Just wanted to say thank you for finding the correct Robinson racing pinion and sharing the link to it as well. It helped me with my build.

[@BriansRCStuff]

Awesome, thanks for taking the time to thank me and looking in the video discription. I was pretty frustrated finding it and I am glad I am helping others be less frustrated!. : )

[@scappellos]

very nice mate! I had a lot of problem with the pinion, was stuck in the stock motor and I spend like 2h to swap into the new 2845, with a bit of thread locker I was able to use it (so far I ordered one that is still on the way). Dunno why I bought the 30A and not the 60A, I think it is indeed better with I was still not able to try it on full throttle yet ! :D And I'm still stuck to find the right tires, I love the 903 but I'm looking for another option (I have a few sets but no one I really like)

[@BriansRCStuff]

You having a hard time controlling it? Mine for sure is a handful! What KV motor did you go with? How did you end up getting your pinion off? I guess the 30a might be okay because it is such a light can and you can’t stay in the throttle for long! What brand ESC did you go with?

[@speedslidesandspeedrides1728]

Will my motor connecters 3.5mm 2845 4400kv surpass hobby motor also fit a 60a esc or should i change them ? Yours sincereley Aaron from speedslides and speedrides

[@BriansRCStuff]

Hi Aaron! Most ESC's come with 4mm bullets so you will probably need to change them. if you are going to change them, you may want to go a little bigger than 4mm (unless they are incorporated into the ESC itself. I use 6.5 which is kind of too big for a 60A unit but I use the bigger stuff as my 100+ mph Bandit draws a lot of amps and it is nice having less resistance with the bigger bullets (though at lower amp loads it doesn't make much difference. Just check the ESC and see if it lists the size bullets it comes with.

[@speedslidesandspeedrides1728]

@@BriansRCStuff thanks man ! Than i think iam going to order the 3.5mm to 4mm plugs conversions adapters. The motor did fit in the 60a hobbywing max 10 off my traxxas and worked very good on 3s.

[@reitplace4765]

Great stuff bud. HobbyWing is a great ESC for these guys. A+++ Content Bud. Keeper RIPPIN!!!!! 👍

[@BriansRCStuff]

Thank you! I love how flexible the program is compared to my Surpass Hobby ESC. At $38, sure it is more expensive but still reasonable (plus very compact).

[@reitplace4765]

Yessir. Get what ya pay for usually. Plus you could use that in allot of other rigs it will do you well.. I have learning Brushed version for my daughter wl144001 been very pleased with increased performance over stock. Always learning good stuff brother.

[@feverexplosion1968]

How did you put the 4.0 mm connecter from the motor into the 3.5mm esc?

[@BriansRCStuff]

If you watch the video, you will see I used a Hobbywing ESC as that motor would have likely not worked well with the stock ESC and even if it did work, it would have likely cooked it! I had to solder on 4mm bullets.

[@raylan-ub3zb]

What steering Servo are you running pal

[@BriansRCStuff]

Stock 👍

[@petervenner2450]

Hey Brian, this video is awesome!! Quick question, any chance you know where to source the little red/orange gaskets that go between the motor and motor mount? I'm switching motors in my 16889a pro but I plan to replace everything rather than remove the mount and pinion so I have the stock setup intact plus the upgrade setup. Only thing I can't seem to find is that little gasket. Any help would be awesome, thank!

[@BriansRCStuff]

I haven't looked for the gasket for the 16th scale trucks.... but the 1/12th scale trucks (part P101) were a pain to find! Redcat actually sold the same part and I got them but now they are out of stock and you can only seem to source them from Australia! They are really important as I found out in another when doing a conversion on my 2997A as I didn't have one and I tried mocking it up without one and the motor moves around way too much. Let me take a look and see what I can find if anything.

[@BriansRCStuff]

Well, it seems like they are out of stock everywhere in the US and I think the P101 would be too big as it is for 540/36mm sized motors. I did not see a part number in my HBX 16890A manual for the 380/28mm sized motors. I found this part number but I cannot confirm it is the right one. HBX-5108 motor pad You can order the P101 in Australia and UK but they murder you on shipping (like $12). I am going to reach out to my HBX contacts and see what the deal is (if I can get a response). You are not the first person to ask me.

[@petervenner2450]

@@BriansRCStuff Hey thanks so much Brian for the quick reply. It seems that the motor pad is in fact a detrimental component to have in place. Most parts are super easy to source yet these motor pads seem to be quite tricky. Let me know if you have any luck. Thanks so much for your efforts and keep the great content coming!

