Thank you. Very complete and I picked up a few new test procedures! Just upgraded to the 15t crawlmaster as the 12t was out of stock. Especially with the hw1080, the Holmes Crawlmaster was a very satisfying performance upgrade after tires. The vibration and operating heat of the Surpass is an absolute deal killer for me. Plus John makes humorous videos.....easy to support that😎

Amazing! Fantastic work.

[@travispratt6327]

Your step and trim tests are the most valuable, I have a surpass 540 motor and it’s surprising how good the low speed torque and control is. The drag brake is weak, that’s the only negative about it imo, the efficiency is negligible since crawlers last so long anyways.

Thank you !Amazing video.

Awesome bro..Thanks

Planning to get a 550 motor..I’m using Radon 16T rebuildable now...so how to adjust to correct timing?

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

Thanks for that and the long version.

I've been using the Surpass Hobby version in my TRX-4 on 4S for a while now. My truck is really heavy and the drag brake is pretty poor, but with the 2 speed and mega low gearing it's a good value set up.

Hi Donald,

[@zdenocharakter9616]

hi im dont understand those motors.can you recomend brush motor 550 for fast driving not slow crawlers.

[@lesdmess845]

I couldn't have done better in designing and conducting these tests - excellent!

[@vladislavstudenikin901]

Final gear ratio?

[@steverolfeca]

I really enjoy your methodical way of testing. One small quibble: doesn't the trim test with the weighted chassis just show that the Surpass Hobby motor has a more abrupt start? For controllability in slow crawling, I would be looking for a soft, progressive start, which seems to favour the Holmes.

HI~~Good video!!! Thank you!!!

[@matthieureims51]

Hi Donald, finally which motor do you advice with the more torque as possible with 2s ? It looks that the Crawlmaster 550/12T is the best..

[@qioshi9389]

Ini mungkin bagaikan hp iphome xs max= 35t 3slot / iphone 13 mini = 20t 5slot… maaf sy pemula baru mau terjun di rc😅

Holmes is the best but its x3 times the price of the Surpass.
