- Hello viewers. In this video, I do my full evaluation, and review, of the latest HobbyWing G4R motor. I take it apart, tune it, and run it through test to see what it can do.
It just won the first round of our national outdoor onroad series in the 13.5t class here in the UK. That was on a track with a big straight and not a lot of slow corners with medium to high traction
That's awesome !! We're you using the HW G4R?
@@wutupclegg6618 no I race FWD which uses the spec HW Justock 17.5t combo with 15k rev limit, it a great class
@@Luke-en2tk That's a fun glass. You won the 13.5T class with a Justock 17.5T motor? That is very impressive.
@@wutupclegg6618 no no I didn't win the class a Schumacher team mate did, I only race at my local club these days
I love your videos, thanks for sharing, As a newbie im trying to learn, im not a very technically inclined person and im really struggling with learning about radio and spoed control settings, And how to set it all up to work optimally
Don't give up! Visit your local track. There are usually a bunch of guys that love to help and give tips. You can also try RCTech.net. There's a lot of info in that forum.
What kind of track are you racing on, and what car do you have?
@wutupclegg6618 Our local track is indoor clay, off-road track. (Whip it raceway) reno Nevada.
My car is a team associated 2wd buggy
What radio, motor, and ESC do you have? Those can get confusing, at first.
Good job BRO
Thank you. I really appreciate it. Wait until you see the new testing tool I have. It's going to make the comparisons so much better. I just have to get it all set up.
Love your vids, hope you get an exalt Phoenix gold 17.5 😎
Thank you for the compliment. I was going to do an Exalt, but then the HW dropped. I received a flood of requests for that.
@@wutupclegg6618Seems like R1 is the one everyone is talking about lately, followed by exalt.
I saw a guy at the track I go to the other day running a REDS 17.5 and I was surprised it was a 17.5 this car was absolutely ripping, I would have guessed it was at least a 13.5
@@MX-CO they make a great motor. I'm hoping to get one to test soon.
Would be great to see how they perform if you swapped the rotors between the 2 motors
I did that with a couple motors. It is interesting to see the difference. The latest was with the Tiken Gen4 R2.
The Tunalyzer gives you the KV value in the automatic test, multiply that by the test voltage (7.4?) and you have the max rpm during the auto test.
Yes sir. That is correct. Did I accidently explain something different?
@@wutupclegg6618 no you didn’t, but you use the manual speed test to get an rpm value which is difficult to get a true reading from as it jumps about a lot. Of course max rpm off load is a pretty useless value anyway, but we all like big numbers 🤣
How about doing the R121S? Those are some torquey motors
I would love to get my hands on one.
I bought a used car and did a bunch of research on motors, prior to ever driving my car, I was thinking I would need/want the fastest motor I could get, But I bought a used speed Controller (hobbywing G2S) and with it I got a used 17.5 reedy motor, Than before I ever tried the Reedy motor I ordered a 17.5 motor new, and then I tried the reedy and it absolutely rips so I havent needed anything more, so I actually havent even tried the New, Timed/shimmed motor i ordered yet.. because the reedy 17.5 is already faster than my ability.
The Reedy motors are pretty good. The newer motors are a bit better, but don't worry about that until you need it. Like they say, the fastest way to get around a track is to not crash. LOL...
@@wutupclegg6618Yeah I agree and I can barely make 2 Laps without crashing, like I said I'm new and our local track is very technical, no straight aways lots if angles and off camber corners. Big jumps etc
@@MX-CO I love tracks like that! It makes it feel like it's more of an offroad track.
Where did u got the Shims for the rotor shimming from? Since it needs a 4mm inner diameter they re difficult to find.
I purchased them from Amain Hobbies.
Great videos man! Any chance of testing the Hobbywing Xerun V10 G4R Rotor (Torque)??
All the best.
Are you referring to the JUSD rotor?
@@wutupclegg6618 Yes I’ve got one on the way! Would you recommend lowering the timing or pinion gear? or both?
@dunft1 it depends on the car, track layout, and what you had before.
What is the difference between the spec version and the roar? Only thing I can see is the roar uses epoxy. I csmt decide which motor to go with. My local track doesn't check for roar approved stuff as long as we are running blinky. Which motor should I chose? Thank you
ROAR and spec are pretty much the same. Most people will refer to a spec motor when that company makes certified motors. Spec just means that it meets stock racing specifications. ROAR legal means it meets ROAR specifications. Again, every ROAR legal stock motor is a "stock spec" motor.
What type of racing and track are you running o ?
@@wutupclegg6618 indoor carpet off road. My local track is Norcal Hobbies here in the bay area. Thank you for the response
@wutupclegg6618 I'm currently running a team powers actinium v5 since norcal hobbies is the north America distributor of that brand. Everyone at the track mainly runs Team Powers motors and escs. So I went with that but now I'm thinking this Hobbywing G4R is a stronger motor so I've been looking into them as I'm building my B7
If your track doesn't care/check, I would run an outlaw motor. Those are stock motors with thicker windings to get a ton more torque. There are a few brands that make them.
@wutupclegg6618 yea ive thought about that too. I need to double check with my track. I know they check the blinky mode I'm not sure if they check the motors too closely unless it's a huge club race. Let's say they check and I have to stay away from the outlaw/bandit motors. Do you prefer the Hobbywing over the Team Powers Actinium V5. The test results seem to show the HW is a stronger motor at similar amps. I was also looking at a Helix Fantom too. Those 3 motors seem to be top notch. Thank you for your help
How does the G4r compare to the surpass V6 lite?
Stay Tuned. I have a new tester that I have been working on. I'll be showing it soon.
@@wutupclegg6618Looking forward to it!
13.5 next?
It is a serious thought. The biggest problem is, I have pay for these motirs.
I would say the tests between the 17.5 and 13.5 should be comparable between different motors.
