Thinking that I will wait until Mr. Holmes has a finished product.

[@rcrelatedstuff6092]

Was thinking the same. I always avoid first gen of everything

[@NCmountainsYouTubeChannel]

Fantastic demonstration of the futures. 💯👍

[@apeion]

Great ESC, pretty impressed with it so far. Holmes did just announce that the micro BEC is unstable and will be offering a credit for previous purchases towards a castle BEC.

[@knoopx]

looks like a wraith32/hglrc trex with am32 firmware on it, it actually makes the same startup tones. you can build one yourself for $15 with the exact same performance (and no cogging) and even smaller footprint if you use the iflight slick escs. and yes it already supports brushed motors too.

[@zechariah3234]

It's just different firmware, John holmes claims that he has made these slim escs before the drone market started. I'm a bit skeptical because esc's have been around for a long time.

[@jeremymiller2340]

WoW, the technology never ceases to amaze me, that is absolutely terrific, Holmes hobby has amazing stuff, I hope to get one of them in my TRX4 sport, just dont know a thing about them motors, but more and more I am seeing them, watching this definitely makes me want this set up, another gem of a video my friend!!

[@sikolikhole]

This was a collaboration between a DIY'er on rccrawler forum and HH. Can't find the thread but the DIY guy made everything available to us.

[@camrowdrone6497]

Looks good ,best to wait for when it is perfect 👍🏻

[@anthonytuccillo6274]

Thats so impressive, I need one!

[@sg1trogdor]

yeah ive been trying to get one of these since last year still no luck. rigs just been sitting waiting for an esc for i can finish it.

[@mattnauck2935]

There's going to be a furitek option soon for 1/10 also. I've got the one for the scx24 and it's really amazing.

[@crfsikness]

Anything high end brushless for these crawlers FOC vesc tech is what you want. Hands down the best low speed control and also dead silent

[@ggwbrc]

Awesome video man👍 Very informative👍

[@bbeckers24]

Great product... Great review.

[@mikesned4201]

Just picked up a cen racing f-450 to pull my trailer with crawlers on it and i love it any chance you can do a review on a future episode on it

[@mattnauck2935]

Can those outrunners handle any water? Comps up here in the pnw are usually by rivers and what-not plus the raining.

[@Bikes_N_Adventure]

The copper will eventually corrode, also huge disadvantage, the magnets inside can, and will pick up little bits of metal found in soil, unless there is some sort of barrier, ideally there could be an outer surround, with some kind of cooling in place.

[@billyjoe6314]

Would it be possible to have the schematics of the electrics for us beginners? This includes uncommon stuff such as direct power servo and an ESC than needs a BEC. Keep it up thx!

[@bjj21]

Awesome. How do they handle water?

[@robm.6825]

Great video. What tires are you running here?

[@BlindGuyRc]

That is awesome. Even if there is a down side. Very cool.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Great to see innovation and development

[@ed0c]

i want a crawl master esc so badly! especially now that programmable. i had to get a copperhead for my revolver :(

[@zjbmx6025]

What size revolver is this? I’m looking into getting a revolver and a crawl master mini for my trx4 with two speed trans and axial ar44 axles. I want something quiet. But I lover the idea of the revolvers torque. Your setup sounds quieter than some others running the crawlmaster mini. Thinking about getting the large 540 1800kv revolver. What are your thoughts?

[@fabianrudzewski9027]

Looks like they run the motor more in position control, than rpm control. Just Like a brushless gimbal does, with 3 sinus shaped currents at all times, and you just go along the sinus function to get the motor rotating smoothly at any speed.

[@brutallyaverage8293]

Did I miss what kV revolver be used?

[@Felix-hv6gj]

So which Esc should I get for a quiet Holmes V3 motor??

[@Cooldibs]

why did you skip 13 with the PWM?

[@RuffKutz]

Can you run that motor with a hobbywing 1080?

[@89lxman]

when can WE buy this ????

[@yiarkungfu]

Wonder how this is different in performance from the Hobbywing Fusion 2 in 1.

[@jesseormond3202]

Yes behaves the same as the axe foc system

[@garymurphy5133]

I dont have any Holmes products because of the issue mentioned,never available!!!!! or in stock!!!!!!!

[@CuciWaterjet]

Is this the one that has FOC like the axe hobbywing?

[@jesscneal]

Yes but it's not FOC

[@zaxpage9003]

Knowing the quality that is built into it, I wonder how much abuse it will take. For instance sometimes getting stuck on a dirt hill, and doing some punches on it can cause extra heat in a hurry..If geared properly of course

[@GeorgiaKayakAngler]

What tires are those?

[@Sparvix]

Ciao, complimenti per i video che posti :) mi sono incuriosito molto sulla SILENZIOSITA' di questo Outrunner.....ho da poco comprato il Trx4 Sport con elettronica Castel Esc SideWinder4 e motore Outrunner da 2250kv..... Come riesco ad "eliminare" quel fastidiosissimo rumore??? Grazie in anticipo :)

[@frozenshade666]

Great review, what is the final gear ratio on your test rig? did you run 3S or 4S? you talked about both but it wasn't clear what you used for test.

[@RCReviewChannel]

I am not sure yet. 17t pinion with 39t spur running on 3s on a trx4 Sport.

