RC4WD Chevy K10 upgraded with Hobbywing Fusion Pro brushless motor - top speed and test crawl

[@RCReviewChannel]

Now upgraded in black and red - alnk.to/esVLFX7

[@204_mod_shop]

Needs some pro line bf Goodrich krawler ta 1.5"s next 🤘🏽

[@TylerSL92]

I purchased the fusion pro 2300kv for my new trx4 sport after the first time I took it out. What a difference. You were one of the guys I watched with other reviews showing it off that convinced me to buy it. Thank you for that!!! I consider that motor upgrade essential for any of my future crawler purchases

[@RCReviewChannel]

I'm glad you like it. It has soooo many applications, from comp crawlers to heavy, scale trucks. Such a versatile and powerful motor/esc that doesn't take up much room and dollars.

[@mattmaitland5750]

I cant wait to order the midnight edition blazer! Waiting for them to have it back in stock!

[@tonygregg6957]

looks good, have a look at the A&M garage skid for a bit more clearance. I've been warned to check the mesh on the axles and shim them with anything more powerful than the stock motor. It might be worth giving them a good look over,.

[@warlocksixRC]

A&M garage is who makes the best skid for rc4wds.

[@jjm2948]

Believe it’s metal….isn’t plastic better for sliding over rocks? Like the bowhouse one

[@RCReviewChannel]

Thank you for that. @jjm2948. Stainless steel is actually best for sliding on rocks. Next is plastic, then steel. The worst is aluminum.

[@davidbanaszak562]

I have one on my TF2 with VP axles.. one of my favorite cars to drive on the rocks.

[@SnarkyRC]

It's okay. I prefer the Boom Racing skid.

[@joshmullee9999]

Vp? Vanquish products? ​@@davidbanaszak562

[@rcjono]

Wow that is a big difference!

[@alterbayer7196]

I drive a Fusion 1800 kv in my realy haevy 6x6 custom Jeep-Truck .... nearly 9 kg ..... And it works so unbelievable well ........ a 5m high rock-wall ... 50 degrees ... with 0,5 km-h all the way up ...... so incredible well to control, so soft ..... and in 2.nd gear the jeep goes away like ""schmidts cat"" ...... I will neverever drive another esc . never !! Greetings from Germany to all my RC-Friends

[@rccrawler70]

What's up...I just bought it and I love it but the suspension is too hard. RC4WD is aware of this problem in their chassis but has not corrected it and the solution they sell is too expensive. RC4WD Teraflex Revolver Shackle Your Price: $35.99 per set and 4 sets are needed. to Optimize the suspension. Excellent video.! Beautiful cars!

[@FXDXTy]

It's not a problem its realism. Big difference. You need a 4 link truck not rc4wd.

[@dc9808]

love the look of this truck and you always do great videos with tasteful and appropriate mods. However that truck is $570? For $400 I would buy the fms 1/10th scale K5 all day long, true electronic lockers, dig function and every bit as good looking scale body. You took away the one advantage that truck had as a scale feature... the small block chevy v8!

[@wncrcandoffroad3919]

If you want to lower it use the leaf under kit instead of just cramming short shocks on compressed leaf springs....

[@ryand4786]

The 2300 kv fusion pro is amazing , I just put one in my FMS FJ40 and it drives like a different truck.

[@RCReviewChannel]

It really is the silver bullet of RC

[@jjm2948]

Nice, like to see how the SE stacks up on this platform

[@RCReviewChannel]

It will be fine since in a lot of trail crawlers, we CANNOT tell the difference between the Fusion SE and the Fusion Pro. Just a little less top speed.

Great video, made my wallet feel capable. I am think I want this setup as a roller kit for a scale U.S production 4x4. Thank you for another great video

[@RCReviewChannel]

You are most welcome!!!

[@gxtxRCcrawling]

nice video and awsome rig :D love it

[@michaelchoate2810]

That truck needs some scale super swampers that's commonly run on the full size k10s

[@RCReviewChannel]

Great tip there.

[@DoubleADay]

Look around this weekend for sales, especially HW

[@RCReviewChannel]

Eyes wide open!!

[@DoubleADay]

I tried sharing with others but you pulled my comment

[@RCReviewChannel]

I didn't delete anything. Maybe youtube held it for interrogation.

[@ConditionZero76]

Can you run bigger tires, or will they rub? What's the largest that'll fit ? Thanks

[@ramonandramon]

Which one should I buy, Fusion Pro 2300kv or 1800kv? Differences??

[@Cranklotus]

Can you use the RC4wd Transmitter and reciever? Would all I need is the HW motor.

