I've already run my kit version on 3S in a super shafty rig with 1800kv Revolver. After a 1300 Mah battery (about an hour) the esc was no more than ambient temperature. Good job John. And yes, it's silent.
What a shocker, sold out (kit ver.) Much like everything else. Just a thought maybe stock up probably first so us mere mortals might on the other end of the world can get a chance to try some of these cool products?
@@HolmesHobbies yes all very true, but for some people its a case of narrowing down what options are out there. It’s great to plug some new tech, but if the tech isn’t there, eyes will look elsewhere for alternatives. I see you now have a uk distributor and that is great, I hope they’ll shall be able to expand on the range they currently have. Till then I’ll keep my eyes out for these allusive shiny tech goodies.
Just got mine yesterday! Can't wait to put it my Element Gatekeeper build! Gonna team it up with your Team Spec revolver!! So much goodness coming up from you, I love it!!👍
@Akoni Ikeda I haven't had any issues with temps, The Esc does get warm on really hot days, so i rigged a small fan that i plug in the receiver. My Element weighs in around 4.5 lbs w/out wheels. I can say that its a KILLER set up for sure!! Motor barely gets warm as well!! You would not be dissappointed!!
@Akoni Ikeda I have, but you can only run a 1400kv motor with it, and gear up with a 19t or 20t pinion. I run a 14t pinon on 3s 1500mah battery's on my Team Spec and have plenty of wheel speed, and get about 2 hours run time.
Bought a CM mini v2 kit from RPP a week back. Got it installed with the 2200kv Revolver. Had to wait for my servos to try overall, but tested out and it was nice and SILENT, which is huge for me. As a bassist and sound engineer, that whine keeps me wincing as I reach for the 18k slider that isn't there. lol Thanks for making a quality item that is acceptable for us audiophiles and old cranky bastards. lol When I got my servos and installed them, I was getting huge glitching. and was a bit perplexed. After a day or two of prodding and poking around, thinking it was a problem in the duel bypass I soldered up, I decided to try another rx, and BAM. All was well in the world. Working perfectly other than it gets pretty warm when I'm doing a slow roll. I see the new firmware available and will be putting that in as soon as the programmer I ordered from Dlux Fab arrives. Heard a few say that solves the heat issue. Hope they're right, I love this combo and have only ran it on my floor for a minute at most.
I have the Holmes Hobbies dual-BR mini esc for my MoA, running two puller motors. Do I need to remove the red wire from one of the connectors going into the receiver ? shame there is no connection diagram with the kit.
Interesting I wonder if I can tune my freewheeling programming on my hobbyking. I like the low speed rpm wheel speed lock and release at higher wheel speed on this mini.
does it have onboard temperature sensor ? If not, i'm guessing that has current monitoring ? Could it potentially be programmed to limit it's own current draw and therefore automatically limit it's power and prevent itself from overheating? That would be super cool. This thing looks awesome!
I would compare it to something like an 80 pound flywheel in a jeep in low range in the rocks then the throttle modulation is normal after you get above 10% throttle.
ESC looks to be amazing. I would like to use it for my lightweight build soonish. But in my area there is a lot of sand, so I'm afraid outrunner motor will die quite soon. It there some lightweight closed can motor you could recommend to use with the CrawlMaster Mini Brushless ESC? Won't there be cogging with PULLER PRO - STUBBY - 2700KV?
🤔(WHEN CHOOSING A MOTOR) !!!! ....AND SOME GMADE THOUGHTS.... As long as the new GMADE (GS02F) gears & drivetrain (with overdrive) holds-up to the general use & abuse of my driving style, I think maybe a Revolver might be a great way to take advantage of the (GS02F)'s "gear-slack" that exists in the 2-speed tranny !! 🤔.......cuz with the forward direction [OR] reversing dir. of the gear-slack, or gear catch-up.... I would call it, is where John's REVOLVER MOTOR (might be) a great fit due to the gearing difference, cuz of the (tranny-based overdrive) in 1st gear. So the slow turning of the REVOLVER MOTOR(S), could help "slowly take-up the slack" in the Gmade drivetrain !! ?? (When going from (for. to rev.) OR vice versa). That gear - DIFFERENCE, is 14.29% O.D. (stock)....which takes place while in 1st gear, so the "gear catch-up" (when going in REVERSE) can be a little too much, and I can see how this could potentially be a tranny gear meshing issue, (IF) I were to be hard on my driving operation, from forward to reverse, ✳️BUT more caution WILL BE NEEDED when going from (reverse direction to forward !!!!)✳️ I REALLY THINK EVERY OWNER OF THIS NEWEST GMADE, (THE GS02F) NEEDS TO KNOW THE BENEFITS OF HAVING THIS AWESOME ONE-OFF RC DRIVETRAIN BY GMADE....BUT - MOST IMPORTANTLY, OWNERS & POTENTIAL BUYERS NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS SWEET CRAWLER RIG (IS NOT) TRAXXAS TRX4 TOUGH !!!! - When it comes to a comparison of drivetrain(s)
I have a question I am looking for an ESC for a shafty crawler like the RC4WD Bully 2 with MOA axes, That means I need two ESC and two motors which combo would be suitable for it?
I got the 2500kv 10p and with the capras gearing, it was getting hot and shutting down. John told me to run the 1800kv revolver, so I got a 1800kv revolver and building it now
May I have question here? When I turned on the transmitter, then connected the ESC power with battery and touched the throttle a little bit to startup, the motor was moving automatically and pushing the car backward continuously. Do you know why? I didn’t mean to pull or push the throttle but the motor was turning by default? Seems I need to adjust the trim(+50) to stop the default setting! Is that normal for the mini ESC? Thanks in advance!
So I just got the vfd trans and was let down when I tried to fit my hw fusion in and it didn’t fit 😢, I’m trying to go for a light weight c1 rig and was thinking of purchasing one of these escs, just wanted to know what would be a good motor to go with this esc and would fit my trans thanks Jhon 🤙🏽
@@HolmesHobbies Awesome thanks for the quick response. I will be sure to get one along with the castle bec for my next scx24 project! Love your products!!
looking for something in particular? Chip shortage has made ESCs hard to get but we have backstock of stuff and are filling the site as fast as possible .
@@HolmesHobbies Thanks for the reply. Am on 50/50 throttle but still nothing. Oddly it works on channel 1 using steering wheel just fine; will try 60 clicks of trim next; I had done 50 but perhaps I didn't go far enough.
Try trim in the other direction if it doesn't work in one. Sometimes you can just grab throttle a few times and it will arm, then you can tune neutral trim till it stops moving
Had the zero trim issue - Discovered throttle at 120% F/R was the issue; once set to 100% F/R and than 60 clicks of trim it engaged perfectly with zero neutral trimming required. Would still prefer the hold throttle on power up to set endpoints on future versions; but now that I've got this nailed down I can work with it. Results were shocking on my two existing revolver V1/V2's. Beyond impressed.
When the plug and play version, along side being 100% tunable comes out....you will be able to retire to the mountains, and your kids kids kids live in luxury.
nevermind that weve been making slim/ flat ESCs for crawlers longer than the drone market has been around, or that the crawlmaster hardware is 100% new engineering and not just a flashed wraith32 like other companies are selling (for higher prices than the crawlmaster, ahem).
Thank you for the continued innovation John.
Here's your winch controller , lol
I was smiling and nodding my head the whole time, like I knew what any of that technical stuff you explained meant lol :)
THANKYOU John for everything you do for this GREAT HOBBY of ours. You truly are the electronics GURU 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼🤙🏼
just had my left leg amputated above the knee so im recovering but still trying to stay up to date. Keep up the great work John.

