"Most" RC trucks and such usually run in "normal" direction. The Mamba comes preset to direction: "normal". What are you putting it in? Also remember as a temporary fix you can reverse the throttle channel in your transmitter. The only truck/crawler that I currently own that runs a reverse direction motor is an Axial Capra. | |

Your welcome, It is best to do it in the ESC, but it wont ruin anything to temporarily reverse the throttle. Just change the ESC when you get the dongle. You will have better throttle resolution with it reversed in the ESC.

Probably something 1/5 scale. Probably $5k USD? Depends if you're custom built or off the shelf. Rock crawlers are slow because they're supposed to be. Some might have a top speed of 2-3km/h and some might go 20-25km/h You're asking questions that there isn't really a 'perfect' answer for. | |

Question with charging FlyskyGT5 Lipo battery. I have labeled 2s 1500mah generic battery for my Tx. I charge it at 1.5v 1500cap with a typical four button charger. When it is finished cells are at 4.2 and balanced but the charger says it is only putting 549mah each time I charge it. Is this all it will take? Is this battery mislabeled/sold as 1500mah?

Hey John, Just curious, given the increasing popularity in no prep RC drag racing, have you given any thought to making a drag race brushless motor? |

| Drag Brake
7.4lb Capra with 4ws and SuperShafty Axles Crawlmaster 16t Pro Mamba X 3s 50C 9T Pinion Watched your video on setup. Current Settings Brake Amount 100% Drag Brake 100% Crawler Full-On Drag Brake Ramp Disabled (Intantaneous) Brake will not hold the truck. It isn't any better than the HW1080 I just replaced. I have an AXE 550 2700kv in a 9lb TRX and if the tires will stick, the brake will hold. Hoping for the same performance in the Capra. Any suggestions? Appreciate it.

Crawlmasters have weaker brakes then a torquemaster plus Tha Capra has taller gears which make it harder on the drag brake. Softer foams might help. Too much drag sends power through the motor. It basically just turns into heat, that might become an issue. The Holmes hobbies esc's had an active drag brake. So maybe they would hold better. I'm not an expert on those. It's probably just be the crawlmaster you're using with the Capra gearing. __________________________ Handy gearing spreadsheet |

Thanks for the response. I took my HW Axe 550 I had in my trx and put it in the Capra. That brake is super duper and with a 9t pinion the 2700 has tons of low end. Problem solved but it was disappointing. I’ll likely put the Mamba X in the Trx and add a pro puller or something like that. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Just came across this vid of a torque pull test of the SHV500V3. This servo pulled exactly what it claims. Only a couple of servos have pulled anywhere near it's claims in the many servos he tested. My questions are, is his test rig trustable on what it is reading? And, Is there an industry standard test? And How do you at HH test them? And btw, this is my next xmaxx servo when the 2085x dies... https://youtu.be/trgpe-b84PM |

I believe this guy is an honest reviewer. I'm actually debating with someone about his test equipment. He is saying the bend in the servo pull arm is causing lower readings. I was wanting to know from an expert if his rig is accurate, and how they do it at HH. Sent from my moto e5 cruise using Tapatalk |
