Stance motor upgrade advice suggestions

[Jarcher21]

Looking to upgrade stance motor to brushless. Currently stock with motor, esc and servo. Am thinking of 2in1 motor to eliminate esc. Have been looking at hobbywing, but have been reading about Holmes and spektrum also. Will be using with radiolink rc4gs and want to make sure of fitment without mods or minimal mods. Suggestions/advice on best motor to use for crawling only, if anyone has similar setup? TIA!

I have not had a chance to try the Holmes Hobbies 2-in-1, but I've had plenty from them and it has all been top notch.

The Hobbywing Fusion Pro has been a popular choice. I have one in my SCX 10 Pro and it does not disappoint.

I would go either HW or HH. The Spektrum is going to be a rebranded HW. That said, if it's on sale and cheaper then I'd have to really want the others to spend more on them.

Quite a few good choices, some being lighter than others. Furitek is a great option, but it's hard to beat the HW Fusion Pro. I'm gonna get a few of the Holmes in to experiment with.

Thanks! Was leaning toward HW from start

HW Fusion Pro Elite you have the option of running upto 4s with this, and it's slightly shorter than the normal Fusion..

FUSION Pro Elite. It's king right now.

The Fusion Pro E weighs 178 grams and the Furitek is 99 grams. Furitek has much better programming software on the mobile app. Both handle 4s. I like the Fusion pro E for larger trail / crawler rigs, but when it's all about steep lines, sprung weight matters and 79 grams is about 15 grams heavier than the average 1.9 beadlock wheel.

The Hobbywing 2in1's are so good, I 've never had a reason to try the others.

I trust @MVRCA 's judgement on the Furitek though, they are still number one choice for my mini crawlers.

Can't go wrong with either one. The Holmes is gonna be good as well, and the 1800kV is 154 grams. Lucky to have a few good choices.

The Furitek you speak of, is it a 1/10 sized setup.?
Do you have a model number, I need to see this thing..!!

+1 on the Furitek Unity. I dont have one yet, but have seen them in action working beautifully. And as with the Furitek line up, their mobile app it great. I do plan on using the Furitek Unity in my next build, hopefully soon.

@MVRCA ..
I'm not a comp crawler just someone that likes new tech and general crawling/trail trucking, I see you mention the 1800kv version, I also see they do a 2300kv version, why choose one over the other, please explain,Thx
Most of my HW systems are 2300kv and I only went with those due to recommendations..

 

[MVRCA]

This is a complex topic due to the stacked variables. This video is excellent for detail:

I run low kv values because I don't need the wheel speed. Many go with 2300 because it's the sweet spot for crawling and trailing, and with modern ESC controls on crawlers, it's hard to go wrong.

I also like low kv values when I bump up in battery voltage. Let's me run small batteries with plenty of power. My SCX-6 is 6s and I get about an hour and 15 min on a single 1400mAh 6s battery.

 

[Doom!]

I run 1800 because I prefer the extra bit of torque over speed. 1800 is still plenty fast for trails. But it seems these days the 2300 is easier to find than the 1800.

 

[BashingBrian]

I think I'll go look for an 1800kv for my next project.. cheers guys

I just put the 2200kv version of this in my latest Vanquish ... https://www.hobbywing.com/en/products/quicrun-outer-3530-sl
I've not been out with it yet, but omg it moves soooooo slowly
