Installing Hobbywing Fusion Pro 2 in 1 2300kv motor and Zoskay 35kg Pro servo. Redcat Gen 8 V2

Here we install the new Hobbywing Fusion Pro 2300kv motor ESC combo. This motor can take 2s or 3s and packs power and smooth crawling performance. We also put in the new steering servo from Zoskay, the 35kg Pro. Check out the links below for more information. Make sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE thanks for watching and happy crawling.

Just got the fusion pro 2300kv motor and ESC for my trx4 today, threw on some proline hyrax predator compound tires. Thing is an absolute beast, crawls anything at any pace you want and the built in bec gave my upgraded steering servo the power it needs, super fast and strong now.

[@osamabinlansen7019]

The reason your car sounds like that is because your gear mesh is too tight

[@dougburrell3450]

The way I've always remembered esc wiring is 1 to turn 2 to burn

[@standforjesus7427]

Got the green one put in the same motor and servo and added metal rims with wheel weights....it's a beast love it

[@RC4all]

Very nice, green one looks good 👍🏼

I was into R/C cars and truck with a dealership in the 80's tell 1996. We started out racing with the Grasshoppers cars and the last of it was with the Traxes Blue Eagles. Monster truck where Traxxas Sledge Hammes, and Tamiya Clod Busters. Back then we could buy a Traxxas Hawk with bearings, brushed motors build it ourselves with 2 -NICAD batteries, charger and radio for under $300.00 dollars. I didn't leave the hobby it left me. I really don't know how people can afford the Hobby anymore. I loved them all like I said the hobby left me. Some bodies got a lot more money than I'll ever have. Old Combat Vet From 1970.

[@RC4all]

Yes you’re right the hobby has gotten really pricey these days. Thanks for tuning in 👍🏼

[@MostlyGhostly420]

It sucks having to look at your trucks sitting on the workbench broken down and no way to afford parts to fix them let alone upgrade them

[@deanflorindo3674]

I’m watching this a year later I’m sure you have figured the noise out by now, it sounds like the gear mesh is pretty tight to be home

[@RC4all]

You are right about that, thanks for tuning in

[@RoadsideRC]

Nice upgrades! Should be great for that truck!

[@RC4all]

For sure, it’s a big truck so having some extra power doesn’t hurt. Now I need a drift car 😎🤗

[@rctrailcats3492]

Sweet. That's what I have in my Falcon.

[@RC4all]

Nice, seems like a great motor so far

[@Junglist3345]

Just a heads up, the stock Rx from Redcat in the Gen 8 will bind to a FlySky. It's a Flysky protocol Rx.

[@johnabelljr1997]

Nice video ❤ I would have ran the motor wires under the tower brace

[@ctownstables7209]

Great vid man!

[@RC4all]

Thank you 👍🏼

[@BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT]

AWESOMENESS!!! 😎

[@Mr450pro]

That’s the worst thing about rtr trucks, you start with changing motor,esc and servo. But the upgrade makes it a total new truck, especially the HW Pro. I just installed that in my Ecto and it’s so good

[@RC4all]

For sure, how are you liking the Ecto?

[@Mr450pro]

@@RC4all I really like the Ecto, only problem I have is, that I’m having a hard time side hilling with it. So think I’ll try some new dampers for it. Other than that I love it

[@rcdaejeonrc5878]

It's cool. I'm going to watch the video well~^^

[@echobeefpv8530]

I have a Redcat Gen 8 Axe Edition, so it already has a top end motor / ESC, and mine seems as loud as yours. I added a sound kit to mine, as the noise kinda bugs me. Good video, thanks !!

[@RC4all]

Good to know, thanks for commenting 👍🏼

[@oldmanjeepingandbiking9621]

@@RC4all The noise has nothing to do with the motor. The Redcat transmission is known to be just about the loudest on the market. I picked up a TC8 Marksman that has the same transmission as the gen8 and it is REALLY loud as well.

[@RC4all]

@@oldmanjeepingandbiking9621 good to know, thanks 👍🏼

[@slowcrawler2695]

Agreed, my gen8 is a bit loud, i busted it open and used marine grease on everything, portals, axles, trans and transfer case. Helped a little bit.

[@cd-pu5uv]

The axe setup is a great powerful motor, but these fusion pros are even smoother and just as powerful.

[@trenchpig]

I have a gen8 version1 that makes same sound. I packed the trans, gearbox, and diffs with grease it helps a bit. I put the 1800 kv version in mine but then they announced the 2300 kv 2 weeks later… grrr.

[@Pswans509]

Thanks for the video. I just installed and followed your steps but it just keeps coming unbound. Any ideas?

[@toddmcclure757va2]

I have mine in my Element Ecto and it's definitely NOT that noisy. It should be more quiet than that I would think. Hope you can get it right. I love mine!!

[@RC4all]

I adjusted the gear mesh, much quieter now 👍🏼

[@toddmcclure757va2]

@@RC4all Good!! Nothing worse than knowing something ain't right and not knowing what to do...lol

[@10feetup]

You didn't set the gear mesh when you installed the pinion gear, and you didn't centre the servo before you installed it. also, set the end points on the servo before you kill it.

[@seventhform]

I noticed you put your stock pinion back on backwards on the new motor. Maybe that's why it sounds like something is wrong??

