Does it work with 4x4 slash vxl?
@@nathanbegay4095I don't believe the Slash has this feature. I think only the 4X4 Stampede, Rustler, Hoss & Xmaxx does.
First time seeing your channel, I do RC content on my friends acct. I’ve always wanted to review a toy to hobby grade conversion car. I really like how you made the rc with 3S, if I Pmed would we be able to set something up where maybe we could collab or do a car trade to help each others content out? Maybe do a special build? My friends channel is epiccw on TH-cam and the RC content playlist specifically is my expertise on the channel. Sorry to promote I just wasn’t sure how to shoot you a message to get your attention. lmk your thoughts always open to talk!
Hi, I'm new to this hobby, I'm torn between the bl-2s or the vxl, which do you think is better? Can they be modified so that both run faster?
Absolutely! Both are likely the most upgradeable RC systems you can buy. The only limitation is your time and money. The VXL adds many upgrades over the BL-2S so if the price difference isn't much, I would suggest getting that.
I have one and I try not to use that feature because it’s rough on my clutch. I’ve been using the same clutch for 3 years and i do all the wheelies and race cars but I don’t punch it from 0-50 I do like a rolling start or anything to help preserve my clutch because I hate tightening it and Traxxas parts are expensive and these trucks are an addictive money pit
I’m wondering how well this would perform in a very busy parking lot like a couple days before Christmas. 🤔
No doubt it will take a lot to have confidence in it's use particularly in busy or tight spaces! The 360 view and all the sensors helps with that as well as allows you to easily do it manually too.
That looks great bro
I put 9 v swap in mines 🎉
250 is nice for the ultimate
That looks cool🤔 maybe ill try that😂 but what voltage is the OEM battery? I have one but can't remembe what voltage was🫠
I believe it's the typical 7.2V. Good luck!
@@lesdmess845 thanks!! I just one to run it again stock for a little time before making something else with it🤣
Nice buy and nice run. What camera are you using
Thanks! I used my Samsung Ultra phone and I use the Gopro 7 for the in car video with GPS speed readings.
Dumbest feature Traxxas has.... use this to break your toy so you buy more traxxas parts!!! Lolol no thanks
Very neat!
I blow my drive shafts every time I hold that button.
I love my dumborc transmitters
Love this! Amazing Job 👍
The V stands for victory in Cadillac. It’s not a number.
@@raptor_some_kid_yt2084 interesting as AI states, "a tribute to post-World War II Cadillacs that had a V-shaped ornament below their crowned wreath logo" . . .
Wow I’m gonna use this paint scheme on an xmaxx body! Looks incredible
Thanks! I've since painted a couple other bodies and now I know that those hardware store special plastic paints are nowhere near as durable - adherence quality, as the Tamiya paints I used on this which has hardly flaked off!
Also u should get a begining rc plane like the sport cub 500 its small but good for beginners
At the rate I'm going, I may have to pickup more . . . 😉 I do want to get a small backyard flyer too. Something in that class.
Nice i got my first rc plane on my birthday
Which one did you get and have you flown it yet?
Could you elaborate on how you wired the light controller to the receiver? Im working on something very similar. The same body but on a kraton 6s!
Starting at 7:40, I show where all the lights go to the distribution board located on top of the top of the body. From there those lines go to the former controller board in the original New Bright RC. Instead I reroute those wires to the DumboRC X6DC (G) shown in 7:50. Did you want me to show the lines from the distribution board to the X6DC?
@@lesdmess845 yeah, I need help with finding out what wire corresponds to what function coming out of the distribution board. The PCB just has Chinese lettering on it next to each solder pad. I'm likely going to try and use a standalone light kit controller and wire it into the stock kraton receiver.
@@NachiRS2000 In my Community page, I posted a pic of the plug from the New Bright RC Forza Motorsport Cadillac V Series R light distribution that plugs into their board. I've identified the pinout. So you put + side to the bottom labeled +6V and if you ground "R Turn" the right turn light will turn on. Hope that helps.
@@lesdmess845 awesome, that's perfect. Thank you!
Is this what people do in 2024 you have to be kidding me
Well it is just fun and games after all 😆
Dont listen to david, good luck to you and most importantly have fun!
No worries as I enjoy the thrill of learning something new. Besides, far safer then learning to fly a real plane . . . 😁
do you know anything at all, about 'flying'. if not, search online for reliving the wright way
Only from YT and talking to a couple of well experienced RC flyers
CRINGE !!! before you destroy another model that you do NOT know how to fly, you should make and fly PAPER airplanes or cheap 'dime store' balsa gliders. in any case, you should be Trying to fly a low-mass model that flies slowly and can be controlled without ailerons. these are sometimes called a (three-channel) slow-flyer. (rudder/elevator/throttle) in order to not Need ailerons for turning, a model must have a sufficient amount of dihedral in its main wing. suggest you become familiar with slow-flyers via YT videos.
