SCX24 Comp Build - Mofo RC ROP Brushless Motor Install! HUGE POWER and CRAZY Speed!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2023
- In this video I install and review the brand new ROP brushless motor from Mofo RC! This motor is the icing on the cake for the Axial SCX24 comp build, truly taking it's performance and capability to the next level. This motor is the successor to the SMP, but has double the kv at 3400kv, which translates into massive top end power! Incredibly, it still manages to maintain excellent low speed control. Check out the video to see it in action!

You may build some of the most capable and awesome 24th scale trucks I have ever seen....you got it figured out👍👍
Thanks, I appreciate that! It's all trial and error, and lots of fun in the process.
That is one HELL of a build Adam! Keep the vids coming, so sweet! Looking forward to your next upload.
Thank you! I've got some great stuff coming. It's going to be a busy and fun spring!
Yeah love how the lighting looks on the purple looks super cool, this is the same motor set up I will be going with
That is a seriously awesome build!! I'm not the biggest fan of the cliffhanger body, but yours looks good, I like your paint job a lot. That motor is impressive, so much control. Thanks for another great video Adam, take care!!!
Thanks! I'm not a big fan of the cliffhanger either but I dig it on this rig.
That ROP brushless looks awesome love the slow claw the the high top speed
Best of both worlds!
Wow this comp rig is going to kill the competition, could you even make it better? So cool can’t wait to see it in competitions
It's a weapon. I don't know what else I would do, or want to do to it. I'm super happy with it.
You just took the comp build from epic to MVP bro , I know you will get it to purr like a kitten . Definitely gotta check that motor out . Great 👍 video Adam
Haha thanks! I’ll get it tuned up. It’s going to be lethal. Can’t wait to get it out and really stress test it!
Nice build. Very nice.
i love this build!!! so cool.......... thank you........!!!
Incredible upgrades!
It's a great motor!
@Cape Crawlers I agree and definitely want to get that exact set up for maybe my Deadbolt. I'm getting ready to install a Reefs 99 as soon as I get the servo mount that I ordered.
That’s an interesting motor,I hadn’t heard of that one before your video it certainly seems more controlled at slow speed.
It’s a very cool motor. Glad I tried it.
I've been doing some testing and I'm going to tell you now in my eyes to ROP is the best motor on the market micro Fury Tech Motor which all of them were built off of Nick's motor I mean a lot of people know this anyway it is pretty damn good in snow but I don't think it compares to the ROP actually just put the mini Komodo in my car last night just to test it and it is not near as fast it is pretty smooth but not near as fast and not just that but Nick is trying to do it out of his garage he's trying to build a business out of it you know so let's help our fellow man out
Just picked up one of these bad boys last week…can’t wait to drop it into something
Such a great motor. I hope you enjoy it!
Looking at Mofo's website they look like really high quality without killing the budget. I think I'm going to have to pick one of these motors up. It's slow enough for me but what I want is slow enough like this but then also able to at least go as fast as I can walk.
Just ordered myself the ROP motor after seeing your video Adam. I love the purple 😍😍 and after having the SMP motor in my C10 it was a no brainer. I have the Ripper chassis from LGRP so think its going in to that build, just got to wait for the Super 8 billet rear axle to come into stock so i can start the build 👍🏻👍🏻.
Still the best channel on UA-cam in my opinion, not many channels come close to be fair.
Looking forward to the next video and think your Comp build is going to be unstoppable, such a nice looking rig also 😍. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤙🏻👍🏻❤️
Thank you! Man, this would be amazing in the Ripper. Let me know how that goes. I am starting a ripper build very soon and am debating on what motor to use in it.
@@CapeCrawlers certainly will Adam. Will have to get my hands on the Tegu V2 cos the V1 that i have doesnt allow me to up the voltage for the Mofo Brass servo i have.
Very sweet man 😋👍
Thanks for watching!
Definitely a improvement I just bought a Furitek cayman cause I wanted brushless without ruining my stock lcg chasis I made it’s gonna be fun to compare my brushed setup versus my cayman build.
Love the cayman. Very cool rig! Have fun with it!
