- On a budget? Want some power? Well this might just be the answer for you!
The ad reads "GOOLRC" but the product doesn't... Did I get ripped off?

By the way , love the name of the channel. I definitely feel like I am a poor man with a rich man's hobby🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Haha thanks d man! This hobby will keep ya poor, that's for sure! 🤣🤣🤣
i know it's kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Kamryn Coen i would suggest flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Carmelo Josue Definitely, been watching on FlixZone for since april myself :D
@Carmelo Josue thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it !
Just stumbled on your channel got a Gool 3800kv for my t maxx e conversion hop it works. And you speak my language CHEAP RC! Lol
Cheap is good! Haha! Thanks for joining the crew! 👊
The 3660 motors have a 5mm shaft for 1/8 scale pinions. The smaller 3650 motors have a 3mm shaft for standard 1/10 pinions.
I didn't know this at the time of purchase, thanks for letting me know!
Hi mate great to see someone going there for the cheap Rc electronics. I've subscribed to your channel. Great informational 👍🦘😁😁
Thanks for coming on board, Armando! Great to have ya! 🍻
I bought 2 of these a couple years back, they worked great. Last year one of the ESCs let the magic smoke out, but for the price point I can't complain.
That's good to hear Nathan. I hear they're really hit and miss. Ours is still working, but it randomly turns off every now and then.
Lol...esc will burn without even the first run like in traxxas 😂 so never say it's abt cost
Budget RC options? Canadian pricing? This Canuck subscribed in a heartbeat!
Right on brother, welcome aboard! Glad to have ya! 🇨🇦 🍁
Admits to drinking beer and ordering crap online. You're my people, that's worth a like and subscribe!
Hahaha right on bro! Thanks for thebsub! Now go grab a brewski and make some dodgy purchases! 🤣🤣🤣
@@poorboysrc just got home from work and cracked a cold one🍺
@@takenpictures heck yeah my man! Hope you fired up the credit card online, too! 🤣👊
I've used a lot of these "GooRC" kits and I get them cheap on eBay as well but from USA sellers so I get them in about a week. I've had no issues with mine except the ESC fan is really noisy on the one in my Blizter Beetle. I'm using a 3300KV GoolRC in my Sand-Viper but it cogs really bad. I'm trying one of the blue unbranded "120a" ESC's with a black 3900KV brushless motor combo in my EVO that I got off ebay for $40. So far I like it better than the GoolRC's because I can use my programming card with this ESC and the ON/OFF switch is waterproof. I got the same programming sheet as you have in this video with this blue ESC. I tried the programming card that the sheet refers to with my 60a GoolRC and the lights just cycle through which many complain about because the cheap programming card is actually not compatible with these GoolRC ESC's. Surpass Hobby also sells these ESC/Motor combos as well. GoolRC rebrands everything. If I'm not mistaken GoolRC is the TomTop house brand but these 60a ESC/Motor combos are sold all over with or without the branding.
Good info there, thanks for sharing!
@@poorboysrc you're welcome! I deal with a lot of this Chinese stuff so I'm unfortunately all too familiar with them. Lol
I have the 3650 3900kv with 60a esc in a 2wd slash. A lot faster than the stock titan 12t. Been about 6 months and haven't had any issues. Not a bad setup for the price. It hangs with my brother's castle brushless slash all day long. And less than 1/4 the price.
That's good to hear man. I like the motor, but the esc is super dodgy.
Good to know because I'm replacing my velenion setup with this. Thanks
Great vid 👍✌️👌
Thanks pal! 🤙
Nice vid. I got a similar looking combo from Banggood for less than £40, that's about $45US. 4370kv, 60amp ESC and the program card. Works great in my 2wd Rustler. My on/off had a waterproof cover, but it says in the info, the fan on the ESC is not waterproof and should be removed before running in the wet. I can get 45mph on 2s and nearly 60 on 3s. That's on stock gearing. Not tried it on the high speed gearing...yet. 👍
Wow that's fast! Nice job! 👊
Dammm ima have to buy it
@@MyRcGoSlow it's worth the gamble! 👊
3660 is a 550 size motor 3650 is 540. That's why the shaft is 5mm. It's for 1/8th. Otherwise they work great for the price.
I USED THIS BRAND FOR YEARS NO PROBLEM.
Glad yours worked out so well! 👊
Lunchbox and the grasshopper 🤟🏻💪🏻💯
Yeah buddy!!!
I have 4 good rc combos and never had any problems
Good to hear. The motors are typically spot on, but the esc's can be hit or miss from what I hear.
