FMS is bringing it this year! I can’t believe how fast the high speed motor is. FMS’s price points on parts are so much more affordable than most others. It really feels like you get way more for your money with the quality. I’ll be adding this one to the growing list of upgrade parts to grab off of FairRC whenever it’s available for sure.

Awesome to see this motor wake it up and be a simple bolt on upgrade! Been on a living room basher kick with the ramps and the kiddos have a blast watching them jump. The rage trek has been great too, really fast and pretty durable. Have yet to break a part with a few hundred jumps so far. Just picked this smasher v2 up after seeing how highly it was recommended and definitely not as quick but nice to see the speed motor will get her up to speed. Thumps up!

I know this is an older video but man the high speed motor is fun. But even with the heat sink it gets hot quick. Like 5 minutes on concrete and gravel driveway quick. And that was just driving around not jamming forward to reverse or putting a huge load in it. Already time to upgrade driveshaft. Thinking might be better to out the low speed in and just by the k5 body and tires. And just do the crawling and something else for bashing like a mini lmt

If you get the one from Furitek made for the fcx24 then it will be. It comes with the transmission,motor and plate to mount the motor. The one for the scx24 has a different bolt pattern & has a shorter motor shaft so the pinion won’t line up with the spur by the time you add the plate to mount it.

Question: Where can I buy FMS parts like the HO motor you have? Could that HO motor go into Axial or Panda? “I realize there could be a some drama with the preinstalled pinion mounting in a foreign case”. Are the FMS trans cases as durable as Axial cases? Are the FMS cases bushed or bearings?
@2fmrc Жыл бұрын
The motor and most parts can be found at FairRc (link below) You could definitely mount this motor in an Scx24 with a mount like the one for the MofoRC big block (share the same mount holes). You’d have to remove the pinion and install one that works with the scx24 because these are an odd mod 4 pinion. The Fcx24 has all bearings in it so no issues there and the trans has been pretty solid. It is plastic gears so I’d recommend the treal metal gears because I have stripped a couple once adding more power. shrsl.com/3qqab
