ve got this coming and have a 14 t waiting to fit.
17 tooth
Is the ESC able to be setup & programmed without using computer, phone, or laptop???
It will plug in and drive but if the rotation is reversed you’ll need to connect to it. There may be a way with the remote but I don’t know that way.
Great video! Does the motor combo come with pinion gear like in the Old version?
There was no pinion with this one.
Okay. Thx for fast answer!
I just got this hobbywind axe for wendigo i am turning it in to a crawler l should have enough power to turn them 2.2 tires what gear did you put on the 550 can you said the stock was a 17 did you put the same 17 back in ?
I think I put a 17t back in for this one
@@ExocagedRC thanks
Will this fit the scx10.3 the jl version love your channel bro 👌 keep up the good work 👍

I know they staggered the crap out of the first AXE systems which really reduce torque by destroying the magnetics. The Fusion doesn't have any twist to the rotor and they cleaned up the start-up by actually doing more tuning.
I haven't taken this one apart but its supposed to be staggered like the first axe motors.

I haven’t done anything to it at all with the suspension. It still has some TT
@@ExocagedRC Mine is probably defective then. Do you think the custom brace you did to remove the bump steer also helped with torquer twist?
Can u put one in the trx6 would love to see the R2 in that monster
Wont fit in my Creep6. I’ll see if I can borrow one for video
Is it waterproof so I can take it through water crossings.
The system is but water will get into the axles trans and tcase. You will have to service them afterwards.
@@ExocagedRC thanks for the info.
Hay man great video thanks
I’m considering ordering this system for my wendigo, do you think this system will work well with stock gearing and will solve the cogging when on rocks, I also have other smaller 5mm pinions down to 14t if needed
yep will work fine
@@ExocagedRC outstanding thank you
Крутая моделька РедКет😉😉😉
That's a monster. Did you keep the stock pinion (17t) and spur gear with this axe system upgrade?
Same size pinion but this motor has a 5mm bore so I had to use a different one. Still 17t
@@ExocagedRC Thank you sir. Just got my axe in mail and gonna try it out!
Is there any improvement in performance compared to the previous AXE550 3300KV?
Yes, the punch is stronger and it can do normal drive/brake/reverse.
@@ExocagedRC Thanks, my TRX6 is going to get faster!
I was wondering what battery did you use, 2s or 3s?
3S
Could you compare the 550 and the 540L in an future video?
I can but the difference will be simply more torque and speed on the 3300kv
What pinion would you go with on that I’m putting it in my gen 8 too
Well you see the 17t. Heck I’d probably my do a 20 and see how that works out.
heck yea awsome
Hey do you think this would fit in the gen7?
it should, especially the 2100 or 2800kv versions
@@ExocagedRC awesome thanks for the reply
i really like the gen8
Me 2
Please put it in a 6x6
It will fit a normal 6x6 but not mine due to the Capra belly I use.
1!
