@Gordon Cullen Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I used dean's for years but have switched to XT60. I had a dean's get so hot after doing donuts for a couple minutes straight that I almost couldn't get it apart. I like the XT60 design with the contacts being shielded, I added a little silicone grease to mine to help them slip together and mainly come apart easier.
I put a Revolver 540 v2 with a sidewinder 4 in my Capra and I love it. the low end torque and smooth startup is better than anything I could have hoped for. it's an awesome kit!
@@tomlucasrccrawlers9108I just bought it as a combo from Holmes, and that's what they basically recommend on the website. John Holmes also did a video testing the revolver with the sidewinder 4 and was really please with the performance of the package. i don't know much about the micro. i guess it would be nice to have the 4 in a smaller form factor.
As a point of reference, if you get the Axial parts tree AX31009, it also has the bottom section of the servo saver in the various spline counts. I am using the Savox SH-0256 as my dig servo and it is a direct fit when accompanied by the correct splined piece from AX31009.
I am a scientist of little renown and you just taught me that there was a thing called a "BEC" bypass adaptor. I knew there had to be a way to run a steering servo at higher voltage than the other servos on a rig. Thank you.
With the Capra trans being so high geared compared to axial 3 gear trans. A slower motor will give better low speed control, but still have wheel speed.
I’ve switched to XT?? for my higher voltage applications XT60’s for 3s & 4s XT90 for anything higher voltage or just higher draw. On 2s I’m mostly using banana plugs (typically competitive race Applications like my 17.5 touring car or buggy ) everything else is either Deans or Sermo’s. I still like the LEGO stack ability and general versatility the Sermo’s/Powerpole plugs offered they were just bulky and the housings can become brittle when exposed to chemicals like motor spray, these were my first non Tamiya connectors when I started in RC more than 25yrs ago if you go into my older cars on the shelf you’ll find them in all of them I’ve even used them in 1:1 Automotive applications.
I’m running the mamba x and PP 2700kv standard. You don’t need the fan on the mamba with 11t pinion. I use the aux setup in the max power setting so I can adjust my throttle mapping and power output on the fly.
I'm with you on that! I really like the idea and technology behind the Spektrum Smart Batteries and the chargers. I am kind of disappointed that they don't have a Shorty Pack with 3S though. So I'm going to start with the 2S and hope they eventually come out with a 3S. Are you listening SPEKTRUM?!
Battery connector is XT60 , Mamba x Slate 2850 , JX CLS HV7346 , Futaba 4pls and 2106gs ...I used the 4pls because it has a true 3 position switch for the dig ....The Mamba X is running 7.4 volt bec the Spectrum 107 is working so far...
I have all the ultimate stuff. Your bench looks like mine for this build. That's awesome. I havent even got around to it yet because I had surgery but I like what you have been doing.
I've been using XT60's for a couple years since they are simple, and chubby finger friendly. I do know a few people still rockin the tamiya style plug. Also $200 is not my idea of an "affordable" radio system. Looking forward to the running videos man!
Traxxas plugs 🔌 lol on everything and it’s only because my first model was a 4x4 slash and i thought it would be Easier as my collection has grown 30plus and putting my Capra together now and as far as electronics in it 4PLS,hobbywing axe system 1200kv to start with 107 mini servo and a power hd steering servo 25kg nice 👍🏻 👍🏻 video
Fly-Sky FS-GT5 transmitter with FS-BS6 receiver. By far the best full featured budget radio setup. Additional receivers are around $16. I have all XT60 connectors with the exception of my tamiya euro diesel. Class rules state only Dean's other than tamiya connector. The hobbywing 1080 is my brushed esc of choice as well. I have had good luck with power hd 23kg servos on the steering. Someone has already posted 3D printed mount files for the dig servo to thingaverse to adapt an hs-82 servo so most micro servos are that particular form factor. I have also been using the 16T 5 com reedy motors with good results. Alot of the shorty batts are backordered. Reedy Wolfpack 3000mah 3S is another option.
I’m using the 4s pack that crawler innovation recommended on RcCrawler. It’s a value hobby 4s 1300mah 100c pack for $20. Easily get over an hour with it.
I typically still use Deans plugs, however, I bought a pack of XT60 plugs with the intention to switch everything over in the near future. I did go ahead and put an XT90 on my Kraton 4s. That thing draws a lot of current.
Years ago I bought a hundred Anderson Power Pole modular plugs and have used them for everything. I'm thinking of changing to XT60 but there are so many to change ....
Battery connector wasn’t even an issue for me my whole fleet I use the same ones on. My Capra I got a Holmes 500 sv2 servo, castle slate 2280kv, and a mamba x esc running off a 3s protek 4100mah. Thanks for making these videos.
@@sik05civic Whats nice about Castle Slate 2280 and Holmes Hobbies stubby 2700 they both will work with the Mamba Micro X but you may need a BEC for high power servo..I have a 2280 in a Axial UMG 10ii works well..

