| Re: Tekin, castle and Holmes oh my! Your welcome, I always like to support the ones who are making our hobby the best it can be. The Holmes motor just seems lime the right fit for what I’m looking for. Btw most of the YouTube videos I watch were yours. Very good and very technical and very well explained. Reminds me of when the import car magazine sport compact car was around. Their writers explained stuff in a very technical way that could be easily understood. Keep up the gray work.

The statement by itself, yes it has the wiggle room tacked on. Taken in the context of this thread, implies that only tekin is in the subset of companies that developed 4 to 6s systems, when all three have to some degree. Also a very good point. It's hard to say intent. Last edited by JohnRobHolmes; 08-31-2019 at 05:59 PM. |

The hobbywing AXE has a drag brake setting that will apply instantly when going slow and then varies the application of the brake based on speed so it doesn’t lock up when coming off high speed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

Mamba ESCs do the the same thing, using the drag brake ramp as well as active freewheeling feature. | |

I placed my order today from rpp (15% off for Labor Day). Castle mamba x, Holmes 2700kv puller Pro standard size and a b-link. I liked the idea of changing the settings on my phone while I’m out in the field. The main reason I didn’t consider the hobbywing axe system is the whole motor issue that everyone talks about. I didn’t like being tied down to on motor brand. I’m excited for the Holmes motor, I’ve never owned a Holmes product but I’ve only seen people love them. I had a tekin fxr with one of their 55t motors back in the day, but this will be my first trip into a high end brushless crawler motor and esc combo.

Amongst Tekin, Castle and Holmes, Axe should just keep quiet and watch only because its only 3s capable. But its alright on its own. Not only do we learn about crawlers' techs but we r also picking up grammer lessons FOC (free of charge n not field oriented controls) as for non native speaker like myself! thanks!

First off, I know on-road & overpass racing...but, when it comes to crawlers, I'll admit I'm a total nOOb. That being said, I'm about to enter the crawler would, be with my purchase of the new Axial Capra 1.9, which will be used 60-75% for "rock racing" (more accurately, "crawler drag racing"), and 25-40% rock/trail crawling. And, yes, I do realize these two uses are somewhat in contrast to each other, which kind-of complicates the ESC/motor choice problem. I've already contacted John Robert Holmes, via his website, but thought I'd pose a similar question here. Initially, I had no clue what to get. Then (primarily because all my other vehicles have Hobbywing ESCs) I decided on the AXE FOC System. Then, because of "problems" with the AXE, I was back a strap, not knowing what to get. Thankfully, because of this thread, and threads on various forums, I've been able to do some research. For the ESC, I think I've finally decided on the CC Mamba X. As for a motor, that's where I'm still undecided. As of right now, I'm thinking either the Tekin ROC412 (2300kV), or Holmes Puller Pro (2700kV)...unless anyone can highly-recommend other possibilities. If no other options can be given, between these two motors (being used with the Mamba X), which would be the better choice? Additionally, what would the advantages/disadvantages be of each (when used with the Mamba X)? For those replying, please, only reply if you have actually used both motors. This will help to alleviate any bias, such as usually found by those who have only used one of them. Last edited by Panther6834; 09-28-2019 at 02:10 AM. |

| Re: Tekin, castle and Holmes oh my! I can second this. But being that the Capra is a smaller vehicle, I went with the Puller Stubby 2200kv.

A ROC will have stronger drag and torque density. A Puller stubby will start smoother and slower. A Puller 540 standard will have more torque than both and start just a hair faster than the stubby, but still considerably smoother than the roc.
