SCX24 Brushless Motor and ESC install! How to mount the surpass motor
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 02. 2021
- So I’ve had a ton of people asking me to do an install video of the surpass motor and 2fmrc gamy Rc motor mount from shapeways so here it is! It’s not the greatest install video but hopefully it’ll answer some questions and show just how easy this install really is. Let me know if you need any help with anything!
You will need a couple 3mm x 12mm screws to mount the motor.

Love the dedication! You’re who I turn to for my scx24 content.
Really appreciate that!
Always love watching and seeing new content up close! Thanks for your helpful tips and mods for the scx24/RC community!!
Matt, thank you for the upload. Without a doubt, you are THE scx24 MASTER. Your videos, though not as SMOOTH as a few I will not mention, impart more knowledge than hair product highlights. Brilliant!
I got into 1/24th scale with the hope that at least here it isn't as much to mod like in the bigger scales...man was I wrong!
Great job mate, appreciate the effort to do that on camera.
Haha! When I got my first 1/24 I figured the same. Now I work on something with the 1/24s daily 😆
Love the tutorial. You'll need to drill a hole for the pinion to come out on the 2FM RC mount aswell.
Hey man I think your install video is great. You are my first authority for scx24 knowledge. Keep up the good work sir.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate that 🙏
When motor swapping, I like too drop and remove the skid plate with trans attached...it seemed to make the driveshaft phasing process simpler. Loving the content, keep it up bud 👍
Hey man I absolutely love 3s!! Got a little 300 mah 3s and tried it last night. Gave me the extra wheel speed I was looking for🤘
Sweet!! I run it here and there and it does make a huge difference.
I agree 100 percent, aligning the driveshafts is the most aggravating thing to do to these little trucks. I'm thinking about goin brushless on mine, or, maybe a 370 can brushed (pretty sure gamyrc has a mount for that). I like the performance of an outrunner but the sound is a deal breaker. Holmes hobbies has some new stuff that is super quiet, like nearly silent, that I may try out. Y'all have a badass day 🤘
Yeah I wish Holmes would hurry up and release some stuff! They keep saying a couple months out. Been hearing that for 6-8 months now 😂
Love the vid, this is all stuff I plan to do in the coming weeks. Great info 👍
Well got the furitek and running it with a barrage motor still waiting on a pinion gear but wow unbelievable way better than stock and quiet. 👍👍
Nice! Glad you like it!
Awesome videos man. Your like the scx24 mod guy for us normal everyday people 👍 keep it up dude!!
Really appreciate it! Gonna try!
Hi thanks for your dedication in the small crawlers, you need made the same thing in the fms..
Appreciate the little tip keep the shaft in phase. I would have not noticed that detail.
Very nice video. I'll do this when my barrage motor burns out. Thanks!
I'm probably wasting money on the Hobbywing on acct of it not being quite slow enough but something to do while I wait for the Castle I guess. Thanx again Matt for the excellent tutorials 😉
Yeah once the castle is available I’ll probably swap them out myself but until then it’ll do. Especially for $25 lol
@@2fmrc For sure
Just ordered everything. Now to get a good transmitter.
Great video Matt, this will be quite useful
Thanks. Glad to hear!
They are knowledgeable and they save parts for me. That's were i have bought all my RCS . Yep it's four hours one way. Last trip thanks again i just click on the websites you post and leave the driving to someone else 🤣
Haha! I don’t blame you at all on that!
Awesome video my rc friend 😀🤜
Fine install video.
Appreciate you.
Thanks! Really appreciate it!
I think it would be great to see you drive the car post installation!
Thank you! This is just in time delivery. This is the next step in my build, so I don't have to figure it out myself how to do it 😁. I was lucky and got a sidewinder micro esc. Can u tell me what values u programmed. Drag brake etc...
Nice job, I hope to get try this sometime soon, just need to pay some bills. 😆
I know how that goes!
Hey To avoid cramping all the electronics if u have the Scx24 Jeep or C10 get the fenders from RC4WD and place the esc on one side and the receiver on the other Because that’s what I’m doing
Great video man!
