Excessive Force! See What's New On The Puller Pro V2 Brushless RC Crawler Motor - Holmes Hobbies

One of the most popular motors in the RC crawling world just got better. Holmes Hobbies has been hard at work revamping the Puller Pro and now a new high performance version is available, the Puller Pro V2. This new motor has been tweaked and tuned to give you smoother response, more power and more torque density. In this video, John breaks down all of the details on the changes as well as give you tips on how to install and use the motor properly. Want to see it in action? Of course you do. John straps the Puller Pro V2 into the Axial Capra and takes it out on the Holmes Hobbies course for a run.

"Parts breaking power!" Ha ha reminds me of Tim the tool man Taylor i love it

[@knutroald5332]

I tuned my mamba x based on your video. And it is sooo smooth and controlled. Transitioning from uhill to downhill is supercontrolled without any sign of freewheelingplay. I can even APPLY throttle going downhill with full controll👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼😬😬🥰

[@Trevinator1990]

this is EXACTLY the video i needed to see! im currently building a capra kit and had a 550 motor laying around, and found out it would not fit while trying to install it on the skid plate. i have an axe 550 xerun on my traction hobby 1/8 founder 2 and love that motor, but watching your test of the puller pro on another video, and you saying the standard fits in the capra have made up my mind on getting the puller pro 540 standard size for my capra! THANK YOU!

John hall make great crawler products the only thing I have not housed of yours is the servos ..I am starting a new build a TRX 4 Sport my esc of choice is a CC Mamba X the motor will be two HH 21 turn and CC 2850 slate but the last thing I need is a servo . I guess the last part I need is a good servo I do believe I will get a HH 500 ....great products and great support ...thanks to you and your staff ....

[@johnunderhill6672]

Do you have a video for electronic set up ... start to finish? Dig servo, steering servo, speed controller, receiver radio binding?

[@Martyv231]

Best motors on the market IMO. I have a newer Trail master BLE pro esc that im having troubles with. I have tried programing it multiple times on multiple different settings. The issue is when I am going down a hill and have my figure on the throttle trying go slow down the hill it just takes off on me like there is no drag brake. then as soon as I let go of the throttle the drag brake locks up like its supposed to. As long as my figure is on the throttle going down hill it free rolls. There is no down hill control just full drag break or no drag. I have multiple Mamba x systems so I am confident on my programing skills and how the systems work. Thank you

[@puzzleluvr]

How would the timing adjustment on the motor vs in the ESC compare?

[@jonnie2bad]

Hi, I put a Puller Pro R V2 4100Kv into my Pro-line Pro-MT 2WD and lemme tell you something. This thing is a animal, it is so fun to drive. I've had it almost 2 months now and have been driving it nearly every day. Getting ready to do it's 1st teardown and inspection/lube soon. I've been super impressed so far, no issues. Running it with a Castle Mamba Max Pro SCT on 2S with a 12T pinion (32p). It was shredding my 48p plastic gears i had to mod the tranny to take a Robinson spur for SCX-10. It had a Castle 1410 3800 Kv, it was a nice motor but i like yours WAY better. My bearing in the 1410 blew up after 4 yrs and thrashed the rotor and probly stator too, I'm in Florida....I think Ii might know why now. Still 4 yrs and never really lubed the bearing I guess I should have known better huh?

[@PhoenixRCCrawler]

Always the info. 🇺🇸👍🏽🐒

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

John..... I cannot WAIT until I can get one or two of those Puller Pros!! Of course I'd need an appropriate ESC... But that's one big expense that I can't wait to be able to get!! Thanks John, sincerely! Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

STILL can't wait to be able to afford a Capra!! 😁

[@grvtyboyRC]

Great video - can you confirm if the puller pro stubby supports 4S ( I thought I heard you mention voltage, but I can't find it again in the video). I also cant find any voltage specs on the website for that model. Thanks

[@deadlakerc]

It'd be great if you can show a rock crawler setup for the Mamba X I bought one from you and I'm having slight troubles I run a 3s lipo and within two minutes of running it goes from 11.4 volts about 9 volts if you could show me how to set that up on a video that be amazing to fix that problem no one else has good videos on it on the Castle link setup

[@bradkalman2353]

I'm just curious you talked about the rubber sealed bearings are there any that are polyurethane which I think might have a higher temperature and last longer than rubber.

[@MrCoopzilla]

JOHN I DO LIKE THAT SHIRT !

[@oldgeezer3324]

I pulled the trigger, I ordered this motor today I also ordered the Mamba X to control it. I DO have a question or two, a 15T 32P 3mm pinion comes with the Vanquish Ultra I ordered also. Is this a good gear for the motor? Also do I need a 3s or will the 2 S suffice?

[@nolaweezy6366]

John I can’t decide between the puller stubby and revolver. I’m running a micro x. Which would u prefer?

[@MrDyna90]

Can u go over the pro puller r 4100kv I'm so tempted to by one

[@mattiegrock7847]

I know this video is lil old but still amazing can u run this motor non sensorless as well my copper head 10 says its not water proof and i rather use my water proof one but its a sensorless ecu i live up north east and have a run coming up some snow and some streams and mud so i rather play it safe

[@jimsparks696]

Is it possible to design an open or skeletal can for these motors that allow for drainage and drying without frequent disassembly?