[@frozenshade666]

@@RCReviewChannel thanks for the reply! manual say 36.25:1 for 17/39.

[@RCReviewChannel]

@@frozenshade666 Is that high, low or midrange in comparison to other comp crawlers?

[@evoxer87]

@@RCReviewChannel imo stock trx4 sport gearing is overgerared for true crawling purposes, also, as you said, this combo is for lighter rigs and maybe the cogging you mentioned disapears in other rig setups

[@mtzlsf]

@@RCReviewChannel Thanks for this amazing video! I’m super curious which servo horn are you using in this truck? seems like it’s not Traxxas metal one? Thank you!

[@markbarker8376]

Hello sorry but links doesn't work where I can buy its???

[@brianmassey7563]

It looks a lot like the mini ESC I got from Banggood for my son's MN90. What would the amperage rating be on this?

[@TRKISH324]

Solid 40 I believe I saw on another video

[@K3NnY_G]

2:04 - Considering the only thing keeping me from this platform was the noise and losing all the control of my 1080... I'm interested.

[@rc-daily]

A sw4 and a revolver has just as good control as a 1080. Actually probably better because they're tunable. You can set the throttle and reverse curves.

[@rc-daily]

But they are loud with a castle esc

[@mtzlsf]

@@rc-daily you mean SW4 and Revolver combo is loud?

[@rc-daily]

@@mtzlsf yeah they're loud. Like a high pitch whine

[@rc-daily]

@@mtzlsf and it's not just the sw4. It's any castle product. Idk anyone running a revolver on a hobbywing. The new esc from Holmes hobbies is dang near silent though

[@Megakussh]

I like my tech to make noise, makes it feel like a machine to me.

[@Tuidkskiwjdhdbd]

Is this sensored or sensorless

[@Bikes_N_Adventure]

Curious, in the RC airplane world, an In Runner is what you want.. what's the advantage of an outrunner here? Less size/weight?

[@knoopx]

torque. moving mass. very much like what you want on an airplane.

[@MrLunithy]

@@knoopx I think it's more about how far away the magnets are from the center shaft.

[@Dave-nf7rc]

Really? I use out runners on some of mine.

[@knoopx]

@@MrLunithy that's defined by the rotor diameter, you can get pretty much the same sizes regardless if outrunner or inrunner

[@knoopx]

@@Dave-nf7rc pretty much everything that flies do. Wings, helis and quads are all outrunners, specially when moving large props.

[@t.a.weller2063]

holy crap!

[@robertocolon8728]

I could use this for my SCX24. I have a Holmes Hobbies 380 revolver. Interesting

[@vinnyisntgud7221]

look up furitek. They make a esc motor combo that is identical to this setup. You can also pair it with a surpass drone motor.

[@RCReviewChannel]

We'll put on a 1/16 size vehicle

[@HolmesHobbies]

The furitek isn't the same at all. Great low cost choice but nothing in common with this one.

[@jdsrcs8061]

Wow that is pretty impressive!!!! How will this compare to the Fusion 2in1?

[@RCReviewChannel]

the Fusion 2 in 1 is great but is has little power and punch.

[@monkfry]

It’s not drag brake. Bummer. . but Daaaaamn that’s Awesome!!

[@kyoz1984]

Will this handle the revolver classic coming out in a 6x6 Gspeed? I was going to use a mamba x with a puller pro v2 540.. but unsure.

[@mickd8188]

I'd stick with the mamba x and puller pro in the heavier trx6. It's more suited to lightweight rigs. Cheers👍

[@echobeefpv8530]

Price looks pretty up there as well....

[@KobtsevRC]

Is this a waterproof ESC?

[@marios-orginal469]

Good question, i think no

[@apeion]

It is not waterproof as is. Pickup some conformal coating and coat it, then you'll be set.

[@marios-orginal469]

Or maybe you can put it in a reciverbox

[@rcjoe406]

Make it silent at any speed then I would be impressed

[@aaronabarquez8180]

Francis I’ll be in East side SJ on the 25th. I’d like to crawl at your spot, any way you can DM or comment back with the location pls?

[@slowburn_1725]

Modulation ? Did I spell it right....?

[@allmightygreatone1048]

Now I know why my trx4 brushed system is so nice. Quiet, strong, cheap to replace. That motor noise is not nice.

[@rezzrollinrc]

U jump on that train too 😂🤣

[@johnathanbevill222]

Like to invite you out to our crawl spot in South jersey. Amazing play ground with lots of obstacles and various terrains both man made and natural. Amazing place. If intrested please pm me rc review

[@astridsactionrc545]

I can’t solder battery connectors to save my life. Plus I gave up on brushless after too many problems. So these are not for me.

[@somebodyelse5]

just practice practice, you'll get the hang of it. Helps to have a good iron too.

[@HerederoDj]

Here in Spain we have been using a drone ESC for a crawler for a while, I leave you a video of what parameters to put with blheli 32 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHnNp6uYjrOpmbs

[@mtzlsf]

@oscar V H the video is spanish, could not understand it 😊

[@DirtyRC101]

Looks interesting, but as the Quicrun already is a clean install with excellent performance and this looks like an unfinished product, I'll wait and see.

[@Blackbeardyo]

Pass on the Holmes stuff for me he won’t even return an email and nothing in stock
