  • Installed the GRC motor mount and it does pretty good, wish it had a better way to get to the set screw for the pinion.

    Awesome test. You surprised the cat a few times with your jumping skills. Thanks for sharing

    my solution, drilled a hole and used a rubber plug to get to the pinion. Your right as for noise, can hear it on the bench but out and running, no noticeable difference.

    Sweet motor mount brotha! I think I wanna get that motor mount for mine, I don’t really like the plastic stock one, my motor was put in kind of cocked n made the whole truck sound like it was grinding gears caused by the vibration of the motor being angled. Great video bro

    Looks identical to several other brands. In have in both my TRX-6 and TRX-4 Sport but removed it from the Sport due to excess noise. Will remove from TRX-6 too.

    Appreciate you sharing I got there steering servo ain't hooked it up yet, I have a question!! Do you still have to pull the red wire out of the steering connector where goes into the receiver

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The 3BRC servo is awesome. No you don’t have to remove a servo wire or anything. Simply plug it in.

    Hi mate, do I’m loving your channel so much it’s really helping with my trx4 build..
    Are you still using these motor mounts ? I was thinking about getting one as I’ve just put the stock one on my TRX4 build and there is a far bit of unwanted movement on the stock plastic motor mount..

  • @tomlucasrccrawlers9108
    @tomlucasrccrawlers9108 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I bought that cover/mount awhile ago. Took some time to make it over here. Haven't installed it yet.
    You gotta have a Revolver vs. Kratos Six vs. TenShock 906 test.

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'd have to get a 1900kv Kratos motor, the 3800 Kratos I have now would be so far out of the KV range it wouldn't be a good comparison.

    • @tomlucasrccrawlers9108
      @tomlucasrccrawlers9108 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exocaged RC I'm waiting on Tom to come out with the unsensored Kratos Six version.
      If you get the chance....I'm curious how it runs without the sensor-wire plugged in.
      I was thinking about the 1900kv one. The 3700 has some appeal to it...especially if it crawls as good as Tom says. I just despise that big ugly sensor-wire always in the way....just one of the reasons i like the simplicity of the Revolver and TenShock.

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yeah he mentioned that motor to me, for the general trail guy thats just out to have fun you can get by with no sensor wire, I compete a lot with mine so any advantage is a great thing.

  • @mikeburgessrc5360
    @mikeburgessrc5360 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think the louder gear noise could be from the aluminum itself. The plastic absorbs the vibration while the aluminum is more solid so the sound is amplified through the mount into the chassis.

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yeah thats probably it. Had no issues with it, it now has a Kratos 6 pole 18 slot motor 3800kv, very nice motor.

    • @mikeburgessrc5360
      @mikeburgessrc5360 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exocaged RC looks good nice solid mount though. No flex on the mount when it torques up. 👍

      Michael Burgess I was thinking the same thing.

    • @tomlucasrccrawlers9108
      @tomlucasrccrawlers9108 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Exocaged RC You should do a Kratos motor test against vs. Revolver vs. a TenShock 6-pole 906 motor.
      That would be an awesome comparison of all three.

    • @tech78o32

  • @kevslife
    @kevslife 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Dude, I fiited an alloy kvx alloy motor mount and gear box support to my trx4 today and it sounds awful.. Like your alloy one soynds different only worse. Could this be the mesh or just the case being different? Im getting properly frustrated. I dont really want to break anything. Everything seems to run OK but that noise is driving me crazy..

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it simply could be the aluminum transferring the sound way more than the plastic does. Is yours really loud?

  • @remkojerphanion4686
    @remkojerphanion4686 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    A little work with a rat-tail file on those motor bolt holes and you should be able to reduce the amount of slop between the pinion and spur.

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I actually am no longer using this mount but once everything was secured it tightened up pretty good

    Try using a ball tip hex to get to the grub screw.....

      I’ve never had any luck with the ball tips getting a pinion tight enough to stay in place.

    Did you do a video on that winch you have there? It looks very DIY and in line with what Im looking to do with my scx10.2.

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I actually have made a bunch of servo winches but never recorded the process. It's not too bad to do, take it apart and remove the limit pin on the output gear, remove the potentiometer and the board and solder the JST connector straight to the motor tabs. For a winch controller I use a Hobywing 1060 esc

    • @recreant359
      @recreant359 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      so do you use one of those 3rd party winch controllers, or do you just have a second transmitter?

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I use my hacked 8ch gt3c radio, its awesome and I use the 1060 esc as the winch controller. I don't use any of those add on keyfob looking things. I recently put up a video of me installing a hacked gt3c radio in a trx4 bronco. Maybe two - three weeks ago

    • @recreant359
      @recreant359 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I might have to pick one of those up, didnt know they could be hacked to do two escs!

    • @ExocagedRC

      Oh yeah, they can do more than that and I hack and sell them if you decide to get one.

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      From what I was told the SW4 is the best non sensored brushless esc in production and it works best with a 6-pole, maybe give the Tenshock motors a try, I have a video of them already.

      Exocaged RC could you tell me what motor that is in the video, I use a simular one but I'm not sure if it over heats or what because the system always turns off power too the motor even tho it isn't really hot

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s a castle 3800kv slate motor with a 9t pinion and on 3S. It also has a castle mamba x esc with timing turned to 0. I don’t ever have any heat issues. Make sure your truck is rolling smooth with no binding anywhere.
