The reason your car sounds like that is because your gear mesh is too tight

Just got the fusion pro 2300kv motor and ESC for my trx4 today, threw on some proline hyrax predator compound tires. Thing is an absolute beast, crawls anything at any pace you want and the built in bec gave my upgraded steering servo the power it needs, super fast and strong now.

Got the green one put in the same motor and servo and added metal rims with wheel weights....it's a beast love it

For sure, it’s a big truck so having some extra power doesn’t hurt. Now I need a drift car 😎🤗

I was into R/C cars and truck with a dealership in the 80's tell 1996. We started out racing with the Grasshoppers cars and the last of it was with the Traxes Blue Eagles. Monster truck where Traxxas Sledge Hammes, and Tamiya Clod Busters. Back then we could buy a Traxxas Hawk with bearings, brushed motors build it ourselves with 2 -NICAD batteries, charger and radio for under $300.00 dollars. I didn't leave the hobby it left me. I really don't know how people can afford the Hobby anymore. I loved them all like I said the hobby left me. Some bodies got a lot more money than I'll ever have. Old Combat Vet From 1970.

The axe setup is a great powerful motor, but these fusion pros are even smoother and just as powerful.

I have a gen8 version1 that makes same sound. I packed the trans, gearbox, and diffs with grease it helps a bit. I put the 1800 kv version in mine but then they announced the 2300 kv 2 weeks later… grrr.

Nice video, thx for the upload. Is that the same program card as the 1080 ESC? I don't think it's Loud bcz of the motor, I think it's just the Gen8. Mine is still stock and just as loud.

It's the same program card but you have to use the new programming sticker sheet that comes with the fusion pro because the programming is completely different, otherwise you'll be all messed up if you try programming a fusion Pro directly from the 1080 quickrun card . Fusion pro has 13 parameters of tuning just make sure you use the new sheet

Do the receipt trick to mesh the gears

definetly gear mesh to tight thats the sound its making.

Will the Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion PRO 2300KV FOC System 2in1 also fit in a redcat gen7 sport.

😉👍

I noticed you put your stock pinion back on backwards on the new motor. Maybe that's why it sounds like something is wrong??

I have a redcat gen 9 and forward is so loud, while reverse, is smooth and silent. Ive heard several othors state the same. Ant suggestions or thoufhts? Thanks everyone!

You didn't set the gear mesh when you installed the pinion gear, and you didn't centre the servo before you installed it. also, set the end points on the servo before you kill it.

Can that setup be run with NiHM batteries?

How would you connect an holmes Hobbies SHV800 servo to that motor?

You can change just the motor, plugs right into the receiver and ESC is built in to motor so you can remove the old ESC. Highly recommended upgrade.