By all accounts, I not only managed to acquire the two best newbie flyers, but I got them used at great prices with insights from the previous owners. BTW, you can find many experienced flyers on YT that still experience flight failures. I've also talked to experienced owners that confirms this.
Imagine spending 5 hours to even think of what to write
Fingers crossed on this one!
Thanks! I'm hoping I won't be too surprised if it actually flies this time 😅
I don't want to sound mean but have you flown an RC plane before? If not have you spent time on a RC simulator? I would also get a gyro/stabilizer for all electric RC planes. They help with take offs and landings. Once the plane is in the air with some altitude you can turn it off to check any trim issues. It is much easier to fix issues at height then close to the ground. If it is really bad then you can flip a switch and turn the stabilizer back on. The gyro also helps make the RC more scale because it will fly a lot smoother. I had one on a EDF F-16 that was over weight and CG was off. With the gyro it would fly as smooth as could be but if you turned it off it would roll over and want to dive strait to the ground.
Real world simulation for me 😉 I didn't think those gyros helped takeoffs as I was under the impression that's the easiest portion! Will have to rethink that! I admit I've never flown an rc plane or simulator and bought this used cheap ($45) to try. I will have to buy a more expensive one with gyro for my next. Just like when I first bought a cheap drone then a DJI next!
Google P factor sir
Since the Flitetest article states this pushes the plane to the left but my plane went right must mean something else? This was a super cheap used rc ($45) so a new more expensive one should do the trick 😉
Oh no...😂 You will for sure get it next time
But not with this one as the rudder and elevator are gone. Still have all the electronics and remote though!
what if you do it if the car is already on his wheels or upside down leaning on 2 wheels instead of fully on the body?
Never tried it. It automatically stops once it's right side up so it must know the orientation.
@@lesdmess845 try it
I currently have a 4750kv motor mine but its cogging a lot before gaining any sort of speed. I'm looking for instant speed, What gearing do you use currently? The gearing I'm running currently is 21T Pinion to a 64T Spur. Something else is I have a issue with the dog bones constantly vetting jammed or just completely falling out. You have any recommendations to stop this from happening
geez idk what’s worse to buy a bl2s and upgrade it or get a ultimate and put the bl2s HD kit in both seem way to expensive
The BL-2S extreme heavy duty drive would've been great if it fit the older Slash but it does not. The BL-2S ESC & motor is perfect replacement for the older brushed system.
I did this with the E-Revo brushless Stock CVD Drive shafts they are vey weak made. I shattered 3 CVD drive shafts in one shot. The torque from the motor was insane.
I have the Summit which I understand shares these parts with the E-Revo and I was breaking CVDs and diffs. I'll accept the blame since I overpowered it 😆 I have since made it a crawler and it is great at it!
That was outstanding!
I'm sure the next attempt will be just as good 😅🤣😂
If I flew that it would definitely go in some water
Good thing this has optional floats available! Like that would have helped me . . . 😉
slow af
Intentionally for my conditions. Still slightly faster then BL-2S out the box at 2S. Faster yet at 3 & 4S.
How do you change it to a 3s
In first case, I upgraded the stock ESC to a 3S capable brushed ESC. In the second case - Arrma Vendetta chassis, I used a 2-6S capable brushless system.
Use a Arrma Vendetta on 2s
That's exactly what I did although the system I installed goes from 2 - 6S Link in the video.
Oh I didn’t know that
The diffs said wtf after this. 😂
Great run!!👍👍👍
Goodluck!
I'm gonna need it!
Cool video man ❤
This feature is hit or miss
yo tant cool m'y tires rare broken
Laziness, just walk to your car and turn it over. You’ll scratch it all over and cause unnecessary wear. But hey, gimmicks like this one sell.
You must be right as they just added this feature to the new 4X4 Rustler!
Looks Awesome!!👏👏👏😎😎😎
Thanks as it is my best yet!
Great video!! I was just thinking about a body for the vendetta!! I bought it when it was on sale. Good Job!!👍👍👍
I appreciate that! Bummed that I heard about that sale long after it was over☹
if only there was a way to replicate that V8 sound 😭
The original electronics does have sound but I haven't looked into driving it. There are audio boards with various sounds available that plug into the receiver . . .
Cool project
It's going to be a fine line between enough or too much speed . . . 😆
I feel for that gear box😢
This is how Traxxas is selling all the lazy people new diff's. The self righting feature absolutely destroys them.
Apparently a sales advantage as Traxxas added this feature into the new Rustler 4X4.
