Hobbywing V10 G4 17.5 Full Motor Test and Review

[@connorclark8541]

Have you looked into comparing a rwurks r1 17.5? Ive also heard the blue rotor in the v10 works really well. Thanks for the info

[@wutupclegg6618]

I have not tested the Rwurks. I did look into them, but they are quite pricey. However, they are on my wish list.

[@LuisCerecedo-be7no]

Excellent video! How can I find this device to test the rotor on the market?

[@wutupclegg6618]

Hello Luis. Thank you for the compliment. I made a video that talks about all the tools/devices I use to test the motors. You can find it on my KZbin Page. It's called "What I Use To Test And Tune Brushless Motors."

Very nice work sir. Thanks for sharing.

[@wutupclegg6618]

Thank you. Is there a motor you would like to see tested?

[@baxrok2.]

@@wutupclegg6618 Unfortunately no. I just last week bought the Surpass Lightweight 17.5 based on your impressive review of it. It was extremely helpful to see the Surpass data compared to the Slot Machine. Members of my club run the Slot Machines and they are very fast indeed. Hopefully, the Surpass will bet me back in the game. Thanks again for sharing!

[@wutupclegg6618]

How did the Surpass workout for you?

[@baxrok2.]

@@wutupclegg6618 It ran fine but made no difference in my lap times. Disappointing but clear evidence that my driving is the problem!

What are your motor temps after a race?

[@Itzzen1978]

Great Video. Pls Test the Team Zombie Evo 2 17,5t Motor. Greetings from Gernany.

[@wutupclegg6618]

I will put that on my list. Is that a popular motor out there? Not too popular in the US.

[@MX-CO]

Is the new G4R faster?

[@wutupclegg6618]

I have not had a chance test it yet. A lot of racers were not impressed with the G4. I think that's why the G4R came so quickly after the G4.

[@mhelander1337]

If you were going to use a motor box stock, would you go with the hobbywing or fantom?

[@wutupclegg6618]

It would depend on what I was racing. The Fantom had a lot higher RPMs, but HW showed to have a bit more torque. On-road, I would go with the Fantom. Off-road, that would depend on the track. Tight small tracks, I would go HW. Bigger and faster tracks, with longer straightaways, I would lean towards the Fantom. But, that is my opinion. Others, I'm sure, would love to weigh in.

[@KacKLaPPeN23]

Any advice on what to pick for an onroad motor where FDR is limited (but otherwise outlaw as in no roar, efra, whatever certification needed)? I feel like all these new torque monster motors wouldn't really be beneficial in a scenario like that.

[@wutupclegg6618]

If you don't need a ROAR certified motor, I'd go with an outlaw. Lower your spur gezr teeth and raise your pinion teeth.

[@KacKLaPPeN23]

@@wutupclegg6618 Gearing is fixed in the rules, so that won't fly.

[@wutupclegg6618]

@@KacKLaPPeN23 Hello Kac. Which gearing are you referring to? The drive gears? If I had to race a motor with fixed drive gears, I would choose a Fantom RS.

[@KacKLaPPeN23]

@@wutupclegg6618 Yes, basically we're not allowed to go below a final drive ratio of 5:1 (which isn't very tall at all for 17.5 TC). Which would be a 38t pinion and 100t spur with an internal ratio of 1.9 for me.

[@wutupclegg6618]

Agree. I believe I mentioned that in the video. If you have a fixed gearing, I would definitely go with the Fantom RS. It runs about 3,000 RPMs than the other motors I tested.

[@jamesmooney7538]

I would like to see a gen 4 Tekin motor on that dyno BRO

[@wutupclegg6618]

I'll put that on my list. I just ordered parts to rebuild a G3.

[@jamesmooney7538]

@@wutupclegg6618 there isn't one g4 Tekin motor reviews

[@wutupclegg6618]

Were you able to see my review of the G4?

[@jamesmooney7538]

I did see it also a great review...Sadly it looks good on paper but garbage at the track...Surpass V5/6 still better

[@wutupclegg6618]

That's what i have experienced.

[@trfmarc6480]

soooo hw or v6?????

[@wutupclegg6618]

Just a by going off of what racers are saying, the V6 is a better motor. By going off the test results, I would lean towards the V6. It has. Lot more torque.

[@tHe_ViL1aiN]

43:36 talking about price 🤔 what about muchmore 13.5t @ $137 from amain

[@wutupclegg6618]

Yeah, they are very proud of their motor. That price is the reason I have not purchased one to test.

[@tHe_ViL1aiN]

@@wutupclegg6618 lol no problem, ill message you if I ever see them on sale

I know one of their team guys his motors run pretty insane. Very fast

They are good motors.

Thank you

Not the hype lol

I hear it's great on short tracks. Just lacks the top end.
