- This is a follow-up to yesterday's video where I unboxed & upgraded the already awesome Mojave Grom to brushless with a Hobbywing Quicrun 16BL30 ESC & Reedy 4500kv 280 motor.
I was able to pin the trigger and get her scootin! I needed to check the temps as that Reedy motor gets hot.
Let me know what you think and as always everyone stay well!

That thing is a beast. WOW. And the suspension is on point.
Awesome video and channel.
Thanks 👍
Enjoyed the video, very informative and cool to watch ! Thank You
😁
Bro, you are a brave dude to be driving that little grom in the street of NY like that. There's people, cars and congestion everywhere. My luck, id end up crashing my RC, and would hit a $100K car. LOL Great videos though bud. I love the excitement you bring to the videos. Keep the Grom upgrades coming.
😁
You’re the only other person I seen open those, I did that exact same thing with my Mojave 4s. I also did the vent louvers on the front fenders.
Fenders, you say 🤔 👍
Another channel had a good point. Might a well get the 10bl60 esc rather than the 30. You can't have too much esc when it comes to heat and such. It'll fit just a easy and is only a few dollars more.
No esc heat issues with the 30. It's the motor that gets hot. Thanks tho 👍
I don't know why he said that because it's easily 20 dollars more. The 30 is around 25-30$ and the 60 is 45-50$ so if your on a budget the 30 is way to go.👍
@@ReactionRC true, but to the average RC addict that's not a lot. Anyone of us with an Infraction or Felony spend nearly that much in tires every battery pack or two.
I thought it was a good idea because I have more options in the future for the 60 since it'll go in more different vehicles if you wanted to change stuff up later on. I personally love the BL series esc's and combo's along with the Spektrum stuff and try to buy at least one every time I catch them on sale just to have on hand. I'm running the 10bl and 8bl combo's in at least a dozen rigs and haven't had an issue with one yet.

My favorite too today last day 15% off too but place that sell LC racing had regular bl60 on sale for 40 bucks and I didn’t realize there’s a bl35 too that’s why there cars are so fast , I put bl30 in 14t to get rid of the lag or soft punch I have the mini Losi is why I went with the 30
Best brushless run yet I seen
Thanks! 😄
Having the fan blow air over the wires is super important. The wires are the weakest link in the system always. The balance of gauge for amperage is no joke. However they all get hot. So having airflow over the wires will help gain some more speed. The hotter it is the bigger the loss and then slower speeds. You’re on the right track.
Thanks for this!
Wish they used better wire little copper would go a long way lol I put fans on everything if you go hard keeping the center diff nice to have some air moving over too .
Heat rises, so I'd say up and out for the fan is probably best. They did a pretty good job with this little guy and those speeds are very impressive for that scale!
Sounds about right, thanks bro 🙏
Good set up. Certified 🔥✔️☝️
Yes sir! 🫡
Crazy that it wheelies like that. Little tires that aren’t even soft, it’s crazy that’s it’s doing that.
I know right? 😁
Im definitely gonna have to get one of these. They look really cool and plus that thing is fast awesome video 💯👍
Thanks! 😄
@@bigbristv Your welcome 👍
sick little rc
Yup 👍
I've tested this and fan directly onto the motor was way more effective than trying to pull rising heat up and away. Most effective cooling is a fan directly onto the can, as close as it can sit without interfering with each others magnets.
That's how Arrma runs the fans on my Felony: fresh air straight down onto the motor.
Thanks for this!
A slight standoff on the motor so the air has a place to go works best for me. Those 2s rocket fans are great and can handle 8.4v no problem.
@noname-yb5jt thanks
I’d personally like to see you add fans where the stickers were. I have the same one as you and I’m following your build
I don't think it would be worth the trouble of adding fans there. I did add a more powerful 30mm Rocket fan in place of the stock fan, which I'll show in my next vid on it, along with some other things.
@@bigbristv looking forward to seeing that!
Note to self....
*Add a layer of metal duct tape to the fender wells*
😂👍
Nice upgrades 💯.
