This is the future of RC electronics! I recently installed the Spektrum Firma 60A Brushless Smart ESC and 2100Kv Sensored Motor Crawler Combo in my SCX10 II Jeep Cherokee XJ and a few things make this a really great option for an RC crawler. First, it's a "smart" ESC which provides real-time data (telemetry) to your transmitter, including battery voltage, motor RPM, and temp. The motor is also sensored - so it knows exactly which position its in upon startup, so you'll get super smooth, slow low-end control as well as power/punch when you need it. My favorite feature - you can program it directly from your transmitter and change things like drag brake, BEC voltage and more without the need of a programming card or computer. AND it's waterproof. 👌🏼

Hard to believe how sofisticated RC crawlers have gotten. Next they will drive themselves with surround cameras and computers processing line progression, tire traction, run angles, etc. Meanwhile, congrats on your channel's success. Your hard work and ever smiling face have made you a CZcams favorite.
Would love a slow speed comparison to the HobbyWing 2-in-1 FOC combo motor you had in TRX-4 to this motor.
Where did you get those lights
@@jamesfarnsworth456 MyTrickRc DG-1. She has full build series with install
@@hondafreak8613 ok
Yes that would be amazing I’m very stuck in what motor and ex’s to run
It's made by horizon hobbies just like the axe system. They're likely identical
I appreciate you posting very awesome video. I've actually been told about that set up for a while, but your video helped explain it a lot better before I buy it now.
A true RCer is never done upgrading plain & simple. Had a blast at Pro Line by the Fire today. I was thinking maybe you would be there. Spend the day crawling with tons of others having a blast. In particular I saw a few Rc girls there & a Dad & his daughter crawling together. Such a great family hobby. It was awesome!
That's cool. I change all my ESC settings from my smart phone. My Castle Mamba X got that Bluetooth.
I love your enthusiasm for the RC hobby...great work!
Thank you RCG 4 the well developed content. The rig is absolutely rigorous.
Your rig is beautiful, watching it crawl at 13:00 is a real pleasure. Thank you for all the info and tips, I'm always learning more.
Thanks!!
Wow I'm always making weathered models and take pictures with back drop look real but your video of your Jeep driving up to gas pump was jaw dropping you do great work all way around awesome love it
I'm having withdrawals. It's been 2 weeks since you posted a video! My son and I very much enjoy your videos. We are learning quite a bit from you so thank you
Aw shucks! New vid in the works.
Great video and combo 👍😊spectrum is nice, thanks for sharing
Nice! Getting into 3D printing is AWESOME! Lots of my custom models have self-made 3D printed parts. And I learned most of my 3D printing "skills" on my own just reading and watching videos too. One of my main custom rigs chassis is about 90% 3D printed.
That new "smart" tech is awesome. Glad they finally came out with something advanced such as this. Bunch of new capabilities. Very cool.
Great video! I was on the fence between a Spektrum or Hobbywing motor/esc upgrade for my axial iii. I ended up going with the HW Axe setup, currently installing it now. Super stoked at all the bells and whistles this new system is promising!
The resources and tech that are becoming more and more available to the crawling community sure is making for a great time to be in the sport 😎
The blue tooth app with the hobby wings easier to navigate vs the controller screens.
great video .. helped me greatly
Your truck looks really great!
Think I'll be getting this combo for an SCX10 Pro XJ build I want to do. Love the thought of smoother operation than I'm getting with my SCX10 III JLU, which already does great.
Nice upgrade 💪🏾💯
Amazing 🤩 I like your tipps and tricks videos so much. You have Inspiration me to take a Upgrade for my rigs too 🚙🤗
I use the aux wire feature on the mamba X to set drag brake from the remote.
Just discovered your channel...so rad!
I have one in my axial 10/3 Rubicon I have add it for 3 months
And really think it is really Great
O yeah going to have to give Santa 🎅 my Christmas list. Soon
Very Cool! :) Also, I must've missed it, but congrats on 70k subscribers!
Thanks!!
I just bought two lipo batteries from them and a charger. They work allright for me that will be the next upgrade.
cool job! big like! 👍👍👍
The spectrum program is much the same as the hobbywing FOC as they both are made by hobbywing. John Holmes (Holmes hobbies) a discription of the functions and crawler settings for the 1080 esc
👍👋👋👋👋👋 + much more expensive.
@@old-rcplane-phart not that much more but yeah why bother with spektrum when it's just over priced hobbywing.
Nice video :)
The Firma crawler system is made by Hobbywing and very similar to the Axe system. I understand Horizon is big on their integrated tech/Smart, but one thing the real Axe does that the Spektrum Firma doesn’t is that the Axe uses Bluetooth to their app on your smartphone which I prefer over the beep beep transmitter programming. The other thing is that the real Axe is now 80amp but the Firma is only 60amp like the previous generation Axe. I don’t know if that means the Firma uses the previous generation ESC architecture but I’d say that’s a good guess. For folks who like the Spektrum environment then it’s probably a good deal
I used to own a real jeep white and black same winch and roof rack. Just brings back memories seeing your rc. I want to do mine like that. I own tamiya bruiser from the 80s and the clone and a gmade and a redcat. And a redact twisty one. I play on making the tj jeep I have the bodies. I own a tj I'm mimicking. But need the Cherokee.
