Excellent...would you change your other trucks to that same Fusion 2 in 1 motor like in your TRX-4 Defenfer/Bronco and Axial Bomber? I'm interested to know and see if you'd make a video too as I have a Defender and Axial Bomber 2.0

@RickysGarageVibes 3 жыл бұрын

Absolutely! I've installed QuikRun Fusions into 7 of my RCs already and it's what Ill buy from now on until there's something better ... love them. They are light, brushless, waterproof, quiet, don't need tuning, drives smooth the best of all the motors I have. I put HW Fusions in the SCX10iii & SCX10ii, MB Scaler, two Gen 8 V2, Gen 8 V1, the RC4WD Desert Runner. My Axial Bomber has a Castle Creations Mamba X, my TRX4 Sports have HW Axes in them. I can do a vid for you with the HW Fusion in the TRX4 Defender or Bronco or Tactical!

@flat-out 3 жыл бұрын

@@RickysGarageVibes Thanks a lot Ricky 👍 I'll look forward to watching them. I saw RC Girl's video putting the HW Fusion in her Defender, I want to see your version as well and what other things you might do with the trucks. Btw I'm contemplating in keeping or selling my Axial Bomber 2.0 it is still brand new hasn't even touch dirt yet. All I've done is change the steering link to aluminum as well as the rear trailing arm and also bought the Incision SS links, sway bar and a set of piggy back shocks for the rear. However in my videos in my channel here you can see I've been driving my TRX-4 Defender most of the time it has become my fav truck. I thought my Bomber 2.0 would accompany it. I like the 2.2 size tires on it and it's a different rig but I'm think I want to get the Gen 8 Axe instead and sell the bomber.

@RickysGarageVibes 3 жыл бұрын

True and agreed! Hope that's next ....

@hyperlogos 3 жыл бұрын

They didn't do this from the factory because 1) extending the wheelbase makes it easier to high-center, which the vehicle does plenty already. 2) they went with the 2100kV motor instead of the 1800kV, and that has an external ESC. Maybe Hobbywing couldn't supply enough of these so they went with the other. Or maybe they felt the additional speed was necessary.
