Which Motor Is Right For You | Revolver Differences Explained | Holmes Hobbies | RC Motor Guide

What about the purple ss team spec? I I found one second hand that was virtually brand new. What’s the kv or year? It just says Holmes team spec ss revolver ?

Im building a TRX6 with a highly detailed and HEAVY 3d printed body. It will also have a gooseneck trailer to haul 2 more rigs. Is this something the 540 can handle, or should I look at the revolver classic? I cant give you a weight yet, but 30+ would likely be the lighter end of the range.

I got a hh snubnose 2040kv with the crawlmaster v3 I’ve heard some people say it’s a bit Coggy? I haven’t ran it it yet but what gears are y’all running that is smooth with this setup?

What's the problem I'm using copperhead10 ESC and 2500kv motor HH revolver V2...my settings on power is 100% full throttle and 100% reverse...then when I full throttle for 2.3.sec the ESC will beep long sound and no response i need to restart again the ESC...can you help me sir.

Great video because it was exactly the information that I needed reference which motor to select for my rigs. Thank you.

Is there a way that you could just make the can bigger on that smallest one increasing the strength of the magnets by making them bigger and that would give you greater torque

What a killer video

I got the 540 2500kv for my scx10. Its a beast. Never gets hot no matter what gears. Running on 2s.

Anybody have an issue trying to create account! emails through to Holmes hobbies from the app on a phone mobile app!???
I keep getting this error code to sign up captcha when I looked this up. It says I did not check that i'm not a robot box?????? Tried calling the number no response, just asked number And just hung up on me! If anybody could help I would appreciate it thank you

They're like the turbo diesel elec motors.. Besst rc decision i ever made! John, you absolute ledgend!

Team spec 1900kv purple, in my LCG comp 2 rig and I love it.
Dual Short noise stubby 2400kv motor on axle for in comp bully rig.

Have you did speed test inrunner 3.5t 8700kv vs a outrunner 25000kv I want to try a build rc car with motor but don't know which one motor for top performance speed do tell me which one for top performance should I use please Holmes hobbies

Love these tech videos

Do you have any intention for making a revolver motor for an SCX6?

Elegant overkill....lovely term. Definitely would rather have it and not need it,than need it and be up shits creek.

So looking at a 102:1 gear reduction with 4s would the 2500kv snub or if team spec be suffice for a 5-6lb rig ? Or a smaller lightweight different transmission would put me at 67:1. (Comp rig wanting to be as lightweight as possible)

Currently running 77:1 3s and a puller pro v2 stubby 2200kv in my class 2 and love it! (Maybe more wheel speed and heavier than I need but it slow speed is still awesome)

I just purchased an OG SCX10 w/ a Comanche body. What motor would be best for this rig. Truck has aluminum beadlocks with new 1.9 Hyrax all around. It also has the 1080 Quicrun Hobbywing ESC. Thanx...

well John.. what would your kv pick be on an enduro.. I just ordered the trailwalker black weathered edition which is the Sendero with a kewl body.. and I've never had either brushless or outrigger n this rig I would love to try this out on.. love how smooth these things look to be.. my wendigo experience made me revert back to brushed on that.. with a trail master motor love it but this enduro is going to be my best crawler that might find my way into comps... n I wouldn't mind your motor n ESC thoughts on this one
..

Also, as for KV options. How do I decide from the 1800kv vs the 2040kv motor?

Hey John. What is the go to esc to use to pair with the revolvers?

Ok. I want to run a ten shooter on a copperhead 10 in my Phoenix portal. Can you save me one? A couple weeks. I plan to torture test a fully loaded Phoenix.

Great video! Currently running the 540 size Revolver, but looking for the motor for my new build so video was very helpful. I will move toward the snubnose to try something smaller. The crawler will weigh in at about 6 pounds as I am using reasonably heavy alloy axle housings. Thanks for all the great products.

Any chance V4 has 550 size 2500kv to 2800kv ? Or can I special order one? Thx!

