Yes, I even made a video about it (and other Dumbo receivers). It is super bad in low speed modulation - see here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZtohq6YsbjVlJc.html

Nevermind I didn't watch till the end. Of course you tried

MB100 is probably too big for Mini-Z 4x4. I would use ASX24 or Klemm Floh, both work awesome and are light.

That is the original SCX24 Betty. But you can buy the body from Axial or on Ali (fake), and also the Ali bodies do come with those stickers. Many dealers on Ali offer this, for example: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005961231027.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.3.129817deHPdg7Z&algo_pvid=141d0a01-2c33-4c66-a94f-a1beb30fb699&algo_exp_id=141d0a01-2c33-4c66-a94f-a1beb30fb699-1&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21EUR%2112.48%2111.82%21%21%2194.01%2189.07%21%402103200517132769216942966e0728%2112000035058809864%21sea%21DE%21105010260%21&curPageLogUid=TJgM3s3oTf2i&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A

Would fit perfectly. The Kratos used in this video is a Hobby Plus 1/18 - lot of room, as you can see.

@@donaldsneffe cool! Thanks Donald!👊🏼😎✌🏼

Thank you. No, won't do this because I'd have to change all electronics then. If ESC in the Austar would be crap, ok, but... it is so good, only this F/B/R thing and the slow reverse spoil everything. I have soooo many things I want to do and do not have enough time ;-) (e.g. Lemur modification work in progress, MN111 new motor work in progress, TRX-4M Surpass brushless mod work in progress, 2 1/2 Orlandoo kits here not built/started/finished yet, new Injora bodies, painting, several SCX24, FMS, Hobby Plus, FX118, to modify, build, ... ). I really hope there will be an updated version of the Austar one day with the new software of this MB100 ESC. Meanwhile I bought a second one and maybe will build it to an Injora Tarantula (work in progress ;-) ) - maybe in this I could try the new MB100. But that's future, actually I am fighting with this nasty Lemur for already way too much time... I am quite sure, performance of the Austar will not increase using the MB100, you'll only have a direct forward/reverse. I am quite sure low speed modulation will be the same. Probably there will even be a slight decrease in performance, because the MB100 is rather heavy, negative for COG.

@donaldsneffe Okay. I have shared the video on the Austar AX-8560 fb group as a lot of people are modifying this rig already and have talked about this esc.

5 and 5.5 mm nutdriver (or pliers) for wheels, 1.5 mm hex for most screws, small PH screwdriver for body screws and rims.

No - you will need a normal receiver. So you cannot use it with "standard electronics" in microcrawlers, which include receiver and ESC. Exceptions: trucks with CH2 out, which are SCX24 v1 and v3, AX24, Panda Hobby Tetra. CR-24: with old Turbo Racing electronics you can buy a TurboRacing 4-ch receiver and use it with stock radio and connect the ESC to this receiver. But new generation does come with Flysky electronics (very good ESC) and radio, same as FCX24s etc. - and those do not have a ch2 out, you cannot use the ESC with those.

@@donaldsneffe thanks a lot for such a detailed answer!!!👍

@@vapo8627 Forgot the Axial AX24, which has the same electronics as the v3 SCX24, and maybe Panda 1/24 (do not have it, do not know if it has the same electronics as the 1/18 with CH2 out).

I agree with all your points, but think it is quite harsh to call my con points "ridiculous". The more because those points are independent of price (for producer). Questions to you: Would it be more expensive to program 100% reverse instead of 50%? Would it be more expensive to produce a version without case? But this size and weight thing is more a point important for people who do in 1/24s (SCX24, Mini-Z 4x4), a fact, no critics, however, if Injora wants to target also this market,smaller than 1/18, they should consider it. If the MB100 would cost 100 bucks, I would have exactly the same pros and cons as I do now for 20 bucks (plus: "too expensive"). If you only want to see and hear positive points of products you obviously like you should watch other channels out there, not mine. There are tons out there making propaganda videos. I pay for my stuff and say what I think and will not hide any negative or con-point.

@@donaldsneffeyou are %100 on point good sir! Keep up the great work.

He said a lot of positive points he got excited about, my problem with his videos is I get brain overload with information 🤣 I love the 50% reverse but it's all opinions. "I'll be back" 🤣

@@lgrc6120 50% reverse does not give you the option to use 100% reverse. But 100% reverse gives you the option to use only 50% - in nearly each "little better" radio you can set endpoints (also called "way" in EdgeTX radios and "travel" in Spektrum radios) for throttle (forward and reverse independently, not to mix up with dual rate, which does reduce ways in both directions).

