I swapped my trx4 to a single speed sport trans, 9t pinion and 8t crawlmaster and it is awesome. Smooth low end, but faster than stock motor. Highly recommend these. I will be using nothing but Holmes hobbies for all of my electronic needs.

@little harold keep in mind, the sport comes with a 39t spur and 17t pinion (36:1 final drive ratio). The smallest pinion that fits is a 15t (41:1 FDR), unless you get a 45t spur. Then you can use anywhere from 16t-9t pinion. 16t/49t = 44:1 FDR. 9t/45t = 79:1 FDR. Me personally, I would try a 15t pinion on the 39t spur, and if you feel it’s too fast, or not controllable enough on the low end, switch to the 45t spur and go from there. Pinions are cheap, so it’s nice to experiment with.

@little harold for sure, definitely explore the different settings on the 1080, (I believe you have one anyway) you might be surprised how well the 5 slot can crawl on the low end while maintaining good wheel speed. Particularly when compared to the stock motor. Enjoy the new setup!

I'm waiting excitedly... did it again... he's waiting excitedly for the Crawl Master Magnum 540 11t and HW 1080 esc to arrive form HK. Not sure what pinion gear to whack on there with the 3s. Can't wait to play with my new toys. It's a shame you don't sell your products in Aus. Bought my Revolver from you guys for my Enduro kit... gotta love that whistle. Keep up the great channel, keep safe and well in these crazy times.

Out of curiosity, which 550 Crawlmaster Sport would you consider for a 3S powered SCX10II (15T/60T gear setup - can be changed obviously). It's a trail truck, one I'm leaning towards keeping it as performance oriented as possible rather then scale. Was thinking about a 15T motor, but starting to think maybe I should go a little lower. Actually, maybe a 540 might be better given it's a little smaller which might (?) keep the weight down (though I don't want to compromise on power or torque).

Also how Collins was at the comp and he's the one who actually suggested this motor to me after I saw how well it ran in his setup and he agreed that it didn't seem right that the motor smoked so fast especially w how easy I was taking it (he was watching me run and I crawl w him at his place from time to time) so prob was just a bad motor that made its way through q/a. So excited to get another and then win sok comps w my hh powerplant. I did avoid using 2nd gear almost at all mainly cause I was comping and because I I've r lead u don't want to w a low turn motor. On the stock motor tho I loved to try and blast up big dirt hills in 2nd gear hill climb style and was ch the truck try and find grip and a line while I tried to control it and maneuver it. Do I have to give this type of driving up for gods w an 8t? Not crawling in second g we but you know using second with a good run up and trying to make it up dirt hills but of the time ufl can't find traction and a line w in say 15 seconds I back out and re align my run up and ry again(truck normally flips first anyway. That's not ok to do tho w this motor right? Or was I playing it too safe and missing out on fun by not using second and not hill climbing other than in 1st? The motor smoked on a hill climb in first and didn't have the ass needed to get over the hill the first time but it smoked instantly anyway so idk what to do in that situation of I'm avoiding first

You could just gear up a bit, but personally I would put a 10t crawlmaster 550 in

How are you able to run an 8T motor when this ESC says the motor limit is 21T. The HW1080 and the Carisma ARC2 is a 16T limit so how is this posible to run this Hot of a motor on these ESC`s?

It's a 5 slot, so about like a 16t 550 in speed but amp draw more like a 19t 550

So I did the exact same setup as you just did after a couple minutes of running the motor burn up and all you could do about it is send me a link saying you don’t recommend this motor and a TRX4 sport but your own KZbin installing it but don’t warranty it after you do it and something happens to the motor not good business!!! Last Holmes Hobbies motor I’ll buy 3rd brushed motor that has did the same thing

id like to get a bit of advice off you if i could , i have a TRX4 land rover and an axial scx10 ii, i would like one more but not sure which way to go, im thinking , TRX4 sport or axial capra ?? what are your thoughts on these two cars ? both rtr versions . im not really interested in building one thanks
@HolmesHobbies
@HolmesHobbies 4 жыл бұрын
Capra is a fun scale rig, but the trx is a lot more solid. If you have a tendancy to bash or tumble down big rocks, the trx will give fewer problems. If you are a careful wheeler, the capra is a lot of fun.

@@sprather84 i dont think its because my foams are duel stage to be honest mate i think there is just a tad too much foam altogether which makes it a tight fit , i would just dismantle them and cut some foam away but i cocked up when i put the wheels together and had to use a couple of different bolts with phillips heads on them which i just cant get out now lol, ill have a look at those that you mention, i dont suppose youve had any experience with the IROKS i mentioned ? lovely tread on them but i dont want to make the same mistake as i did with the boom racing hustlers , they too have a great looking tread.
