John Holmes is the man

[pyroM!KE]

So I have a Trx4 Sport. Just installed a sidewinder4 (castle bec) with a Holmes Revolver v2. I’ll never go brushed again. Awesome. My brother has a hobbywing axe. The Holmes paired with the sw4 Is a better setup for damn sure! And it’s a sensor less setup. Zero cogging...And the drag brake in this setup is flip over stop!

I agree 100% I like brushed waaaaay better. I didn’t turn back after trying brushless years ago. I still have old Novak sensored crawler motors. The newer stuff is incredible though. I got puller pros and daaaaamn that’s smooth. And power for days. I got a revolver too, but I’m haven’t tried it. Gonna put it in my comp truck to try and shed some weight.

I hear great things about those revolver motors, but I'll never experience it because I am too easily annoyed to listen to that whine for hours at a time. I may as well stay at home with the kids.

I find it funny that people complain about the noise on electric motors. Mostly because my other rc's are 1/5th scale gasoline 2 stroke bashers that sound like motocross bikes. lmao

I think how much noise these make depends on how you drive (and the ESC and its frequency). When just starting up and creeping super slow its quite loud, as you speed up it sounds more and more like a normal motor.

I wish I could just tune it out but I can only drive this motor for so long. Get 2 rigs running the revolver at the same time and then you really have something

If it makes you feel any better I also dont care for the sound of 2 strokes either.

I don’t think it’s any secret that I’m a big fan of the revolver. Just got done setting up a second in the trx10.2.

I tune out the sound pretty easily now but I may be used to it. Sort of remind me of a jet turbine idling. For the amount of torque and throttle control these have I’m not giving them up any time soon. Clip for reference below.

My point exactly. I could care less about the noise because the performance is so good. Nice rig btw.

[pyroM!KE]

Castle link came in today. Updated new software and adj settings.Set start power to Hi, punch control at 25%, timing at 0%. Set throttle curve @60% throttle to 30% power. Ultra smooth now!!! Not that it matters to me but with the software update and changed settings its actually a bit quieter..

If you think the SW4 / HH Revolver is a smooth combo, you need to try a SW4 / HH Crawlmaster Pro 550 12t combo. Don't dismiss brushed too quick.

[pyroM!KE]

I had a trailmaster sport 27t paired up with a tekin esc that was very smooth in it. I prefer brushless because of the better efficiency and lower maintenance. The revolver is just as smooth.

Wow until. I saw that video I'd never have believed it could be that loud, what causes this? I'll stay with my titan, last one took 18 months to fail.

[Thorsteenster]

Maybe now, but he wasn't born that way...

I forget the cause of the noise, but mine was obnoxiously loud. A friend with an old Revolver said mine was much louder. That coupled with the fact that I could never get it to stop cogging was reason enough for me to sold it.

I felt the same way when I first installed it. I nearly pulled it out that same day. But, I did some tuning and set up with it on the Mamba-X and it’s just a phenomenal crawling set up. Honestly, I hardly even notice the noise / sound any more.

[pyroM!KE]

I have the V2 revolver. Maybe setup and the fact its a V2 mine isnt annoying? IDK? Mine is just as smooth as the tekin-trailmaster sport. Zero cogging. I can literally constantly crawl under 2 feet in a minute very smoothly no stopping..

[Topher Builds]

I’ve not had any cogging issues either and it is quite smooth. Definitely spent a little time tuning it on the mamba x with the throttle curve and whatnot but it’s not too unlike how I have my slate motor set up. Trying to find clips with a little more fine throttle control, here’s one... this is a V1, I have a V2 in the trx10.2 that’s in progress.

Lots of torque and slow wheelspeed here

I couldn't figure out the cogging either. I was as baffled as everybody else since so many people praise the Revolver's smoothness. Holmes tested the first motor, deemed it out of spec and sent me a replacement. It really wasn't any better even after trying their suggested ESC settings. The sound turned me off anyway so I gave up and sold it.