Hello from France 🇲🇫
I love the style you give to your videos and the simpliest way to understand for beginners is to saw you drive. Even if you are 35years RC enthousiast in a life, you could appreciate this way of RC.
To give my 2 cents to this specific vid, I just say that RC ESC finally climb to the best aircraft telemetry. It's just a bit sad that,except the 5 channel traxxas TQI, none of the affordable constructors, made a simpliest telemetry able transmitter with 5 or more channel.
We now have scale details, winch light etc.... And of we want it we have to deal with 90's blinker that been up at every turn... None use the great pistenking pads I use on my mz32, so simple and efficient. We also use separate remote for a simple winch.
Well, all the brushless sebsored exploitation is great, all the télémétry you shown is cool, but when could E bought a 200 - 350 USD transmitter with 6channel, 3 proportional and 3 indexable on switch, and télémétry able ? It's a big loss I think for the RC funtastic pleasure.
No matter with your vids I know, but you mentioned the future of RC.... I give you this thought.
Stay at top!
Cheers from France 🇲🇫

why are you not using the other original transmission from the scx ii kit?
Witch system do you like better hobby wing or spectrum I have a traxxas trx4 sport
Will this work on a trx4 trx6? What are your thoughts using on traxxas?
Hi RCG I hope your well , just a question I fitted the fusion to my trx-4 Defender now I was going the buy another fusion for a Gmade bom I’m working on but I do like the look of this one so what system do you like the best , stay safe rcg .
Awesome RC Girl I'm watching now and enjoying your video too AWESOME 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎🚗😊😄👌❤️ awesome video too
Nicely done young lady. 👍
Hey there! I'm pretty new to RC I have an axial scx10ii cherokee. I recently purchased a hard body for it and got it all painted and put together. However, it doesn't have holes to mount the body, it has bunny ear looking brackets that I assume bolt to the bumper brackets? Should I just drill holes? Or get magnet mounts? What's the best way to mount a hard body?
Nice Car🤩🎉💪🏼
Cool 👍 What happened to your Draco ? Did Magic Mike auger it in again 🙃
What are the diff covers on your ar44?
You videos are fun
I just asked a question about your hobby wing how much you liked it. But I use spectrum in the rest of my rigs. So same questions of why do you like that’s enough if it died today would you buy another one? Thank you
I’ll take my smooth low speed control of my Holmes hobbies👍
The axe R2 FOC 3300kv 550 system is boss. Wonder how this compares
*Thank you for sharing a good video with a nice car!~~~^_^*
What 3d printer do you have?
do you feel that this combo allows your RC to go places that it couldn't go before?
Are you using the sr515 Rx and getting telemetry? Everything I read online says you need an sr6 series RX. Can you update the Sr315 and 515 to use telemetry?
I already have a sr315 so it would be nice if I could just do the firmware updates and only buy the dx5 instead of having to buy a Tx Rx combo
Nice video 👍that 3rd wire in the center of the battery connector is strictly a sensor wire not a balance wire tho 👊
it is a fusion branded spektrum and nothing more because the same does not produce motors or regulators but only radios (even the servos are not his but are made by hitec)
Yeah!!!
Hey rc girl hope you are well are you gonna do an scx6 video soon?
im saving up to make a rig like this but in orange. what inner fenders do you have on it if you dont mind me asking.
They are from GRC. fit perfectly! amzn.to/3lTjZBM
DAM now I have to upgrade to a 5 im still running a DX3S
Hmm, weird that it requires holding the steering endpoints at 100% each side, especially when the servos on most (if not all) vehicles usually have to be reduced from 100% travel so as not to put unneeded stress on the servo/linkages, as you noted. Perhaps a firmware update to just look for holds at the programmed EPA (or "Travel", as Spektrum calls it) locations is in order, so that you don't have to change Travel settings (and disconnect your steering) EVERY time you want to adjust them. 🤔
BTW, that staircase/bridge feature is awesome!
I wonder if my trx4 would protest if I put this motor combo in it lmao
😍😍
Interesting video/technology. Flip flop season has ended I'm afraid.
Id rather have a hobby wing axe or 1080
& programmable with the hobbywing program box. (Cause its an expensive hobbywing copy, with telemetry), unfortunately.
❤️
It's very nice don't get me wrong but carrying my program card for my 1080 in my backpack is a breeze oh also its where I keep my extra 200 dollars lol 🙂
I’m new Subscriber here
Welcome! 👋
This brushless system unfortunately is still way too expensive as it's half the price of a decent brand complete crawler kit/rtr...
😁😁👍👍
😉👍🍿📺💯
Oh look... a rebranded Hobbywing Axe R2 system.
Great upgrade. And great video like always. I have a small CZcams channel check it out if you don't mind I could use your support.
Whats so special with this combo, to call it "the future.."?
Love RC girl, her collection is awesome!
I want to marry her...💗
you are one stunning women :-) any chance youd date a guy off youtube lol? cant blame me for askin
And don't forget to go and vote your corrupt politicians out of California please, go rc.
Will this work on a trx4 trx6? What are your thoughts using on traxxas?
It would work well on the trx4, it would also work on the trx6 but a 550 can motor would probably better because of the extra weight of the trx6. The spectrum system is a 540 motor with different kv motors options with the same esc. Guess it depends on what you were looking to do with it.