So cool
👍🏻👍🏻
Love the videos
Thank you!
We all strive for the perfect build.it's hard sometimes with the learning process with pushed inadequate parts! We want quality but some vendors like money over quality. They know this.
Gotta work with what we've got for these little things I suppose
This guy puts nothing on but the best parts and he gives us straight up and honest reviews. So I’m a little confused on your comment.
This is just a generalized statement. I wasn't referring to this guy in general. More like fenders pumping out terrible stock axel shafts in down right unreliable ecs are my current grips in general lol
I love my ROP. I’m tempted to get another one for my other SCX24 😬 though I’ll need to refine my driving a bit more so I don’t ruin my axles!
It certainly has parts-snapping power!
By the way, in the FuriCar app, do you use the Komodo preset?
Is that like a fuel cell added to the bed or part of the build sticking through the body to lower body on frame?
Love this build. Love the stance and that's my favorite body for the scx24. Those tires look like they're holding you back... pretty stiff. On a few sections they seemed to skip over terrain rather than wrap (@20:42 or @11:37 for example). What foams are you running?
Thanks! I’m running crawler innovations medium foams.
🤯🤟
I see you use the tegu esc…good choice!
It’s my favorite setup I think. Love the all in one functionality and the 8.4v output.
@@CapeCrawlers also it’s the cheapest one because of its size but a good deal with Bluetooth only $49 on Amazon I might get that motor thanks for the demo
I know this is an old video but can you please tell me what magnet mount that is?? I have been looking for one that works well on the Ugly AF
im going to buy this asap just cause its purple
🤣 the purple is gorgeous
The 4100 bam will crawl that slow and still faster than the top 😎👍
Good point! I haven't tried the BAM.
@@CapeCrawlers it’s definitely a rocket 👍got three so far
Do you know if this motor has the same mounting hole spacing as the mini Komodo?
Do you think this Tegu24 would be a good ESC to run in my Max Smashers with the speed motor issue I mentioned? Do I need a Furitek transmitter too? I was planning on getting one anyways for my TRX4M (Can I run same transmitter on both trucks?)
I'd have to look at the plug on the Max Smasher motor. It may not fit the Tegu. But if it did, you would need the avatar transmitter. And yes, the avatar can run up to 10 trucks.
I bet that servo could throw a longer horn man you could turn 360s wow
It’s a beast
really digging the build in this video, one of the reasons why i have a simular motor and esc combo. Im having some trouble tunning my throtle curve a bit, i was wondering if maybe you could help a fellow crawler out and iron out some wrinkles?
A couple of quick adjustments you can try are the low speed settings, punch, and max reverse. Increase the slow speed, reduce the punch, and reduce the max reverse. The combined effect should smooth it out
Adam, great build! What transmission are you using, and then Mod.3 or Mod.5 on the ROP motor?
Thank you! I’m running the LGRP billet transmission. Stock pitch on the gears and mod 3 on the ROP
Were you ever able to smooth the jump out? I'm running fcx axles with the ROP and it's much more noticeable with them. I managed to make it better, but it's still too twitchy to be a good crawler.
Not yet, but I haven't spent much time on it since the install. Hoping to troubleshoot it this week.
Have you ever tried a 5 slot motor combo on such a small rig? I noticed you were saying the slower throttle control was an issue. If so what are your thoughts 🤔
I have not. I usually just rely on the Furitek app to smooth out the throttle. I'm hoping I can do the same here. Fingers crossed!
Have you ever thought of doing a Orlando build
Nice video
I have one on the bench! Hoping to start this weekend.
Sweet I would love to see a review thank uou
You have to make a updated vid on the fcx and the deadbolt after the upgrades!!!!!!!!
Yes I do. It's long overdue!
hey buddy I had a quick question, I put the FairRC high speed motor in one of my Max Smashers and now the throttle cuts out constantly, do you think this is an ESC issue? I switched to a 30c 2s Lipo that I made sure to fully charge and still having issues. I have the V2 electronics, I am not sure they are up to the task, the motor is very warm too after running a few minutes. What motor do you recall you put in yours?
