- In this video I will show you how I installed the Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion Brushless Crawling Combo 1800KV system on the Traxxas TRX-4 Crawler. This system has a FOC (Field-oriented Control) function which makes the behavior very smooth. The motor is also very quiet. With this motor top speed drops a bit compared to the standard 550 engine, but in slow driving controllability is superior.

Excellent video. This is a no nonsense very easy to follow instructional on removing and installing the Hobbywing motor. I just bought this exact motor and found this very helpful and you managed to do it without talking or any mumbo jumbo along with it. Thank you
Usually when I watch an installation video then I tend to jump over long introductory speeches straight to the point to get the information I’m looking for. I do my own installation videos in the same way.
A great help especially as you show in detail the wiring route and the set up of motor to gearbox. My motor arrived in post today and I will follow your directions exactly. Many thanks.
I did not show the use of a programming card in this video. The direction of rotation of the motor must be changed in the TRX-4. I noticed that when the programming card is plugged into the car, simply turning off the car is not enough. The programming card does not start but only lines appear on the screen. Disconnect and reconnect the battery, then turn on the power and the programming card will start working.
RC girl gives a pretty good explanation on the programs and settings but your background music much better 😊
Great work! 👍
I've have had that same motor for 7 months now and it's great!
Today I got to drive this motor for the first time. I'm impressed, there is no return to the old original engine.
Does this setup have a higher top speed than the original motor aswell?
My friend and I tested side by side with his TRX-4 with standard motor and my TRX-4 with this Hobbywing setup. The TRX-4 with the standard motor was just barely faster in 2nd gear. There was no big difference, maybe 1mph?
@@RCCrawlingFinland So which one was better at climbing?
Awesome vid my RC friend 👍
Very helpful, thank you. Subscribed! 👍✌️
Very helpful video. Thank you
Perfect! Thank you!
awesome 👍😍👍
Thank you 😊
thanks very much!
Hi there!
Thx for the video!
One question: how can I reverse the motor running cause I need to do it!
Straight to the point ! Very enjoyable to watch. I see that you use an extansion cable. Do I have to order it as well or is it offered in the standard box ? I own a Trx 4 defender. I plan to install the led kit from traxxas. Any tips ? Any specific cable I should use ? Thanks again for sharing this installation video.
The extension cable is standard in the Hobbywing Fusion kit. I connected the Traxxas light set directly to the receiver. The original Traxxas 8028 LED Lights Power Supply operates at 3 volts. Now I have clearly brighter lights than before as the receiver works at 6 volts. The lights have worked fully despite the higher voltage. At first I was a little nervous would they handle the higher voltage but no problems.
How did u wire the BEC for the steering servo or did i see that wrong?
Great Video , Clear and easy to Follow . I have had my TRX 4 Bronco now about a month now . I have replaced the Bumpers with Chrome covered ALUM Metal Bumpers , and mounted the body with Magnets. Installed a light kit last week . Have not replaced the steering servo yet , but soon. When I saw how Quiet and Controlled this Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion 1800KV motor set up is my mouth fell open ! I LIKE THAT ! On the Hobbywing North America web site they have this motor with the program card but it does not come with the TRX power Connector and the motor shaft does not have a Flat spot cut on it like the set up you got . If you can please tell me where did you get Yours ? A WEB ADRESS and a SKU # would be Great if you have it . Hope you are Well and Happy .Have a Great Time . BEN V.
I ordered mine here: hobbyfactory.fi/en/p61132/hobbywing-quicrun-fusion-brushless-crawling-combo-1800kv-30120401 I also ordered them to change the connector to a TRX type.
The motor shaft does have a flat spot for the set screw. The gear would not hold the shaft without flat side shaft.
If you doesn’t have a flat side, it’s defective for they forgot a step.
You can purchase a Traxxas to XT60 adapter on Ebay or AMainHobby.
If you cut plug, void the warranty.
Where do you plug in a light kit?
great video. 👌
do you know if this the same for the trx 6? thanks 👍
Yes, it should fit in exactly the same way. There are two versions of Quicrun Fusion, 1200kV and 1600kV.

Thanks for your answer friend I am thinking of putting the fusion or the axe 550, I am new to this and it is difficult for me to choose. What would you recommend me and why? thank you very much, excellent videos 👍
What did you do about the lighting distribution box?
I connected the futaba Y extension cable directly to the receiver box. Now the lights are getting 6v voltage which I was a little worried at first. However, the lights have worked flawlessly even though the voltage doubled and the lights became significantly brighter. The Traxxas # 8028 LED Lights Power Supply produces only three volts. I've been considering raising the voltage of the Hobbywing system to 7.2v, but is it too much for the lights? The microservos should then also be upgraded to a model that can withstand 7.2 volts.
How did you get the cruise control to work?
It works just like before with the stock Traxxas system.
At 6:49 did it come with the extension to reach the receiver box?
Yes it did
@@RCCrawlingFinland I need to go look in the box again, no wonder my cable didn't reach that well. I figured it was a spare cable for the programmer lol.
Please can you help me...when I search for the hobbywing fusion with integrated ESC it seems as there is the MALE XT60 plug attached to it. I am only using original Traxxas Lipos that have a MALE connector. How do I connect these two plugs? Or is the connector of the motor a FEMALE one? Somehow I dont get it. Please feel free to send me a link of what adapter I will need to connect the hobbywing with an XT60 connector to an original TRX Lipo.
Solder the connector Traxxas part #3070X to the ESC. I also run my TRX-4 with original Traxxas batteries.
@@RCCrawlingFinland Thank you
can those micro servers take 6v if i switch it?
The maximum operating voltage of TRX-4 standard microservers is 6 volts. If the operating voltage is increased to 7.4 volts then all three microservos should be replaced with Power HD TR-4 servos that can withstand that 7.4 volts.
i thought the stock esc put out 4.8 thats why they have the bec for the trx to make the steering servo 6v right?
Yes. With this Hobbywing Fusion setup you don’t need Traxxas BEC. The Hobbywing system is already operating at 6 volts (or you can choose also 7.4).
Is there any reason why my truck would be reversed!? Forward is reverse, reverse is forward.
Traxxas stock motor runs backwards. Change the Ch2 setup with the program card to opposite.
@RCCrawlingFinland thanks! Ended up contacting them about this and got it squared away. Super confusing at first, but makes total sense.
good video..but my instructions are gobbledegook.. literally lost.PLUG IN..DONT PLUG IN. manual says if need to connect power then unplug red wire.as ESC mite b damaged..eh.
same question, manual says separate red wire from receiver???