Thanks!
Great video! It's hard to find all the parts! The spur isn't anywhere. I guess I order parts, and wait for others to get in stock. Your channel is great! Keep up the great work!
Yeah the spur and pinion are both hard to find atm. Really appreciate it!
Step #1, remove body. Thanks for using the Show More to link parts. Most guys can't be bothered!!
I try! Sometimes it’s a real pain with these things because nothing is available lol
Nice Work,
Remember I'm So new I haven't even got my charger for battery, by the way I hear there mailing my a charger Plus a extra battery, ok,Q&A
What's better Brushless Or The Kit I believe it was you that gave it a steady paces
I would say Brushless simply because I believe Brushless changed the Hobby world in basic everything faster ,stronger ,on and on it was for some odd reason almost refreshing see brushed power plants in the Little Tons of Fun, Man you got to help me with the pals Makeing fun of the new truck that goes soooo slow,A Drunk wouldn't get it anyway but I get hell,There has to be some slick,smooth, cool line to spit back at people clowning Crawling Double that 24th scale, they read my comments I do find my self thinking are these people my friends or I don't no kinda creepy, but got to go somewhere else sometimes that's when it hits , It maybe Seem like most always say your to old, Its my life ,go light your little rock! Jokeing about that but what do you say and I didn't start this comment to end it on this but That me Thanks
Don't sell yourself short man, was a good video and didn't have annoying music over the top. Keep it up
Thanks for the installation instruction here! I'm going to attempt this in my deadbolt soon(when the parts all come in) just a couple questions if you have the time. 1st the screws needed to mount the surpass, do they come with the motor or will I have to pick those up somewhere, if the later, where do you suggest finding them? 2nd can I use the stock transmitter with the furitek esc? Thanks again for all you're videos. Never a disappointment getting the notification about one of your new vids👍👍
Yeah so you will need the m3x12mm screws. I usually just find some on eBay. I like the flat head style so there are no clearance issues (I’ll link below, just select m3x12mm) and you can use the stock transmitter with the Furitek. You’ll just plug the Furitek plug into the channel 2 port on the stock esc. Hope this helps! I covered the install for the Furitek in a couple other vids if you run into anything on it. Really appreciate you watching and let me know if you need anything else!

@@2fmrc sweet!! This helps a lot, this will be my 1st attempt at going brushless. Going to go back and watch a few of your other videos before I actually dig into it though. Thanks again Matt!
🖐️🤠 greetings 2FM RC
Another brilliant share 👍
Thank you 🤝 from 🇬🇧
We have to cry & laugh 😂 because this video became available a week too late for us personally.
When we did our brushless install
the re-aligning of the drive shafts, like you said, kept falling apart as we lifted the frame to either make adjustments or to bolt things down. 🙃
We came up with a method to avoid this in future, but as you, we too had to experiment & figuring things out, eventually developing a simple method in 'how to do' process. 🤔
Lastly.......
we did not use any of the same components you used, as they are not easy to acquire over here;
and they take too long to aquire and cost much much more in the end; door-to-door. OUCH! 😭
In fact....... we're still waiting on some pieces.
✈️🚛 🥾📭 👀
In a nutshell, we went with an AEO micro outrunner that Gamyrc used with his micro motor plate on Shapeways. Downside the ESC that comes with the outrunner is ok, but programed for planes.
We are waiting for an EzRun 18A ESC & program card. We'll probably stay with the stock SCX24 AE-6 and it's SCX24 Transmitter.
Components are so hard to come by here 🇬🇧 at the moment that we hope to have opportunity to have it finally running this week, but IF NOT.......
THEN not till end of March21 😞
Thank you again 2FM RC for this superb video share! Your time & experimenting is well received and Very much appreciated 👍
Keep ROCKIN ON!
The 👥 🌎🌍🌏 is 👀 YOU!
🤓
Cheers mate!
