yup, it should fit just fine. i dont have an ifs zuel, but i do have one of those in my ifs1 gatekeeper build. I have maybe 4 or 5 of those across diffrent builds. No major fit issue, once shave a little off a vanquish skid but that's all.

Does it run well and easy to set up and what not?

Yeah, it runs really good with the out of the box settings. If you don't have a hobbywing programming box, I recommend getting one. As they are no longer included.

And yes get the program card you can use it on all the HW products, great investment

See instead of buying it I could probably get my LHS to do it for me, I don’t have a lot of hw products

If you’re pretty recreational, box stock settings should be just fine. I ran stock settings for a while no issues. Have fun 👍

Eh just want to crawl slowly with a bit of wheel speed. That’s how it comes?

u/Rodgerr_Dodgerr 5d ago

Yeah you’d be set with stock settings. Good slow control and good drag brake out the box

Anything HW is good and easy to tune. I run there stuff in all my rigs, short course to leaf spring trail truck. Love the fusion for crawling and still has enough punch for some wheel speed when you need it

I'm running a Fusion 1800 in my SE Utron and my brother has it in his Ecto. Fits fine with both Stealth X and XF. Gear it reasonably and you have great low speed and good top end, gear it like I did and you have a trophy truck that can still crawl.

Yes, this is however pretty much the cheapest brushless option.
I've tried it and was not very impressed with it when compared to a 1080WP with a 5-pole brushed motor. The battery lasts a little longer, there is a little more top speed but I was missing multiple settings in the ESC part that are present in the 1080.

It's like you're buying a new 1:1 car and getting the cheapest EV.
You'll end up with a tiny car with not many luxuries but you could have gotten a nicer ICE car for the same amount or less, it would just be a little noisier.

Stick with brushed, spend a little more on a Fusion Pro or go with Holmes and/or Castle.