Which GoolRc sensored esc/motor combo would be good for a trail crawler?. I’ve never owned brushless motors so I’m clueless.
I don't think I'd use a GoolRC product in a trail rig, their esc's lack refinement for bashers, and I just don't think I'd use one in a crawler. The Hobbywing 1080 is an awesome crawler esc, but it's only good for brushed motors. If you really want to go with sensored brushless check out the Hobbywing AXE system, it's awesome! 🤙
I literally just ordered this and received it the other day! Mine totally had a box! Lol
Hahaha too funny! What was the branding on yours? Did it say Gool RC?
@@poorboysrc I just received mine today along with a knockoff iMax B6 charger. My motor/ESC came in a GoolRC branded box, and both the can and the ESC have the GoolRC branding on them.
I'm pretty happy with it so far, unfortunately I can't give it a good run for it's money, as Amazon still hasn't shipped my new LiPo, but I managed to revive a 20+ year old NiCd pack with the charger, and my DT-02 hauls pretty good with that brick in it. Can't wait for my battery.
@@K-Anator that's wicked, dude! Happy to hear it's working well for ya!
@@poorboysrc i recieved mine with a GoolRc box... (3650 /4300kv)... Very good looks, but performance failure, esc/motor not responding sometimes 😒
@@Quad8ightMix yeah the esc seems to be junk, motors have good reviews! 👍
thanks for the review. what pinions are you using with 5mm dia shaft hole? or are you just reaming out the pinion to 5mm?
Thanks for watching, Jeff. I went with a Robinson Racing pinion gear, 5mm and Tamiya pitch. You can find them on their website. 👊
@@poorboysrc I saw your follow on video. Still on the fence about Gool. I like HW (I have one in my Mercedes G-Wagon/CC-O2) and am going to try the Spektrum Firma. Gool is cheap but then you get what you pay for. Good to see you taking one for the team...lol
@@jeffbrundt7740 haha like I always say, let me make the poor decisions so you guys don't have to! 🤣🤣🤣
Have you seen the HW Axe? That would be sweeeet it the CC02!
Did you have any luck programing the esc with a hobbywing card?
Nope, didn't work at all. Just adjust the throttle trim until it finds neutral!
Gool rc not bad for the price 👊🏻👍🏻
You betcha! They've got a decent product line with awesome pricing. 👊
🙏💪
I have this combo but mine says Goolrc on the motor and esc. Also came in a fancy Goolrc branded box with foam and allsorts.
That's interesting, looks like China is ripping off Google RC stuff and selling it as Google RC. It's all probably made in the same place anyways, lol!
@@poorboysrc Exactly, mine also has rubber cover over the switch but to be honest I have expensive, mid range and down right health hazard cheap Chinese knock off esc's that claim to be waterproof and I don't trust any of them. I have seen traxxas so called waterproof gear go up in flames on a damp day.
@@dman7516 yeah man, kind of a crap-shoot, isn't it? Lol! 🤣
what are the chances the esc could burst into flames and how reliable is it? because i plan to use it in an rc tank im making and i don't want it to explode on me.
I wouldn't be surprised if it burst into flames, it's garbage. Drop a hobbywing in there!
i am having loads of problems with a boat type shaft catching on fire when i run the boat in water...
open the boat up and it is still smoking when i take it all apart.
i have tried different type of grease and different type of shafts. high dollar one and cheat ones. all with same reaction.FIRE inside the shaft of the prop housing. each end has a great bearing (nice and tight) i put different types of grease and all --- still same ole problem....
PLEASE HELP Me...
Hey Paul, sucks to hear your boat issue... I've never owned or ran an RC boat before, so I'm not the best guy for advice on the subject. But I have seen videos of boat guys talking about using the right grease on the propeller shift to prevent over heating. Keep searching and I'm sure you'll find the answer!👊
Hey Bud, would that little setup burn out in the digger?
Hey dude, this setup would be awesome in the Digger, definitely wouldn't burn out. But I'd just be careful because it would be insanely fast! Lol!
Goolrc🔥🔥💯💯💯
I normally have really good luck with Gool RC products, but not this time...
is jrelec kingbox same as any of the cheap amazon ones? i bought one years ago but can't find any info on them, i hooked it up and calibrated throttle and the thing goes faster at 90% throttle than 100% , that is annoying .i have tried every setting in card esc to change motor timing, acceleration %. nothing!! any ideas?
It's tough to say, dude. These days, there's clones of clones for sale at the big online shops. My personal experience is that it's a total crap-shoot. Sometimes you get a good one, sometimes you get garbage. It's always a gamble with the China clone electronics.
