Let's Talk Wheel Speed! See When It Can Help Your RC Crawler - Holmes Hobbies

[@Spoogitywoogums]

I'm fine with both at once. Bless the person who came up with the two-speed RC transmission

[@kherchia73]

This guy knows his motors and electronics, in addition to loads of good humor! 💪👍🔥👊😂🔝

[@donniethompson7485]

Does it matter my trx4bronco bronco has a 21t and do I need to go with same 21t. I'm new to this help

[@edsadventures3575]

I bet that dog would love a 13t crawl master pro! Maybe a fancy esc too….. Along with some bacon! Love it!

[@boldrbangr9834]

Really appreciate the humor! Too many other You Tubers forget that.

[@carlobell2558]

Dude, thank you so much. I hope you never tired for reading that. I’m learning more and more, becoming broke, and more broke, trying to keep up, and keep my vehicles maintained. How ever it’s very frustrating when. You pay good money, and receive horrible quality control items that cost so much, and you help make my budget life, like many others, stay in the hobby world, and keep me sane. So Peace, and thanks.

[@bobdegood71]

Your conversation with the neighbor dog cracks me up.

[@michaelavery4427]

You're my hero John!! Discs, tiny trucks and wake n' bake are the only reasons I get up every morning, but ur videos and wake n' bake r the reasons I get up in the evening!! John Wayne Holmes we love ya!! Silly funny face goes here✓

[@Chibs_Creationz]

Love the videos John I do wish they were longer I could watch for hours I like soaking up your knowledge and apply it to my rigs always learning something new and you make it entertaining

[@nicksimon4016]

I have a TRX4 sport with Traxx and appreciate this video. My vehicle definitely needs both wheel speed, as it goes through another reduction from being tracked, and torque to climb obstacles.

[@papachill]

hahaha, John got sense of humor and made my monday better for sure

[@Hondadude87]

Wheel speed is a must. When in doubt throttle out 👍🏁

[@drjavogel]

Excellent video and info. Nice southern drawl too.

[@Gorealawarfare]

The editing in the beginning of this video is priceless fucking hilarious I love it

[@tomandrews5392]

Good low end control and of course wheel speed ....good to see you John...

[@ExocagedRC]

YES!!! Down here in the sandy dirty south wheel speed is needed for other things LoL.

[@leestewart5424]

HH definitely my favorite motors puller pro 2700kv 540 and the trailmaster 27t 540 Awesome quality and durability

[@dirtrider88]

not only do your products seem outstanding, based on other videos, but your videos are great.

[@timlaforce5925]

You’re cheering section rocks that is the funniest one you made so far that I’ve seen thank you

[@nottymyname7192]

Thanks John for all of your videos. I am learning so much being new to the hobby. I can actually easily tolerate listening to you video after video...haha.

I was about to subscribe than realised I already was lol

[@arnoidjuani3852]

Very nice info dude.. your video clearly explained why we need more wheels speed for our rigs..

[@Redneckrc]

Doing some research, Thinking about getting a 13.5t brushless system for my crawler, this video really helped, plus I found a new channel to watch 😁🤘🏻

[@beeezlebub]

Seeing examples of you driving was awesome. Def appreciate that. Magnum looks awesome

[@12R1rcbashr]

Awesome video man great info been thinking of getting a SCX10 II kit & this would be a great motor for it thanks for sharing happy bashing bro.

[@tomscandrol3145]

Recomendation for brushless

[@scale_nerd356]

That neighbor dog just loves you I can tell 😂😂😂

[@Team-Fraser]

Was anyone else thinking "Here's Johnny!" at the end of the video? lol Think you may have convinced me to give 3S a go again, I tried it once before but always preferred the convenience of 2S as that's what I run in my race cars meaning I can share lipo's.

[@HolmesHobbies]

go 3s, you won't regret it!

[@NikkiNexo777]

Dude, your neighbor dog loves you!

[@screeny30]

in my TRX-4 I'm running a 35T motor on 3S I think it's perfect, although it's a scale crawler but with the 2-speed-gear it's just what I want

[@zero2evans]

Def a good set up, a better steering servo helps a bit. I think with a smaller or more front mounted battery you can do bigger obstacles. Myself with the Blazer i can say the bumpers are sorta limiting factors for some stuff. Otherwise its a great Scale Crawler.

[@mfoye1980]

Swapping the camera angles and into a tight close up was cracking me up!

