Love how this video started. “Where here at the local elementary school with a bag of goodies”
Yeah, that isn't the first time this has been said. Lol. Man, it makes me look so bad. Hahaha what's done is done. Hahaha thanks for the comment.👍👊
Finally got a little road rash on your GPS. It's been cool to watch you grow and see your comfort level increase in front of the camera.
Yeah bro. Just have to let it all out at some point.
Feels good I bet to get out and drive em...lol My weather around here is so humid I want nothing to do with going outside.. Im in that crap all week long..nice run, digging new man cave..Have a good week ahead Ben :-)
Yeah, its hot and humid here too. I just couldn't wait anymore. Haha.have a good week, Ron.
Haha shady guy in sunglasses with a book bag full of “goodies” playing with toys in an elementary school parking lot... that won’t raise suspicion at all! 😜 Nice vid man thanks for sharing it 👍
Hahaha, good point. That was a funny comment. Thanks for watching.
Awesome. Thank you for the hospitality. You could always buy the cheaper brushed model and fix it up over time. May God bless you too my friend.
Had an original version back in 2010 when they first cane out. Little advice follow the gearing chart in the book for best results. You run the risk of burning up the esc if you don't. Best speeds and power I achieved was with a 3s lipo and the and Castles mamba micro pro ecs but once again gearing is key. Almost lost my whole truck when the ecs went up in flames. Best solution I have found so far is running the Traxxas Velineon 3500 Brushless Motor (3500Kv) on the stock ecs. This seems to have cut down the over heating issues and gained torque at the same time. Never got a top speed before I had an untimely collision with a stop sign that wiped out the entire front end and chassis.
Thanks for all the great info. Yeah, I have noticed that the esc and motor get pretty warm. Got to watch out for those road signs😂
@@BuyitBreakitFixit still have the 1/16 slash that I transfered motor and gearing to with same results.
Why would you run an oversized motor?
I have one of those! The Mini revo SMOKES on two 3s lipo with series connector. Im glad it has TSM. I put a second servo on and it helped a lot!
Wait a second, your running 2 3s lipos on it in series? that's 6s!!! how does it handle that? Any videos?
Buy it Break it Fix it
Im so sorry, I do not run them in "series". I meant I run two 3s parallel.
Its fast and I have an original Velineon VXL set up on the car.
I will talk to you about 6S next month when I pick up a UDR!
Oh, ok. Yeah if your running 6s on the udr, make sure to get some extra parts. Lol. I run 4s only and have not broken one thing, yet. Hahaha ive seen guys melt the drive shaft and the pinion housing on the rear running 6s. Good luck. Haha. Can always fix.
@@33fastcar i have a mini e revo and want to run 3s but what other parts to do i need to change?
Nice video. 2S was running nice but i think 3S is to fast for that little car 😕 it's starting to fly 😂
Great video, great message! If you get the optional open diff it wont wheelie anymore but handles like a dream, no more rollovers..
Really? I’ve never heard of that one. Tell Me more. I’m sick of going belly-up all the time and wheelies take away the fun from drifts and just punching the throttle.
@@leolux09 The open center diff is an optional upgrade from Traxxas, it wasn't very popular but it made the car so fun to drive.i have it on all three of my mervs . You can find them on ebay
I got a pinion gear for the two battery option. Any videos on how to install that?
Great video, Just what I wanted to know with the various batteries. Would be interesting to know how well it went if you chaned the pinion gear. Thank you for a good presentation
Thank you for the comment. Cheers
Great video my friend, great collection bro 👊😁👊
Thanks brother
Buy it Break it Fix it , your welcome brother 👌👊👌
Look at you with video of fixing all that fancy stuff looking good buddy
Haha. Noo don't look at me. Haha. Hey brother.
I’ve got a single 2s 1500 mah Lipo only getting around 5 min on brushless. Is this normal battery life for this thing or are my batteries just bad?
Was wondering if the c rating on the 2s might have something to do with the lower top speed
Could be.
I have one, but my tires popped what new ones should I get
just bought one of these and two stampede vxl 4x4. How long do those NiMH batteries last when run in series?
Zach Osborne its been a while since i had a full charge on them but if I remember correctly..about 15+ minutes. So long you will be worried about motor esc temp
How long does the 2s 2000mah last?
Where did you find the 3s and 2s batteries at?I just got a mini e revo but it's got a deans plug vs the original plug
My local hobby shop sells them.
So when using 2 NiMHs it's faster? How come? Shouldn't it just last longer? Oh and is there a way that it doesn't backflip with the lipo in there? I think this might be annoying.
Did you have to put the pinion gears for both Lipo and nimh batteries?and if so do you recommend me putting two or one 2s lipo battery in mine? It’s still stock I haven’t upgraded it yet I still have the stock pinion gear and everything is stock. What do you recommend me to do?