I have the high speed motor in both of ours. My sons used to do the same: cut in and out. We ultimately replaced the esc and it’s been better since then. They do run hot!
@@CapeCrawlers Thanks, I suspected I will just need a better esc =( down the rabbit hole again
Did you have to trim/cut the driveshafts at all being that you flipped the skid plate?
Thankfully no. It fit with no mods even after flipping the skid.
Hey been watching a bunch of your videos, nice work on the build! What is the weight of the rig so far, and whats the bias front/rear?
Thanks for watching! I will have to weigh it. I believe it's around 400g. I don't have a four point scale yet so I can't speak to the bias.
What transmission did you run in this build
I installed mine yesterday an wow, I kinda like it more than my purple HH team spec. I wasn't expecting that kinda performance. Running it with the lizard pro. Which links are you running WB wise, c10 gladiator deadbolt?
It’s a great motor! I’m running gladiator links all around.
@@CapeCrawlers Awesome, thank you!!
Adam, I’m curious about your Tegu24 Pro. I just got mine yesterday but haven’t put it into anything yet. The specs that I see on Furitek’s website says that the BEC only does 5 or 6.5 volts at 2.5 amps, did they increase it to 8.4 through a firmware update, increase it & just not update the website or did you get a special Adam model from them?
Hey James, I had to go double check my rigs to confirm that it is indeed 8.4v and it is. I am guessing it was a firmware upgrade sometime ago and they haven’t updated the website. I have not gotten any of these special from furitek, they are all the off the shelf versions.
Great and thank you for your reply!
Do you know what combination of driveshafts you used to be able to have the skid plate reversed?
I was still able to retain the gladiator driveshaft front and back even after flipping it
So does the mounting plate let u mount it to the stock trans?
Yes it does
Do you think the trx4m shocks will fit on the fcx24
Possibly! The length is good, just a question about how the hardware will work.
Any luck with smoothing out the slower speeds? Do you think the higher speed is at the expense of low end tork/power compared to the SMP? For crawling I want low ends tork and smooth throttle through the range. I hesitate when I see that jumping at a certain point.
Thanks! (I'm almost caught up!!!!)
I've got it to a manageable place. I run it on low speed with the avatar and that, combined with some small tweaks to the punch and slow speed settings in the app seem to help. But I do think the jerky low end is the price paid for the rip roaring top/mid power.
@@CapeCrawlers Glad to hear it. They all seem to suffer that sudden jerk at one point in the curve. I thunk I read on MoFo's site, it's when it comes out of the FOC. I'm not up on what exactly the FOC does and how it works. Hope to find a vid from one of the fellas that explains it in detail. Great vid's! Binging more today so hope to be caught up soon.
I'm curious what setup so you use to record while driving?
Just my iphone, hand held!
What’s the servo you got on there ? Housing looks like it’s made out of brass
It’s the Mofo RC servo beast. Solid brass!
I'm curious on what it takes to run this motor backwards. I have the .3 Injora transmission.... Can I simply just rotate this thing 90° and call it a day?
Thats all I did. I have run into issues in other projects where the reversal of the skid causes issues with driveshaft length, but I didn't experience that here, or on my deadbolt.
if only mofo or furiteck made some high quality polymer transmission mounts ,don't get me wrong the cnc aluminum is sweet but on 1/24 that's a lot of weight
That's a good suggestion.
this is incredible too! What is the Chasis exactly? and does it have a long wheelbase too? Thanks in advance, your videos are really informative!
Thanks! This is the Ugly AF chassis from MofoRC. I used the gladiator links/driveshafts, so it's pretty long.
@@CapeCrawlers thank you!! 🙏
Can you say how much is maximum speed compared to the original once scx24 motor?
Probably 2x, maybe more. It’s fast!
Are there any brushless setups that don’t have that stutter where it switches out of foc?
My furitek stuff was very frustrating and I ended up going back to stock esc
Something sensored. Not sure what’s out there for 24th scale in sensored
We're pretty limited in options for the 1/24. Furitek really has the market cornered.
Do you know if there is a all in one esc/rx for the flysky?
