The Best One Yet: NEW Injora Fat Viper Brushless Motor

In this video I run and review the new 2200KV brushless outrunner motor from Injora for the Traxxas TRX4M: The Fat Viper! This motor requires the use of the 370 transmission kit, which functions as the motor mount. The motor is available now at the links below!

[@BrunoGomes666]

Do you know if the ESC programming adapter is included? I'm at the aliexpress injora official store and there's no sign of it.

[@jrubjrub82]

It’s lame, but l love watching the out runners spin while driving. Doesn’t matter the rig..just do😂…I wonder when injora will put the esc out by itself. As of this moment, the fat viper wasn’t in a kit, you can just buy the motor, transmission combo. Great video!

[@vdel9036]

Hope they'll release the same combo for FMS or Hobby Plus mini crawlers.😉

[@2strokeboys191]

Same

[@Rc_Alex_76]

You hopefully but as far as I can see they ain't bothered with those brands

[@TheMongoliers]

Great news on the new PURPLE motors! Thank you , Adam, for all you do to add to the hobby. :-) Loved the Father/Son camping video and for sending the call for men to be fathers! For those of us who have never made the switch to brushless, could you do a video showing what we would need for the whole package by way of radio, motor, ESC, BEC, ETC. (ha-ha) to make a conversion? What brands/combinations have been good for you? And does Injora offer all the components necessary for a first time brushless user? I really love their stuff and they are going to rock the market with their new purple motors.

[@joshc3576]

that looks awesome. i hope they do one for scx24, ive just started a deadbolt build ive used so much information from your snaggletooth build. so thanks man great video👍🏻

[@oakwaterjimmy]

love your channel, keep it up. love all the builds and the detail you go in to, and that you get your kid involved. I always had more fun building, than using them most of the time. now after an accident i cant work and cant afford to do the rc thing. its also kinda hard to get out and get around, messed my leg up good. but i love seeing all of the new stuff you show and how creative you are . thanks for your hard work and the entertainment.

[@ManicRC]

Love the build! I bought the complete kit (motor, esc, 370 transmission). Hope the pinion fits without clicking on the combo. Did you notice any structural integrity issues cutting the crossbeam on the tarantula? Love your videos and I have learned a lot from them. Thanks!

[@shawnrichardson118]

Definitely looks great and smooth thanks for posting this 🤘✌️

[@jgasparrr69]

Great video brotha! My plan is take this motor mount it to a Komodo mount being the same 2204 style. Bigkidtinytruck esc. It'll be a beast I think. Personally I just think injora made that esc way to big

[@cardboardcrawlersrc8805]

I have to agree they went too big on the esc/switch

[@MrsRabbit8]

Hey, can you please order some Hard Park axles and do a review? So few reviews on YT, i think only one or two. They seem to be among the best, and it's from a small company that has really moved the gauge of innovation for micros. I ordered a set, and will be putting on the new Torq servo, some Nexx adjustable oil shocks, Hard Park links (gladiator length, hopefully they fit), new Mazz XL chassis, and a Furitek system (not sure which), and a WTMicro body. Should be amazing, but i wish there were more videos on the Hard Park axles. Thank you!

[@DasE30Cuz]

They're nice and I'm glad a managed to snag a set when they launched, but it's unfortunate that the pins like to work loose in the ujoint. My other complaint is that they bite rocks since they're aluminum and wide. But you're going to get that with any axle that isn't plastic or nylon. Hopefully 3flow9 comes out with some skids for them. Also, I'm running the Injora XHX pins on 1.8s and I've been less than impressed. I think they might not have enough grip to counteract the pumpkin hanging up. Hopefully cutting alternating rows improves them...when I get around to it. Otherwise, the clockable hubs is something I've been waiting a long time for this scale. Combined with the steering angle, I can really lay that tire over and find traction where I wouldn't have been able to before.

[@MrsRabbit8]

@@DasE30Cuz yeah, those U-joint pins is a little worrisome. Hopefully they listened and fixed them. I hear that locktite works. I don't do aluminum for performance for the same reason you mentioned, and mostly wanted these because they seem to perform well otherwise, have the clockable hubs, and look so damn cool. Probably see about offset wheels to bring them in a bit. I haven't looked too drop into pin tires, never had them, but i want some for comps.

[@Amirnake]

I want the purple viper. I have a fast trx4m build that is PERFECT for that fast motor

[@Bonitacreekrc2]

put the purple viper in the new trx4m two speed f100

[@daveevans7474]

Was really hoping this would be compatible with the meus 2 speed transmission, but it looks like the two speed is almost redundant with these new motors

[@gibsonlife573]

Another thing I'd like to know about this motor is it a 12 mm bolt pattern it does look like it it don't look like No 9 mm

[@WickedRemoteControl]

You make me want to start upgrading my TRX4m! I’m just not a crawler guy so I have no idea where to start.

[@Rotskippy19]

Crawler Gear, Bearings instead bushings, Injora Shocks, Bress for lowing the cg

[@gibsonlife573]

Flight to see a compared to the original Komodo it looks just like it

[@gsrkila]

Cool build with cool motor, it's tempting me to put that in my ascent 18. BTW ,your gear mesh sounds a bit too tight.

[@786esteban]

Great video. I have always use 2s battery on my RC. Can I damage the rest of the electric components if I start using a 3s battery? Like the steering servo, lights, winch.

[@Creepy_Crawlerzz_PNW]

Could I run the fat viper with a furitek python pro esc ?

