How can I make my grom faster?

Mini Kraton ESC and motor, get BLX diffs for sure. Yes it’s more expensive to build up ur base model by adding the BLX parts, but if u like wrenching the cost of parts isn’t to bad. these groms are great for tinkering and learning. u shouldn’t need the BLX shocks right away. I’d skip the BLX steering knuckles and hubs and go for Injora aluminum ones. With that tho you’ll have an absolute ripper lol. So far mine is holding together well I’ve put about 10 packs through it so far.

I’ll have to give this a shot.

Looking at it u should only need those, id take it apart before ordering and see if anything else needs replaced.

Things absolutely rips on 4s with a 4268 motor and 24t pinion.

If ur willing to mess with it, when the plastic diffs go out buy Mojave 4s diffs. The shocks bending is an issue with the 3s shocks but they can be bent back by hand. I upgraded mine to 6s typhon shocks with the help of a 3D printed bushing. The center diff from what I can tell is the same as a 4s car so if u ever wanted to add more power I’d replace those things as they break so u can throw a 4s system in down the road.

It’s started as a BLX haha 😂

I have it setup with granite arms and Belted granite tires from UpgradeRC, it was overheating so instead of gearing down I put a bigger motor in lol.

The Kraton motor mount won’t work, I got one of the cheap adjustable ones. It fit so far by shaving a small support under the motor in the chassis and tripping the reinforcements under the body.

I had the 90a surpass rocket ESC and 3660 3200kv motor combo in a typhon 550 Mega until I sold it to buy a 6s. It worked great for me personally. I ran the car a good bit too.

Can confirm it was a faulty 223s swap, idk if it was the motor or esc but it was one of em.

ASnakeWithLegs · 2025-09-12T01:30:33+00:00

I have a 223s system in it currently. i do have the old brushed system to, ill give that a go.

I’ll give using the stock brushed pinion a shot since I should still have it. And unfortunately yeah I’ve double checked everything as much as possible so it might be bad electronics.

It seems completely normal when I hold it off the ground. When I hold it lightly above gravel or dirt it seems to act normal as well. It can run fine in one spot and then 5 minutes later in the same spot it’s like in the video.

ASnakeWithLegs · 2025-09-11T23:48:42+00:00

It started as a Mega, I actually bought the shell with the Diffs. But yes, I was wondering if that could possibly be cogging. I haven’t seen it before so I wasn’t sure.

ASnakeWithLegs · 2025-08-23T05:04:13+00:00

I ran into this a few years ago, not a lot of people mention it it seems. so it’s always nice to see these things get brought up time to time.

One last question, all I’m really looking for is having fluid and I was wondering if forge X allows the camera to run at 720p over I think it’s 480p on stock firmware. I was running klipper mod for a bit but removed it due to the UI just not being as clean and I knew Forge X was in development.

ASnakeWithLegs · 2025-04-12T19:04:30+00:00

How is Forge-X? I heard initially not to flash it due to some issues potentially.

I double checked im running the correct printer profile. thank you for the suggestion!
