    ive used this combo but with the higher 8200 kv. I over geared it though to a 21T. It got hot but boy was it moving. You should be safe on 2s up to a 21-22T with the 5300kv! On 3S watch temp, I wouldn't bash with a 3s tho! The only thing with that 0808 motor is the 2mm shaft. I tends to snap sometimes! If that happens grab you a 380 brushless motor with a 3.175 shaft. Hot racing makes 0.5mod 3.175 pinions too! Awesome video. subbed my brotha!

    Use the 8200 kv or new 8450kv the 8200 pulls the tires off the ground on demand on my granite grom. Arrma has a esc plate for the brushless conversion already too. You may have to trim a corner for the motor to fit though.

    what motor mount did you use, i bought the same motor and esc, the problem is the bolt holes dont line up with the the motor

  • @MrMeDos

    @MrMeDos

    2 ай бұрын

    Your referring to the motor mount? If so, it does line up, its the widest holes on the motor. Not the larger holes, but the widest of the smaller holes. If that makes since. Align the motor so the wires are facing more toward the outside frame of the car and it should bolt right on. If you have the 5300kv motor.. if you have the 5600kv or 4400kv ir 6350kv motor you will want the motor lead facing the driveshaft and you will have to modify(cut) the cover so it will fit over the leads. Other opinion is to get a universal motor mount.

    Sorry to hear that bro, no no melting of wires, what size pinion are you running? 18T? Its aggressively geared for bashing more for speed runs. you may want to drop the pinion to a 16T. also zip tie your wires if you can. I realized the first run it was hot , but the next few runs its avg around 147-150 degrees. Also want to make sure your car is not to heavy. I recently took this setup out of the typhon and put it in my granite grom because all the upgrades to my typhon made it to heavy for the 0808 motor, I will have a new vid up shortly.

    Great work bro!! With these brushless systems, especially on the Groms…. Work on not “driving digital”. Be smoooooth on the throttle! The Mamba Micro is sensored as well, so it’s tunable and driving smooth makes it actually accelerate harder and go faster on the top end! I’ll be going with the Mamba Micro in my Mojave Grom I just got. Video coming in the near future! Enjoy the hobby & have FUN, that’s what it’s all about! God bless!
