So - 2 years down the road - would you still chose the same options, or were there some significant developments? Maybe it's time for another video of this kind. Just thinking out loud 😋
I'm new to this rc hobby but dang this guy's channel is gonna have me being an expert in no time! Thanks so much for all the great content really help me in deciding on what to purchase for upgrades
From deeeep in the Mountains of NY 🍻 Thank You for your SUPERB content! Just got back into RC after a 20 yr hiatus. Started in the late 80s till around 2000, and maaaan how things have changed! Just got my TRX Bronco today (and got the Losi Drag car coming soon 😂) You are a wealth of info that Ive been relying on. Could watch this channel all day and night, and no doubt I will. Cant wait to check out the TRX stock for a bit ; and slowly upgrade. TY Brother!!!
the FOC has been a game changer incredible levels of control as well, great drag brake too. love my AXE
Excellent suggestions and explainations for motor and ESC installation in my first kit build (TRX4 Sport) I always enjoy your videos, you are a great teacher.🌻
it's nice to know hobbywing has stepped up to the constant torque game. You answered a question I had with the top brushed esc. Thanks Brother.
Thnx for the Holmes hobby reference! I live in Japan and their service is superb!
This is awesome I have been researching motors & speed controllers all day for my new gate keeper kit!!!
Great to hear
Really low your videos! My 6 year old and I got into the hobby last year and it quickly became a full family hobby. I’m doing my first build now and you are a wealth of information! Thanks for all you do!
That is awesome!
I’m running the hobbywing axe 3300kv in my Trx4 defender for about 2 years. That thing is a beast, takes everything. I bash, crawl, trail, go swimming with my TRX4 and nothing stops it!
It's so good it changes the vehicle into an all purpose crawler basher. You can change the pinion too to a bigger one for more pop.
Thank You for all you work in these reviews!!! One of my favorite channels for sure!!! 1080 and a crawlmaster is hard to beat for the price. I have the Castle Mamba X with a Slate 2850 but the Hobbywing Axe is by far my absolute favorite setups. Excellent Drag brake quiet operation Bluetooth programming excellent low speed control and an easy on/off switch. Only downside is the soldering of the wires on the ESC and only compatible with their motors. Again thank you for all the excellent reviews!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!
Right on. This is very much appreciated.
@@RCReviewChannel hey bro, can you do a video for best ESC & motor for 1/8 scale and 1/7 scale on road rc cars, like the new Hobao vte2 1/7 scale or maybe the limitless, thanks.
@@RCReviewChannel hey I'm looking to upgrade my trx6 motor and esc to get a little more speed but don't wanna lose my crawl ability any recommendations. I like to play in the snow mud and puddles
Thank You for the review Francis. I know two things. The stock system in most crawlers is enough to get you started. Second, after I installed the Hobbywing Fusion system in my SCX10 it completely transformed how it drove. FOC is cheating to some but the effortless control is amazing. One I'd definitely recommend.
Great that it's switchable too. Happy Holidays mate!
I watch the channel alot and try to help my local community with this knowledge in rc
Excellent review as usual. Thank you 🙏
Thanks man, for all your videos 💪🏻💪🏻
Glad you like them! Not easy but someone's gotta do it.
I have 2 HW AF R2, 1 540L 2800kv and the 550 3300kv, and 2 Castle Copperhead 10 Crawler edition slate 1406 3800kv, Both are excellent systems and you can't go wrong either way. I tip toward the Hobbywing AXE FOC due to Integrated Bluetooth for ESC, and still much quieter than the Castle system which has been much improved for noise over previous systems.
I heard that hw 2800 better than 3300 in terms of torque for crawling... do u have any idea ??
Hobbywing Fusion 1800 2in1, perfection :)
Excellent and informative review as always. I must say its because of you I bought my Traxxas trx4 Sport. So far it has not disappointed. Great crawler! Now you have me thinking about motor and esc combo upgrade! Keep up the good work. I really enjoy the information you share. Thanks!
Great to hear! Takes a bit of effort to collect my random thoughts. :)
Fusion 1800kv is perfect for a Trx4, fits right in and makes awesome power and control.
@@AcidAngel501 Ok thanks! Will look into it
First of all love your videos and all your input. You are much more real than the other guys. I wanted your opinion on what esc should my friend put into his scx6. It's a new truck but he has had nothing but problems with the esc. Would appreciate and help.
I enjoy your channel good information. Keep up the good work. Have a good year in 2022.
Thanks, you too!
Excellent reviews. Installed the hobbywing 1080 in my trx4 based on one of your prior reviews. Love it! Now I gotta look at installing a Holmes Hobby motor 😉
You're doing it right.
Lol me to you definitely sold me on the hobby wing 1080 on my second trx motor so I’m gna get me Holms hobby motor
I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you!
What motor and esc combo would you recommend for a stock TRX6?