In my trx4 wait doesn’t matter

What’s the difference between 14 pole and 10 pole revolvers?

Hi John, any esc tuning tips for a cc mamba Max mini with a puller pro 2200kv

The greatest thing about the big revolver is that i can slowcrawl my BRX01 all day in second gear, and have all the wheelspeed and torque i need without it even reaching room temperature.

Will these all work with the micro mamba v2? On topic of the mamba v2, is there any difference in the esc whether it's in a 1/18 combo vs crawler version, besides bullet size.

How does the v3 540 compare to the revolver classic?

careful. I ran a holmes motor on a stock truck. it burned up in five minutes, and they said that I should have done a gear reduction for that motor, so it wasn't covered.

1800-2500kv 4S or 3s

what kv is the holmes teamspec

Wait a minute how do I get that purple motor?

I run all three motors I'm in the 1800-2000kv on 3s but my favorite so far is the ss team spec

John - I purchased two V3 540 Revolver motors for an RC4WD Bully II MOA build. I stupidly purchased your BR Mini Dual esc to power these revolvers not realizing the BR stood for brushed. I then purchased two Castle Micro X's, but blew them both playing around with other builds. Then I tried to Mamba X's, and decided they were too big - overkill. So now I have two Sidewinder4's where I've removed the shrouds, ground down the heatsinks and glued them back to back to fit in the body of the Bully II MOA. I've yet to finish soldering the connections as I am unsure how I will connect the esc's to power (i.e., single battery to both esc's or two small batteries per esc). But in any event, when done I think this may be the only dual motor on axle build with your latest big can revolver. Thought you might get a kick out of that...

Also - I have one of your 1800kv V3 Snubnose Revolvers that is going in an all aluminum WLToys 144001 with a Mamba X for speed run testing. Question - I think I can safely run it at 4S, but what about going to 6S? Will the motor handle that for short bursts? As an aside, that will also be the only 1/14th scale speed run buggy I know of with a Revolver motor. Again - thought you'd get a kick out of that. 😁

I have a sleeper Gen7 that is about 8 pounds. It is a step below really good comp rigs but far above a normal rig. I run portals which lower the gear ratios by 50%. Would a Snubnose be appropriate for mostly bouldering? I also do steep climbs and trailing. Also, which ESC will run it the quietest? I don’t care much for whiny rigs. I am ready to buy now if you have what I need available. : )

Great video! 🏁 I watched every second and learned a lot.

We would love a crawlmaster esc with a case heatsink and fan so we can use in heavy rigs like TRX6 hauler or scx6

Hey John,could you please do a segment on cooling fans for crawlers? Neccesity? Your thoughts,facts? Please.

These product videos are great. So much of a build is the controller and motor. Between weight, size, voltage input 2 3 4s, torque, hold, start up and kv... any input is appreciated

Do you ever expect that the outrunners to replace the brushed magnum, pullers in the comp scene?

i like the classic revolvers 😑🥃

Can we get a 15-30minutes in the weeds motor topic? can John come up with something like that? on the lcg rig that he is building thoughts as to what makes a good comp rig? VS trail rig with hopes for comps

Hey John, great video, despite the odd rabbit hole! 😉 I've experimented with different kv and would say 2200-2300kv seems to be the sweet spot. Also, quick question for ya. I have a pseudo-comp rig (daily driver but set up for comps) and interested in the Team Spec SS. Rig, fully outfitted, weighs about 6lbs and wondering if the SS will tolerate it or if I should go with the standard snub nose? Thanks!

i just want the longest running rig on one batttery...

What about the 540 classic!?

I love my V3 stubby 2040kv on 3S sw4 11t 48P pinion with stock 12% stealth x gearing.

I run two snubnose with AM32 on the ESC in a cheater rig and another class one.... absolutely mind-blowing!

Hello, I would love to have a Revolver 3500 KV for 3S batteries, so that I have High Torque and Micha Power in the Wheels, is it possible to manufacture a Revolver Motor with these Characteristics????