If would run 2nimh or one 2s. Either one or the other. Did not change the pinion in mine yet.
Cool speed runs. Your funny brother 😅
Hey. Thanks man.
I think I gonna get one of these. I wish you would do the same runs with the other pinion. I wonder how fast this little thing would go on 3S. Cool.
I will see what I can do. Sorry I haven't done that yet
Looks fun. I'll pick one up tomorrow.
Yes yes yes love the video man by the way I do plan on having a video where it's my mother driving my truck I just uploaded a video where it was me and my dad racing we had a blast I can see you had quite a bit of fun while you were out here and thanks for putting a smile on my face with this video man
Maximum RPM thanks brother. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I watch your videos, just been getting behind a little. Lol
No problem no sweat it's all good
I run a pair of 2s in series on mine and have been since i bought it new which was 13 years ago. still running stock motor, esc and drive train.
Timothy Tendick 4s.
Did you change the pinion as per the manual? Would it break if I don't?
in case anyone wondering 2s lipo is slower than NiMH in series, 2s lipo only 8.4 volts fully charged and the NiMH in series is 18 volts fully charged, the first pass or 2 with the NiMH should be faster than the 3s lipo but drops right away where the 3s lipo is about the same throughout and has more punch. The high speed pinion is actually slower as well as its only meant to be used to keep the electronics cooler using the higher voltage of the NiMH in series. If not doing speed runs, 2s lipo is plenty for offroading, plus will break less lol, Sounded like he stripped the diffs which its also recommended to shim the diffs. especially with the torque running 3s lipo has. Fun to drive none the less but id pick up a slash over this. Breaks too much 😂
Hey on the body clips give them up completely on the mini e revo put some sticky Velcro or hook and loop tape on the battery openings and the bottom of the body. I removed the body mounts completely and I love it. Thanks
diff gear problem on 3s battery is it?
How long do the two nimh batteries last for when both are used ?
If you use them in parallel it should close to double. In series not so long!
What did you get on the stock battery for speed?
I have not tried an speed run with this car so, I don't really know. Sorry
What kind of tape did u use to stick it to your car?
I used servo tape I bought at my hobby store, which is just double sided tape but a lot stickier.
Just got my second battery and series connector for my 1/16 slash Mark Jenkins... Have new wheels and Velineon motor/esc on, can't wait to try it.
Have fun with it and buy some spare parts...
@@BuyitBreakitFixit yeah just thinking that... Imma need some knarly cooling too, after 5-10 minutes of running my motor and ESC are the hottest they ever have been.
Yeah, for sure on the cooling. It will definitely fry an egg. Lol. I add a fan to the top of my motor with double sided tape that the body holds on. Seems to help but I don't run mine like that a lot.
Do u need change the pinion to run it on 2s?
I didn't and it seems fine. I think it runs great on 2s with stock gearing.
My ESC is been shutting down when I run it on 2 NiMH in series. Any suggestions to prevent this?
It runs fine on other batteries?
Calibrate the ESC just watch a video on youtube
could be overheating
great video 👍 I absolutely love mine, it's perfect for crazy bashing and speed runs too
They are good all around cars. What do think that clicking was? Diffs?
Buy it Break it Fix it funny thing is, I was wondering that myself, not sure. I've had mine for a little over a year and I try to bash everyday, usually I average about five to six times a week. I've actually only had one breakage so far, just one toe link 😀 I run both 2s and 3s. very durable in my opinion 👍
Nice run looked fun...time 2 fix and repeat
I so happy it broke. Lol now i get to fix it. Hahaha.
What the avrage battery run time on the stock ones
Think I am getting around 15mins of run time.
How long can i use the batteri til it dies on 1 full charge
Great video Ben this was cool to watch,man the 1/16 was screaming around that lot. It may be official you've gone mad!? Maybe put some weights in the front to keep down for better traction and steering.👍
Jahmen RC thanks brother. Yeah good idea with the weights.
I have had some breakages with my mini erevo but overall it’s a nice little machine!!
What issues have you had? Anything that should be upgraded? Ive been looking into buying one
NH Offroad suspension arms breaking. Gears binding. Tires pulling off the wheel. Driveshaft breaking. I don’t know probably the arms are the most important thing. I put RPM arms on mine.
How did you put the fan on the motor
just a fan from turnigy. snapped right on the motor. helps a lot.
Does just one LiPo battery make it run faster? Or do you need two? Also, do you need to change the pinion gear for one LiPo?
One 3s will make it faster but two nimh packs in series together would be more juice than one 2s pack. No pinion change needed.
@@BuyitBreakitFixit Great thanks mate!
How long would the 3s run time ?
I have not timed it yet but if I had to guess, maybe about 10-15 mins.
Can you run two 2c lipos on a mini e revo.
In parallel, yes just not in series. The esc handles a max 3 cell lipo.
do you have a center diff in there? if not do you strip your back diff alot?