🇬🇧
Wow! People are complaining that things are hard to come by here as well. Nowhere near as bad as you have it though. That’s the main reason I’ve been branching out trying to find alternatives for use here because we can’t get the things we always did before. Whatever makes them run I guess. Hope it all works out for ya! I keep thinking parts will pick back up but they just keep getting harder to find lol
That was an awsome video thanks
Thank you!
Awesome vid man, been following for a while. I just got the Surpass motor mounted to my Gamy mount. I just need to source a pinion. Will the brass one in the link mesh up with the stock spur gear, or should I look for something different? Thanks again, lots of great info, much appreciated!
I have three white Jeeps we are like nascar everything the same lol. My wife and my daughter can't say well if we had that we could climb that also 😂 . I try stuff out then order two more if i like it so thanks again for all your help on getting the right stuff 👍👍
That’s awesome! I kinda do the same for my sons trucks. If it works for me then he gets it also 😂
I just want it to be fair 😊 I'm driving 8 hours this weekend to get rc parts. This is my last trip thanks to you and your parts list. Lincoln NEBRASKA is where i have to go at least I get to see memorial stadium go big red 👍
@@mikemangiameli561 dang! I’m debating whether I wanna drive 4 hours to go to axialfest lol
I live ten miles from the geographic cent of the USA we saw Bruce Springsteen when he filmed his commercial for the super bowl
Love the videos, there's no availability for the scx24's here in NB.
Matt,
Can you do a video on installing surpass motor and the new mounting bracket? I have all my stuff just not sure how it goes together... I also got the Furick
Sometimes these lead can be popped out of the contact, with a small screwdriber, then just change the wires instead of solering
Hey Matt! Great video. Can you run the surpass/esc on a stock transmitter/receiver? Trying to see how much money I want to dump into this. I just play with these on the side. I upgraded my stock motor, to a barrage but I don’t like how loud it is. I’m thinking brushless is the way I want to go. Thanks in advance for your time.
Thank you for your content. Ordered the Surpass motor mount and will be pairing it with the Furitek Lizard (thanks for discount). Will the Surpass motor and motor mount fit in the HR Rock Racer Conversion?
It’s very very tight but someone sent me pics with it in there! Haven’t built one myself but it seemed to work lol
Nice
Will the new mount work on the revolver motor? What pinion are you using on the surpass motor? Thx Rock On🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thank you for the great video! I’m building this now and realized I don’t have the receiver, which one did you use?
Thanks so much!
I’m running the flysky gt5 transmitter and receiver in mine.

Do you have to turn the skid around in order to turn everything around or will it all bolt down with the skid the way it comes stock?
Matt, Finally got the motor in, where it would work. But now it wants to run by itself even after calibrating it with the app. I’ve change the wires around several different times still does the same thing. Have any ideal why it is doing that?
Which is better the lizard or the hobby wing? I originally ordered the hobby wing but also ordered the lizard. Might as well use the hobby wing somewhere.
Definitely the lizard but you can make the hobbywing work.
I am literally doing this right now. But with the holmes hobbies.
Nice! That’s what I had on this mount at first.
@@2fmrc I messed up and didn't know I needed a pinion gear and a spur gear I didn't get either one and their almost impossible to find. Fml
@@alexchapman5872 there should still be the spur on shapeways. Did you try it? Here’s the pinion I’m using on one of mine

anyone know what the best pinion and spur tooth count would be for a crawler ?
(i dont need much speed since im building a crawler)
some of the links in the description are dead and i stuck guessing
I need a every terrain waterproof solution...does the system offer this feature?
Awesome video, I just oder everything I needed for two trucks. I just need to know if the pinion hole size is 3mm? And if you can connect that esc to the stock receiver?
It is a 3mm bore pinion. There have been people connect a different motor and esc to the stock receiver but I’ve never tried it. I run the flysky gt5 in a lot of mine.
@@2fmrc awesome, thanks for the information
I put a surpass motor in the deadbolt and in reverse to me the drive shaft is hitting or my remote is acting up it reverse ok most times goes forward great I move the motor by hand it feels smooth as butter I'm a new be can you pros help ?
i need that body!
How do I get that body?