[@neiljones8284]

Right now my 10.2 has a 16 turn crawlmaster 540. Was thinking about going to a 20 turn, but maybe I'll try the other way. As always, cool vid.

[@scottwalsh6999]

Great video. Informative and funny! I prefer a brushless setup myself on 3S. Not to many rocks where I am but lots of dirt hills where i need to clear the tyres :)

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

My favorite neighbor dog...LOL SLAPPING the like button NOW...

[@billtrimble4882]

Brushless brushless brushless. You offer low speed control and crazy wheel speed with you pullers. Plus who doesn’t like ripping across open ground to the next trail?

[@SnowCamo45]

Dude your vid editing and commentary make me want to buy crawlmaster!!!

[@nunyadambidness1444]

I definitely agree 💯

[@westonpaschal5078]

RC crawling with Bob Ross lol. I’m slowly becoming a customer. Usually I’d just go with Hobbywing but they don’t have what I’m after. I’m building a mega truck with a brushless system. I’ve got a 4370 in an SCX10 and that’s peppy, but I want more.

[@ka4172]

Nice job.

[@OutCastCrawling]

These videos are helpful. Would like to see one for specing out stuff for a heaveylike 20+lb rig.

[@HolmesHobbies]

great idea, ill try to work it in

[@protekyerneck]

I know a lesser human that runs a brushless 4s setup on a TRX4, god dam crawling got so popular that the bashers tell us how to set up our trucks Let’s talk gates and control and scale, I’ve been competitive rc crawling since we had to build our crawlers because there were none on the market. I can bump anything with a brushed 35t for comp crawling I’m running 2 75turn RC4WD motors on a bullyii. I win comps a lot brushed 2s This seems to be a ploy to pull the civilized crawler and scale model builder down the the level of a basher. Let’s put way more power and break everything so I constantly have to funnel money into the industry. Have at it bashing a stock wraith most of us have $200 hardbody’s, scale accessories and gates to worry about KZbin old comp crawler videos. We’ve been going backwards courses are easier as the popularity increases

[@HolmesHobbies]

I agree fully, ive been crawling since 2002 and started going to USRCCA nats and hosting missouri events in 2005. I still have my TLT axled bender customs rig. For comp use the sweet spot is between 1500 and 1800kv on 3s IMO, or 35t to 27t speeds. I'm only running a 16t Crawlmaster in this rig, about like a 30t. It's just barely enough speed to bump, but not enough to get me in trouble. I'm a big part of the fast trail rig push though, the 3500 Puller pro got a lot of engineering time to be smooth starting yet have obnoxious wheelspeed. I developed it specifically for the wraith rock racer platform.

[@RCCarsLover]

look really nice

[@febrihudono]

Hi broo... Nice video. May i ask and please ur the best suggest setup for my axial wraith combo motor 27T stock with HB1080 esc. For the best smooth anf bashing crawler... Please...

[@kenskens69]

Ok , I am new in this RC crawler ,but how the motor work Higher turned is slower lower turn is faster correct

[@aricschneider7019]

So I have a Losi Nightcrawler SE. It comes stock with a 35T brushed motor. I like the function on the remote of the three speeds, and I only run a 2s battery, which I will change today, to a 3s. If I were to switch motors as well, which one would you recommend? Thanks in advance for your advice and great products.

[@PhoenixRCCrawler]

I like the best of both squirrels. Not sure what it means but yeah sure. 👍🏽🐒......🐿?

[@erik3dartist]

Hi John, I have a Quickrun 1080 for my crawler (emo at4) running a 3s lipo with the stock 35t motor. It's fun overall, but sometimes I want more speed for trail running just to get out of the slow crawling mind set, can you recommend a motor for this ESC that can provide more running speed? Thanks

[@Jshark30jk]

How could a get a test motor for my wraith?

[@Harvey600]

Popped and slapped

[@tomkrushlin]

So what is the best motor for wheel speed plus slow crawl? Really like to watch your show nice info

[@HolmesHobbies]

Personal favorite, 3500 puller pro and mamba x

[@scottdashnaw2345]

I hv a trx4 sport with jconcepts goldenyears on it..i need more speed ..whats your recommendation

[@Abracourcix71]

Hi! Spring is here, my Capra kit to! Sorry for my writhing, i’m french canadian... I’m new in crawling and there is so much to learn. I’ve decided to try your Crawlmaster sport 16t to match axial specs... Thinking after a bunch of readings to go with a 11t pinion to get a little bit more boost like you said! But now that i’ve seen this video, i’m thinking to go further... Whats the boost difference beetween the sport 16t and the pro 16t? Any other advice for a newbie like me? By the way, i’m a big fan of your videos. Top notch informations. You rock! Thank’s!