Yah.... true that. The instructions supposedly say up to 6s. can you imagine... LOL
@@poorboysrc
The motor itself will definitely will work in a lighter RC vehicle. but on a Traxxas RC vehicle I highly doubt it. because of the weight of traxxas RC vehicles That can cause issues, like cogging, I have one of them myself, it works very well in one of my RC touring cars, because it does not have a lot of mass like the bigger and Heavier ones like the traxxas one's so cogging is virtually impossible but in a much larger RC vehicle and it's heavier than likely will cause problems like that.
Thanks for the info! 👊🏼
Can someone please tell me how to plug-in the wires into a brushless Traxxas ESC where does the cables go from the motor to the ESC plug-in I brut up two motors already I know the ESC has ABC plug-in for the motor wires
You can't really plug in brushless motor wires wrong. Worst case scenario, the motor runs backwards, then you just need to switch any two of the wires.
If you're burning up motors I'm not sure what the problem is. Perhaps you're over-geared? What size pinion are you running and what size pinion is suggested?
My esc went BANG andl et the smoke out big time! Mine had the 3mm shaft which broke off in 1 run, I got a replacement motor from them and that shaft is made of rubber, bends on 3s on a 2wd buggy! So far I have been able to easily bend it back but that won't last ever. Not worth the cost
Yeah I've heard if the esc issues but never a bent 5mm shaft! That's crazy! These things are pretty cheap, my money goes to the Spektrum Firma line now, so much better!!! 👊
Which combo would you suggest for a element gatekeeper. 👍video
I suppose it would depend on what I was doing with it. Are you planning a crawler type truck, or more of a rock racer?
@@poorboysrc ummm,,,,we’ll I’d like to be able to do some crawling,,,,with some wheel speed to do a little running through some loose dirt
@@johnjones2194 I'm a budget guy, so I'd go with a Holmes Hobbies 27T 550 brushed motor on 3S. That way you've got the best of all worlds, speed, crawlability (is that a word???) and good control. From there you can fine tune your setup. I'd use a Hobbywing 1080 esc, they're inexpensive, very adjustable and inexpensive. 👊
I got the same motor and esc. It works fine but there came a deley on the servo. Whats the problem?
Maybe try another servo?
Same result
@@papi6312 perhaps a setting on your radio?
I have 1 coming in from Amazon and iv read alot of comments and there all bad what is your take on it
Did you have to program the esc
ESC is garbage, motor is decent. You'll have to play around with your throttle trim to get the esc to self calibrate.
@@poorboysrc ok thanks
@@nickwilliams6869 cheers! 🍻
How fast does this make your rc go
Probably 35 - 40 mph on 2S.
Adjust throttle trim to stop the beeping
Done and done! 👊
Do you know if that is Sensored or Sensorless motor thanks
Sensorless. 👊
i got the 3000kv for my rc snowmobile project, hope it’s ok😂
Might just have to play with the throttle trim to get the esc to calibrate properly. 🤙
Have queenhobby 3900 kv 3640 with 120a esc aannnd have big cogging problem…
I've heard that from other viewers before, too. 😭
@@poorboysrc what can i do right now? giving back and taking a sensored brussless or ??
@BurakSerdar any motor/esc combo I get that cogs really bad, I just put it in a higher speed basher. That way the cogging isn't much of an issue. If you need more low speed control, definitely go sensored, or with a brushed motor. 👊🏼
I got the same one and it came in a box and wrapped the motor
Right on!
I got the same exact system and it started caulking and then it smoked so it’s kind of like a 50-50 chance I bought two of them on accident so I have one of the esc working and to brushless motors LOL should last me I would recommend getting a hobby wing ESC and getting a goolrc motor
Yeah they definitely seem to be hit and miss in terms of quality.
@@poorboysrc but man those motors are good!
@@christiansrcs7789 they are, eh? Good! I'm installing it on the wife's Boomerang! Hahaha
@@poorboysrc 😂 go for it it would be funny if you put in the goolrc esc in it and it smoked and she was like ahhhhh 😨
@@christiansrcs7789 reaction video, coming up!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Where is the jumper on the esc to switch to lipo?
No jumper on this esc, it's brushless/lipo ready. 👊
@@poorboysrc Thx bro.... I installed it and all I get is beeping and red light flashing lol I feel like throwing this thing across the room
@@SCOOTCARR yeah it's a royal pain in the ass! You have to turn it off/on and use your throttle trim to help it find neutral.