Why would the digg servo need a servo saver? I don't really understand where a massive amount of torque could come from to destroy or strip the digg servo. I'm guessing I'm just not understanding something. I always viewed servo savers as something that came in due to unexpected situations like landing on your front wheel at a 45ﾟ angle etc I'm trying to understand when a dig servo would be accidentally shifted into a position where the transmission is still under enough load to cause damage. I'm definitely missing something. I definitely look forward to see some of your running videos I have been fairly impressed with what I have seen online so far.
I'm on xt60 3s mamba x, tekin motor, and Hitec servo Great video mate this was a good topic for people!!!!!! i was interested to hear what you have to say and luckily its what i was thinking anyways!!!

BTW, what are those 3 statues up on the top shelf behind you!?
There are female EC3, EC5, and Deans(T) to male Traxxas iD adaptors offered for less than $10 all day long on Amazon. IMHO the Traxxas iD connectors with the integrated balancing wires are what the RC industry should standardize too. These octopus-like batteries with a plethora of wires and two individual connectors hanging out are unnecessarily obfuscatory and vulnerable to damage.
Great video mate. I love that you give a wide range of choices, I have just purchased said Holmes hobbies motor. What are the blocks that you are displaying the motors on called? Running Deans.
That's what I just asked also, wondering how to get the high voltage for steering and keep the dig at 6v. Let me know if you figure it out plz! I'll do the same
Traxxxas plug! Lol I run TRAXXAS in a of my cars. my bomber has a RX4 with a roc 412hd motor and a savox monster high voltage SB-2290 I love that’s set up it’s super smooth but has enough for to do standing backflips! And have has my bomber since last year and still have not striped one gear idk how great video Harley keep it up cheers! O and btw I had a mamba x in my bomber before and I had nothing but problems idk why and it all ended when the bullets came un soldered so I went to rx4 I know you have run a mamba x for a long time with no problems I guess I just go to hard on my stuff lol
I’m curious what brand XT60’s you run? Do you prefer ones with shrink tubing or the new ones that have the plastic snap cover? I just recently bought a bad batch and am looking for the high quality ones. You can hear and feel the difference.
Sorry guys,i am a newb. I really am no fan of the "buggy/truck" style models.I will never do any crawling ,can I use this for just buggy fun, grass jumps etc? no comp just fun. do not know if the gearing and diffs will be ok for this. just love the look of this and the Wraith kit.
I'm tryna decide between the rx4 and the mamba monster x for smt10 mega truck build. I'm leaning toward tekin on account of it's quiter (maybe?) and it'll run brushed and sensored/sensorless brushless motors. Any recommendations?
What do you think od using this in the Capra. The Hobbywing XR10 Pro G2 2S Sensored Brushless ESC/V10 G3R Combo includes the XeRun V10 G3R Competition Stock Spec Brushless Motor
Would you be able to use a basic 3 channel radio, such as a tactic, while also using the dig unit, or does it have to be programmable to have adjustable endpoints?
channotpoling20 A DIG Unit fully integrates onto a transmission to allow you to select between 4WD, front wheel drive with either rear drive locked or rear open, all done on a 3 channel or more radio. Helps with climbing, turning in tight turns. Only responded cuz they look fun and I am looking into it too.
Perfect battery I've found is the Spectrum Smart 1300mah 30C 3S 11.1V lasts about 45 min. don't even need the hood pins. I bought 2 at $21.99 each ... your welcome
A 30c 1300mah pack will only produce 39amps which is about the bare minimum for a brushed motor. A higher C rated battery or a high capacity would be much less restrictive to performance, especially if you run anything but a brushed motor.
@@HarleyDesignsInc Yeah all I know is that it rips with this battery & fits great (lasts a long time per charge)so I will keep using it,if I have problems I will let you know.I just took a chance & glad I did.I can't argue about the facts,it just works great.You are very smart thats why I watch you.Poor grammar I know.Did I mention it rips?
@@HarleyDesignsInc I only run this in my Capra because of the size limitation,i run 3s 2200mah 11.1 in my Ridgerock.Not trying to spread bad info it just performs great ... way out here in the northwest corner of Orygun, have a great day my friend

