    It's no fun if everyone does the same thing! I've been waiting for this little system to go on sale to see what sort of performance I can squeeze out of that little motor! Thanks for your comment.

    Nice review, thank you. The new FCX24m might just make this setup relevant..

    Thanks mate! Yeah it's definitely a setup that could be useful for some trucks, mainly when space is a concern and you need an ultra compact brushless motor. It actually crawls very well, I'm impressed with it!

    Yeah I'd imagine they will clear them all out at that price because the system was not a good seller!

    If it works for you then that's awesome! I didn't love the system running the stock controller, I guess it depends on your truck and terrain and like you said your expectations! Thanks for your comment 👍

    A friend of mine bought one a while ago..might be OK for a small car or boat but there is NO WAY TO PROGRAM IT...a total waste of money unless you want to pay $50 for a brushless motor 😉

    Totally agree mate, go spend your 50 bucks at Mofo RC! I picked this up to test the motor out in this project, and I'm impressed with the motor when running with a good ESC 👍 I hadn't seen anyone else test the full capability of this motor before, I do these things for fun and so you don't have too 🤣 Thanks for watching !

    Yeah, I knew going in that the ESC was the culprit for the poor performance and that the little motor had more to give, so I gave it a shot! I'm genuinely surprised by how good this little motor is, perfect in a lightweight build! Thanks for your comment!

    Nice set up man, there are a few diff esc's now to choose from out there. That lil motor seems to do pretty dang well too. I dig how its a nice fit with stock gear. I think those trenchers are thee best tire out there atm. Be awesome if they increased em to around 62mm though :)

    I do like the Furitek stuff, the app is a little glitchy, maybe that's just my crappy phone? I like that the Dinky RC is a little more universal, it seems to be able to get good results with any motor you throw at it! Some people won't be a fan of the programming experience using a Desktop/Laptop computer, it's less convenient that with an app.

    I already had the Dinky ESC and like I said In the video I've wanted to test this little motor since it came out, it recently went on sale so I grabbed one! This video is not intended to be a brushless motor buying guide, but rather to show what this little motor is capable of and I have fun doing these experiments! Spend all your lunch money on Furitek, I'm cool with it just make sure you get outside and have fun! Thanks for your comment!
