ARRMA Gorgon Goes Brushless - Spektrum Firma 85A ESC w/ Spektrum 3150KV Motor - Speed Run/Track Bash

[@EireFirst2024]

I really want one of these,i was put off by the factory performance,but seeing what YOU did I'm getting one. Blessings from Ireland 💚🤍🧡

[@ReadytoRunRC]

@@EireFirst2024 it rips now and is awesome. Box stock is not a lot of fun. The Gorgon is great though and it really is ARRMA tough.

3674 size motor fits in there very comfortably. is a little hard to find them in a KV above 3,000. will probably want a set of 5mm 32p pinions and maybe even pick up a 50 and 55 tooth 0.8mod spur. ARA311103 and ARA311112. since there is not much wiggle room to adjust the motors for pinion gears you may find a need to switch both gear sizes. That said it's a tight fit but a Traxxas VXL will fit in there too, as long as the wires are facing the axles. VXL is a 3656 can size and is uncomfortably tight so if you're motor shopping I'd look for 36diam 60+length sized motors. Also definitely worth it getting a 40mm fan bolted to the provided mount. hope that info helps someone out there lol.

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Thanks for the helpful tips. This one I put on is a 3660. I should’ve gone with a 15T pinion. I do want to get a fan for the motor since they made that mount for it right on the chassis.

[@rigosuave18]

Definitely helps. Good info!!

[@karlsonmackay1453]

After watching you upgrade this thing so well sir I just want one now 👍🏼

[@ReadytoRunRC]

@@karlsonmackay1453 it’s a great truck and even better now brushless.

[@wvflying1626]

Wow, what a punch.

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Has some power now.

[@ramsessilent]

so much torque! thanks for the share! stay awesome!

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Thanks! I’m getting a 4S battery delivered soon to fit so I can’t wait to see what that does.

@@ReadytoRunRC i needs to get a dam charger i have orders 4 over the last year 6s and down and they keeping on the hook for 2 to 3 months and then refund my money tried ally and banggood 2 times each now im just going to wait until jan after my birthday and spend the extra to order one from amazon

[@Blast215RC]

The Granite wheelie bar fits the GORGON. Mine is still stock running a 7.6 volt 2s lipo.. with the wheelie bar it's way better.. - confirmed 👌. Nice set up by the way. This trucks drives amazing

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Thanks. Yeah I want to order one. It just flips back way too easy now. Going to rip the back of the body off eventually if I don’t.

[@Blast215RC]

@@ReadytoRunRC Gorilla tape the inside of the body. That's what I'm doing. The body for these is 60$ still. Lol

@@ReadytoRunRC ARA320613 IS THE PART #. Bolts right on. It's like 15$. Well worth it. 👌

[@ReadytoRunRC]

@@Blast215RC I’ll be ordering one next Amazon order. Thanks for the info.

[@jameswisecarver]

I run the same exact setup except I run a 15t pinion, plenty fast for a 2wd, I run 2s most of the time more than enough for a bash!!

[@ReadytoRunRC]

@@jameswisecarver yeah 15t is probably the best way to go. I run 3S and there’s a lot of wheel spin. The 15t would definitely slow that wheel spin down a little.

Now she can do backflips! Durable, too!. Big like! 🙂👍

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Finally! Can’t wait to see what it does when I get my 4S battery delivered.

[@ToyotaGuy1971]

@@ReadytoRunRC So that can be driven in 2WD or 4WD? You can switch between the two?

[@ReadytoRunRC]

@@ToyotaGuy1971 it’s only in 2WD.

[@ToyotaGuy1971]

@@ReadytoRunRC Okay, thanks bro. I had looked it up, and the description in the listing I was looking at, had it listed as 2WD and 4WD, so that confused me.

Nice

[@THESERGEANTJRC]

Nice!! I went with a 3660/3700KV Hobbywing system with a 120amp ESC. Super fun!!!!