It is all stock still. The only thing that is getting stripped is the spur at this point.
@@BuyitBreakitFixit ohh okay
Question, I just got one and I am using a 2s but I can’t get it to wheelie like yours. I can get it to lift up only about a inch or 2. How did you get it like that?
The NiMH packs run in series produce more than 1 2s pack. Other than that, not sure. If I did it in the video with 2s and it did that. It is all stock.
Buy it Break it Fix it, right but unless I’m mistaken yours in the video wheelie’d good with the 2s also.
@@msher1438 maybe, it's been a while since this video was uploaded. I can't remember.
Buy it Break it Fix it it’s doing better now. I had to let the battery break in.
what 2s battery is that
Which 3s battery is it
I'm trying to get one soon, I have a traxxas car already but still not good with batteries. I like how the first batteries you run go (tje traxxas ones). are they the same stock one that comes with it so I can order a second one?
Dont get traxxas batteries. Go with batteries that have a universal plug
@@peytonberg7872 ok, thanks!
I got to get one of these brother, great video, and thanks for the shout out, I truly appreciate you bro
ACES on the Go my pleasure brother. I appreciate you watching my videos bro.
whats the name of the first battery he ran ?
The 3s is a Lectron pro and the 2s is an onyx.
I recently came up on a erevo 1/10 scale for little under 500 shipped. A I. Google. Says it's not recommended to put two. Lipos in it. Is this true?
This is true. it will only handle up to 3 s. Even at 3s it cannot really handle the power and usually shreads the diffs. 2s is fun and doesn't kill it every time you drive it. Thanks for the comment.
What 2s battery did you run ? I'm not liking the nickel batteries just bought 1 today
I have a Onyx 2000mah 35c 2s battery. It does good.
@@BuyitBreakitFixit thank you!
This was with the completely stock pinion gear? Not the 50+ one?
Stock gearing he said in the beginning
Nice runs! At least the Merv held up for the speed trials! Crazy clicking!... Give aways?
Hahaa. Yeah it needs some parts now. Yes, giveaways. My next video is my 100th. Maybe a giveaway? Hmmm. Clicking kinda sounds cool. Lol
Just curious, what run time did you get with the 2s battery? I am thinking of getting one for my brushed 1/16 slash. Thanks!
Sorry, not really sure about run times. I didn't keep track of that. If I had to guess, maybe 10mins or around that time.
Buy it Break it Fix it oh ok, thanks for the reply! 2s would be fine with the brush motor right?
Yeah man. Should handle it just fine. Sorry I don't have run times for ya. Maybe something for me to do in the future.
@@BuyitBreakitFixit Yeah it would be cool to see a run time comparison between the NiMH and the 2s versus the 3s
I will see what I can put together but it will be a couple weeks. Going out of town next week and have 5 videos that I currently need to do. Lol.
Nice run
Thanks
Good video Ben what you been up to ?.... I got my two mini e Revo VXL’s going 55.2 mph lol.
Hey man. Been doing ok just doing my thing. lol wow, that is fast for that little thing. good job.
😊👍Give aways.... give aways... Those nim packs may be toast if you don't constantly give them some charge every couple weeks they self drain fast and if they are not maintained properly and left without charging the voltage of the cells goes so low that when you try recharging them they don't work good no more because the cell voltage most likely got so low they reversed and then the packs toast when that happens.
Yah, i figured they was something like that with the batteries. Thanks for the info. Nothing like getting something for 100% free brother. Its an amazing feeling. Even better to be able to do that for someone.
I have that same connect but it doesn’t work for me but I have the other connect that does work for me
You know what, 4th vid I’ve seen of yours this week so f*** it I’m subscribing! You remind me of my older brother😲 Brother from another mother 🤜🤛 lol good vids man
Haha, thanks bro. Appreciate the sub. I am just q good ole boy, playing with toys. Haha thanks for the comment too. 🙏👍👊💯
Hi! Im new to rc. Which is faster series or parallel batteries?
Series will double the power, parallel will double the run time. Great question, thanks for watching.
Buy it Break it Fix it Thanks so much.
Good video where do you get your fans, I need to get one for my rustler stadium truck
That was just a fan that my local hobby shop had on the shelf. It has "R1" on the side. Nothing else. Hope that gives you some kind of lead on the search. Also it measure 30mmx30mm. And 15mm thick.
Nice setup
Thanks. Little thing thing is insanely fun.
Where can I get the fan?
I picked up the fan at my local hobby shop. It plugged right into the receiver. Sorry, I don't know the size, I don't have it anymore. Also, I just wiped the motor case with some alcohol and used some servo tape to attach it. Hope that at least gets you in the right direction.
What size are the threes
Do you mean mAh? The 3s I use is a
Lect4on Pro 50c 1800mAh. Thing is ridiculous on 3s, be prepared for broken parts. Thanks for watching.
what fan is that?
