thanks for making this video. My 4ws Capra arrives today and I was curious about being able to use a fusion. PLBTF 2022 was a blast. Maybe I'll see you out there next year.
I actually do. I like the space savings of the fusion, and I don't use some of the other programmable features that the Axe has. The Fusion basically covers all I would need for crawling and I definitely like the fact that I don't need to worry about putting the ESC somewhere.
@RevolutionX actually picked up a vitavon transmission. Am running a 9 tooth with underdrive. The 8 tooth was loud as he'll. The 9 tooth runs really quiet
My memory sucks, but I don't believe I needed to buy any screws. I'm pretty sure you can re-use everything you already have. I think some screws and lock-nuts are provided for the link mounts, but other than that, you should have everything.
No, you'll run into issues with the link mounts. Well actually it depends on if you have the older Fusions or the newer fusions. The older Fusions were a little longer and wouldn't fit unless you use an aftermarket skid. The newer Fusions are shorter, and those might actually fit.
@@RevolutionX I actually put in the newer one last night but had to shave the link down a little more than I would have liked. It works but I’m mentally prepared for it the plastic to break after a hard fall lol.
I installed the Spare Time Hobby flat skid with an Element Stealth X trans. and new Hobbywing Fusion SE 1800kv.
Awesome, that should be a great setup! 🤙

If you dumb thosed button head screws that attach the skid to the cage and replace them with SHCS you get twice the size allen key socket
What is SHCS.
I’m building my first one now and already stripped one of those screws

Did you like the fusion more than the axe in the end? Pros and cons to both. Those were the two options I was going for

I like those panels! where did you get them?
I painted them! This was a kit build. The panels come clear. 🤙
now to figure out how to gear it down below an 11 tooth. i ordered underdrive diff gears.
You can get it down to 10t if you use a different screw with a smaller head for the motor mount.

@@travisgross9570 that'll work!
Connecting the Vader skid back to the car (4 screws ) are they the original screws or do you get new 1s with the skid?
They are the original screws.
Are there any additional screws that you need to buy?
My memory sucks, but I don't believe I needed to buy any screws. I'm pretty sure you can re-use everything you already have. I think some screws and lock-nuts are provided for the link mounts, but other than that, you should have everything.
Will the new 2300 fit into the factory skid?
I don't know for sure, but if it's the size of a 540 can it should.
So the Hobbywing fusion 540 fits in the stock skid?
No, you'll run into issues with the link mounts. Well actually it depends on if you have the older Fusions or the newer fusions. The older Fusions were a little longer and wouldn't fit unless you use an aftermarket skid. The newer Fusions are shorter, and those might actually fit.

Hey, what kind of bit did you use to remove the bottom links inside the skid? The ones at 5:02
I used my MIP 1.5mm speed bit.
