Months,months and even more MONTHS... waiting for NEW STOCK CRAWLMASTER MINI!! The BEST BRUSHLESS NOT SENSORED ESC, THAT SEEMS TO NEVER BE AVAILABLE. 🤷♂️
I build custom led flashlights. For my soldering I use a jewelers vise with peg clamps and heavy base. It's a small setup but works very well for this type of work. You can find it on Amazon for about 30 bucks. Love the channel. Keep up the great work!
When doubling up on the wires, if you know you're going to do it before hand, twist the wires together and solder them as one. You won't have the issues of having to re-solder them multiple times. Informative video Cant wait to pick one of these up.
Lol your freakin hilarious John but I have 1 question is there going to be more mini esc's because I can't find it anywhere I really need to get your mini esc it is freakin awesome now I can run all my revolvers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👊💯
Oh man you made me laugh you reminded me of me got everything ready but the soldering iron is off the heat gun is unplugged unprepared yeah that sounds like me thanks for the video John. 🤣😂🤣💪🏻🔥😎🔥👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😜
Question: Could you cover the board in a silastic sealant and then heatshrink over it to make it waterproof? I understand you can also put this in a water proof box ... but just just wondering if its possible or do the electronic chips need to be open to air for cooling reasons?
So I’ve been sitting on this since the first batch. Finally decided today was the day I manned up and soldered it. I ran all the wires to a bundle, and a single wire out to the +/- terminals. Is this going to mess it up? Or will it be ok?
HI, THE TWO THAT I GOT DID NOT COME WITH THE 3 WIRE EXTENTION (GOT THEM ON SATURDAY). THANKS FOR THE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO, BUT I WILL SAY DOES HAVE THE TWO WIRE EXTENTION, WILL I NEED THE OTHER? THANKS JOHN.
I am.having some issues. After about 10 min of running, it goes into a "limiting" mode like lvc, but my lipo is charged. Running 3s 9t pinion and the 2500kv 10p revolver amd the cralwmastwr mini. Using bec for servo and bec for rx.
I just got mine today and it worked for 10 minutes and burned up! I have been soldering for years n it only took me 10 min to solder it all together but I am sure I got a DOA ESC
What voltage , motor, and rig? Doa will happen but we have some voltage and kv limits right now. 1400kv for 4s use, 1800kv on 3s with 9t pinion on capra, etc.
John you can use Play-doh to hold things down. You then have a shapeable hold and something you can squish into places and measure tolerances with. Silly puddy tends to be too slick. Hillbilly engineering 101!
@HolmesHobbies It was in DC voltage mode. I don't know what the problem was, but I swapped in a CC BEC, and now I'm reading 5V as expected. I'm guessing the BEC was bad, and maybe the voltmeter was reading 22 mV. The early BECs were problematic, right?
@HolmesHobbies BTW, I have the following, which I can test for some motor temp data points: Revolvers V2 1400, V3 1800, V2 2500, 1950 Classic and planning to pick up a V3 2200; HHCMVI ESC, HHCMV2 ESC, Castle Copperhead; Crawl Master Brushless 2700 stubby. LMK which ones you need data for.
I've been soldering for decades always tinning the iron tip. Your method is wrong, and you're wrong. Figure it out! Or are ya spare parts bud? Bahahahahahaha!

part 2: How To Buy A CrawlMaster Mini ESC Kit
True they still out of stock
Months,months and even more MONTHS... waiting for NEW STOCK CRAWLMASTER MINI!!
The BEST BRUSHLESS NOT SENSORED ESC, THAT SEEMS TO NEVER BE AVAILABLE. 🤷♂️
John Holmes the Bob Ross of soldering just ordered this esc thank you for the informative video!

Love living in the state next door. Ordered my Crawlmaster on Tuesday, in my hands on Thursday. Thanks John.

“Out there in the Wild!” All those feral wired-up beasties, crawling about thanks to evolving solder-skills!
Awesome Learning video! Very much appreciated!!! Great Job John Holmes! Love seeing your business grow!
Still awaiting the next shipment of either kit or rtr escs lol
I really, really want a kit version! Please make them available again?!
Oh man you made me laugh you reminded me of me got everything ready but the soldering iron is off the heat gun is unplugged unprepared yeah that sounds like me thanks for the video John. 🤣😂🤣💪🏻🔥😎🔥👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😜

should be fine
Took me 7min to solder ur kit. I'd love to help ya get soldered up!!
Hi, Is it acceptable to use MT60 connectors (male/female) in place of three bullets?
I’ve hard wired since I began in the 90s. Dunno why people keep the noodles of wires. More wire is more resistance.
I keep extra and 4mm bullets because I swap out systems like bad habits. On a dedicated comp rig I'll certainly hard wire
Where do I solder the capacitor?
What is the risk of using the stock bec?

You only need two wires. Or one if you combine the bec output with the esc rx plug
Info on soldiering unit please.
Do you have a rough estimate on when software will be available? Will it be programmable through the Castle USB thing, or do we need something else?
From what I understand this WONT be configurable with the castle programmer. He's making his own programmer from what I've been told

Same thing happened to mine but it won't go out of that limp mode anymore 😕
Something needs to be done about thr bad units
Part 2: Programming Options?
Where are your safety glasses, John?

@@HolmesHobbies I am using a 1800kv revolver v2 with a 6LB scx10 OG and the Injora front mounted motor and transfer case (9T Pinion)
@@HolmesHobbies check ur Facebook... I sent u the videos
Contact us through the holmeshobbies.com website please.
@@HolmesHobbies I did... waiting on a reply...
I know id screw this up hahaha

Thats not a bad idea. I wouldn't want that on the board before conformal though, it would leave a residue that would hinder the process.
Sooooo... I'm getting 22V at the BEC output. Green led is on, which I assume is good, and I get 11V at the jst output... so what did I do wrong?
3 cell battery? I don't think it can do that, it's not capable of boost. What mode is your voltmeter in
@HolmesHobbies It was in DC voltage mode. I don't know what the problem was, but I swapped in a CC BEC, and now I'm reading 5V as expected. I'm guessing the BEC was bad, and maybe the voltmeter was reading 22 mV. The early BECs were problematic, right?
@jamesalesi1305 the little standalone units? Yeah. They were iffy without load especially
@HolmesHobbies It had been so long, I forgot.
@HolmesHobbies BTW, I have the following, which I can test for some motor temp data points: Revolvers V2 1400, V3 1800, V2 2500, 1950 Classic and planning to pick up a V3 2200; HHCMVI ESC, HHCMV2 ESC, Castle Copperhead; Crawl Master Brushless 2700 stubby. LMK which ones you need data for.
Is 7t pinion ok for TRX-6 with the Revolver v2 1800kv with the esc?
I use roach clips to solder!!!!
always is, and I'm just fine with that
