NEW Furitek MINI KOMODO Brushless SCX24 Motor Upgrade - Install, Review, Crawling & More!

In this video I take a look at the brand new Furitek Mini Komodo brushless motor upgrade for the Axial SCX24. This is a new product in the Furitek brushless lineup, sitting in between the micro komodo and komodo in terms of size and weight. This is an outrunner motor with a futuristic and artistic appearance. I paired this with the Stellar transmission and the Fruitek Tegu24 pro. Check out the video to see how it performs!

Great camera angles Adam! you really get a sense of how steep those lines are. Plus the up close shots of articulation are amazing especially on those slopes!

[robertlawrence]

You've totally got me sold on this combo for several builds. Thanks again for another high quality informative video!

[sugatooth]

Wow, looks so good. I’d love to switch my Komodo with the mini in order to get some speed back and also save some room inside the chassis. Gladiator is back in action!

Awesome build..what length of shocks afe u using?

[farmboyrc]

I think this is my favorite motor so far! I like the looks way better! it looks smooth, and its smaller!

[CRAZYBUILD]

great motor and great products, but there customer service need to have a talk, 10 days now and still wating on replacment esc from them, , you did a very nice job with the

[SysTek]

Great video! Something some users might find useful is a direct comparison of the mini and micro komodos!

Side question: do you know if the 11T pinion gear for the TRX-4m would fit on the mini komodo shaft?

[thomasmerritt]

What did you have to change apart from the motor?

[basc]

Bought a mini Komodo months ago and was getting jerky glitchy feeling when I was 0 to 30% throttle range FOC. Anything after 40-50% throttle and it would perform as expected. I spoke to several people in the hobby and after spending hours and hours trying to tune it through the app I found the only thing that made it better was the following. FOC 10% Start up power very high. Punch 2. and the MAIN THING that changed it all was downgrading the updated firmware to version 1.7 from version 1.9. Running Lizard ultimate on 6.4V

Well now I have to have it. Great video.

For a hundred and nine dollars, it better be very impressive, it is beautiful as well ,

My micro komodo order was taking forever to ship, so I ordered the mini Komodo instead and I am glad I did. The smoothness and torque, not to mention how quiet it is, make this a huge upgrade over brushed motors. Would you still choose the micro komodo for smaller builds?

[MrsRabbit]

Hey do you think that this has the same hole pattern as the Cedar... for a center-mount raised Cedar motor that avoids the links on a LCG build?

[sly_fpv]

@CapeCrawlers Out of all the motors you've tested, which setup has the smoothest power delivery curve? Like least amount of jumpiness as you squeeze the trigger. Great videos btw, love the channel

So, I'm not sure if I went the right route or not. I took my wrangler and turned it into an MT24, I'd guess you'd say. I purchased the furitek lizard pro brushless conversion, but one thing I need help with. Mind you, I'm really new at doing all this, so please bear with me. It appears I'll have to run stock transmission, but I'm not entirely sure. Do I need to rebuild it with a metal case, or can I leave it as is and install the motor and esc into it. Or am I overthinking all of it. I replaced the motor in it twice, and I let the stock burn out and replaced it with an injora. It burned out with esc when I tried a slightly stronger battery. So I replaced it with the same type from injora. Everything else in it is metal other than the transmission case and the axels, but I just ordered some ported axels.
So if I lost you, which I do to people, I'm asking about the transmission replacement. Also, I was wondering about the shock setup for the MT24. I currently run 8 double barrels. It runs great but seems harder than what scale would be. Any ideas or thoughts would be highly appreciated by anyone. I'm open to any suggestions

[bobbysmith]

Looks great. What controller and receiver will work with this? I’m assuming my stock controller and receiver from my 1/24 wrangler won’t work ?

[mr.dillpickle]

Thanks for making the video!

I am planning to get this motor for my comp rig! Now that Amain has it, I should be able to get a deal soon! This video made me even more excited for it!
Reasons I would like to get it:
I'm building another rig that the Komodo will be better in
Need it smaller to avoid rubbing
Lower the center of gravity
Looks better
And I'm not a fan of the Micro Komodo, especially not for this rig

I asked you how the RCAWD portals are holding up, but are you still liking them?

Thank you sir!

[TheDanFromOz]

Hi Adam, good job fella! So do you think this mini Komodo combo would now fit directly into the SCX24 Bronco without having to cut the stock front chassis plate, like you needed to do with the Komodo?

[underarockandstuff]

Oh man that is beautiful. I just put the Komodo in my truck then you have to go and show me this haha.