Great recommendations. Another: the Mofo Torquebeast 2 is a drop-in replacement for the stock SCX24 motor. Just need to cut one leg off the battery tray. Excellent brushed upgrade.
We will try that for sure!!!!
I been looking for a video like this nice
You’re wel
informative as always my man!
Appreciate it!
Copperhead 10 combo Fer my top contender on my trucks ,if not I go fusion pro 2300 on trail rigs works minty and cheaper in $ department thank you for this video was Kool to see some of the different ways to go ,should do 2in 1 comparison as well happy trails mate
For brushed the Hobbywing 1080 can't be beat, and the price is so good. I put 4 of them in my cars this year, in my Tamiya CC01, CC02 and the Quadtrack and even in my Kyosho Javelin buggy.
In my main crawler, good old SCX10, I put the Hobbywing Xerun Axe 540L R2-2100kv and damn it's amazing because you can adjust all settings on your phone while actually having the car in use. No programming card to connect, not having to take off the body or anything is just brilliant. Just open the app, adjust and keep on driving. Best thing ever.
Very good insight
Brother, thank you so much for all of your content. You cost me a lot of money hahaha. I did not hear your recommendation on the trail master sport which turn? I'll. Obviously I want slow speed. Speed controllability but good punch. Can you make a recommendation on which turn for the trailmaster? Crawmaster no right?
Thank you.
You're welcome! This is cool info indeed.
Always just professional honest unbiased opinion.
👍
I appreciate that!
thank you
Great vid as always could you pls recommend a reasonably priced esc for a 1/10 crawler with a 390 brushed motor. Was gonna get a hobbywing 1060 but i think they are only for 540 motors.
I love my tekin RX4 and ROC HD combo. So strong I usually have to turn it way down.
good to hear.
i just ordered a hobbywing 1080 esc and holmes hobbies trailmaster sport 550 21t for my trx4 sport kit build
I run the Hobbywing 1080 and Holmes 550 sport motors in all my crawlers.
It is the goto standard for us too. Often, much more expensive brushless systems are not significantly better on most rigs.
@@RCReviewChannel but which is best for a sport, 21 or 27 turn??
Thanks for the review! I'm curious... what are your thoughts on the Spektrum Firma ESC/540 motor combo for crawlers?
Holmes trailmaster sport is going for $59.50 on Amazon as of Feb 2022 vs $25 when the video was shot......
I know it’s been out for a long time but I can’t believe you didn’t review the Holmes BR-XL esc! That thing paired with their 540 magnums are heavenly
My Fusion is in the mail right now, where USPS sat on it for a week with no status updates. Got my 3s batts already. I'm currently on the stock ESC (in my gen8 v2) and a holmes trailmaster sport 21T. Can't wait.
The waiting is the hardest part.
Interesting list. Team brood is much better choice. Bruushed or brushless and outboard motors
You should add the Carisma ARC-2 ESC to the list. It's one of the best brushed ESCs on the market. It's the same price as the Hobbywing 1080 but, with more settings and a better drag brake. It also has a better wiring layout and a lower profile. Another good brushed ESC is the Radiolink Cool 9030. Lots of good settings and can handle up to 4s.
Nice , my friend by any chance you have a video or Tutorial on how to set up different sproud or opinion combination somthing like that im having problems ,will like to set it up correct thanks
Hi, just yesterday I placed an order for a Furitek LIKO Pro Brushless Combo Kit from Ebay for my SCX24 Jeep. The total price was $130.84 with free shipping. So excited can't wait to receive it and install it! 😁
Welcome to the club.
@@RCReviewChannel I received it installed it, OMG the slow crawl modulation is amazing!!! I recently upgraded it with Treal weighted beadlock wheels gray/silver with HOPLEX 1.0 55mm by 18.5mm soft rubber crawler tires, Treal aluminum 7075 high clearance links, Treal aluminum gray center skid plate, Treal black aluminum steering rack link set (whew)😅. I also put in a GoolRC 5G Digital high torque metal gear servo, Mojuego 4pcs brass wheel counterweights, Aimrock 2-pack 8.4g brass diff covers and Coda Racing 4pcs 7mm brass hex wheel hubs. I also installed Treal Brass Steering Knuckles and Treal Rear Brass Counterweights 20g. And finally I made a weight from lead sinkers melting them into a 32g weight and mounted them on to the steering servo for a total weight of 504g. I also want to make an indoor crawler course!
It's a great little vehicle. It would be great if these cars were waterproof. I live in an area where we get snow. We already had snow and there are posts with drivers running their TRX4M in snow. Tower Hobbies carries some of the FMS cars. Are there many parts that are interchangeable?
I enjoyed this video. Great information! I have been wondering about a few upgrades to my gen 8 v2. I was thinking about the Holmes hobby 21t 550 sport. I hear the drag brake works well if you keep the stock esc and use that motor.