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@petervenner2450 thanks man! I should get a response from Haiboxing soon. Hopefully they will have something of value to share.

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@petervenner2450 How about this? I cannot confirm the the MJX is the same thickness or material (it is at least a different color), but this may be an option. www.aliexpress.com/i/3256804477066651.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt

[@dimamariankov1929]

Will a Goolrc 60A ESC also do 50 MPH with this motor?

[@BriansRCStuff]

It depends on if the manufacturer is lying about it’s amp rating. On paper, it should be fine. I run a surpass hobby 60 amp ESC with a motor that has a rated draw of around 66 amps with no problems but your results may vary. :-) Also, you’ll need a decent performing battery for those kind of speeds. I would love to hear how you make out. I definitely think it’s worth a shot as it should be fine theory.

[@BriansRCStuff]

On 3S, the motor will probably overheat before the ESC. Does it look like there’s room for your ESC? Also, I would definitely turn the punch down to its lowest setting on that ESC. Even when it turned all the way down, it will have crazy acceleration. That will also make it draw less amps and not be as hard on the ESC. Reality you can only stay full throttle for a few seconds at a time.

[@dimamariankov1929]

Of course, there is enough room for Goolrc 60A ESC, I have HBX 903, but yes the motor is heating a bit, becouse of motor cooling.@@BriansRCStuff

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@dimamariankov1929 did you try mounting it on top of the servo? That stinks.🙁 I never got around to trying the surpass hobby cooling fan and heat sink combo but that may help…. Some. In 3s that motor just spins so fast it probably isn’t going to be happy running more than a few min.

[@InhumanArcher]

So i bought a 2845 5900kv motor as well but form surpass hobby what pinion gear do i need to get?

[@BriansRCStuff]

What car is it going in? In the 16890A you can only fit a 13 or 14t. I would stick with the stock 14t one. If you need a there, I have a link in many of my videos.😎

[@InhumanArcher]

@BriansRCStuff it's a sweep pro or drive pro not sure which one found it on temu.

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@InhumanArcher it looks similar to my 16890a. Can you remove the gearbox/motor mount cover and verify it is the same. If it has the same motor mount, it will say on it (the side facing out) how many teeth the pinion has…. Or you can of course manually count the teeth. Alternatively it may say in the manual. If it’s the same has my 16889a it is a 0.6 mod gear. I have a video that show the process on my HBS 16890a.

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@InhumanArcher fair warning, that motor will run hot on 3S after a couple of min. 2s will not be too bad but make sure to monitor it on 3s and let it cool as needed. 👍

[@InhumanArcher]

@BriansRCStuff alright so I took the rc apart and it seems it's a 18t for the stock motor

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I’ve got a 2845 surpass hobbies motor in 2 of my radio shack vehicles. It’s way too much for them but sure is fun

[@BriansRCStuff]

The trans holds up okay? That is outstanding. Any videos on it?

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

@@BriansRCStuff as long as I don’t floor it off the go. I learned that the hard way and blew out high gear in the frame buggy. It still does 25 in low

Awesome build!!! Crazy how stable it is with the new motor and ESC!! Happy RC’ing Y’all!!

Thank you! Other than being really prone to doing wheelies, it was great! Thanks for checking it out!

[@treb1395]

got same rc and i want to upgrade like u did...great job....sub done!..

[@BriansRCStuff]

Thanks man! It is ridiculously fast but fun in a stupid way. I might try some small foam tires to keep the center of gravity low. I wish the gearing was easily adjustable with taller gearing! Did you see the running videos? Up to 56.9 mph.😂

I think you will like this new HBX video! I tested the Urgenex in it and a 3s LIPO.

[@adamneff1600]

will the stock esc hold 3s?

[@BriansRCStuff]

It is not rated at 3s but it ran fine when I ran mine (I have a bunch of videos running it - kzbin.info/aero/PLvljFhULHkefc8RQ-9OQuqTCl1oI98Qnd). When I went to bigger tires however it would cut out violently sometimes. I never tried it when it was hot out....

[@roymak4587]

This motor is great

[@BriansRCStuff]

So far is had been quite the ripper!

[@dimamariankov1929]

Try to use Surpass Hobby 2838 6200kv, its much stronger

[@BriansRCStuff]

What makes you say it is stronger when clearly that is true? It is actually weaker as it makes less torque and draws less amps. It may run about the same speed but it will likely run hotter which is already a problem with the combination I am running. It would be a fun set up to try but be careful monitoring the motor temps at 3s.
