- In this video, I test and review a Tekin G4-R2 Elite motor. I test the amperage, weight, and the rotor strength. Then I compare the results to some of the most popular race motors on the market. Stay until the end for a special feature.
Great job as usual BUD!!!!!
Thank you . Your compliment is greatly appreciated.
I'm already looking forward to your reviews and your 2024 list big help in picking a 17.5 motor in a market that's flooded with a bunch of bs. Thanks for all the hard work man!!!!!!!
Thank you, and you are welcome. I'm still thinking about what motor is next.
@wutupclegg6618 I know you buy your own motors, but if you have the chance a team exalt might be an interesting look the guys at my local hobby shop just started carrying them and said some of the guys at trinity started this brand.
@@jamisonsenitz2528 I just might have to research them. Thank you.
Just bought this motor for my b7, running the 17.5. Powering it with a team powers 200 amp esc. Hope it’s a good combo. Always been a fan of Tekin
It's a great combo.
I am also a big fan of Tekin. They did a good job with this motor.
@@wutupclegg6618 got my motor and raced my car Friday night. And it is exactly as what you described. A little slower with the same gearing compared to my last motor however switched from a 30 to 32 pinion and the car rips faster than before and the motor temps are looking great. Alot of torque. Thanks again for the video very helpful. Set TQ for the main
@@scott6074 I'm glad it worked out. It's a pretty good motor.
great job again
Thank you, brother.
Thanks for the review on our SPEC-R2!
My pleasure. I can't wait to test my next motor. I just need to decide on which one. Maybe Muchmore, Maclan, or Team powers. Not sure.
Hobbywing G4R
@@MX-CO Nah.
@@TyTekinCampbell I will try a Tekin
Your motor reviews are fantastic! Thanks so much! Is it possible to do a review on the new ORCA Blitreme 3?
Thank you. I will look into it. I'm trying to gather more info on what motors are the most popular.
Thanks dude. Great data. Seems like a powerful motor. Would you be able to make a video testing each of the motors out in a 2wd with a good driver to compare the differences on-track? Would be even more awesome. 🙂
That is a thought, but everyone has a different driving style and different motor will work best on different tracks. I'm working on a gadget that will help narrow things down more.
@@wutupclegg6618Definitely agree re:driving styles and tracks. even though you and I believe in this
type of scientific approach you also acknowledge that there are different ways to interpret the same data.
I think if you give people that context and explain where each motor has strengths and weaknesses that this is as much about education as it is about buying what is the 'best' motor for us that people will appreciate this.
Anyways, thanks again for all your work.
@@grantoverend1 I have found that small twisty tracks like the slower torquey motors. In this hobby, I have learned to never state something without, first, mentioning that it is a personal opinion. LOL...
StephenR on RCTech just tested the 17.5T of these Elite, 253W @ 50 deg. Top of their charts ahead of Motiv MC5 249w @ 50 deg, Team Powers Actinium V5 248W @42 deg, Hobbywing G4 244W @ 46 deg.
Tekin came out with a really good motor this year. My personal opinion is, it's in the top 3, for sure.
What do you think is the top 13.5t this year?
What's the best 21.5? I'm running off road clay high grip. 😊 thanks
@@MX-CO Any one of Tekin, Motiv, Team Powers, Hobbywing will be excellent for 13.5T, 17.5T, 21.5T. Most use the same rotor and stator, and just change the number of windings. I noticed there's some new motors on the ROAR approved list like the Hobbywing V10 G4R 21.5 and Team Powers Actinium V5S 21.5 (I can't find this anywhere yet).
@@CraigOverend Thanks
I need some help please. I’m doing 17.5t stock class buggy racing but the motors do not have to be roar approved. Is there any advantage in replacing my Hobbywing V10 G4 with any outlaw motor?
An outlaw has a lot more torque. It can be geared to go much faster than a ROAR legal motor. As long as it's a name brand outlaw.
Thanks. Probably Hobbywing.
Any chance you could review the new hobbywing v10 G4r?
That is on my list. More likely to be my next purchase.
Anyone in Reno Nevada? Im new at this and need help getting a car set up for racing?
Check RCTech.com. there are quite a few from Reno on there.
OK thank you
😁A Tekin R2? They missed an opportunity to make a D2 version. 😁
LOL... Maybe they should make that in the 350 size.
Im looking for a 17.5 what brand and models would you recommend for a beginner racer?
What surface are you racing on? Even though you're a rooking, having the best motor is still a good thing. You just tune it to your comfort level and it will allow you to advance quickly. From all the ones I tested, I have heard the most positive reviews on the Surpass V6 Stock Spec. In fact, I haven't heard any bad feedback about them. However, the other motors, in my tests, are very good. Second, I would choose the Tekin G4 R2 Elite. Then again, it does depend on the surface you are racing on.
@wutupclegg6618 Thanks our local track is Hard Clay indoors. It's called Whip it Raceway ( there are RUclips videos of it)
I was leaning towards hobbywing motor and speed control (I need both) but I'm open to suggestions. I also need a shorty lipo 2s
Where can I get the 3d printed mount?
I purchased all the equipment, except for the Tunalyzer, from WMHracing.com
I can send you a r1 Volta to test
Shoot me an email.
@@wutupclegg6618 I can’t seem to find your email
I run one of these in wheeler. Imo its a dog.
Do you run the Elite version or the spec version. I can see the spec motor being a dog. It comes with the weaker rotor.
Do you have the Elite version or the Spec version. I can see the Spec being a dog. It comes with the weaker rotor.
@@wutupclegg6618 It's the Elite version. I traded for it to give it a shot. I went with a Surpass Rocket V6 13.5 because I have been very pleased with my 17.5 Surpass I have been running.
@@wutupclegg6618 I have also ran a Reds 13.5 and was not impressed. We as in me and my son have been super happy with Surpass motors and have turned some people on to them. Our 17.5 buggy is easily the fastest at our track. Dollar for dollar Surpass motors are on point for us.
