Those Holmes motors are great and honestly with less fan holes there’s less chances of getting sand in it

Could definitely hear the difference in strain on the motor

Awesome video excellent comparison seams like a great motor and for the price enough said.

Holmes has excellent customer service too! It was so fast and friendly I felt weird, like I time traveled.

Hey man I seen you put the trail master in a gen 7 Redcat, do you happen to know if the crawlmaster expert 540 13T would also mount and would that be a good choice for crawling or do you have a better recommendation in that price range that’ll mount on a gen 7? Thanks in advance!

Thanx for the great video!!! My Bronco just didn't agree with running in the snow yesterday, so I've been exploring my options on new motors. After seeing numerous videos, Holmes Hobbies is the way I'm going to go. Again Thank You!!!

Cool, Thanx for the heads-up on the new release👍👍 I'm about 10 mins away from HobbyTown, but I'll definitely pick up a weT when they hit the rack, just to have a spare at the ready. Thanx again!!!

My Titan just died, so I just ordered the trail master. I can’t wait to get it.

Very cool comparison brotha! 👍👍👊👊📹📹

Do you flip the wires to run reverse? Sorry new to the game

Nice budget tipp!

I've been waiting for this comparison. I do have a Mamba X in my TRX4 but I still run the stock brushed motor. I was considering "upgrading" to the Holmes 550 Sport but I see there's no need to in my case. As always, great video!!👍

When you do kill the stock motor, go with the holmes replacement, I really did have fun with the truck after the recording was done and with throttle epa turned up it had no lack of power, really impressive to me.

Great video no music and the motor in my TRX4 is still good but I blew out the two brushed motors in my E Revo so I will give this one a try I am impressed with the bearing in the front of the motor I wonder what the top speed on the TRX4 is with this motor compared to the stock one

Holmes just came out with a 12T motor but they are built for crawlers. Integy makes great brushed motors as well as several others. I can provide an eBay link if you would like.

HH.. slightly faster, and quieter. Need to devise a way to test the torque difference. Like that you are offering up these comparison videos, I was commenting earlier on another channel about people needing to do research before they outright call something junk.

from what I understand, its a feature that allows the esc to actively give throttle in the opposite way the vehicle is trying to roll, I have never used one of his esc's so I have no hands on experience with it. Let me know how it works please.

Ive had my trx4 Bronco going on 4 months now and the titan is still running strong. I cant stay out of water and i run it hard on 3s everytime. I do run clean water threw it after and oil the rear bushing but i can see some rust inside. Its going strong and when i does go i have the trailmaster waiting to go in. Good video and i like the little extra torque this motor provides! I have the 540 version in my custom trail truck redcat everest 10 and its far better then the rc4wd 35T motor i killed. Plus John seems like a good dude so always like supporting guys like him over the big companies! It will be getting a brushless system eventually and it will be an esc that can run brushed to like the mamba. I love the feel of the brushed motors but i haven't had a crawler specific brushless system me so maybe I like that more. Which do you prefer in your trx4 and other crawlers for that matter?

Contacted Holmes Hobbies directly. They turn the same speed because of the KV rating and number of turns. They do produce a bit more torque than the Traxxas model because of the number of slots and better quality internals, but they produce the same rpm as one another. I'm gonna try one for the reasons mentioned above. Hope this helps.

My Mercedes G500 TRX-4 had it's final run with it's original motor today... Lasted 15 metres before white smoke started billowing out from underneath... That engine made around 3,900km's within the past 16 months, it did well and has now earned its rest. Now I need a new engine...

Hobby Holmes easily climbs at same speed, you have suspension dialed in , spur gear ? Tire combo?

Chris Ennis the Radon motor is weak. The longer armature of the 550 works best and the portal gears help the motor out. The older Trailmaster Sport 550 21t has more low end torque according to Holmes but the Crawlmaster 5slot is smoother. Can’t go wrong with either of them