Hey bud, I really enjoy your videos, I was wondering how you have your camera set up right in front of your hands? Your shots are so clean on your videos because of the camera placement and I’ve tried a few things myself but the camera in your videos looks like it’s mounted to your chest but it doesn’t shake or anything? Love the vids! I’m hoping that my channel will look as nice as yours some day 👍🏻😄
I've wondered about the setup myself & also what kind of camera used
@@jaymccumber8928 yeah if I set up my camera the way he does then it’s just in my way and I can’t work on anything lol
Hey! Sorry I just seen this. I just have the camera mounted on a tripod in front of me. Basically the mic sits almost at my chin level. I have long arms and I’m able to just sort of reach around it all. The camera is a dji osmo pocket actually. I bought it for smooth outdoor shots (it has a gimbal) but I ended up mostly just using it indoors because the screen is so small you can’t really see what you’re shooting outdoors lol
@@2fmrc awesome, thank you for explaining your set up! It makes your videos look great 😄👍🏻
@@UpperLeftRC no prob. Wish I would’ve seen the comment sooner. I didn’t get a notification. I’ve been going back through some videos looking for comments I may have missed because CZcams don’t notify me a lot of the time anymore. Really sorry
good video ... a question what are the shock absorbers you have? thanks ..like
The ones on the Jeep or silver rig? Jeep has the aluminum hobbyplus cr24 shocks and the other one has the aluminum oil filled carismas.
I cant find a the spur gear anywhere. Shapeways doesn't carry it
I noticed that also, I would check with your local hobby shops.
Shapeways removed theirs because they were having trouble printing it and people were getting them and they were complete useless. The hot racing is really the only option we have now.
I'm new to all this RC stuff, in fact, I haven't bought my first RC crawler yet but was thinking about getting an SCX24 and have seen a lot of upgrades I would l like to do to it when I get one, motor upgrade was one. When I do the motor upgrade do I also need to buy the programmer as well? I know it's probably a dumb question to ask.
It depends on what esc you run with the motor really. It is what is programmable and will need tuned. Check out my last couple videos on the Furitek esc. I would go that route if upgrading. Then you just need to use the app on your phone to tune the esc!
what battery should i run when i get mine done?
Hi. Thank you for the video! I ordered most of needed parts. But regarding the spur gear I want to ask if it's really needed or the stock one will works also? Thank you
The stock one won’t work with the pinion that fits this motor. The shaft is larger on this motor and the stock setup won’t work. I haven’t found a pinion that fits the larger shaft of this motor and will work with the stock spur. So you kinda need the spur and pinion to make it work. Hope that helps!
@@2fmrc thank you for fast feedback!This is information I was looking for.
@@j1rka. anytime!
Wondering, 3M by 12 screws the same as the 3 mm x 12 screws for the motor to mount screws?
M3 should be 3mm
for the second pinion option you provided from ebay should I select the 2mm or 3mm option? thank you
i think it is the 3mm (but not positive)
I can’t find the pinion gears you listed anywhere! Any ideas what I could use? Got the lizard and the Surpass on its way!
48p 12t on Amazon
What kind of receiver is that? Did the programming card come with it?
I’m running the flysky gt5 so it’s the receiver to it. The program card don’t come with it. It does come with directions on programming with just the esc but a card is easier. The one I used isn’t actually for this esc but works if you follow along with the directions included.
Do u need the .5 spur to work with the surpass motor? I have the brushless esc, motor, and motor plate. Juat don't have the spur gear
Yes you’ll need the mod 5 because the pinion used with the surpass fits the mod 5. I wouldn’t use the one from shapeways. A few people have said it’s junk
Great video, just as you're other video's. It made me buy a SCX24, and after two weeks another one for my daughter. and a lot of upgrades. Just burnt out my first stock engine and now i am trying to find al the pieces I need for the brushless setup,
LOL.
I have found everything, although in Europe not everything is available.