[@TossDatBacon69]

Hows it? I wanna use my wp10bl120g2 and 3652s 4500kv

[@THESERGEANTJRC]

I like it! That’s the esc I run the one you want. Fast good for stunting and stays cool because the truck is so light and I mounted a fan! Check my videos out on this truck you’ll like them!

[@xm3ntal620]

Does the motor fit without any modifications?

[@xm3ntal620]

Also what size pinion shaft do you need?

[@ricardocavaco5338]

Boas...esse esc da para 2s e 3s?no site fiquei na dúvida? Obrigado. Grande rc que voce é! Recomendo!!

[@purplmoke75]

Confused on why some of the leads are backwards blue orange? Orange blue? And then later in the video all leads blue blue orange orange…..

[@ReadytoRunRC]

I’m confused as to where you see the same colors connected to each other later in the video. The way they’re connected when I installed the motor is the way they are now. I never changed them since I installed the motor. The reason the colors don’t match is because the motor rotation was reversed. So when I throttled forward it went in reverse. So if you switch 2 of the connections it will change the motor rotation.

[@t3floz]

Good video! I have 2 traxxas 1/16 brushless systems. Would 1 work in the Gordon?

[@ReadytoRunRC]

@@t3floz thanks. I highly doubt it. The motors most likely aren’t going to match up to the motor mount. This is a 1/10 and is much bigger than any 1/16 scale motor could handle too.

[@t3floz]

@@ReadytoRunRC thanks that’s what i thought

[@robertshelton2605]

I think the lower kv was giving you all that punch or torque. Higher Kv gives more wheel speed less torque.

[@shawn3218]

i just got everything and this is my first rc. i forgot to get the 5mm pinion, is that necessary?

[@ReadytoRunRC]

It is if you put this same brushless motor on. The stock pinion will not fit this motor.

[@shawn3218]

@@ReadytoRunRC oh shoot i guess imma need to run to rc store again lol 🤣

[@ReadytoRunRC]

@@shawn3218 yeah it looks like you are. The motor shaft on this motor is 5mm diameter and the shaft size on the stock motor is I believe 3mm.

[@shawn3218]

@@ReadytoRunRC so basically I bought everything on the links except the 5mm pinion do i still need to buy anything else? I hope you respond! 😩

[@shawn3218]

Did u used the stock spur gear?

[@ReactionRC]

Was it a 3660 or wat size was that spektrum motor? 3660 fits as well. The hobbywing 10bl. Great video!

[@ReadytoRunRC]

It was a 3652.

[@ReactionRC]

@@ReadytoRunRC ok cool! Thank you

[@ReactionRC]

The one that fit? I meant the one that ended up fitting. Was it a 3660?

@@ReadytoRunRC Awesome thank you!

[@owen8538]

Pinion need be the other way round as for some reason it hits the plastic

[@ReadytoRunRC]

That is correct.

[@paulmaldonado7039]

Dude I heard that brushless motor is to much power for the gears 😮??

[@ReadytoRunRC]

It could be. Haven’t had an issue with it yet. Maybe if it was a higher kv motor it might create an issue.

[@TossDatBacon69]

Its not going to be much faster if you dont make that pinion gear any bigger

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Or have a higher kv.

[@TossDatBacon69]

@@ReadytoRunRC i have my gorgon with a 3660 same motor and kv and im running the stock spur with a 24t pinion...on 2s is did 43mph its that tiny pinion lol

A 3665 motor fits perfectly in the Gorgon

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Ok and so does this.

[@somefuckingprick]

@ReadytoRunRC Ummm, okay-- Well maybe your viewers would like to know a trouble-free size that fits other than a pricey Spektrum system🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@ReadytoRunRC]

@@somefuckingprick which is also why I mentioned the size that does not fit and a size that does so if they would rather not use a spektrum setup, they at least know what size motor will work and they can decide from there which brand motor they want to use. Thank you for letting them know that a 3665 motor will work as well.
