  • Came across some of these Holmes crawlmaster magnum clones on AliExpress and thought I'd try them out. It runs alright, a bit warm and obviously not as smooth as even a crawlmaster pro, also has some problems with QC. However, they pack a surprising amount of torque for a standard 540 sized can. For around 40USD shipped, its not actually too bad of a deal.
    Here's where I got them:

    I have the surpass 80a esc and 550 5 slot 10 turn motor. I really like the set up especially for how cheap it is.

    I run the 11t Crawlmaster Magnum 540. I have personally not seen or used a better quality or smoother motor. The brake is insanely strong and it is extremely slow. I run 3s and it has never been hot. And yes, it is stupidly expensive (175$). But it's every bit as controllable as my 3300kv Axe system. But I still wouldn't mind trying one of those on the new build I have underway.

      Yeah I could imagine the magnum would be a dream to drive, I still can't justify the price yet, for now... XD
      I've heard good things about the AXE, especially the V2. I think that'll probably be my next purchase!

      @@CRCG_00 it's a pretty awesome combo to be sure. Easy to program to. I haven't had a single issue with mine. I got the 550 cause my rig is fairly heavy. You can't go wrong with one.

    It isn't Crawlmaster Pro copy. It is Team brood Djinn's copy. Really good copy.

      I was comparing it to a magnum. And yes, it's not just a copy of the team brood motors it's the same, just different coloured can. Team brood had been selling rebranded motors for a while.

    What esc did you change out, what was the one you put in after the 1080 and which performed better

    • @CRCG_00
      @CRCG_00  2 роки тому

      The esc that I swapped in was a Holmes BRXL. Performance wise there is no real tangible difference, infact the 1080 runs much quieter. The only reason I changed over to the Holmes is that it just offers a bit more tuning and also datalogging, I did it just out of curiosity and for experimentation purposes.

    What is your experience with this particular JX servo?
    BTW..the diameter is 28mm , not 20mm ;)

    • @CRCG_00
      @CRCG_00  2 роки тому

      Thanks, The jx servo is ok. It respectable and affordable but just not quite as strong. slow crawling is fine but anything faster like trail bashing or bouncing, I began to run into durability issues.

    What's the difference between v1 and v2 versions?

    • @calvinl3604
      @calvinl3604 2 роки тому

      The v1 had 4 magnets while the v2 only had 2. The 4 magnet set up of the V1 was a strange design decision, it made less torque and was less efficient.