I could not find the spur gear. The Hot racing one seems to be sold out, everywhere and i can not find a link to the shapeway spur gear, can anyone help me finding the correct one? I dont really know what to look for while i am new to the hobby, and i can't find the dimensions or specs of the spur gear.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Well the hot racing spur is really the only option now. They removed the one from shapeways because the quality was so bad people were having issues with it. It wasn’t even usable. The hot racing one is getting hard to find. I’m going to mention to Treal that they should make one. We need someone else making these!
@@2fmrc Thanks for the update
What mount do you use for the savoy servo?
Where do i get pinion gear for the 3mm shaft ?
Hi I love your channel, I have the stock ESC and I have the Barrage Motor with it, what ESC do you recommend if I wanna use the Flysky GT5 receiver with the Barrage motor? also, I know I saw that you like running the FOC 2 in 1 combo Hobbywing and I have the AXE system, does this brushless setup on the scx24 have the same feel as the FOC on the Hobbywing FOC? that smooth consistent torque. thank you
This hobbywing isn’t near as smooth as the fusion or axe. The castle micro sidewinder is the only small scale esc that I’ve found that is anywhere near those 2 systems. But they are sensored systems as well so it’s hard to beat them. This hobbywing really just kinda gets the job done. It’s not ultra smooth but it’s not bad either. I mainly recommended it because at the moment there isn’t much else to go with. Everything is on back order etc. As far as running the gt5 with the barrage motor I would think you could pair about any decent brushed esc with it and be good. Maybe the hobbywing 1080? It’s a little bigger but will work. I haven’t played around with too many brushed options for the scx24. I did run my castle micro sidewinder with the barrage and it was ultra smooth! Once again though it’s almost impossible to find now lol. It’s just a hard call with everything being unavailable like it is 🤦🏻♂️
@@2fmrc yeah i cant find anything either lol, for a smoother Hobbywing FOC crawl feel which would you use the mamba micro X or the Micro Sidewinder 2 for the brushless setup? thanks again
@@thegreatrc9302 either would probably be good. I have experience with the micro sidewinder 2 in the scx24 and it’s by far the best I’ve ran in them. If I can get it I’ll choose it every time!
I recently purchased the same motor and mount but need the screws to mount it. What size are they and where can I find them? Please help. It will be greatly appreciated
Sorry I just seen this. I used some 3mm x 12mm screws for the motor. Something like these
amzn.to/3ICl7BW
Matt, I plan to do this setup on the jeep. What driveshafts do I need to make this work?
You’ll use your stock driveshafts. No changes needed!
@@2fmrc Thank you!
Do you know what size screws you used to mount the surpass to the motor mount?
3mm x 12mm should work
What pinion do you have on that? Where can I get one? Preferably Amazon. A link would be greatly appreciated.
Matt, Have you installed the brushless motor in the Betty?
My motor is hitting the frame and not allowing in to spin.
Yes. Mine was very tight as well. It would barely catch the corner of the motor. I just bent the frame rails slightly and it made it clear. Gamyrc tried to update the mount a bit to help but it’s still really tight on the Betty for some reason.
@@2fmrc
Could you send me a photo so I can have ideal of how far to go. Mine seemed to be hitting a lot. Thanks for all the great videos. You by far are my go to...
Question. Because I want to try to do this set up on one of my rigs but I can not find the hot racing pinion gear.. the other one that you have on your discerption is that one that you recommend to fit on the surpass motor?
Because it seems like they don’t make those 11t pinion gears anymore unless there just all out everywhere. Or I found another one it’s a 0.5m 0.5mod 3mm 12t brass motor pinion. It says it’s a tight fit but I’m wondering if that will fit on a surpass motor.
I’m sorry I’m still all new to allll of this. Your videos are the ones I watch the most. So I thank you a lot but yeah I just need some help trying to locate a pinion gear or witch one would u recommend to use on the surpass motor ?
Hey! I appreciate you watching and the comment. That brass pinion should work. I just put the same one (I believe) on my latest build. It’s tight but it works great! Those hot racing gears are hard to come by now. Furitek actually has a full brushless conversion setup that will be shipping soon hopefully (supposed to ship June 26 last I heard) and that will probably be the best bet once they are readily available just because it’s so simple to get everything in one spot!
