I'm So Excited. Ive Been Running A Injora MB100 Brushed ESC For Some Time Now On My Defender TRX4M With A Mofo Torque Beast X. I Tested A Latrax 370R Motor And That Was Insane. Then My Buddy With A Ford HiTrail Got A Cedar Motor On A Furitek. For Such A Small Motor That Thing Rips All Over My Modified Torque Beast X!!!! It's Not As Fast As My 370 Set Up But I'm Just Imaging Like A 2430 Brushless Set Up On Mine Now. Then I Saw The Adjustability In The App And I Just About Lost My Mind. And Then The Slow Crawl He Had Was Nuts And That's That He's Running Over Drive Trans And Under Drive Diffs. I'm Just Too Excited To Go Furitek As Well

I really want to see the Komodo and Mini Komodo run on 4S since they are rated for it. I know Nick at MoFo admitted once that his Nano Beast 2.0 (2700kv) motor is technically rated for 4S as well, but he has never actually tested it so I'm curious about that one too.

I’m new to the RC hobby, I picked up a Trx4m and now have changed almost everything on it. My question is in your opinion, would the furitek Python be good to run with the purple injora motor ? I really don’t like the stock esc and controller, thinking of switching over to maybe the Flysky either gt5 or the nb4

@2fmrc 11 ай бұрын

Yeah the Python or lizard pro would definitely work well with pretty much any motor. You will have to change the motor connector if your using the Injora purple motor that plugs directly into the Trx4m. I’d definitely go with the gt5 imo. The noble is great but not worth the price for the micros imo. The flysky is much cheaper and has better micro receivers. I rarely use my nb4 anymore. Since getting the Radiolink I use it and my gt5. Hope that helps!

@RadRaf Жыл бұрын

I was initially excited to hear the news of a new 1/24 ecu option and from such a big name but when I heard the details I felt underwhelmed. Then I started watching the youtube reviews and everyone ignoring the blatant downfalls of the system. 1S-2S capable only? no tuning options? cmon! That's a hard stop for me already! How could they honestly look at the competition and say. . ...nah, our name enough will carry us! I just don't get it sir!

Are you sure the AX24 electronics can work with 8.4 V BEC? (And SCX24 v1?). Did you test it? Confirmation would be cool (I am afraid of breaking more RC units in micros because of testing this ;-) ).

@2fmrc Жыл бұрын

I’ve ran the stock servos at 7.4 in this a bit just to see if it would work. Haven’t did 8.4 just because I never really had a system that would run it installed with the stock stuff. I’m usually ripping all that out lol. I can install my lizard ultimate in it and try them on 8.4 sometime. This standard Python was limited at 7.4 so that’s all I tried. I would say either way the stock servos probably won’t last long at 7.4 or 8.4 lol

@donaldsneffe Жыл бұрын

@@2fmrc You misunderstood my question. The question is not, if the servo does work with 8.4 V, the question is, if the receiver unit does. Because if this would be the case, you finally wouldn't have to run any BEC anyway, you could run directly from a 2s Lipo (but not 3s then). I made such a build with a Flysky micro receiver, which does work with up to 9 V. In this case, a BEC is not necessary (if you run only 2s, not 3s), and you can run your HV servo. But I doubt (but am not sure) that the receiver does run on 8.4 V, maybe it will break. If not, this would be super nice, but I will not test. Here is such a truck without any BEC, direct 2s Lipo driven (servo and receiver): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldOZjL1625bKe4U.html But if you wanna run 3s, then you could use an ESC (Furitek) with HV BEC (8.4 V) and simply plug it into the CH2 out of SCX24 v1 elo or AX24 Elo. Then your servo will run on 2s (as does the receiver unit) and the motor on 3s. This is an interesting question IMO - will the receivers work on 8.4 V?

There’s a lot of value in the cayman setups. Is it my favorite chassis? No, but it’s still good and definitely the best place to start vs a stock truck. The shocks on it are the main thing I would consider upgrading first as they have a tendency to stick bad. Besides that you could run it for a good while just as it comes imo.