I totally agree.

The fms fcx24/hobbyplus fly sky 2 in 1 units are the best you’ll find for micro crawlers as far as rtr electronics. I feel no need to switch them out unless I’m going to brushless or trying to make a 4ws rig. But with the v5 version it has 4ws mixing.

OK, did not see it yet. Have to get my hand on it, then I will.

This will not work. If your ESC is able to work with 1s, too, it might work if you remove red and black wire from the servo plug of this ESC and put red and black from the battery wire of your ESC in instead. I do have a tiny ESC that works that way ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdindKurl62vqHU.html ). But the problem will also be Amperage. Probably the v3 receiver combo is not able to deliver enough Amp for powering the motor. Normally those tiny combos have maybe 1 Amp BEC (or so, I do not know - but think of the tiny ESCs, their BEC which powers the receiver normally delivers 0.5 - 1 Amp only). You could try, but I expect the Amperage delivered by v3 combo to be way too low even for a small SCX24 030 motor. If you try, do this very carefully, best open the box and check if anything gets hot or very warm in v3 unit. But if it works your truck will be much slower and weaker then, because it gets only 5.5 V (? - or is it 6 V in the v3? Did not check/test) from the inbuilt BEC of v3, and not ca. 7,5 - 8,4 V from the 2s Lipo that normally directly powers ESC and motor. I do not think it will work, and I think there is the danger to burn the v3 combo because of too much Amp ESC/motor will take. Whine? Cheap micro ESCs normally do also have whining. But if your ESC does not have a whine, then of course using this will stop this v3 whining (v2 was much better in this).

@@donaldsneffe Thanks! Yes that makes sense, I do not think I will try running a motor off the bec, doesn’t seem like a good idea. Which esc would you recommend that’s as inexpensive as possible while still offering better than stock modulation and no whine (That has 100% reverse, that’s a dealbreaker on the injora for me unless I can’t find anything else). Thank you again man.

Btw I have external receivers and wouldn’t mind putting a full size esc in and getting rid of the whole stock esc combo, so size isn’t really much of an issue, weight kind of is as I don’t want to raise cg but not too worried about it.

@@travispratt6327 MB100 and ISDT ESC70 are for sure the cheapest very good ESCs. Klemm Floh, Modellbau-Regler.de ASX24 - awesome ESCs for micros, but not so cheap anymore and not so easy to purchase for you probably.

@@donaldsneffe Thanks again, yes I’m in USA so those aren’t very easy to get, I really wish the injora just had full reverse, such a silly design. Oh well.

Seems to be a problem with drivetrain or something? Does it run normal with stock electronics? Take off driveshafts and check if it works then (without axles and wheels)

Never mind. V2 doesn’t have a channel 2 to plug it in 😐

Does not work, no ch2 out

Of which truck? SCX24 v1 and v3, Panda Hobby yes, SCX24 v2, Austar, FMS, Hobby Plus, TRX-4M etc. no.

Eher nicht, musst Throttle reverse machen und dann beim Motor die Polung ändern.

Never heard of this problem (also not in the forum, where a lot of people do have the Austar). You are sure your battery is alright? Are you sure that plugs/wires are alright and there is no small/tiny shortcut anywhere? Every small ESC would be ok, but unfortunately then you will have to change radio/receiver, too.

@@donaldsneffe Yes, I checked it, and every time it accelerates, the esc light keeps flashing, and it was happening to accelerate on its own without touching the radio, I bought the mb100 injora, was it the best option? Will it serve well?

@@wineff499 Yes, it is very good and will serve well. But you will need a new radio and receiver to use it. You cannot use it with AX8560 stock radio and receiver. Without touching the radio? Also with freshly charged batteries? Did you try new batteries in radio? Sounds strange.

@@donaldsneffe Yes, I already have a radio from another model here, so I just bought the receiver to reuse, new batteries in the radio and even so the problem persisted, will this injora esc last long?, I thought about buying an esc for 2 dollars, I don't believe it is long lasting, thank you great video!

@@wineff499 This Injora ESC is brandnew, released few weeks ago - so nobody will be able to tell you now if it lasts long ;-) Those super cheap ESCs are ok, "last long" maybe, but low speed performance is normally super, super bad and they are loud (whining).

Not if you plug it into the stock axial esc.

OK, never thought of this - you may be right.
