I have been a big fan of the Hobbywing Fusion SE systems - but am kind of bored of putting them in everything! :) Time to try something different!
In this video, I unbox, install, program, and test the Furitek Python X ESC and Komodo Ten outrunner motor.

Gonna start using these types of ESCs…..space on some of these rigs is getting limited …. Nice upgrades on the Ascent! I noticed it doesn’t have much articulation like they all do …or don’t 😊 I’ve seen a couple guys pull the inner spring out and it helps a bunch….FYI

@RoadsideRC 7 ай бұрын

Yes! I have not started messing with the suspension a lot on this truck yet. If I am honest - I just keep watching it while driving...and haven't really seen a need to modify the suspension based on performance. It keep driving over things - so I leave it alone!

Furitek is awesome. Their esc's have great tunability. I'm running Furitek combo's in 4 different trucks. Once you try one you won't want to use anything else.

@RoadsideRC 7 ай бұрын

Which of their combos is your favorite?

@addamsegal 7 ай бұрын

@@RoadsideRC it's hard to say my favorite. I really like that we can run an outrunner now without all the high pitch whining. I like that you can adjust the throttle curve in the ESC too. Everything can be tuned to your liking. The only downside is none of the ESC' s I have are even water resistant. I thought about using some conformal coating on them. I have 2 truck running Komodo 10 2500kv with the older Lizard 10 esc's and they run great. I also have a couple SCX24's. One is running the Komodo mini with the Lizard pro ESC and the other is running a micro Komodo and the Tegu pro ESC. They run very good too.

That small motor is better than the old one? Wow!!

@RoadsideRC 7 ай бұрын

The outrunner style produces a BUNCH of torque and great low-speed control. The downsides: usually noisy, not waterproof, careful selection of KV is key or it will be slower.

Those options are all through the receiver - not through the ESC.

Didn't look like it crawls slower than the fusion. I'm wanting something for my gmade r1. Not enough room for a fusion. Was thinking outrunner but now i don't know.

@RoadsideRC 25 күн бұрын

Perhaps the video just didn't show it enough. Outrunner motors set the bar for slow crawl. The system would do great in that R1.

I feel like you missed the chance to point out that the Python X and both of the motors Furitek is pairing with it are capable of 4s, where the Fusion SE and Pro are only rated for 3s. ExocagedRC put the Python X and furitek inrunner combo in his Ascent and that thing on 4s is probably the closest you're going to get to a rock crawler that can race too 😂 Oh, also the fact that the Python X is brushed capable as well, you just have to change settings in the Furicar app. If it's anything like their 24th scale ESC it will kill on a brushed motor.

So you pay twice the price of a Hobbywing for a squealing esc motor combo that you need a smart phone to use? I don't have a smart phone but I have plenty of program cards so I'll be passing on the over priced squealing Furitek 💥

@andrewhead4365 7 ай бұрын

Thankful for this video because I have Hobbywing Fusion Pros and SEs in all my crawlers and was thinking of trying one of these systems just to be different. Doesn’t look nearly as smooth as the Hobbywing and can’t take the whining noise. Only upside I see is being able to make changes via Bluetooth and not needing to hook up program card. Not really a big deal though because once all the settings are where I like them, I never really have to adjust again

@RoadsideRC 7 ай бұрын

I am a big Hobbywing fan, for sure. It is great to have options. I have put the Fusion in so many builds, that I wanted to try something different. There are folks that really like the outrunner torque and super-low weight. That is something that Hobbywing doesn't offer...and I am not sure why.

@RoadsideRC 7 ай бұрын

That is why I do this! Glad the video helped you.