[@brokwillie9059]

I have a redcat gen 9 and forward is so loud, while reverse, is smooth and silent. Ive heard several othors state the same. Ant suggestions or thoufhts? Thanks everyone!

[@Apasash]

😉👍

[@oscarbaezsoria1650]

Can that setup be run with NiHM batteries?

[@bmx_jojo45]

Will the Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion PRO 2300KV FOC System 2in1 also fit in a redcat gen7 sport.

[@ToombstoneX]

definetly gear mesh to tight thats the sound its making.

[@johnrich9278]

Do the receipt trick to mesh the gears

[@EricsRC]

How would you connect an holmes Hobbies SHV800 servo to that motor?

[@RC4all]

Great question, I’d send a message to Holmes for that one

[@spoiler42ify]

Nice video, thx for the upload. Is that the same program card as the 1080 ESC? I don't think it's Loud bcz of the motor, I think it's just the Gen8. Mine is still stock and just as loud.

[@RC4all]

Yes basically the same program card, I did end up adjusting the gear mesh and seems to be a bit quieter now 👍🏼

[@ConditionZero76]

It's the same program card but you have to use the new programming sticker sheet that comes with the fusion pro because the programming is completely different, otherwise you'll be all messed up if you try programming a fusion Pro directly from the 1080 quickrun card . Fusion pro has 13 parameters of tuning just make sure you use the new sheet

[@idontcaresapo8233]

Do you have to charge the receiver? Or can I just change the motor alone

[@cd-pu5uv]

You can change just the motor, plugs right into the receiver and ESC is built in to motor so you can remove the old ESC. Highly recommended upgrade.

[@mitchellbarr971]

Should I get the 180 or the 270 degree servo for my gen8 v2?

[@RC4all]

I’d go with the 270 and just make sure to set your end points if you’re able.

[@gizmo1383]

@4:50 It looks like you put your pinion gear on backwards; not sure if that has anything to do with it.

[@RC4all]

I loosened the gear mesh and it’s much quieter now

[@Trail_Blazin_RC]

Gear mesh is way too tight, hence “the noise” Mine is very quiet.. Nice upgrade

[@sammygonzalez7627]

Are those stock rock sliders ?

[@RC4all]

I got them on Amazon, here’s a link to them. amzn.to/3D8iUx8

[@justinnantell9732]

Did the fusion come with the program card?

[@RC4all]

It sure did

[@cd-pu5uv]

The one I bought didn't. They might sell the combo but I had to buy the program card for 10 bucks. 150 for the motor. Well worth it.

[@PilotRyanMedia]

I upgraded mine with Spektrum and still noisy. I think it’s the gearing that makes it noisy. Fix it and let us know. Can’t stand the sound of mine

[@RC4all]

Yes gearing may be it for sure 👍🏼 you definitely hear it coming 😆

[@johnmesa4994]

I also hear Gear Mesh not motor😂

[@jebrc]

Sounds like the mesh is to tight

[@zanderflander7880]

Gears are screaming bro!

[@RC4all]

Yes they were, luckily no longer screams

[@shanethornock5965]

I just put it my TRX4 and it is no where near that loud.

[@crocsonletsgo9665]

No speed run?

[@RC4all]

A fast walk lol

[@crocsonletsgo9665]

@@RC4all a 2 speed might help that.

[@ConditionZero76]

Redcat gears are loud as is but yours is whining on top of it which is a clear indicator your mesh is way to tight

[@westcoastrider3008]

Gear is tight? Take a strip of paper, and run it in the gear mess thr paper should not tare if you have it right.

[@canadianbacon6536]

Should I just get the 3300kv? I have an axial scx10 6X6. Thinking about getting the 3300kv and a vanquish 3 speed.

[@cd-pu5uv]

Rc reviews put the 2300kv in a 6x6 hauler and that thing was doing donuts. 3300 is probably just overkill honestly. Nothing wrong with overkill though. Lol.

[@mattward4184]

Mesh too tight on pinion gear

[@Ck91143]

Kinda sounds like the mesh is to tight

[@RC4all]

I’ll check that, thanks 👍🏼

[@johnbentley2926]

@@RC4all A trick someone shared with me was to loosen the motor and insert a folded strip of notebook paper (double thick) between the pinion and spur and roll it back and forth several times to shape the paper. Then pull the motor tight to the "shimmed" spur and tighten the screws. Obviously, remove the paper and enjoy. Has worked perfect many times with both 32 and 48 pitch gears. I've got the green V2 and was looking at that same motor to upgrade. Thanks for the video!

I am so tired of seeing proline hyrax tires they're not that great of a tire I don't have a scale trail pattern and I hate them I'll never own a set

[@cd-pu5uv]

Worlds better than any tire that comes stock. I always topple over from center of gravity way before I ever lose grip. Have you tried the predator compound? It's sticky as hell. They're have different compounds for different uses.

[@nikolajc7617]

Just not very realistic speed on the steering servo.

[@RC4all]

Just has that sweet amount of power though

[@cd-pu5uv]

Slow servos are slow because they're weak. Weak servos don't crawl well. Strong servos are must for crawling. Trail riding you can get by with a weak servo.

[@ulisesromero3693]

Junk? It’s a pretty damn good servo for the price. Only a fool would think it’s junk

Got a cheap servo on my truck too, out performs guys rigs with thousands invested every Sunday. My cheap ass truck gets on their nerves. 😂 Nobody told you gatekeeping is lame? run what you brought, not your mouth.