Thanks!
If you have a good transmitter you can put the fan on a switch on the remote. It doesn't really matter and works the same but is nice. This is an absolute beast, some very nice upgrades.
how please?
@@superteuteuch I don't know what transmitter you have but you can use your menu, sorry I dont make videos and too much for a message. Have a look on UA-cam sure you wil find a video on how to use your reciver channel with a switch function on your radio/transmitter.
.
Yo Bris….you dont need that thing, just send that “thing-thing” my way.😂😂😂😂😂 Jersey
It's in the mail bro, I promise 😂
@@bigbristv 😂😂😂😂😂
If you don’t mind me asking,but how long have you been in the RC hobby? You have some great ideas and nice work,and I’ve only been following you for a really short time. Notifications 📢 are on now buddy! Keep up the awesome stuff 😎!
Thank you! Been in the hobby in some form for over 35 years. 😉
Nice! All you need is 32mm foams might need a wheelie bar lol
😂
Might keep the front end down if you were to put the gps on the hood or roof.
Who wants to keep the front end down? 😂
Rubbing was an issue on mine with the stock motor as well, the one back tire already has a spot rubbed through
Yup, gotta watch that
I guess I’m bougie for switching my racing cars too Losi lol but I’m having a lot of fun with my Mini T gonna turn it in to a mini sprint dwarf car can wait to do some oval racing with it as well plus it’s making me want to put a track in the backyard more witch will hopefully be done soon love the content man.
Thanks man! 😂
The castle 1010 motor doesn't get as hot
OK 👍
Great video my friend and im glad to see your subs going up!!! You deserve it! Mine came today. Is that the hobbywing 2435 motor also?
Nah, it the Reedy 280. Beast of a tiny motor. Had it in my Team Associated Reflex 14b and that thing went!
you need surpass hobby rocket fans they are overpowerd cant you add a fan on the air intake at the front?
Nice!
Are you running a 3s 2200mah lipo battery?
Yup
What's the motor shaft size on that team associated motor
I believe 2.3, same as the stock brushed motor the Mojave Grom comes with.
Man great run from the big apple love Newyork I'm from the UK and it's raining and has bein for 2 days ps I know your truck is pulling wheels but is that more because you have the GPS on the back bumper what would it be like with out jps on the back any way bro awesome video and I really love the blue and yellow truck I'm a big fan of this colour as it's very similar to the MICHELIN Pilot Cosworth and it was my most favorite rally car from the 90s all the best from the UK what part of the US you at bro 👊
Yo! I'm in NYC, the heart. The gps might have something to do with the wheelies but I don't even care, seeing that little thing stand up made buying 2 so worth it! 😂
@bigbristv ya I'm definitely liking it amazing run
@offsetrc Thanks!
Where did you buy the ARRMA work mat? I need that
ARRMA Foam Pit Mat, 24" x 68", ARA840000 a.co/d/11lBCsf
From them via Momazon ARRMA Foam Pit Mat, 24" x 68", ARA840000 a.co/d/11lBCsf
@@bigbristv cheers mate! Just had a look, it's going to cost nearly $100 NZD with shipping to New Zealand 🇳🇿 🤣 is it worth it ?
@RCDEPENDANT lol. There's got to be a cheaper option. After all, it's just a yoga mat with a logo. 😂
I bought the Reedy 280-SL4, 4500kv motor , which just arrived today and I've just ordered the QUICRUN-WP-16BL30 esc , which should arrive in a couple days, I'm going to get the gpm cvds , gpm motor mount, and the full metal diffs from eBay aswell. You have the same motor and esc combo in yours, what would you rate it out 10?, 10 being excellent, 1 being shit house.
That lil truck looks and runs good, but once i went to 1/8 scale i never looked at anything smaller. When is the next time you gonna be out running one of your cars, maybe we can meet up and run them .
Not sure, 😁
That’s really too much. I’m all about the Tim Taylor mentality, but that’s too much truck.
🙂
you need somewhere better to run man
👌
Impressive
😁
