John is like the Ron Burgundy of rc lol guy is hilarious 😅

Dig the humor; we all need it when playing with, er, "working on" scale trucks.

A tootsie pop reference AND a killer calculator watch?! Man, you're so old school it makes me feel young!!

Awesome video. Can't wait to see what it does.

This has been my comp truck for the lasts 2 years I have many trucks to choose from! But the Trailwalker was a easy platform to shorten the body!!! Plus pushing the truck 540 5 slot expert. Hobby wing 1080 makes a perfect Crawler package

I like the JIS B 4633 type phillips head...

Good one Count John!! 😜😂 Thanks for your good instruction with great humor!!! You've really helped me, with a GOOD closeup look in the Transmission. I can tell that you're an old school RC'er like me. I started in 1984, and Raced Buggies with Team Associated... So I'm well aware of the original 6 gear and the Stealth 3 gear. 😉 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

Soon as you said, “one!” I knew you were doing the Tootsie Pop owl. I always count things like that and nobody knows what the fuck I’m doing.

I own vanquish full tool kit metric and standard but that’s the only one I broke but bent the 2.0

I mainly use M I P's but I've bought the vanquish set, yeah that 1.5 bro the first one bought a second one and broke it, i'll stick to my M I P 's I like to grip of the handles better

I don't care what people call it, it's mine and I love it. Yeah again appreciate you sharing

I bought this trans to put in my Ascender. When I finally get around to it... Too busy driving my Bomber with your 540L motor on 3s and MMX. 4s next? More broken parts to come!

Love the videos Mr. Holmes. Always informative thank you for your time! As a side note, what product of yours would you compare to the mamba X esc? Seems I have been having some problems with start up with the mamba as well as the sidewinder. I would love to support your company and would love to test some of your esc’s. I am running a brawler, (bash/crawler) style truck, trx4 with very high speed. I love the speed however I would also like to get more low end control. Thank you John for all that you do fo us consumers. Bangarang!

The BLE is the Holmes Brushless ESC, but it's pretty much out of stock at this point, and end of life also. They are now recommending the Mamba X for sensored brushless.

We don't currently have a brushless ESC, but working on it. The BLE was our last one, but the hardware was getting very outdated and we couldn't get further software work done through Castle.

Stock overdrive for me good for the time being! Love the EnDuro SenDero.. Going to see this truck grow in the future!! Traxxas Trx4! Has a good competitor . Finally. I HAVE the trx4 sport👊. The EnDuro blows my mind NC ❤ MOUNTAINS back yard RC.AND MORE. 🖒🖒🖒🖒🤔🏞

With the motor facing forward what would the motor rotation be? I'm looking to pick up a CrawlMaster Pro and would prefer to get the correct rotation version vs. switching the leads. Also will a 550 CrawlMaster Pro fit in the forward orientation? Thanks

Can you put the default 6% to the back and the 12 to the front are only change out the front

@puzzleluvr

I would think that would negate the effect, and you'd end up with only a 6% difference.

No the idlers gears are driven by the NOT changed.

You can't have been impregnated while scissoring they don't go together, however your gears may be impregnated while inserting into their housings.

2.5 is my fav..u can go full torque without stripping..😁 MIPs and Tekno drivers 👍🏻

its resin gears ,impossible to melt down at any heat ;)(so i ve heard)

Would your PULLER PRO BL 540 STANDARD 2200kv be a good fit and is your BR-XL both brushless and brushed?

@HolmesHobbies

BRXL is brushed only. The 2200 puller stubby or standard paired with a mamba X would be a really great fit for this vehicle too.

Tootsie Pop Owl is a good guess if you never watched Sesame Street. John is doing the "Count" from Sesame Street. The Count is a Muppet vampire, like Count Dracula, that lives only to count numbers. Well.... and probably drink blood once in a while, you know, so he can live, and keep counting numbers. Blaa Ha Ha Ha Haaaa !

I respectfully disagree, good Sir. Being familiar with both the owl and The Count I can see how one could confuse the two. The giveaway is in how he says the number two, "ta-hoo" (the owl) vs The Count's forceful "TOOH!". Edit: Just as I was posting my comment, John did indeed mimic The Count as he reassembles the transmission at the end of the video. My apologies, good Sir!

Hahaha I love how you troll for comments. “I’ll just say something I know as if I don’t know so folks run to the comments to inform me.”

The front goes faster. This tightens steering radius, sucks the rig to the rocks, and can increase traction.

I’m attempting this.. And nothing but problems…. I’d suggest drilling out the holes on the plastic gear.. Stripping-out the screws…. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Thanks, was lazy and didn't want to read the manual.

John , John, John ! That is an RTR, not a kit. IF it was a kit that OD gear would be machined. Carry on !