[@TheScienceDude28]

Will the original brushless motor that comes with the injora kit fit in the stock trx4m transmission

[@CapeCrawlers]

Yes the purple viper has a motor mount that allows it to fit the stock transmission

[@TheScienceDude28]

@@CapeCrawlers thanks might get one 😁

[@Crawlingrc3903]

I need that combo very nice

[@mikemcfadden858]

Got a question for you. What is cogging? I installed mine today and noticed the motor when it gets into a tight hard torque stituation the motor is spinning but the driveshafts aren't The shafts have screws mounted through them. Do I need to take the trans a part again and move the motor gear out towards the gears or the opposite direction? I'm new into this world of addiction. Love your videos, they have helped immensly.

[@MarshalMekk]

Very curious if that fat viper would somehow be able to get it to mount to the Furitek stellar transmission, I have a Furitek scythe build with the Komodo motor and stellar transmission combo but I have a purple theme going on. That fat viper would be a perfect replacement both aesthetic and performance wise

[@robertom5808]

Nice 👍🏻

[@Bonitacreekrc2]

which injora motor will fit better in an injora scx24 nylon capra cage

[@gibsonlife573]

It's all about that the magnet size and strength is worth work comes from and you can have a big KV motor and produce great low-end torque mofo bam 4100 is my favorite it will break stuff before it stops moving everybody used to be against it until they started seeing the videos and they're like holy hell so that's what I would like to know how does it feel when you rotate it how strong are the magnets I can't remember all the names but John Holmes Holmes hobby is a great person to listen to when it comes to motor Street and tour and all that their stuff

[@sidewalkhillbilly6636]

I am building a ECX Temper 2 Gen II and will have sx10 links, axles and carbon fiber wheels with light 140mm tires. The Temper has a 370 sized motor now. Would this Fat motor handle it or do I need something bigger in your opinion?

[@cardboardcrawlersrc8805]

Pretty loud clicking noise in reverse, Any ideas on that?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I think my pinion gear is still interfering with the transmission gears. It’s a really long pinion (pre-production). I backed it out some with spacers but have some more room to go I think

[@RobConant-qb7bi]

Is there another way to program the motor besides a computer. I don't have a operable computer. I do have a tablet.

[@kylerasmussen2744]

I'm building a trx4m to be a trailer puller witch motor would you recommend between the fat viper or purple viper

[@xCYNICOUTCASTx]

Will this work on the MEUS 2speed transmission?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I don’t think so, there isn’t a mounting system available that I am aware of

[@BillsWorkbench]

Would you be so kind as to let me know that the mounting hole spacing is.

[@stunod-RC]

Should be 17mm, same as 370 brushed motors.

[@Miscellaneous6111]

Y does it click when u are going backwards?

[@RyanLongRc]

So just to confirm the Fat Vipers DO NOT come with the ESC? just trying to confirm because it doesn't look like they do on there website.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Correct, motor or motor and transmission only

[@TheRCBuildersPost]

I remember seeing a video like 8 months ago about a new Injora 1/10 ESC. I've yet to see anything else about it. Did they give up on it or something? Lol

[@CapeCrawlers]

I haven't heard anything from them about it. Maybe they're using the smaller scale as a test case before jumping into larger scales

[@Rc_Alex_76]

Is it on par with furitek

[@CapeCrawlers]

It’s close. I still get cogging occasionally so I think their esc needs some refinement but the motor feels great

[@KenMrKLC]

What trans you got in that, Is it just the aluminum injora trans that comes with injora 180 motor attached?

[@CapeCrawlers]

It’s the gearbox that comes with the Injora 370 motor kit

[@SeizedBCG]

Really excited for these injora motors but I'll for sure be waiting until injora has an app available. dont trust downloading zip files

[@JRizEJ6]

just put in my purple viper last night and already considering this one since my purple viper hitches and cogs. but now im hesitant to get burned on another injora brushless motor. i ordered a 3s battery to see if itll fix my issues with the purple viper but im not holding my breath.

[@petejones6827]

check you dip switches on 2s they have things wrong that will be your issue

[@petejones6827]

order it anyways i went on amazon this motor is 18 BUCKS less than 20 bucks for the thing got cvharged .18 cents shipping i dont understand how its this cheap for brushless but i aint asking no questions ill test it for 18 bucks

[@JRizEJ6]

@petejones6827 it would be $44 for me since I don't already have the 370 transmission. Still an amazing deal for a brushless motor with transmission. But it's cost doesn't matter if it doesn't work like it should, it's wasted money.

[@justinluczak5611]

I want to try the fat viper on the meus 2 speed trans! Think it will fit?

[@cst9819]

no

[@DrKVo13]

Hey is the 2000 more torque vs than the 2400?

[@CapeCrawlers]

The 2400 should have more. Its a small difference and probably not really noticeable while driving

[@DrKVo13]

@@CapeCrawlers I though lower kv means more torque ? No?

[@gibsonlife573]

My personal opinion I didn't see very good success at all out of those swamp claws matter of fact I think they're kind of going backwards I think they should go back to their original compound and S4 S3 I grabbed the old Senator tires that I had to crawler all terrain and they're kind of like the hyrax but they're like in the S3 compound I think they're almost as good as J Concepts tusks

[@sukihuang520]

Can I run this with a furitek esc?🤔

[@CapeCrawlers]

Yes you can

[@sukihuang520]

@@CapeCrawlers awesome👍

[@RCfanAddict]

What's the deal with the clicking? Can you reach out to Injora to see when they gonna sell fat viper combo or esc seperate?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I'm still getting some friction in the transmission. I need to back that motor off some more or get a shorter pinion gear.

[@brandonupchurch5015]

OK, make sure your motor screws aren't too long ​@CapeCrawlers

[@anshpatel915]

Can i pls have a fully upgrades scx24 gladiator
