You read my mind about putting duel IC2 / Deans connectors on the brushless esc. I have a bunch of the IC2 batteries from my Mini-B and the 1800mah that came with the Grom but I also have 3S 3000mah batteries I run in my brushless Mojave Grom with Deans plugs. I ended up ordering a Quic-run 16BL30 esc and Reedy 280 sl4 4500kv motor for mine. With stock gearing the truck fly's! 😆 Really happy they made the Mojave Grom, its such a fun little truck!
Surprized that esc that came in that brushless combo is holding up to 3s mine when up in smoke after 1st tigger pull on 3s. Motors r good but im now using HW 10bl60 esc no problems. Great video by the way.
Noice noice! I had the Mojave EXB with Max6 Combo (6s) and it was a joy, but not had time for anymore. Directly ordered the mini version once they´ve anounced it. Must say even in brushed it´s kinda good, much better than i´d expected. but yeah also looking fwd to maybe build a small 2S or 3S brushless combo in it, majorly because of the gyro function from the new receiver then, as well as get a little more topspeed & punch out of it. But not sure if all the stock components will draw much quicker then (basically won´t build arround that much on that thing, it should just drive "always"
Dang that's a nice upgrade for $41!! How has it held up? Were temps OK after those speed runs? Oops finished the video. Looks like a reasonable 2s is the sweet spot. I enjoyed the video. Thanks!
2S temps are good but bashing on 3S it gets pretty hot. I am going to try a different fan. Problem is this ESC is only a 5amp BEC and not adjustable. I think I may direct wire the fan to the battery to get more flow from it.
Yes do that and run two fans one from 5v one direct , you can probably bend heat sink too squeeze it together, also could put air scoop because bodies seal pretty tight , why u try stick to 4500 and lower for 3s , 5 and 6 2s only . I haven’t converted my groms yet but I have mini b s and reflex 14t which is same as this little big for small can motors but to small for the bigger motors or you chew diffs up . Trick is keeping them cool
In part two I will be upgrading the diffs, axles, larger cooling fan and shocks. So far though, I have 30+ runs with it on 3S with better cooling and the truck has been as solid as can be. Its even had MANY 30+ MPH smacks into a steel pole while racing. LOL My Typhon Grom has only broken a shock so far after many accidents so I think they have a pretty solid drivetrain already.
Unfortunately, no. Groms have the SLE protocol, very limited on range. You could use any radio you like but I use Spektrums and you can run a 315 or 6200 in these. I like the 6200 as it has AVC. Hope that helps!
How is the motor holding up? I ordered one to see if I can get a little bit more top speed out of my setup on 3s but then I noticed the motor is only rated for 8.4 volts.
So far so good. I have over 30 runs on it and the motor has been rock solid now with the cooling upgrades. Just got the suspension dialed in a bit better with some 40wt oil and will continue to test it!
@@TheDudeRc sweet! Good to hear. I used some 100wt oil I had laying around in mine lol made a nice difference but the rear is either still too soft or too bouncy imo.. I might upgrade the shocks here soon after my metal diffs arrive. Such a cool lil truck 😄
So far they have lasted over 30 runs with a lot of painful impacts. That being said, keep an eye out for the next video as I will be doing some upgrades concerning just that. I wanted to see how long they would last before swapping them but so far they havent broken.

Nice speed with the KingVal combo. I like that the shaft size is 2.3 and matches the bore of the stock pinion. Great job! 👍😁
Thanks 👍

That’s the proper way to run a Grom! And by the way, I was waiting to hear your wife yell at you because you hit her with a brushed motor 😂
LOL
5:15 yo the way he threw that mf lmaooo
The blue and safety-yellow look great with the white👍🏻
Nice video my guy.. the mohave grom is the best one yet in my opinion.
Mine too!

52 MPH. Damn 😂. Awesome. Great job

I put my RX on the fan. Fit perfectly and keeps it cool.
I knew I was going with a larger fan and wanted to not have to remove the RX. That being said, I may try that out. Thanks!
I just put the same system in my Typhon yesterday and I only run it on 2s to try to keep from breaking the driveline.

I want both of them in my Collection And do A Opgrad to brushless I have different ESC I Can use.Really gid job and Nice video 😊
how did you solder the esc wire connecters like that can you make a video on that? please.
Can a person use the stock arrma controller with this setup?
Unfortunately, no. Groms have the SLE protocol, very limited on range. You could use any radio you like but I use Spektrums and you can run a 315 or 6200 in these. I like the 6200 as it has AVC.

What’s the gps thing your using
Sky RC GNSS
What pinion are you running?

What volts should the moter be?
Can you use stock radio with brushless
No, you have to change out the radio system. The stock ESC is also your Rx.
Wonder how well those plastic axle gears will last 😬

Great vid
LOL, your DX5 rugged costs more than the truck.
i never use locktide lol
I see stripping gears because they're not designed to handle 3s.
Did not like the way you throw things away. That's disrespectful.
Its a toy. Dont take it too seriously.