As a HobbyWing addict I'd be more than happy with this very impressed and reminds me of the step up STM32's were from 8 bit for quad rotors.
It makes me chuckle every time you blow the rest of the rc market out of the water. Congrats.
What a shocker, sold out (kit ver.) Much like everything else. Just a thought maybe stock up probably first so us mere mortals might on the other end of the world can get a chance to try some of these cool products?
We are stocking up, but high pace sales on key products are making it difficult to keep it all "in stock" all the time

Yall work wonders john! Always upping the crawling game. Keep up the great work!
Mother of all escs. Absolutely top notch buddy!!
This seems to be like revolutionary
Got mine running the 2500 10p and its great just as smooth as a brushed but damn the power that the outrunners have is amazing.
How can u tell the motor is 10 pole or 14?
That thing is sick
Looks like a perfect setup for the crawler between the fj and the jeep by your right shoulder.
Awesome, I got two minis when first announcement. Got them on my mini rock crawlers 🤙🏻
Love the looks of it! I missed the first round of orders. Can't wait for them to come back in stock so I can order 1, 2 or 3 of them!
Another winner. I'll bet the availability of this ESC makes your Revolvers harder to find.
Congrats on the release. Thanks!
"Ghost ride the whip!"
I want one... too bad my revolver is in my trx 4 I am gonna have to wait for the rtr version.
looking forward one that will be recommended for heavier 2spd trucks.
Just ordered one! Thanks John!

Just bought one of your 2700kv trailmaster sensored brushless motors. Would this be a good match for it? It will be going into a Phoenix portal.
Thanks for the video
Very informative🤩
Dam gots to get me one for the ax10
A quand un esc programmable ? Comment peut on gérer la coupure lipo ?
Merci pour tout 👍
Any idea when the v2's will be back in stock?
How will it work on a 13T motor in a trail truck, with 7-10 hour hikes?
I have the Holmes Hobbies dual-BR mini esc for my MoA, running two puller motors. Do I need to remove the red wire from one of the connectors going into the receiver ? shame there is no connection diagram with the kit.