[@camyota]

You'd laugh at my rig then. Low gearing, 1300kv outrunner on 2s! 😂

What's the difference between a 30 turn 400 puller and 16 turn 400 puller not sure which one to get

[@thor_4017]

I must find myself a new motor for gmade buffalo. My rc was crazy fun with 27t 540 goolrc and 3s battery. But motor was smelly and hot. I'm thinking about going 5-pole 550 13t or 14t. I'm not sure what motor I need to get similar top speed without the excessive heat build up. Gmade gs02f has 2speed transmission.

[@labahlabahoren]

What if we put larger wheels,any effect? How we balance /tune back the right speed?

[@helmydewa]

Hi holmes, i would like to ask... Let's say i have 2 setup : 1000kv with 40:1 gear ratio 2000kv with 80:1 gear ratio Both are the same size motors, just different kv Esc hobbywing axe, 5200 mAh 35C 3S batter, and use in same kit, given the gear ratio the speed is about the same right? What i wanna ask Which one has more torque? Which one is more efficient? Which one has more runtime?

[@HolmesHobbies]

Faster motor with more geardown will have more torque, generally run more efficient, but might have lower runtime if you use the extra torque. The faster motor itself will also pull more amps and be capable of more torque, and when combined with the geardown you could get 4x the torque at the wheel if needed. Also, more geardown gives better drag brake and rpm control while hitting an object or load.

[@helmydewa]

@@HolmesHobbies wow thank you so much for the answer, really appreciate it

Hello there,i'm leo from malaysia,big fan of your holmes hobby parts,i'm on my way to buy a kit from axial scx10,just what i only can afford..the matter is,if i like more speed and also slow with rock climbing,what motor that i had to buy,i'm now using 320a china esc,what kind of motor suit my crawler?

[@HolmesHobbies]

Crawlmaster sport 550 10 turn is a nice choice

[@edsadventures3575]

Does the 27t 550 crawl master have more wheel speed than a regular 35t that comes with axial?

[@JMHZ2401]

I agree with having a little wheel speed. I recently put a trailmaster 27t in my Gen 8. It was too slow on 2s. Put the 21t trailmaster in and much better. Just tried 3s on it and I feel it is prefect.

[@HolmesHobbies]

perfect on 3s!

[@beenrudy]

I just picked up the scx10 ii raw builders kit and also picked up a Tekin BXR esc. I like the low, low crawl speed and high end wheel speed of your wraith and want the same. Are you running the BXR also? Which motor is this and how much is it? Trying to stay on a budget. Thanks in advance!

[@wallacestrawberry256]

How do 540 motors work on 10+lb rigs ??

[@robinsonreptiles]

I've got the gladiator with the stock 35T motor still in. But I have your 10T & 21T motors on standby. Help me decide which to install. Also, I still have the stock ESC(which is nice) in, with the hobbywing 1080 on standby as well. What would y'all do? Thanks

[@duncanellico1398]

I have a Axial Bomber with stock axial esc with a axial 20t love the wheel speed on 3s 2s is to slow but i keep burning up motors and escs on 3s.mostly used on trail and bashing The bomber weighs in at 8.5 pounds What esc and motor combo do you recommend thank you

[@fu11m3tal]

I have a stock trx4 chassis kit that I want to regear to crawl slower on the 1st gear. I am unsure on if I should be looking to increase or decrease the pinor gear to slow down the wheel speed. I am also unclear on if decreasing wheel speed will put more stress on the components. Any help would be appreciated.

bought a Element 4runner for xmas. Its slower then frozen syrup. its a 13T motor. which motor would be my best bet for a bit more speed with a 2s battery?

[@HolmesHobbies]

2s really limits you. Can't go much faster with brushed or else brushes start burning. Can you get 3s? Cheaper than a new motor?

[@johnbasterson7938]

The 1080 is just fine. The holmes brushed esc is amazing its true but I wouldn't worry too much. The 1080 is crazy good at an amazing price. I wish it could 4s, because at 80 amps with high turn crawler motors it should be able too, but it's still my go to esc for brushed.