[@whitsrcleftovers2707]

Now I'm going to need a v2... probably the snub for the ascender. Have the v1 in the trx4. Does need more drag break.

[@savagemt2]

Whits' rcleftovers im looking at the snub and mamba x for my ascender. Not sure what kv to go with. Im sure any of them will work amazing in it.

[@CuciWaterjet]

I really love your videos mrholmes , but it just hurts me looking at your brushless setups as I can’t afford any of them .currently I’ve got you Holmes hobby 540 brushed motor. Works brilliant . I’d like to use your revolver v2.

[@DennisBeun]

Noob question (always used the brushed holmes motors with a 1080) I would like a Puller Pro V2 2700KV to put in my Element Sendero HD, but what would be the best ESC to combine it with. Looking also to add a little more weight to the truck, planning to run it on 3s

[@yiezhe]

i would like to know what esc is best to pair with it.

[@dumbdesign7850]

How about the sound level? Has something changed there too? Not that I'm dissatisfied with my puller per V1. It just makes me wonder.

[@waynemcclanahan2990]

Hi I just got a stubby puller pro an was wondering if is ok to run in a heavy rig

[@marccyberwiz]

Wish I bought more Holmes motors I have Tekin Roc412 1900kv in my VS410 pro with mamba x. How does the puller compare? Should I go with full or stubby on build like this. I kinda wanted revolver but I see you have pullers in stock.

[@brianbrigg57]

John, rewatching this I only just noticed that you said you could get more wheel speed with the Puller 2200KV than you can with the Revolver. With the V2 Revolver available in 2500KV is this just out of date or is the Puller Pro still faster?

[@willemwilkinson6102]

Hi I have a TRX4 Blazer what motor will you recommend for it and nessesery accessories to run with the motor if I do only crawling.

[@rrdeanie]

On a stock radio as well👊😎

[@gschaaf713]

does the 4274 2100kv start smoother than the R 540-L? I bought a traction hobbies founder 2 1/8 scale crawler and am trying to decide which motor to put in.

[@SuperSilence23]

Would I be ok with a 2700kv stubby on a scx10 -3 or should I go with a standard? And should I go with a 2200 or a 2700?

John. Was that your new SHV500V3 servo running on the 11.1V battery too? Can you use the Mamba Micro X ESC with this combo? Benefits of going with the smaller ESC? Many thanks.

[@TangoOne]

I think the stubby 2700 is calling my name. However it will be hard to replace my Crawlmaster Pro 13t

[@adrianharrison5208]

I would like to see a moa setup with one of these motors also, I run a clodbuster crawler and its hard to find video setups for them...

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

That's something I didn't think of! Clod Pro power!! You just need to reverse the Timing of one of the Motors. John has a Video on doing that.

[@rcmike09]

Could use grub screws to block the unused motor holes. And the last the life of the motor

[@JDSTACTICAL]

Love my PP stubby but I hate its lack of drag brake.

[@jonthomas8487]

Does the Mamba Micro X work with this motor and if so what is the advantage of doing the regular Mamba X?

[@americanmade73]

In my experience with the MambaX Micro with a Version 1 2200 puller stubby... 5.5 lbs 9 tooth pinion 3 cell Axial scx10.2 with overdrive front diff. It's one of the smoothest combinations I've experienced. Very predictable. Plenty of grunt. The active braking down slopes is awesome too. I also added a 25mm fan over the cooling fins on the Micro. I run it in a competition environment, no water. Hope that gives you some insight.

[@jonthomas8487]

Man, it would be so awesome if someday you decided to scale your expertise and manufacturing skills into the 1:1 world. I've got a little Chevy Bolt in the family quiver and one old Yota truck that makes me want to go running to EV West with all the money I don't have. Stuffing reclaimed Tesla parts into cars is intriguing but man, I just can't wait for the time to come wherein we can get awesome tuner parts for wrenching on EV retrofits and current EVs. Out here in CA the unregulated ICE fun is over [rightfully so] so I'm really looking forward to the cleaner fun of wrenching EVs. When I look into current EV tech compared to RC's it can scale, at least from what I see.

Abit of an old video but il shoot my shot. Just built a truck based on the Element builders kit, Puller pro V2 Stubby and Mamba micro X2. Truck is with everything on 2700grams. It wont hold 100% it will just roll slowly. The esc is set up as Holmes recommends on his video with regards to the drag brake and such. Any tips? Did i maybee gear down to much? Or does that not affect it at all?

[@HolmesHobbies]

That's the nature of the system. If you want more hold, you could gear down further if possible. Or shed some weight.

[@Dozern90]

Is the 2700kv 4s rated?

[@cocheautosalon506]

Which kv is better for crawling? 2700 or 1800? Is 1800 enought already?

[@HolmesHobbies]

There is no better withing the 1000 to 3500kv range, but 2700kv 4 pole is the sweet spot of wheelspeed and control. If you don't need that much wheelspeed the 2200 and 1800 is also great choices.