Slow & silent is nice.
Grats!
Nice!
Need me a couple of them there units
Waiting on the RTR as my soldering skills are level LOL
When will you restock this esc?
How about a wire diagram? The videos are great, but downloadable documents are nice
does it have onboard temperature sensor ? If not, i'm guessing that has current monitoring ? Could it potentially be programmed to limit it's own current draw and therefore automatically limit it's power and prevent itself from overheating? That would be super cool.
This thing looks awesome!
Both!
Does this mean you are going to be making a good simple way to give the SCX24 more power?

Looking at the esc I’m assuming it’s not waterproof?!?!? Will there be a waterproof model down the road if this one isn’t?
When will the BR mini dual be back in stock?
🤘🍻🤘
so i just turned my trx4 into a single speed would it be okay on 3s running a 3500kv puller pro? or would that be to much for this esc?
Too fast for this small esc. 1800 or 2200 imo

Do you have a link to the video for installation of the RTR version?
I've been thinking about doing this on my 8.5 pound trx4 with 2 speed. Is this a good idea? If not could you please recommend something instead?
Super dope. Looking forward on getting mine paired with the SS REVOLVER 🤘
Would you recommend this ESC for one of your Revolver 540 SS Team Spec motors?
I have a question I am looking for an ESC for a shafty crawler like the RC4WD Bully 2 with MOA axes, That means I need two ESC and two motors which combo would be suitable for it?
Does it always work with sensorless inrunners (1700 KV) so smooth? My 1000kv outrunner doesent work under water constantly ha ha.
would this work well on scx10v3 with the 2gear setup? i am going to be using 3s and a crawl master sport 550 12t.
When will they be back in stock
Sounds like a fantastic ESC for a Capra, im very interested in getting an outrunner for my capra which would you suggest wity this ESC?
I got the 2500kv 10p and with the capras gearing, it was getting hot and shutting down. John told me to run the 1800kv revolver, so I got a 1800kv revolver and building it now
1800 or lower
Would the CM mini RTR require a bec ?
Man this is pretty cool set up. How would you say it compares to HW 2 in 1 fusion? Thanks Mr H!!!!
It compares but is very limited
In terms of driving feels, as smooth with a 14 or 10 pole.
John ,,with the firmware update. is it possible to do 4cell now on a teamspec motor
Yessir
@@HolmesHobbies i finally got it. I shouted u out in my youtube...i can tell u this.. not all micro cables work..
Is this ESC coming back into stock or is it discontinued?
John, so my 1800kv Devolver on 3s should be fine from the looks of it on this fine piece of kit?
Yep
@@HolmesHobbies I figured as much but just checking. I didn’t want to see the magic smoke.
May I have question here?

Do you know why? I didn’t mean to pull or push the throttle but the motor was turning by default? Seems I need to adjust the trim(+50) to stop the default setting! Is that normal for the mini ESC?

Needing some neutral trim is normal. About 60 clicks on my radio

I'd use a 1800 revolver and this esc for comp use. Or a micro X and Puller Pro 2200 stubby
Or 16t magnum and br mini. For comp I still tend to use brushed.
@@HolmesHobbies thanks Jhon! Can I ask why you would use brushed for comp?
Would you say this is a better option for the scx24 than the castle sidewinder micro 2 esc on a 1400kv or 2300kv outrunner brushless motor?
Yes, I would choose it with a castle external bec
@@HolmesHobbies Awesome thanks for the quick response. I will be sure to get one along with the castle bec for my next scx24 project! Love your products!!
Do I need to wait for the software update to run this esc with the 2700kv Six shooter ? Thank you in advance
Thats alot of kv for this board as it is now
But I think u can run it on 3S without issues
No, it works well on 3s with the 6 shooter. That's what I did all 6 slot prototyping with
The only negative point with your web page is that almost everything is always sold out...makes it a bit frustrating 😠
looking for something in particular? Chip shortage has made ESCs hard to get but we have backstock of stuff and are filling the site as fast as possible .
Still no manual or information? I can't even figure out how to calibrate mine, tried everything including reversing channels and all.
There is no calibration. If it doesn't arm then change the radio to 50/50 throttle or add 60 clicks of trim
@@HolmesHobbies Thanks for the reply. Am on 50/50 throttle but still nothing. Oddly it works on channel 1 using steering wheel just fine; will try 60 clicks of trim next; I had done 50 but perhaps I didn't go far enough.

Would this be usable in the scx24?
Yes
@@HolmesHobbies would need motor change or ?
Yes, the esc isn't programmable for brushed yet.
@@HolmesHobbies motor suggestion for the scx24 to run with the mini?
Only Homes would upload this when it's out of stock. Sometimes he is too smart
Timing the shooting and editing with stocking rhythms is quite hard!
it was already sold out at this point and hasn't returned. is it even real?
I can't ever seem to find them when their in stock, lmao I want one for my sherpa, on a 2500kv 10p motor, hahahahahahahahaha
I'm in the UK and can't find a single one to buy ??
Can't find a single one in the US either lol 🙃
Yeah I was hoping that with this video there was another batch that came out, but nope. I swear I check daily.
I am waiting for the release of the bigger version.... thats gonna be the game changer ESC right there
Red winches will have them.