@@poorboysrc Bro I did the throttle trim and it connected instantly! Thanks so much and my wife thanks you for saving a potential rc car hurling through the living room👍🏿👍🏿
@@SCOOTCARR hahaha right on man, glad you got it sorted (and I saved a marriage!) LOL! 🤣👊
Sync rect. = timing
Bought one of those budget water proof esc/motor combos for the Blitzer Beetle. It says water proof, but then you got me thinking about the on off switch hmmmm...
Yeah that switch doesn't fill me with waterproof confidence, lol! How has it worked for you otherwise?
@@poorboysrc haven't given the motor a good workout only ran it on the driveway for 10 minutes, didn't want to get the Beetle dirty lol
I do like the Mountain oil filled shocks you reviewed though. So far no leaks they are great shocks, for the price and looks great on my Clodbusters.👍👍
@@JeepsCafe those shocks would look deadly on a Clod!
@@poorboysrc they do look awesome, wish I could show you would like it lol
@@poorboysrc lowered the Clod body by 1/2 inch and it looks much nicer
8:49 dollars US😂 thanks for the info tho
Hahaha, any time! 👊
Speak about ok, but i want to see this combo in action!
Watch this vid, motor/esc installed!
czcams.com/video/nhA2MuV4yV0/video.html
These are not waterproof! They are decently dustproof and water resistant though! These run decent on lighter 1/10 on 2s lipo not overgeared.. Stay away from 3s lipo.
Thanks for the tip, my friend! Did yours fry from getting wet?
@@poorboysrc No i havent put them through water. I have a couple friends that Did burn them up going through heavy puddles of water and snow though.. Also had a friend that overgeared it and pulled way over the 60 amp rating and burned one up.. He probally pulled more then 90 amps though.
On a good note though.. I havent burned one of these up in a any of my 1/10 buggy 2wd or 1/10 4wd belt drivin touring cars yet..
Conservative gearing though, and i dont let the esc get past 150° degrees heat wise. Usually like my stuff running no hotter then 145° or more.. Im super conservative when it comes to the more budget oriented electronics.
@@rcaddictgarage 90 amps will do it! Haha! Thanks for the heads up! 🤙
@@rcaddictgarage I did the same thing with one set while my other set still runs smooth and cool. Sometimes it's a hit and miss with the performance.
I am 02 with goolrc don't want to try again
*0 for 2 sorry
The esc's really seem to be hit or miss. 🤔
Mine caught on fire.
Woah, that sucks! Hopefully it didn't burn a kit down with it. 👊
@@poorboysrc No it didn't, but I learned my lesson!
@@whoopdattrick23 good stuff, lesson learned dude! 🤙
Why did that happen, what battery did u use?
@@anthonyfakhoury7427 I believe it was a 2s Zeee battery
It's the fake gool rc..Sounds weird I know lol..But it's a knock off of a knock off..I did a vid on it a few years ago
Knockoffs of knockoffs make great YT Content! 🤣
do not run that on 3s with this kv or it wil burn
Yeah it's pretty dodgy on 2S. I'll keep the 3S for the quality, name brand gear I run. 👊
I regret ordering this thing! My kids rc will run for about 30 seconds and just stop and start again 30 seconds later. These things are junk!
That's brutal! Sorry to hear! So many viewers have had good luck, mine is hit and miss now, just like yours. I'll never buy it again either.
@@poorboysrc I’m guessing it’s the esc? I should try a hobbying esc and see if it’ll sort itself out.
@@ajgreen868 yeah the esc seems to be the weak point with this setup. Lots of positive reviews on the motors, just keep the exposed bearings lubed, they're made of cheap metal and I found mine to rust pretty easy. 👊
@@poorboysrc will do man! Thanks for the tip!!
@@ajgreen868 any time bro, thanks for watching and commenting! 👊
It sucks
Yeah the esc is a real let down. I find the motor is decent though.
@@poorboysrc I havent had any trouble out of the esc it has impressed me but I'm sure they all differ, I put in a rocket motor 4390 kv
@@jameswisecarver my esc just kinda quits working at random times, I've double checked all the connections, just seems to cut out and back in whenever it wants to. 🤷♂️
@@poorboysrc well that's no good I'd swap it out too. When I do I'll go to a hobby wing esc
@@jameswisecarver can't go wrong with HW! 👊
Is there a follow up?
No, I never did get around to doing one. Lots of good comments though, seems buyers have had a mixed bag of experiences with the esc. Overall, it's worth the gamble on it, it seems. 👍🏻