@@2fmrc no problem man I love the videos. Not gonna lie I even rewatch them too haha. You really inspired me to really get into this hobby. I’m also a Hotwheels collector but man these scx24 are badass So I thank you sooo much man. Keep up the great work!
But yeah Right I saw that one too by furitek Vary interested in that one too but i gotta wait till they have that one back in stock. I believe I even pre ordered it. But in the mean time I have a surpass motor i wanna try out I just don’t have that pinion gear. I also found another one on eBay a brass 0.5m 0.5mod 3mm 12t but it’s not a 11t like the hot racing but yeah that hot racing. Can not find it anywhere so the 12t brass I just mention that will work as well without damaging the motor or spur gear? I just want to get the right gear and not mess anything up so I had to try to ask you for some help.
@@angelpiste805hotwheels2 that’s awesome. Yeah it should work if it’s mod 5 and 3mm bore. People even run 48p pinions and it works. Just a little louder I believe.
@@2fmrc awesome man. Thank you so much for the help definitely will be coming back if I need anymore help if that’s okay. I really appreciate it. Will be giving that pinion a try.
@@angelpiste805hotwheels2 anytime! Just holler at me!
What motor esc combo is it?
What did you use to adapt the three leads from the Surpass to the ESC? I just got my motor and it doesn't have any sort of adaptor included. (slowly but surely trying to get the conversion done on mine too)
What esc are you connecting to? They should plug straight into whatever brushless esc you’re running.
Sorry, I was talking about the Furitek. But after I asked, I saw that the Lizard comes with the adaptor. Thanks man. I'm going to build a Gamyrc Buggy like your orange one, but with the Surpass motor and rear steer. Thanks for the inspiration!
@@JustinJohnson13 nice! Keep me updated on the build!
What would be the difference in using this motor vs a RGT Barrage?
More power, less heat, and paired with the Furitek esc WAYYYY smoother.
What are the pros/cons running the 1200kv motor also available.??
Probably won’t notice much of a difference really but it would probably have a little more torque and less top speed.
what kv is that 2204 u installed
1400kv
Is this the best motor upgrade for this? Lots of people seem to just replace with stock or slightly different brushed motor.
Yeah it’s my favorite for sure. The barrage is a really cheap easy upgrade from stock. Then I prefer this in the brushless category. Paired with the new Furitek esc (in my latest videos) it’s unbelievably smooth!
@@2fmrc Yes, I watched that video and was absolutely blown away. I've never been really into rc so I didn't even know esc like that existed! If I get a scx24 I will definitely be considering. Your videos are very informative! I want to start small and relatively inexpensive but upgradeable even though the 1/10 scale trucks look awesome
Also, quick random question, are you running the RC4WD bfgoodrich tires on betty?
Noticed different tires on the last video.
Yep! So far I love them!
Nice! Ya I really love me the style and I'm thinking about putting those on my jeep
@@maxwellphillip6002 They work great and look awesome i have a set on my c10 way better then stock they will be a little shorter then your stockers on the jeep.
I can’t seem to find the 11t HR spur gear you linked but have found a 12t. Thoughts on wether it will work?
Yes the 12t should work. I have a 12t pinion on one of mine. Hopefully the 11 will be back in stock eventually.
Thank you for the timely response, but I have actually found a 11t on Amazon of all places. Lol
You inspired me to do a 4ws set up on my wrangler and before all my parts have came in, my motor took a crap. Now ordering everything for a brushless set up.

I know and I’ve only had it for 2 weeks lol
@@michaelgoodwin6850 they are pretty addicting lol
Just bought all the parts but no 11T HR gears are available so I ordered the 12T, how will the 12T effect it differently with the 0.5 reduction gear?
I have a 12t in one of mine. Really couldn’t tell you which one now lol. To not really noticeable to me. It’ll be fine. I think we bought all of the 11t out 😆
@@2fmrc i had a feeling you did!! 😂 haha
What size bore hole did you buy for the 12T pinion? The ebay listing gives the option of 2 or 3 mm.
@@MrJethro91 3mm or 1/8 bore works. They are getting very hard to come by.
