I fell in love with the axe system. Even put 3300kv in bomber w/ 15t pin. The bomber crawls and bashes beautifully... awesome video...

[@gunnerperez57]

I'd like to see a video of that!👍

[@imchris5000]

you should get a set of digital calipers so you can show size comparisons easily

[@runnerbaba]

Best Crawler Combo on the market.

[@RCPropaganda]

dang they changed the sensor wire so now I can not use new esc with older motor. I will have to get a new kit then take old setup out for an other rig I guess. I tried to run a 550 motor and got the interference. I had to go back to a 540 in the truck it was in.

[@imchris5000]

I like the old style screw in plug way more its a more positive connection

[@ExocagedRC]

The new one snaps in and holds really good, seriously good lol I almost didn't get it apart while recording lol

[@charlesbaril3038]

you missed the "real time data" in data log. its live telemetry

[@grey-adventures]

Biggest reason I would have for buying the v2 is the BEC. The v1 BEC didn't last long. Do love the AXE though.

[@rezzrollinrc]

Sweet Mr. Exocaged Rc ✊🏽🤓.. I luv mine 3300kv r2 and it Rez approved haha.. stay safe man and don’t work to hard bro..

[@DRockDreamin]

Read my mind again! Just bought one yesterday and couldn't find anything on it

[@ExocagedRC]

LoL I got these in last night.

[@rezzrollinrc]

The Charlie show has a review hobbywing official website ✊🏽🤓

[@MrLunithy]

WOOT!!

[@rileykairc]

Just got the 3300 one it's going in my crisima range rover have to get a pinon to fit as the one that came with the kit is to small hopefully it will work well in the range rover

[@northernlightsrc8994]

Ordered one for my gen 7 pro...what kind of top speed can this motor hit?

[@rileykairc]

@@northernlightsrc8994 I saw someone testing one of these and it got between 40 and 45mph in the RC he was using on 3s ,I ended up fitting this motor to my ftx mauler it's a customized build it's a beast and goes very well with a 3s 5000mah lipo in it wheelies no problem at all good for crawling to

[@louisloudogtrottier3310]

For the R2 i downloader and used the app v2 at worked just fine. Not HW link, but Hw Link 2.

[@rc-daily]

Why you gotta show me this? Now I need a new trx4 to put one in. I see a divorce in my near future

[@Hiergibtesnixzusehen]

🤣🤣

[@watchurheadrc721]

HI LIKE YOUR PAGE LOTS OF GREAT INFO. ? COULD YOU DO A INSTALL VEIDO WITH THE 550 R2 IN A REDCAT GEN 8 TO SEE IF THE PROLMBLE IS SLOVED THANKS

[@ExocagedRC]

That’s a great idea. I haven’t ran that one in a while.

[@NCMOUNTAINSbackyardRC]

Looking forward too,, some crawling 👍👊

[@ExocagedRC]

lol you changed it up?

[@louisloudogtrottier3310]

got the 3300kv to put in the trx6 hauler. It's gonna fly lol

[@fernsolo]

Great information 👍

[@serkan5001]

Hey man big fan keep up the great work. Question!!! I got a HW axe R2 esc combo in a stock Traxxas 2021 bronco. Best way to add light?

[@ChaosRC666]

Man it sucks with that smaller plug... Just ordered my vanquish phoenix. Have a 1800kv V1 in my gmade BOM and I planned on just getting a 2800kv motor for the phoenix. Guess I need a new ESC as well!!!

[@havn2muchfun]

Normally love the videos and information, but couldn’t get through this one. Way to zoomed in with to much movement to compensate. Otherwise keep up the great work

[@ExocagedRC]

Sorry about that

[@SargeScum]

@@ExocagedRC I love the healthy interaction.

[@JoryDion]

been searching the internet everywhere but where the hell do I plug the ESC fan?

[@ExocagedRC]

Into a receiver port

[@solocracker9521]

Do you know if the 550 will bolt up right to the traxxas trx4 with no modifications

[@nj2033]

Yes it will. I use the older model, which is longer than the R2 in my TRX-4

[@nj2033]

You'll have to get a 5mm bore pinion though if you're coming from a Traxxas motor, which uses 3.175mm pinion bore

[@onemansvideos2134]

Wish they would work on the programming for the max6 and max5

[@ExocagedRC]

Me too, they are old and dated by modern standards.

[@onemansvideos2134]

@@ExocagedRC the spektrum esc the max6 version they do software updates for it 😀 i don't know why hobbywing doesn't

[@bobsennick7403]

I was hoping for an adjustable throttle curve like the Castle Mamba has. Nice little updates, though. My favorite changes are the smaller plug and the 'washing machine filling up with water' software progress graphic. ;)

[@ExocagedRC]

lol yeah that was neat

[@sammygonzalez7627]

GREAT VEDIO, THANK YOU 👍

[@paulmatlock5969]

Show me that the 540L will fit into a Capra with a little mod!

[@ExocagedRC]

I posted in the community tab, it takes a lot of cutting of the right lower link mount to make it fit, it is not a direct bolt in.

[@thegreatrc9302]

Im kinda confused on the Hobbywing AXE 550 ESC, so if I set the built in BEC to 7.4V, my mini servos ( locking diffs/high speed low speed servo) cannot handle it as it only runs on 6v. What should I do if I wanna use the built in 7.4V BEC on the Hobbywing AXE so I can upgrade my servo to a higher end one without destroying my mini servos? And I also have the Traxxas light kit installed. thank you for the help!

