Could you recommend a 540 brushless motor with low KV? I need the efficiency of a brushless motor for a solar application. I need low speed and high torque for a large boat that will be heavy. I'd like to attached a 3:1 or 4:1 reduction on a brushless 540 motor that already has low KV. I'm new at this so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Steve
WASRT Yeah... Here’s a link to one of my favorite motors. Holmes Hobbies has some of the best motors out there in my opinion. I’m sure you’ll find something they have that will work. holmeshobbies.com/motors/brushless-motors/puller-pro-series/puller-pro-v2-std/puller-pro-v2-rock-crawler-motor-standard-1800kv.html 😉👍🏻
So if all I want is max torque would this be better then something like just a straight 55t motor ? I’m wanting to build a 1-2’ tracked vehicle and I’m unsure which way to go. Thanks.
Whats in the Box Thanks for watching I appreciate it. Something like that I would probably just use the 55t that way you would still have some speed. With the gear reduction you would have to use a lower turn motor to get the same speed. If you're wanting to crawl with it only. Then you could use the gear reduction. Hope this helps. 😉👍🏻
Yeah.... here’s a link to one. GoolRC 1/3 Planetary Gear Reduction Unit for 540 Motor RC Car Metal Gear Box www.amazon.com/dp/B07RGSSX16/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_QB6Y6CRGJ3G59P5SZC8G I’ve also used this one as well. 😉👍🏻
Jebo Teya Thanks for checking it out 👍🏻 They make some noise, but for a crawler I think it sounds good 👌🏻 Check out my "The Good Stuff" Video and see what you think ✌🏻👊🏻
Joe Owen 😃Very well...... I have them in two rigs and haven’t had any issues to this point. The one in the XJ I’ve had apart to inspect and lube and looked fine. The other I haven’t had apart yet, and gets way more use 🤷🏼♂️ but still going strong. Yeah pretty good units. Thanks for checking it out 😁 I appreciate it 👌🏻👍🏻
Adrean Shimov if you're running brushed motors you want a low Turn number like a15T. If you're using brushless motors you want higher KV number. Just depends on what you wanted to do.👍🏻
@@kingstonrc329 have you tried this with sensored bl motor? I read that you mustn`t use it with brushless motors, but what about the sensored one with lower kv?
Keep it up my friend. you are doing a very good job ..
Thanks man.... I appreciate it. Thanks for checking it out. 😉👍🏻
I have never come across this before!!
What a great idea in a great video mate!!!!
ultra rc Thank you sir :-) I appreciate you watching.
Thanks for info frend... 👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾I m From malaysia
Good tips I installed a 5 to 1 gear reduction on 27 turn not fast but lots of low end control and
Wow very nice install video big thumbs up my friend xD
IN MG RC [인엠쥐 RC] Thanks I appreciate it 😃👍🏻
i i have an economical hp zp 1001. this could be as good choice to increase the torque and performance. my motor is 540 7000 rpm 10 t....
Yeah... definitely!! I love gear reduction. Thanks for checking it out. 👍🏻

Hi can I use a brushed motor with out a gearbox or a spur gear on flat ground will it effect the brushed motor
Yeah… you can do that with no problem. 👌🏻
@@kingstonrc329 will it stuff the motor up in the long run
@@TW39 Hey nothing lasts forever. 😉

so did you run the gear reduction unit through a transmission or right in a transfer case?
Nick Walter The gear reduction goes on the end of the motor then it goes in the transmission. Works great. Thanks for checking it out. 👌🏻👍🏻
@@kingstonrc329 thanks for the video! quick question: since 2017 any issues or headaches? curious about its reliability, thank you again.
@@mtzlsf No no major issues. Just maintenance every once in a while. Very reliable 😉👍🏻
@@kingstonrc329 thank you!
Can u give us a link to those
Yeah.... here’s a link to one. GoolRC 1/3 Planetary Gear Reduction Unit for 540 Motor RC Car Metal Gear Box www.amazon.com/dp/B07RGSSX16/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_QB6Y6CRGJ3G59P5SZC8G I’ve also used this one as well. 😉👍🏻
Ive heard these things are a bit noisy. Does it quiet it down when you grease it up good? Thanks for the video btw 👌🏻
Jebo Teya Thanks for checking it out 👍🏻 They make some noise, but for a crawler I think it sounds good 👌🏻 Check out my "The Good Stuff" Video and see what you think ✌🏻👊🏻
@@kingstonrc329 the good stuff
Im really need to do that fantastic thing:)
Awe_RC Yeah... gear reduction to me is the best. Your definitely not going fast. But I love the slow control you have😃👍🏻
Kingston RC 💪💪👌
I'm planning to use something like this to eliminate the spur gear.
Robert Martin Sure this would work for that. Thanks for checking it out. 👍🏻
@@kingstonrc329 Subscribed!
Robert Martin 😃 Thank you very much, I appreciate that. 👌🏻👍🏻
How is it holding up?
Joe Owen 😃Very well...... I have them in two rigs and haven’t had any issues to this point. The one in the XJ I’ve had apart to inspect and lube and looked fine. The other I haven’t had apart yet, and gets way more use 🤷🏼♂️ but still going strong. Yeah pretty good units. Thanks for checking it out 😁 I appreciate it 👌🏻👍🏻
Ok, how to calculate the motor rpm after installing the reduction unit? What 3:1 means? Motor`s RPM devided by 3?
Adrean Shimov Yes .... if the motor spins 12000 rpm. The gear reduction it will only spin 4000 rpm when mounted to the motor. Hope this helps 😃👍🏻
@@kingstonrc329 you are great man! One more thing ... what motor should i get if i want a little more speed? Thank you :)
Adrean Shimov if you're running brushed motors you want a low Turn number like a15T. If you're using brushless motors you want higher KV number. Just depends on what you wanted to do.👍🏻
@@kingstonrc329 yeah i will use this tool with brushed motor, so i guess i need lower T number for a little more speedy :) thank you
@@kingstonrc329 have you tried this with sensored bl motor? I read that you mustn`t use it with brushless motors, but what about the sensored one with lower kv?
So no need to wear ( fusion pro fusion se ) worth buying this alone can already slow crawl, brushed motor 540 crawler even fasting heart😂 6:57
I refuse to trim my shift!😁
