ive used this combo but with the higher 8200 kv. I over geared it though to a 21T. It got hot but boy was it moving. You should be safe on 2s up to a 21-22T with the 5300kv! On 3S watch temp, I wouldn't bash with a 3s tho! The only thing with that 0808 motor is the 2mm shaft. I tends to snap sometimes! If that happens grab you a 380 brushless motor with a 3.175 shaft. Hot racing makes 0.5mod 3.175 pinions too! Awesome video. subbed my brotha!

use can drill that set screw out of that pinion or cut it off with a dremel ! also you might want to invest in a vise if your gonna apply downward pressure!

Thanks for this video. I’m trying to see what brushless system I want in mine.

[AaronsRCs]

That's the correct esc but that motor is for lighter cars like the losi mini b. Castle has a motor slightly bigger I have it in my groms. 10series castle motors check it out.

Cool little buggy those little motors are more powerful than you think but lots of fun thx for sharing

Hey buddy how are you just want to make a comment i think arrma should make a slipper for the grom it would help for a number of reasons bo more stripped diffs would be a good reason 😮😊👍

broken shafts on two of those. upgraded to the 1020 I believe it was with 1/8 shaft

But my finger are domage very bad my alen have cross my finger

Next time taking off a pinion use heat from a heat gun to warm it up because there's loctite on that pin

[damaylaphoenix]

might is so quiet, you would think my pinion and spur were plastic!

Ez run has a 7800kv that is even smaller than that and you should be able to keep the fan

[TheGordo]

I installed the same set up on mine after watching your video, I’m having some issues with the motor getting super hot after 3 minutes of run time. It even melted the wires. Have you had the same issue ?

[rcimposter]

I have try 2040motor 3900kv and is fucking loud and hard to keep strait on 3s on this typhon grom

[clarkkent]

Use the 8200 kv or new 8450kv the 8200 pulls the tires off the ground on demand on my granite grom. Arrma has a esc plate for the brushless conversion already too. You may have to trim a corner for the motor to fit though.

[richardbrown]

Maybe because I'm older and I've been doing rc cars for 20 years now but my grom is fast enough for me I just wish the car was more tunable like shock position and camber 😁👍

[fritzslusser]

i melted a 6000kv spectra firma esc motor combo. spectra receiver and transmit. used granite grom wheels. insane speed. but built up way too much heat smoked the esc and motor

[nickhathaway]

That motor is small That's way I'm thinking about the 4400kv combo that motor is a 2860

[MadAl]

The 2 in1is not going to work on the typhoon grom everyone I have seen installed has failed either overheating or shaft breaks on the motor!

[GNCRC]

I’ve done that a time or tow or three or four or more! Keep the vids coming, new sub here