@@2fmrc Thanks for the quick reply. Great videos too. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
Hey bud, I got this mount, but it seems to be backwards from what u have, also, I have to use spacers so the pinion fits in between the motor and the back of the mount, or I have to hollow out the home so the pinion will fit. I'm using the hr 12t .5 pinion. Am I doing something wrong?
Shouldn’t be backwards but you will have to hollow it out a bit for that pinion. When gamyrc first made the mount we were using a different pinion. I found the hot racing pinion which is easier to get (ships from the US) but it does need the mount hollowed out. He recently changed the motor mount again to fit that HR pinion.
Thanks for the reply, gamy actually messaged me and explained what to do. I didn't reali3 u guys were using a diff pinion. Thanls for all u do bro!!
@@grassfpv1876 no prob! I have used this pinion on a couple also. Just gotta trim a bit and you’ll be good! Let me know if you need anything else!
What shocks are you running
On the Jeep I have the aluminum cr24 shocks and on the silver rig I’m running the aluminum oil filled carismas at the moment. Probably going to switch them to kinetic double barrels when I get the time.
Is there any other pinion options?
Mofo Rc is working on some. Should be on their site soon if not already!
So, im sure i screwed something up, but the driveshaft won't seem to fit when i have the HR .5 Spur gear on.
Did you happen to flip the trans when mounting it all up and need to switch the driveshafts? Or possibly put the spur gear on the wrong way? One side has more of an offset than the other.
@@2fmrc yeah, i had take the trans apart to geease the bearings, and put the shaft in backwards. Thank you for the quick response!
What shocks do you have?
Which truck? I pretty much have all of them lol. I really like the aluminum cr24 shocks that are on my Jeep in the vid and the oil filled carismas when I need a really long shock. I just got a set of the treal oil filled that I haven’t installed yet.
You still have the white Jeep body? Would you sell it ? Have enough stuff to make my wife a jeep if i had a body
Which battery and connector did you use? I saw that I can’t use the stock battery with it so I need to find a battery and a connector for it
I run the stock batteries just with different ends. You’ll just need to change the connector on the esc to run the stock batteries. I haven’t found an adapter that goes from the plug on the esc to the stock scx24 batteries. It’s an odd adapter that apparently no one really sells.
@@2fmrc do you buy the batteries with the esc ends? Where could I get that battery?
@@camerontotino4592 no I soldered those ends on both the esc and the battery.
@@2fmrc ok, got it, thank you. For some reason I had a hard time understanding that lol.
Found the video on the install. I’m missing one piece to completing the build. What can we use if we can’t buy the Hit Racing 11t pinion Gear???
Well I’ve seen people use all the way up to the 15t but they are all getting hard to find. I had to order a couple of these an just wait for them. Everything is sold out atm 🤦🏻♂️

@@2fmrc I also was looking to see what pinion gear i should use. The link you posted shows me what to get except the hole diameter. Which one is it? im mounting to the surpass motor. it gives me 2 options , 2mm & 3mm.
@@michaellawrence9648 It's a 3mm. I have the same one linked, just measured with my calipers.
@@mnPatriot awesome thanks man!
@@michaellawrence9648 yeah you need the 3mm or 1/8” bore pinion.
What surpass motor did you use
2204
So regarding a Castle Sidwwinder 2....will it perform as is out of the box, or does it have to be tuned with the adapter they sell?
I would recommend the castle link programmer. I believe it will come set up to where you can use it as is but it’s better with a little tuning. You will have to solder on some battery connectors to the castle. It just comes straight wires.
@@2fmrc I'll get the programmer. I am still trying to understand all of my adjustments to be made. Just got a DX5C transmitter for my Wraith Spawn, and aside from Speed and Steering, im not sure what im doing...yet. I need to find a video that dumbs it down for me. Now, will the prorammer take care of all adjustments needed outside of what a standard low end/option transmitter would? I figured I would put the Tactic (originally in my Spawn) receiver in my micro, and use the Tactic transmitter (Spawn) with it, to save more out of pocket costs.
