I'm not an expert on outrunners but ran them in my crawlers for over 10 year and I'm very familiar with what they can and can't do. Outrunner can definitely run under water. They are extremely durable and have no problem running in dirt and water and I've also personally seen them run mud bogs with no problems. Tho, it is smart to clean them with fresh water after a day of seeing river/lake water and hit them with compressed air. Oh, lastly, most outrunners , crawler motors and drone are 14 poles with few exceptions. Always love your videos.
Thanks for the info. I only know that Furitek says to keep the brushless outrunners out of water. :::shrug::: maybe it’s just their motors? Have you ran any micro brushless outrunners in water and mud with no issues?
I have found the smoothest setting to be like Matt says off of to fmrc factory reset make sure it's updated and leave it just like that and it runs great I don't know about two-seater but all the motors have been since so far work really good like that
Do you have an update on whether or not the FOC to non-FOC transition got addressed? (note: I'm only about 12 mins into your video so far... still watching)
I havent experianced a full stall in the Micro Komodo - Pro/Ultimate setup. The most recent firmware update is definitely the best so far and then, depending on your setup, you just need to tune it to minimize it. Lots of playing with settings will eventually get you to a good spot.
Why are furiteks motors all 3800-4800kv. Wouldn’t they benefit from having a lower KV? I still don’t quite understand the relation between gearing, and KV. I’m gonna find out first hand with a BAM 1900 on my trx4m until the cedar is in stock. I have a 118 in my trx4m and I’m pretty happy with it but it only works for crawling with crane gears or so I’ve heard.
I have the Gold Digger - how does the cedar compare with the micro Komodo that came in the digger? Crawl & top speed. Also - can the Cedar be used with the old Lizard Pro
My Stellar transmission seemed to get really hot on 3s with this set up... I only ran a few min and I could feel it was warm,,, is it ok to run on 3s? I have it in a Meus Ripper
You should be fine on 3s with a cedar. It does get quite warm though. As long as you can keep your finger on the motor for more than 3-4 seconds, you’re fine.
sorry to ask a question that has nothing to do with this video but..where can i get a ..whatever you call that blue pad thingy? and also, is there some way to run your truck with your phone? it seems to all be there if they just did a few little things you could i think, the phone can talk to the thing, and your transmitter can too :O can a phone move your truck?
There is a link in every video description to the silicone work mat. As for a phone to control the rc, you would have to get a special receiver to do that and yes, they make em. There are some DIY solutions as well. I remember seeing a receiver that could connect via Bluetooth and be controlled by your phone, but now I can’t seem to find it. Driving a higher end RC with a phone isn’t really ideal though, there is no real benefit over a traditional transmitter / remote.
I have the same motor and esc just installed it in my TRX4M and experiencing the same thing u were at low speeds. It will bind or cog and stutter. What did you do to fix this ?
@@TheShopMiniRC nope I will I’m going to put the lizard pro in there and see if I have any issues with it also quick way to see if it’s gearing related or not.
Hey Ken, great video. I'm thinking about switching up to one of these motors instead of my Komodo for the clearance. Also that top speed is just fun man lol. Just wanted to ask, any issues heat wise around the ESC running the speed for long? And will I need the Python? I have the Lizard Pro.
Run in thru water! So you like trying to clean bearings all the time or spend more money on new bearings everytime you go swimming is the muddy water!!!
Thanks for another great Video!👍
Thanks again for watching!!! This little thing is a blast!!!

The Furitek outrunner is a no no for water.
Cool little rig! 👍🏻
it is such a blast to rip around!
Beast!!!!!
Beast indeed!!! Such a cool setup!

Not yet.
I need one!
Yes... yes you do!
I get the same stall on my Stinger in my capra. What have you found is the best update to help that?

Some of the larger outrunners are MUCH lower KV.
Not true, they pretty much cover the whole spectrum when it comes to motors and different variations, the Komodo sounds like what you’re looking for
I have the Gold Digger - how does the cedar compare with the micro Komodo that came in the digger? Crawl & top speed. Also - can the Cedar be used with the old Lizard Pro
I mean, the cedar is much faster for sure. The slow crawl is still pretty good as I show, but I think the micro will have more torque.

Do you know the gear mesh the cedar 11t comes with? .3 or .5 ?
.3 as it drops right into a stock trans.
How did you make it so fast.🎉🎉
The motor and esc on fcx24 axles.
I have the same motor and esc just installed it in my TRX4M and experiencing the same thing u were at low speeds. It will bind or cog and stutter. What did you do to fix this ?
Be sure you are updated to the newest firmware first off. That might help some. Could also try a smaller pinion.
@@TheShopMiniRC yeah latest firmware is up! Weird the Komodo and mini Komodo don’t have any issues at all.
@@rctrucksamerica6868 hmm. I wonder if the gearing of the TRX4M is part of it. Did you try installing crawler gears?
@@TheShopMiniRC nope I will I’m going to put the lizard pro in there and see if I have any issues with it also quick way to see if it’s gearing related or not.
@@TheShopMiniRC thank you 🙏

I didn’t notice the esc getting too hot. The motor on the other hand did get toasty.
Thats really impressive on the esc, any concerns for the motor heat overtime? Always appreciate your response and input. 🤟
@@ImGoin2Sleep not so far. I ran it pretty hard out at badlands and it was hot as hell there and it’s still goin strong.
Run 2 2s in parallel 😅. Nice vid bro
But we wanna run 3s!
Run in thru water! So you like trying to clean bearings all the time or spend more money on new bearings everytime you go swimming is the muddy water!!!
Eh… you can easily dry and oil them so they don’t rust.
Ran my Slash in water for years. Never had a bearing go bad. Never cleaned it.