[@freakinrican9017]

Instead of shorter shocks, mount the leafs under the axles instead of on top

[@RCReviewChannel]

Will try that too.

[@RCCinematic]

Hey man, can you do a video on the VT-1 controller and how everything works? My first Vs4-10 and there’s nothing on KZbin explaining all the functions

[@Vladle2099]

not bad for a scale truck. mine still sitting on the shelf nice and pretty.

[@JohnnySmith-z8p]

What kv is the motor..... brushless one

[@RCReviewChannel]

That is a 2300kv and this vehicle is running a 3-cell battery.

[@brianwood9849]

Nice video I want one and going to buy it

[@RCReviewChannel]

You should! It's a good one from RC4WD.

[@briansalas66]

RCWD needs better shocks.. it’s too stiff even when removing a couple of leaf springs

[@RCReviewChannel]

True. In this vehicle, we removed the spring inside the shock and replaced it with oil. Much better.

[@axellness]

Is this the $150 motor? I think im gonna get it for my vanquish phoenix

[@buysncharge]

Yeah Fusion Pro. 2300kv

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yes, this is the $150 version. The $80 version is a better value but it doesn't have as much top end.

[@axellness]

@@RCReviewChannel thanks for confirming 👍

[@herzbruch5860]

Do you know how I can fix stuttering when crawling really slowly? I got a Video of the problem on my channel. Hope your can help

[@88yjvs91xj]

Shorter shocks on a leaf spring truck will not lower it. That truck has lift blocks in between the axle and the leaf springs you're going to have to take out the lift blocks out. For any trail finder chassis mods the goto is a&m garage

[@RCReviewChannel]

Currently, when you push down on the vehicle, the shocks are slammed. They are definitely the limiting factor under compression. Will check after that to see if there's anything else limiting it. There's another channel on youtube of a guy doing a lot of work on this K5. I'll post a link when i find it.

[@AnyAssumptionBanter]

we need to get out there to linda vista with brooms and blowers and clean the course and pile the debris to another section for a course as well.

[@RCReviewChannel]

For sure!!!!

[@offroad1911]

Do you think this truck would be to much for the Mamba Micro 2 and a 1900kv slate motor?

[@RCReviewChannel]

Oh man, it will be sooo good with that motor!

[@JD-tl7ld]

Can I use a Hobbywing fusion pro in an SCX10 Gladiator without having to use a new transmitter and receiver? I am pretty sure the answer is no.

[@DoubleADay]

It just replaces your motor and esc, not the receiver. It should not be a problem for you

[@JD-tl7ld]

@@DoubleADay The scx10 III gladiator has the esc and receiver in one. I know with some of the small 24th scale Axials you can still use the 2 in 1s with a brushless motor, but I don't think you can with the 10th scale.

[@DoubleADay]

Never heard of that on 10th scale

[@RCReviewChannel]

You'll have to get a new receiver. Best to get one that works with your current transmitter.

[@JD-tl7ld]

@@RCReviewChannel I was afraid of that, but that I can do though. Danke

[@brokennib1]

I like RC4WD, and I like this truck very much, but that brushless system will blow up those axles, guaranteed. Weakest axles in this whole hobby.

[@RCReviewChannel]

These are the K44 axles and they seem strong and smooth. Good steering angle too. They have the XVD reinforced steel driveshaft so it's good. The Yota axles I had on my Toyota pickup were definitely not as strong as these.

[@brokennib1]

The Yota 2 axles definitely have some weak links, like the hubs, which stripped out pretty quick. (had to helicoil the threads to repair) But you dont know until ya break'em, lol That's part of the fun! Keep us posted!@@RCReviewChannel

[@SnarkyRC]

Yep. RC4WD uses the cheapest Chinesium. I can break their axles with my bare hands lol.

[@TheCleaner6969]

Anyone thinking of buying from RC4WD DON'T! They discontinue things faster then politicians steal our money. I've been in this hobby since the early 90's. Just visit some forums & ask around how many can't buy gears & so much other stuff!

[@jjm2948]

The TF2 has been around for ages….not concerned;)

[@TheCleaner6969]

@@jjm2948 One vehicle how many other things did they make that aren't?

[@TheRCcoupleNH]

​@@TheCleaner6969I do agree to some extent it is sad that the industry puts out a product that it doesn't stand behind 100% because it doesn't continue to produce vital replacement parts that will keep the rig running much longer that being said I did notice when they have a popular platform that has an immense following they tend to keep those parts of available. At the end of the day it's a supply and demand thing.
