    Use your double-sided tape on the mounting plate, then mount the esc to that.

    • @MarkSantaMaria
      @MarkSantaMaria  Před 5 měsíci

      Thought about that but the mounting plate is also on flat on the bottom and it wont fit in the spot for the trx4

  • @elijschkel4902
    @elijschkel4902 Před 5 měsíci

    I actually thought of doing this when my trx-4's esc went out but didn't do it because when I wanted to do it, Traxxas did not release it at the time. Now seeing this video I might just do it. It seems like a really good idea. It seems like a good idea because you don't have to worry about the brushed motor locking up.

  • @rezracer6986
    @rezracer6986 Před 5 měsíci +2

    It’d be a good way to turn a trx4 into a rock racer, reminding me of that old 4x4 Evolution game back on the ps2

  • @haywirerc
    @haywirerc Před 5 měsíci

    I swapped my trx 4 with the brushed motors you’d find in the slashes. It went a lot faster but only lasts a half hour and motor is cooked! Brushless is the way to go.

  • @rafavelazquez9515

  • @scottfirman
    @scottfirman Před 5 měsíci

    I did that to a Summit. I purchased it for my son- in - Law used. I changed the brushed over to brushless. I didn't use a Traxas motor and ESC for the same reason, reverse motor. It runs well. I did have to replace the rear transmission because it blew out. I found it full of sand from the previous owner. I will not be changing my TRX4 Bronco to brushless simply because it is a crawler and that is all I use it for.

  • @anything-goes6941
    @anything-goes6941 Před 5 měsíci

    I have a castle copperhead 10 setup with the castle 3200kv motor in my trx4 high trail. It’s fast but also a sensored setup so I can go extremely slow. Plus I can plug it in and change settings anytime I feel I need to right from my phone. I really can’t complain about it at all, it’s a great setup for crawling.

    • @bazis98
      @bazis98 Před 5 měsíci +1

      2S gets you longer run time not 3S, with Traxxas batteries at least. 2S have higher capacity than any of the 3S batteries.

  • @rickrussell
    @rickrussell Před 5 měsíci

    I run a Castle that can do 4S @ 2280kV sensored... it'll flip the truck from a standstill. It's fun to hoon around on dirt with the scale looks. But I usually run it on 3S because 4S is just ridiculous.

    @falcondragonslayer Před 3 měsíci

    He doesn’t mention the fact that, while it does have plenty of torque in the low-range, it isn’t going to have as much low-range control as a sensored brushless system, or even the stock brushed system.

  • @1dirtovalracer
    @1dirtovalracer Před 5 měsíci +1

    Hey Mark. Good video but I'm not sure about the way you calibrated That speed control. if actually it's getting full throttle or not. If i'm not mistaken reverse speed as a little slower than full speed. I'm just not sure the way you Calibrated the radio by pushing reverse instead of forward and forward instead of reversed if that actually truly gave you full power.

    Kinda pointless if it's not faster and with no drag brake it'll be a worse crawler. Pretty much paying to make it a worse vehicle.