I don’t believe there is, at least not that I’ve seen
@@CapeCrawlers what handset are you using on this setup, the stock one?
I was able to dang near tune and all the way out of mine
Will this set up work on the LGRP comp chassis kit
Yes it will
Trying to see what links you have on there any info I appreciate
Mofo RC brass links, gladiator length front and back.
I’ve been trying to get my hands on mofo parts but haven’t had any luck
Why the trouble, is it just availability?
Do a build and put rear gladiator links in the front and in the rear with a buggy chassis and super 8s that would be sick that’s what I want to build but want to see someone else do it 😂lol
That thing would be stretched!!
Can I ask what type of transmitter that is and what kind would you recommend if I upgrade to brushless thank you appreciate the videos keep the coming!!
I am using the furitek avatar setup. I like it, but for the money I think a flysky gt5 is the best bang for the buck.
@Cape Crawlers appreciate you thanks for the information
Turbo racing P32 great awesome budget friendly option. Way better than stock tx and the reciever is small and fits great also waterproof.
Can you fit a two speed with this motor?
I personally have not seen it done, but that doesnt mean it isnt possible!
Are you running the rubber band on the front of this one as a limit strap, too?
This one no. I mount the front shocks up higher on the chassis to limit the axle drop. This one isn't set up to flex like my other rigs. I wanted more performance than articulation.
The change didn’t appear to affect it too much. Still looks hella flexy!
you should do 1 more comp build..then compare them...
Could you tell me the name of these tyres?
Powerhobby trail warriors. They're great!
Hi which magnet mounts are you using?
I'm using this one: amzn.to/40MJB5J
I super glued it to the chassis since there wasn't any way to bolt it on.
How do i use my flysky noble nb4 with a build like this?
Should be able to use a compatible Flysky receiver, plug the esc into ch2 and off you go
flipping the mount, is there a change in driveshaft length or angle?
Slight change in length. Angle seems unchanged for the most part
@@CapeCrawlers nice. I’m doing the same links on my ugly and have metal shafts. Hopefully I won’t have to cut them. lol.
Have you tried this system on 3S ?
Yes, it’s wild! But still crawls pretty well.
is it normal for furitek to take a month ? i live in sc ?
Not typical, but not out of the realm of possibilities. I’ve had some items take about that long to get to me (Massachusetts). Do you have tracking info?
Have u had the Bluetooth Module wires come undone sucks I don’t know what to do
Yikes, no I have not had that happen
I have they are so fragile. I took it to my local hobby shop. The owner soldered it back on and folded it onto the esc so it wouldn’t be in the way and used a piece of he shrink wrapping around the esc. Wrapped around the module and esc .Now I don’t have that fragile annoying module or its wires exposed. Free of charge he said he will screw me on the next purchase later on lol.
I think I run my punch at for my low speed at 40 and break turned all the way off because I still have the worm gear I have my low-speed set higher than most and then even at the break over. Into the regular go ahead go crawl the nice slow speed until you really punch it and then and a hammer
I need to try these settings. Thanks!
So what would be the best, Rop or mini komoto?
Oh man, that's a tough question. I think I kind of prefer the lesser speed of the mini Komodo. The ROP is so ruthless in the mid/top end of the powerband that it almost disrupts my driving style.
These are just soo micro realistic, it needs one more thing. The sound modulator. Has anyone tried the Orlandoo micro modulator speaker set up in the scx24 ?
Yes! I considered trying the sound module on the SCX24 but I never did. Curious if someone has...
Have you found a way to smooth this motor ? Thanks
The best way I found was using my radio. The avatar radio has the exponential function that worked great to smooth out the bottom.
Have you tried a 3s?
Do you know of any brushless motor that would work with a mud build?
Hmm you’d need something waterproof, so an inrunner of some sort I would think. You could check out the furitek rocket man. That Godzilla motor would be awesome in a mud truck.
why didn't you choose the Furitek Lizard Ultimate?
I like having one piece of electronics. The Tegu is really appealing because of it's 2-1 esc/rx functionality and it puts out the same voltage as the ultimate.
