Hobbywing 550 Axe brushless motor review

I just got my 550/3300kv from Hobbywing. To replace the 540/2300kv that came in my ‘Gen8 Axe’. Geared it down from 17T to 12T pinion & I love it! Even with throttle matching turned to low, there’s not many obstacles that’ll stop it from crawling slow! So much torque!!! The motor is a beast! Even gearing it down it still keeps up with my TRX in high gear. Not only would I recommend an AXE FOC combo for a crawler? I’d go as far as saying: I wasn’t really crawling till I had one! 👍👌🤘 If you don’t want to spend the dough on a sensord system for your crawler? Then stay brushed and get a hobbywing 1080 ESC!

Have the axe 3300kv on my trx6 & it weighs a lot, but with that motor, it still flies! That rig of mine has like brass weights on the front, spare wheel at the back and accessories in the bed with roof racks too! Loving it

Thank you for all the valuable input Brother of RC!! Im ordering mine asap

Just called amain Chico and ordered the 550 3300 to pick up tommorow!! I almost went with the fusion 2 in1 ,but I just watched your video on that and decided I needed more wheel speed for trails. Thanks your the go to guy.👍😄

I just put a similar Brushless Mamba X Crawler combo in a TRX Sport Kit. Lots of control ,and it rips when you want it to. Curious to see how this one compares, and might give it a go on my next build. Thanks for the great review!

I just ordered the 550 axe combo, look forward to using it in a TRX4 sport

Thank you...I love your videos...I haven't done RC for 5 years.. But now im back...lol

I love this system, I got the 540 2300 KV in my VS410 Pro, really love the braking system , specially down hill awesome control appreciate you sharing, i'll watch for the next video , got the app pretty easy to use

Enjoying the channel and always tune in to see what's up.. Had my capra out again today(2nd run) and really like the Axe system, auto drag brake is amazing, Nice smooth deceleration and no more endo's when giving it a little blast, and then back to full blown superior hill hold on the rocks. Certainly won't stop me purchasing HW 1080's and brushed motors but nice to have one. Hobbywing definitely need to revisit the sensor cable plug for easier mounting and install configuration in tight places like Capra. Cheers mate 👍

I just purchased my 2nd AXE FOC R2 system, this one for my RYFT Portal Crawler, the 550 3300kv.

Maaaan I love this channel!!!! I haven't even bought my TRX yet and I've already learnt so much from this channel!

I’ve had the 2300 axe setup in my trx4 for over a year it was expensive but it has transformed the car

I'm going to buy the 540 1200kv to go in my grand hauler, it will give really smooth quiet low speed running.

It’s 2023 and i bought another 3300kv for another rig, just how good this is!

Thank you for the great video. I'll cheer you on!! I will be your fan. You will be my fan. I will share information with you when we are shooting the video.

I put this system in my TRX-4 Bronco with an 11 tooth pinion. The truck can crawl very slow and still has enough punch to drag the back bumper if there is sufficient traction. The auto drag brake is very effective, I highly recommend using this setting.

Thanks for the video, could you make video for maintenance it? And what is look like inside the brushless motor, thank u

Pretty amazing system, dude! It really looks and sounds fantastic! 😃

You sold me bro im going to my hobby shop tomorrow and getting two

I just ordered this system for my brx01 I ordered with the Toyota LC70 body set with all the options.