XT60 have been working well on my trucks and my aircraft.
Xt90's for me. Just swapped all my rigs to those. Xt60 would be better for crawlers though.
So a little backwards but run esc bec for steering and use the ext bec to drop the voltage for the dig servo.
The external BEC has more amperage so it would be better suited for the servo and makes wiring easier.

What battery is going to fit is a better question.
Could go with the castle Micro crawler esc it’s very good but would need to run a BEC to keep temps down

Nails parts numbers every time but can't say shi, sha, sh, sink (nailed it) 😂
Mamba X!!
Excuse me but I’m a newb. What does a dig mean?
channotpoling20 A DIG Unit fully integrates onto a transmission to allow you to select between 4WD, front wheel drive with either rear drive locked or rear open, all done on a 3 channel or more radio. Helps with climbing, turning in tight turns. Only responded cuz they look fun and I am looking into it too.
9:07 shorter heat sink killed me 😂😂
I run traxxas in my go fast rigs n deans in my crawlers
I use 2s 5000mah shorty packs from my 10th scale buggies.
I like to use bullet connectors. You only have to remember red to red black to blue? Haha haha. Seriously though bullets. 4mm and 6mm.
Perfect battery I've found is the Spectrum Smart 1300mah 30C 3S 11.1V lasts about 45 min. don't even need the hood pins. I bought 2 at $21.99 each ... your welcome
A 30c 1300mah pack will only produce 39amps which is about the bare minimum for a brushed motor. A higher C rated battery or a high capacity would be much less restrictive to performance, especially if you run anything but a brushed motor.
@@HarleyDesignsInc Yeah all I know is that it rips with this battery & fits great (lasts a long time per charge)so I will keep using it,if I have problems I will let you know.I just took a chance & glad I did.I can't argue about the facts,it just works great.You are very smart thats why I watch you.Poor grammar I know.Did I mention it rips?
@@HarleyDesignsInc I only run this in my Capra because of the size limitation,i run 3s 2200mah 11.1 in my Ridgerock.Not trying to spread bad info it just performs great ... way out here in the northwest corner of Orygun, have a great day my friend
Are you seeing problems with portal clearance inside the wheels like some of the other RC channels?
Not with Vanquish wheels.
Harley Designs That’s good to know. I heard that the included plastic bead locks have that issue even.
Great information. I am have heat issues with my Ecopower 120T steering servo. I am running the Mamba X to power everything. Do I need an ext BEC?
No the BEC won’t help the heat issues. It’s likely just working too hard. You’ll either need to step up in servo or be easier on it.
@@HarleyDesignsInc I appreciate the reply. I will try different terrain and see if I have the same problem. Great videos! I learn a lot. Newbie Crawler and my first kit. Thank you.
Make sure there is no binding in your steering to make the servo work harder.
How about a CC MICRO X ESC?
Hey in the future can you build a trail finder two
