I'm so impressed with this setup! In this video, I install and program a Hobbywing QuicRun Fusion 1800KV Motor & ESC 2-in-1 in my Traxxas TRX-4. It's a motor and a speed control combined in one motor can! I then run it in my backyard so you can see how the FOC system works, paired with the TRX-4's cruise control feature. It's a whole new driving style! Overall, there are a lot of great things about brushless sensored motor/ESC - it is really quiet, very smooth, has a lot of low end control (and also speed!), comes with a programming card, ran cool (for my normal wear-and-tear driving), and the FOC technology was great.

Thanks to Hobbycool RC for providing this product for review. Views are my own.

  • I'm happy to see you in this rc hobby, I don't see many girls get in RC hoppy. Thanks for your Video
  • @andyeve8
    Absolutely love this. Wasn't looking to upgrade my crawler I haven't used for a while. But recently I have wondered if there was a brushless option. This turned out to be the perfect information I needed. Thank you.
  • @thelement3363
    Thank you for providing much needed clarity between buyers and sellers. I was at wits end with the 1 page instructions on this product a friend recomended your review to help. Ive collected my thoughts and we ar back in action. Thank you for the much needed tanslation and xpertis.
  • @GulliJ
    Perfect energy, so positive smiling, simple and so fresh. What a great RC videos to be share to whole fans. Thank you to be as this. And perfect timing for me as I would like a brushless on trx4. (Hesitate on how the brushed is unbreakable in crawler, underwater etc....)❣️
  • @timallen6035
    It is so awesome how far technology has come since I got my first RC car back in 1986. Yeah I'm that old. I am 55 today. LOL
  • @RCKickschannel
    The Fusion from HW was fantastic, I'm a big fan. Keep up the great content.
  • @yiarkungfu
    Thanks for showing the installation of the Fusion. I’m building a TRX4 kit and I had to flip the pinion gear because it rubbed on the plastic of the mount when in the direction outlined in the kit instructions. Great demo/testing, I’ll be watching you from now on.
  • @rptroutguy
    Watched your video and bought this combo at my local shop Sunday! It’s awesome!! I really appreciate the quality of your tutorials! You bring fun and knowledge together and inspire me to up my game!
  • @soarstar
    "Closed loop" is a feedback sensor providing rotor (spinny part of motor) to stator (non-spinny part of motor) position to the speed control, so that it can create very well-manipulated magnetic fields = better low speed control. The opposite, "open-loop" means the speed control doesn't have a feedback device to indicate the rotor / stator position. In short - sensored VS sensorless.
  • @CBScale
    This seems like the PERFECT fit for my scale build! Thank you! I’ve been trying to figure out what direction to go because I am so limited on space with my scale look goals. You totally just saved my bacon!
  • @simonz28

  • @averynelson8474
    That is really sweet upgrade! I’m glad to actually see this motor in action now I know for sure this will be the motor for my rr10 bomber project! Great video!
  • @allyoucando8486
    No matter how hard you try to find a weakness is really difficult, the motor is not perfect but is one motor well made by Hobbywing, modulation is great and performance outstanding, for now one of the best fusion motor until this day
  • @mechadroit
    Hobby wing kills it with the quick run stuff. I'd say about 70 percent of my club runs the 10bl120 esc in their club racers. So much bang for the buck
  • @shades3388
    THANK YOU!!! I've had many recommend this motor, but I could find no quality reviews on it...until You! You also had an install and program...AWESOME!!!
  • @O.L.D_RC
    I put one into a rochobby 1941 mb, and with the tires I put on it's awesome. I need to get some wheel weights, but I'm stoked with the trail driving I've done and the versatility of the system. Another killer vid! Stay well.
  • @MikeRCWorld
    Thanks a lot for this video, really good test/reviev and video. I was soo happy to see your another TRX-4 upgrade, I am running stock motor and esc too, my next upgrade is hobbywing motor. Thumbs up and happy crawling girl :-)
  • @kevinj5293
    Great video works very well also the dog was not bothered about the buggy 😊👍🐶✌
  • @steveblackbird
    Thank you for posting this vid, Definitely one of the better Fusion reviews I've watched. Bought this for my SCX10 rig as I really wanted to move away from a basic brushed to this FOC setup. Still waiting for it to be delivered. Looks like it drives amazing... and it's quiet!! Huge thanks and a big cheers from Aus!
  • @keithbutler6361
    Hi , I’ve been thinking of changing out my trx4 motor and esc and after watching your very good video I have definitely decided to buy this fusion motor , thanks for the great work and making my mind up , stay safe and all the best from the UK ...
