They weren’t too strong, yet brought our truck to a halt in a hurry. Driving our Radient powered Associated in the yard was quite the thrill, it always kept pulling, the front tires were nearly always in the air, and that big tree that was “far away” just a second ago is suddenly right in front of you.īrakes: When used in our 2wd stadium truck the Reaktor brakes felt awesome. But rest assured, if you are used to stock brushed power, the Radient Reaktor will easily make your RTR feel much faster, in both acceleration and in top speed (with proper gearing). Yes, the Radient has a lot of power on 2S, perhaps even more than you could ever use on a track, but no, its max power isn’t in the same league as some of the other more costly systems on 4-6S. Overall power- compared to a typical RTR stock brushed motor, the Radient has insane levels of power, but if you were to compare it to some of the other 540 non-sensored systems (on higher cells counts) it is not in the same league. The Radient has more than enough power to easily break the tires loose on demand, and more than enough to make monster sized jumps and pull decent wheelies. But, in mid to high speed sections there is more than enough power on tap to make all the crazy obstacles without issue. For example, because of the soft low-end, making short run doubles out of a corner can be harder than with other systems. Power: The Radient has plenty of pure power on tap, but to access it you’ll need to keep the revs up. The highest temp I measured was 110 F, that was after 15 minutes of running in grass, which is pretty much a torture test for any power system.Ĭogging: We did not experience any cogging with the Radient system. Thermalling: We didn’t have any problems with heat, but, the highest ambient temp we drove the Radient in was 50 F. If you are used to nitro or you are a long term brushless driver, you are used to “free wheeling” in neutral, therefore the built in drag brake will take some getting used to. If you are used to driving brushed motors it will feel about right. One last note on drivability here, the Reaktor comes with a small amount of drag-brake programmed in. The mid-range was where the Radient really started picking up the pace offering loads of usable power, and the top end just kept on pulling with robust power till the gearing topped out. Where as a typical non-sensored system punches you in the face off the bottom, the Radient was quite tame.

The upside is the super soft low end makes the Radient exceptionally drive-able for noobs. The Reaktor was so soft in the low end that it took a bit of getting used to for long time brushless drivers. There simply was no low end slap in the face, it was subtle and smooth. As far as the powerband goes, the low end was exceptionally soft, especially for a non-sensored system. Which is to say, it wasn’t buttery smooth like a typical sensored system would be, it was slightly rough, yet got going just fine.

How does the Radient Reaktor truly hold up? Lets find out…įrom: Fireland Group/HobbyTown USA, Radient RCĮase of Use: The manual was clearly written, calibrating and changing of the minimal settings turned out to be quite easy.ĭrivability/Feel/Powerband: From a dead stop, to lets say 2 mph, the Radient took off like an older Castle system. This 540 system should be an easy swap for RTR gear, and should instantly transform boring RTR power up to “Holy Cow this thing rips!”. The crew over at Firelands Group has a new entry level brushless system called the Radient Reaktor.

When that happens, boredom sets in, and a new brushless system goes on the wish list. Intro- There are a whole lot of noobs out there that have been driving their brushed powered RTR’s and have mastered the stock power system.