This is off topic as it's for my shelf queen skully 2wd stampede, but I have been looking for a faster motor and possibly esc combo for to keep it brushed. I have a ton of brushless bashers so I was just looking for something different if anyone has a suggestion. Thanks very much.
Change the Redcat ESC for sure with the 1080. The Redcat motor is not bad for that vehicle.
Hi, have you tried the rhino ve80 bl combo? Here in the philippines and also thailand almost all the competitive crawlers use this for super low cg setups
Will any upgrade such as esc upgrade.... affect my traxxas link controls ? Thanks for all your videos.
great list. I personally like the hobbywing xr10 combo, using it with a a rock racer, a rally and two drift cars, obviously with different kv for each operation, unfortunately it's not waterproof but is a cheap combo.
The whole Hobbywing line is incredible. Even the monster motors.
Bro I love you no homo. You literally read my mind! Yesterday I was looking for another motor / ESC setup for my trx-6 because my hobbywing quicrun Fusion 1800kv does not allow me to give more juice to my servos because I'm still using the Traxxas receiver. And I can't run my trx-6 lights because I can't power them because you can't plug in the Traxxas high power BC because you can't power the BEC using the darn motor! Anyways now I think I know what to get LOL
Ha, ha, I'm very happy to help.
Thx for this video I keep Burning electronics up bc the faults don’t match up
Glad to help
What about the new Furitek 1/10 stuff lizard 10 esc and motor with FOC as well? I am very curious on its performance against Hobby Wing.
What turn motor should I get for the trx4 sport, what’s the difference in turns
Best for water running? Thanks!
Hello please tell me if 4000kv would be much for a gatekeeper. Some crawling and wheel speed thanks. Your videos have got the best info buddy.
What do you recommend for a motor esc that can do some rock crawling but also rock racing kind of like what the Ryft can do?
Hi. Question, can i use the hw 1080 on a traxxas slash 2wd using the stock brushed motor? Or the 1080 only applies to crawler? Thanks in advance.
Hi there... I just got me an upgrade of the 1080 and a holmes hobbies 550 sport for my enduro rig; but there is a problem, the motor runs in the right direction but the speed is off... really fast backwards and slower forward!!! I already double checked my settings twice and they are all good. Maybe you have a solution. Thanks
Great video. I've purchased the Hobbywing 1080 ESC twice now based on your recommendations in the past. It really is a great ESC for the money.
I’d buy it at twice the price
Hi , Can you recommend me one of these 5 best engines with high torque for my HG p801 please help , thanks
1080 is my go too ecs. I have 1 Holmes motor in my Gen-8 V-1.
Sooo good for the money. That esc is money!
I am building F450 for speed. What would you recommend for motor and gears?
I’m new and trying for a good esc and motor for my 1/10 grave digger monster truck.. brushless
Im just getting into rc crawling and i have a axial wraith body but need a motor and esc what would u recommend. It has the stock trans in it
Hello. I don't know English. That's why I didn't understand what you said. Which one is best for trx-4 land rover defender? Thank you for your answer.
The hobbywing 1080 is great. But I use some random brushed 540 with 35t on 3s... I am happy. But I am not the typical crawler driver.
Yeah, ESC is the first priority in an upgrading the motor system.
Hi i have a Mn99s crawler and was wondering if you could suggest a good motor and esc. Many thanks
Love my copperhead/slate combo. Waiting for my sensor wire upgrade!
What, no sensor wire and you got it working on a crawler? That's the great thing with the Copperhead is it can work both ways.
@@RCReviewChannel oh I still have the one that comes with it, works okay until it gets wet. I'm getting the castle harness that direct connects the copperhead to the slate.
I am looking to put a holmes revolver motor in my TF2, which is sensorless and brushless motor. What ESC would you recommend for this application? I need a sensorless and brushless esc correct?
Hobbywing 1080 is a lot easier than you think. I have one. Super easy to program. But that just my opinion. And yes Holmes hobby motor. Great video.
It's not hard especially after the first time but those numbers and tiny fonts :). Also it's not like an iphone app for sure.
I was told that for my Crawler that if I got a brushless motor for it, that it may be too fast and twitchy for rock crawling. Is this true? I have a traxxas two a two speed transmission
question, I just start into the RC world and bought a WLToys 12429 and will like to upgrade the motor and ESC, I will go with the hobbywing 1080 ESC, which motor do you recommend from Holmes hobbies? my style will be 70 crawler 30 trail. So trailmaster 550 27 tor the 45t? Also, do I have to change the remote control? thanks
Does the AXE Fusion need any servicing to have it constantly waterproof?
I bought a mn82 with 280 motor. Can i upgrade to any of these motors? Or no?
What decent priced brushed esc that will run an 8 turn motor ?