[@ExocagedRC]

I think JX has small servos that will work on the HV, as for the stock servos you can keep the bec at 6v, and run an external bec to 8v or so and use a servo bypass adapter to get around the receiver, you will essentially have dual voltages at that point

[@RC.4Life]

Hi! Do both the 550 and 540 fit the scxiiii? Which one would you recommend, brushless, sensored and waterproofing is a must. Thanks! Looking for a combo esc as well ^^ :)

[@JRLdesigns]

I got a defective motor :(. Makes a loud sound when stressed the tiniest bit. But nice video!

[@ExocagedRC]

Did you see my running of the 2100kv in the TRX4? Kinda the same thing but it still runs fine.

[@JRLdesigns]

@@ExocagedRC Yeah, but mine makes the same noise on first gear. But great video!

[@runnerbaba]

@@JRLdesigns just do the firmware update. Its gone then

[@runnerbaba]

@@ExocagedRC just do the firmware update. Then its gone. Perfect

[@JimmyHusain]

Did not know the "L" is the new thing in the R2. That for sure won't fit the VS4-10.

[@ExocagedRC]

yeah a tiny bit too long for that, I hope it can fit the capra. I'd like to get the 2100 in there, we will find out.

[@DRockDreamin]

@@ExocagedRC That's my plan, really hope it works

[@Houleigan]

I have the V1 3300kv in my Predator Gen 8. Only thing I dislike about it is the length of the sensor wire is really short.

[@BradHedges]

They sell a cable extension. About $16, IIRC.

[@Houleigan]

@@BradHedges Thanks for the tip!

[@daig1984]

Cool video thinking 🤔 about getting the 550 for my trx4 as standard motor is crapping out! 11 tooth standard could I go up a tooth or two?

[@ExocagedRC]

Start with stock pinion. Then go from there.

[@madrc9781]

lol having issuess getting mine xerun axe work as it should it doesnt go forward how it should and it doesnt go backward as it should

[@marcofabiopala]

Hello and congratulations for the video, my name and mark, I wanted to ask you if it is possible to put the "hobbywing BRUSHLESS AX XERUN 540L 2R-2100KW FOC + CRAWLER ESC" motor in my model "Double E Land Rover Defender D110", thanks in advance .

[@rjrcnunn4908]

Yes you can as long as you have the room for the longer 540 motor.

[@marcofabiopala]

@@rjrcnunn4908 grazie

[@MrDevo5]

hi ,ive fitted the 3300kv system in my trx6 , and now the steering has ceased to function correctly. the servo works at standstill but pull the trigger and the steering stops working . any ideas please?

[@marcochavanne4749]

I'd make sure everything is still seated in the RX

[@ExocagedRC]

the older systems can have interference with the servo and or motor encoder because of close proximity to the servo motor magnets

[@MrDevo5]

@@ExocagedRC hi. it turns out the rx has malfunctioned and infact died on me

[@TheIbisian]

Hello, can this AXE R2 combo also been used in a 1/10 race buggy? If not, what makes it crawler specific? Thanks!

[@jonathanbarnette8713]

The axe 550 r2 motor will it do good crawling and top end speed matched up with the max 10 censored esc?

[@Cachapeluo]

Why use the xerun models instead of the axe models for crawlers?

[@ExocagedRC]

It is the same FOC as axe. Just a newer revision.

[@capracoins4317]

I’ve thought about ordering the 2800 but after this video I don’t know if the 540 would work in capra

[@ExocagedRC]

I don’t know either. I plan to test fit with a Capra trans and belly I have on the table. I’m at work now so it will be possibly tomorrow before I can do it. The slightly longer 540L may be an issue with these in many popular vehicles.

[@capracoins4317]

I look forward to watching as I do all your videos

[@MudSnowTube]

Does any model fit well on axial capra? do you recommend 540 or 550? 2800kv OR 2100? THANK's!

[@ExocagedRC]

I like the 2100kv Holmes. 550 preferred.

[@Distracted_driving_kills]

Could I run my 2800kv 540L axe system in my traxxas 4tec if I turned off/down the crawler specific parameters??

[@marcochavanne4749]

What pinion do you reccomend for an Axe R2 3,300 in a TRX6? I have had a hard time finding 5mm pinions. Feel like the one included is a scooch too big.

[@ExocagedRC]

12t worked great in mine

[@alexchapman5872]

Can you go through a mamba x setup like that

[@ExocagedRC]

I think I have done that a few times in the past.

[@alexchapman5872]

@@ExocagedRC oh dang guess I haven't gone deep enough into your videos. I just programed mine and have been playing around with the auxiliary wire and the radiolink rc6gs v2 and there is stuff in the castle link for crawling that I haven't seen in other videos.

[@northernlightsrc8994]

Ordered the 550 3300kv combo....putting it in a gen 7 pro...what kind of speed can I expect. Going for a wendigo killer build. My truck has stock 47T pinion 84T spur What combo you recommend for a mimic of a 3:73 gear in real life....top end but with some torque

[@northernlightsrc8994]

Mine is the xerorun version

[@ncunit2l]

Do I need to change spur gear to 45t on the trx4 for perfect gear meshing?

[@ExocagedRC]

Not really but I like that spur on the trx.

[@tomv3361]

@@ExocagedRC Is it quieter?

[@Cachapeluo]

Would a 540L fit a Vanquish VFD transmission?

Not from what I’ve been told.

[@bmxgod2013]

How do you get shit as soon as it come out and also you ask me it’s stupid af that they switch the plug now you gotta buy new motor and esc if you you can’t find old axe system

[@ExocagedRC]

I almost always pre-order these things ASAP when I can, usually I'm 5 days to 2 weeks late on these, I got lucky this time. I can find them on ebay right now but no where else.