@Cape Crawlers thanks Adam. I also like the looks of tegu, but it's too exposed to dust and water... do you think it's possible to seal those open sides? I prefer rock crawling but my 5 year old son loves the mud and water! Lol!
Do you like this motor over the Komodo?
So I haven’t seen any updates in this build for a few months?
It’s coming! I just got a new chassis for it actually. Mazz designs cheat code!
@@CapeCrawlers that’s actually really good news because most of the Mofo RC chassis are out of stock. 😂
Would you say this is faster than the mofo big block?
Yes for sure
Lol Think I’ll need one of these now my AX24 weighs about a pound, 500g+ I think the buzz saw mofo I got isn’t going to last long.
800g AX24! That's a beast!
@@CapeCrawlers lol typo, meant 500g. She up on my insta now with the portals and all. Just waiting on HC brass links and I am done till the motor gives. 💪💰🔥😂
How much did this upgrade cost?
The motor and esc upgrade is around $140 together
3flow9rc front diff cover derelin skid should be on the front of that bad boy! Now in colors to match your build. Really nothing else like it on the market.
I’ll check them out!
difficult to mount the 3f9 diff skid on lgrp super8s when the diff is on the backside of the axles :)
@praetor47 bummer. I think they make a roller bearing steering link for super 8s tho. Forgot he had those on this build.
well thats the esc then .
What do u think about the ugly af chassis?
LOVE IT. Granted I don't have a lot to compare it to, but I really like how it performs.
I need to know what body this is
Proline cliffhanger: amzn.to/3m5xqRG
@@CapeCrawlers your awesome👍🙏
Add me to the Brass servo crew, I may need a purple pancake too... 👍😈💜
Love that servo. It's amazing. Mofo is really killing it with his upgrades lately.
@@CapeCrawlers I seem to agree, I have a set of his new shocks that I want to test.
You're missing a screw on your front left steering knuckle.
I caught that after the video and replaced it 👍🏻
These guys need to start naming their cars, that's hardly an scx24 😜
Gotta call it an scx24 for the algorithm 🤣
@@CapeCrawlers 😂
Can you send a snap shot of the setting for the throttle curve. Curious to see what you have that set on.
Thank you
The throttle curve is stock from furitek, straight linear line across the entire range
@@CapeCrawlers I'd like to see what you end up with when you smooth it out.
Hi Adam - great vid as always. Do all brushless motors require a different ESC from stock? Is it possible to do a brushless conversion for less than $50?
They will require an ESC upgrade. Going brushless for less than $50 will be a challenge. Using the Dinky RC esc would get you close, but even that is still ~$50 just for the ESC.
@@CapeCrawlers thanks for the reply! My Deadbolt motor burnt out so I’m looking to upgrade. Given the expense and mods for brushless I think I’ll stick with brushed. I’ll look at some of your other vids for recs unless you have standout recommendations?
man , i got to stop watching your vids ..... its getting too expensive ....lol.....lol ....fuk it ........ lets gooooooo........... i got 2 rigs thanks to your vids ....great job .......
Haha I'm a terrible influence!
I'm running lizard pro furitek. Tiny.
You should get a 1/10
I'm going to. Just waiting until the weather warms up a little bit so I can use it outside consistently.
@@CapeCrawlers sounds good
your cheating! the inside of that build is way to clean! 😭😂 I got this motor hoping to be some of the first to get a video out but the day of filming it my laptop broke so I was scared to make the video. luckily, I got it up! not as soon as I wanted but it's not doing so bad!
This is by far my cleanest build! I watched your video, it was great!
@@CapeCrawlers YES!!!!! thanks so much! I have plenty to learn!
Please forgive me wtf is a SMP. I’m old bro lol
Haha no problem! It's Slow Motion Pancake
Omg are kidding me lol - kudos man - thank you for all that you do on this channel
Why does furitech electronics suck! 1 crawler 4 esc's later. Is their and alternative for garbage? Other than stock esc.
Furitek pretty much has the market cornered for these little things. I don't know if Hobbywing has anything in this size. Maybe someone from the community can chime in here as I only have experience with Furitek