Can you please do a review on the spektrum 2300kv 2 in 1? Part no: SPMXSEM1040B
Torque at Super low rpm with outrunners comes from the length of the lever arm more so than the intertia.
What the motor turns of your top five?
Can anyone help and give a recommendation? I have a tamiya quick drive (toy level) and want to change the electronics but keep the stock motor. The motor is 280 so my question is what esc receiver etc will be a good match , i dont want to fry anything? Any idea at all?
Do you have a video that has the first two esc and motor running together??
Hello i bought a axial wraith it has a 540 motor do i upgrade to a 550 and if i do which one?? Im new soo thanks in advance
I really recommend the tsky or T-Rex, less than 20 bucks, you can't go wrong.
I use a sensorless hobbywing 3200kv (3660 SL I believe) in my trx4. In my personal experience it is fine is sensored really necessary for crawlers? I do not have any cogging issues or anything I guess it is nice to have though
For slow crawling and technical stuff, sensored is definetly needed.
The TRX4 is not quite a high end rock crawler. Also, it's 2-speed tranny really helps it out with very low gearing.
Will i be able to put a yellow jacket on my trx 6?
I know you'll think I'm nutty yet I won't use anything except Traxxas certified parts unless there's no other option.
Traxxas has given me more than I've paid for even if I got scammed a tiny bit.
The box showed sunset paint job, When I opened the box it was the red on black. I wasn't deterred just more determined to achieve perfection.
I use the red on black body as my accidental bashing body and have my show room black edition body kit with sticker pack NOT Applied when displaying.
I’m very surprised the Holmes Hobby Magnum series isn’t in here. I’ve never had a motor with such smooth startup and torque.
ahh, haven't tried it. And couldn't put too many Holmes motors in this list. :)
How do I know what kv I need? I dont understand all that.
What would you recommend for cross rc 6x6 military truck? Its about 1:11 scale. Brushless motor, esc, and high torque steering servo.
I cannot say. The last one I tried, the EMO AT4 was very good.
What type of battery dose the ecs use I have the exact same one and also how do you wire th motor and ecs up there’s the extra wire where does it go?
Nvm on the extra wire idk why I said
Trying to decide on a copperhead 3800 slate or hobbywing fusion but the fusion is 200grams and the copperhead is 70grams plus another 197grams for the motor
If you don't need all that speed, the Hobbywing Fusion Pro 2300kv is our first choice
thank you i was struggling and i'm just going to make a switch what would you recommend i have a heavy trx4 and i would like a 7.4 bec compatible
Castle creation copperhead is what I have in my trx4 and it’s heavy. Works amazing!
Hobbywing fusion works well
@@sitlos. what motor are you running
I just got a hobby wing fusion on Christmas and I love it
@@matthewmulhern7038 I have the black limited edition copperhead combo, I think it’s the 1412 3200kv Sensored combo. Lots of torque and speed with 3s. Can do 4s also. My rig has brass upgrades anywhere they can go besides metal axle housings. So it’s heavy and that set up is about perfect. Great for trailing and great for rock crawling. Highly recommend if u can spend about $200 for electronics. Think it was $189? If u go hobbywing combo I would go for the v2 sets. Imo anyhow. Either way u go tho, good luck 👍
Очень интересно. А где же в этом списке всеми любимая Мamba X ? Я сам пользуюсь Hobbywing Axe 550 и постоянно слышу от своих друзей - Попробуй Мamba X - она хороша ... Им точно не понравится ваше видео.! А я согласен с вами на все 100%. терпеть писк Castle - это невыносимо.😉
My crawler is a 1/10 . Its quite heavy.. do you recommend fusion SE 1200kv for that?
I would recommend the 2300 KV. It has enough low and modulation and great power as well.
Reedy Radon 20t❤
Can you make a video on how to use the new traxxas led kit with the hobby wing fusion. I just bought a fusion and am not sure if there’s a way.
The Traxxas led power can take and input from 4 to 14v. So all you need to do is tap the power of the plug that connects to the battery.
@@RCReviewChannel I have this question to (don't have my LED kit yet but will soon), it's because the bronco pro led kit has wires that need to go in line with the motor leads, it gives the led system feedback on forward/brake/reverse to activate different LEDs.
@@paulhanson1592 yeah unfortunately that will only work with brushed motor. Maybe someone will develop a module but it's only the brake and reverse lights that will be affected. The rest of it will work.
Cheers 👍
What about furitek for 1/10?
HW1080+ Holmes Motor is soooo good for the price
It has 90% of the benefit that a brushless delivers.
What kind of battery plug does the hobbywing esc come with?
xt60
The hobbywing fusion is best.. quality functionality compact design run time time
Yes, it is unique and offers a compact and lightweight solution ideal for some rigs.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The Fusion only comes in a 1200 and 1800, the 2300 is the spectrum version.
Interesting!!! Much appreciated.