@@TRKISH324 yep! Other than like your steering trim and those basic functions you normally do on your transmitter. The programmer will do things like punch control,drag brake etc.
@@2fmrc thank you! So helpful to have someone more experienced offer advice. And leaen something new in each of your videos. Were you mechanically inclined and inclined to eletrics/electronics before getting into the hobby with your son? I'm learnable, and pretty smart, but this is unfortunately Latin to me. Can't imagine pre YT/social media learning this, but I'm sure the hbby has grown exponentially!
@@TRKISH324 I’ve never had any sort of training or “schoolin” 😆 for anything with electronics or mechanical stuff but I’ve always been the type to get something brand new and start taking it apart lol. I knew NOTHING about Rc when I got into the hobby and I’ve honestly self taught myself (or youtubed) everything I know because up until this past year I never really ran with anyone else that was into the hobby. My father in law got into it the same time as I did and he and I always ran together. Neither of us knew anything and he’s the type that if it’s running he’s not messing with it lol. I have to be constantly pulling it apart to try making it better so I’ve figured a lot of things out just by playing around!
Do think the deadbolt body would fit on top of the motor
I would think so
It did
@@drewdavis4162 awesome! Sorry I just seen the comment. I never got a notification and I was just going back through some videos checking comments trying to look for any I missed lol
What shocks are on that rig?
The Jeep has the aluminum cr24 shocks and the silver has the aluminum oil filled carismas.
Can you use the stock receiver with this setup?
No. I would recommend the Furitek esc now though and with it you can run the stock transmitter/receiver
2FM RC I was referring to the square esc, not the lizard. I ordered the preorder for the waterproof one comin on 3/31. Stock receiver good?
@@adamrenfrow8634 yep! You’ll be good with either of the Furitek escs on the stock transmitter.
Are you aware of any other pinions that work with the surpass and .5 conversion. Hot racing is sold out everywhere
The only other ones I’ve really found come from China and take a bit to get. You need the 3mm version. Here’s the link to it.

@@2fmrc Its scaring me by not seeing a set screw in the gear in it's picture, am I over reacting or there will be one?
@@bgrimlan that pinion from eBay is a press on. It’s a tight fit. Never had an issue with it. If anything put a dab of super glue on the motor shaft and then slide it on.
@@2fmrc Is there a correct way to put the press-on gear on? I imagine you don't use any lubricant since that would make the gear more likely to slip when the motor spins. Can I just rubber mallet it? I don't think I can put it on by bare hand force. Sorry, I have never dealt with press-on gears, just those with a nut or a set screw.
Anybody what body he’s running?
Know* that thing is tuff
From what I have seen these big motors mounted high have not produced good results in these little trucks. Roll'n roll'n roll'n. ;-)
All about the mount and chassis. A lot of people also throw the battery in the rear or up high because of the layout with these motors & that just don’t work. Just gotta make it work! The motor being a few mm higher isn’t gonna make or break my rig. My driving isn’t that good 😆
Help me here. My pinion won’t fit psat the spur gear through the hole I the shapeways mount. Mounted normal, the shoulder of the pinion hits the spur gear. Don’t want to hack up a new motor mount. What pinion do I need, what tooth? Thanks.
Thanks from all of us that have been waiting to watch you do that. I already ordered an esc while waiting for the motor. Please tell me this will work.....www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B071GRSFBD?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
Well..... I’m not totally sure that will work. Some of those only run one direction at a time. So you’ll have forward and no reverse. You can program it to run the other way but then you’ll have no forward and only reverse. I don’t think it’ll do both at the same time. I’m not 100% sure on this. You’ll have to play with the settings on it. Hopefully it has a good manual that can walk you through the settings.
@@2fmrc It doesn't, but it says it is plug and play for car, truck, boat. Or it can be programmed. Via card or controller. But the manual didn't translate well.
Trying out a hardbody. I hope it's not too heavy. Only using bare essential outer body so maybe not. In your expert opinion, how long should the surpass hold up in this rig? Mine already weighs close to a half pound without motor. Thanks
