I have a tech question related to a recently installed MyTrickRC (TRX4) Bronco light kit. I've got everything wired up correctly but my reverse light function backwards (on with forward throttle). A while back I installed a full HH brushless kit, after removing the reverse turn Titan motor I used the HH ESC to flip the throttle (normal rotation) and get my tires spinning the correct direction. A few months ago I installed the SSD portal delete kit, tires spinning backwards again, use the Traxxas link app (more handy than castle link on my laptop) to flip the throttle again, correct tire rotation. Fast forward to more recently after installing the light kit with my throttle direction theoretically set the same as stock and my reverse lights don't work correctly. So is the light kit directly tied to the throttle input coming from the transmitter (reversed)? If I set the throttle on the transmitter back to normal and re-reverse the throttle on my ESC would that fix my reverse lights?

Yes, set the esc to refers and transmitter to forward. Right now if you set the esc's reverse to 50% it would actually affect your forward speed. Setting the transmitter to reverse throttle is pretty much never a good idea.

Okay, that's what I thought. I appreciate the advise. Like I said Traxxas link was easier than plugging into castle link and I got my truck running. I'll just have to bite the bullet and everything back to normal.

Thank you as well mikemcE, I didn't know that.

I have one question, why aren't we getting these amazing videos here on RCCrawler?? :lmao:
https://www.facebook.com/HolmesHobb...07645/?__so__=permalink&__rv__=related_videos

So is this motor okay for most light "go fasts"?

Also if we order one can we get a sticker with that lil' tugger logo? that would be awesome!

Interesting!

I checked this link for the product, not a ton of info regarding recommended usage, etc...

Would also like to know more!

Howdy - Building an Enduro kit, but I swapped in vanquish portal axles and don't know what ESC/Motor combo to run for a class 2 crawler. What say you? :)

More info:
I had the portals on my older truck that this is replacing with a 27T brushed and the gear down took my wheel speed away. I just got the axles and only ran one time with them before I called no joy on that setup. I'm very new to this hobby, so I'm not sure exactly what to do to fix it. I've heard pinions and bigger motors and I'm sure they all will work, but want to get the "proper" solution in place for the brand new build.

Well - heck, Mike - I already saw all that!

it's right at the link I included... "thumbsup"

Usually JRH includes some informal banter about how it performs, among other things. This doesn't even mention motor rpm limit or max cell count.

If you go to the motor comparison chart on his site it does mention the following:

Lil' Tugger 30t - 2200kv
Lil' Tugger 33t - 1850kv
Lil' Tugger 38t - 1500kv

So I guess that's somethin'.

I'd like to know about maybe dropping one in a MST CFX or CMX...

Makes me wish it was easier install 540-mounting pattern motors in a Barrage, too.

The lil tugger looks like a torquemaster expert with neodymium magnets for the most part.

So it will have great punch, torque and drag brake. Good for a lightweight basher or trailing.

I imagine the arm is machine wound, and that's why it costs less then the puller 400 flow.

JOHN, whats the situation with the bare phase wires on the PP 540-L 4100kV motor? Why did you decide to not terminate them in solder tabs on the can? Can they be trimmed or are they coated all the way into the can from the 75mm end point? Could this motor be ordered with longer phase wires so that it can be directly plugged into an ESC without having to make extensions? Thank you, Ed
 
It's mainly a question of how you're going to use it, and gearing.

Gear it conservatively and avoid sustained full-throttle use and it'll be golden...
 
Since your not going for an ultra light weight I would get the mamba x because it can run up to 6s. Not that I need 6s but I do like 4s.

I would also like to know more about the "Lil Tugger", specifically how it differs from the Puller 400. It looks identical, so I assume there are differences on the inside, or else the specs were copied from the Puller 400 and haven't been updated yet.

All of the brushed Puller motors have a squed armature. The lil tugger has a straight armature. Basically not as smooth startup.