Some fan that the guy at the hobby shop said was good. Not sure what name brand. Sorry
Im having a hard time choosing between the UDR or XMax. Im getting one of the two. I'll make up my mind by then, I hope!
Well of course you need both. Haha. Udr is a great fun truck but its not an x maxx. Two way different machines in my opinion. I would start with the x maxx. Personal opinion.
I bought a used one and my 3s lipo battery only last 5 min per charge is that normal?
Lots of different factors there. How many MAh is the battery? What gearing are you running and how much are you hitting full throttle. The batteries are small so it will get you 10-20 mins of run time.
@@BuyitBreakitFixit it is 1400 MAh I am running stock gearing and yes I am using full throttle most of the time.
Velcro good substitute for body clips on 1/16. Right on side of battery doors.
Hello can i plug in two 3s battery?
Don't do that. You'll probably start a fire
Is this on One 3S Lipo or dual 3S Lipo in series?
One 3S Lipo.
@@BuyitBreakitFixit Can you link me the 3S Lipo battery you used in the video?
Hi, I also have one of these one 3s and one original battery.Do u really have to push that button when changing from nimh to Lipo? Why is that and what happens if u dont change that setting because I had no idea about this before watching this video. Anyways good video!
When the esc is on LiPo mode it has a low voltage protection so it doesn't drain the battery below unsafe levels. When red and on nimh, it does not do that.
@@BuyitBreakitFixit Ok, good to know, thanks man
😂 He said he waa at the elementary school with a bag full of goodies.🤣 I'm sorry i couldn't help it.😁 Awesome runs man and jp btw. Whayever you do though do not put on the sunglassea.😆
Hahaha, yeah the sunglasses complete the weird guy look at the school. Hahaha. Thanks for watching and commenting.
ENJOYED THE VIDEO MAN. AWESOME!!! -GIVEAWAYS?!
Thanks. Appreciate the comment. Yeah, we do giveaways from time to time.
brushed motor?
This is the vxl so it is Brushless. Thanks for watching
So with the 2 normal batteries with that wire you can run on the gear that the car was setup with or I have to change it with the one that came in the box ? I’m new at this and learning.
The gear that comes with the car is an optional speed gear. It will make the car much much faster. Should only use it if attempting to do a speed run. The wires that I have are a parallel wire and a series wire. The parallel guves you more run time and the series will double the power of the battery. If that makes any sense. The voltage increases with the series connection.
Great video
Thanks. Appreciate you watching
I’m getting the e-revo 1/16 VXL but I want the e-revo 2.0 but I couldn’t find it on there website can someone help me
Edit: or at least tell me what the price is so if it’s too expensive I don’t waste my time “researching” and trying to find it
Here is a link to the erevo 2.0.
m.traxxas.com/products/landing/e-revo/
I retrained them before. I charged them and used them for a few minutes, then I forced them to charge again. They get up to about 8.39 volts and then slowly lose power as they run.
What’s the difference between this e Revo and the the cheapest one?
One is brushed (cheapest) and the other is brushless.
In easier words brushless is faster and brushed is slower
I did not know you could use the new ID connectors wiry the old trx. This is gonna save me from switching the one on my esc after buying a new set of nimh batteries and them being the newer id batteries.
Good info to know. Saving money on these expensive batteries is always a plus in my book. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Thanks for watching.
thank u!
Is this a brushless motor?
Yes. The stock vxl
Dont flatter yourself! You look shady and sketchy without the glasses too. Thats what I/we like about you! Good video
Pinion and spur ?
I think this is the stock spur with the speed pinion that the brushless model comes with. I could be wrong, it has been a while since this video.
I want a merv!! I hope they come out with a mini Erevo 2.0 👍😁
They finally did... Its just a new body far as i can tell tho lol
Were did you buy the 3cell battery?
My local hobby shop sells them. It is a Lectron Pro shorty pack.
What is the hobby shop called?
@@compa_tilin4288 Hobby Hangar located in Chantilly, Virginia
Is this brushed motor
This is brushless
Awsmome car man
Thanks. It is so much fun. Thanks for watching.
How did you connect a 3s lipo to the xl2.5 esc? I bought 2 3s lipo batteries and the caw won’t move, only steer… please help
Just hook it up. Make sure you have low lipo mode on first. 3s is very hard on the car.
@@BuyitBreakitFixit the problem is that the esc won’t stop flashing green and red.. I have now researched that the 2.5xl esc can only take up to 2s? Your one just worked straight away?
Yours is the brushless version? If not, then, no, it will only take 2s. Needs to be the brushless for the 3s to work.
@@BuyitBreakitFixit how do I check which one it is?
What color is the motor? Blue is the brushless.
Holy shit that things fast
What fan is that? how have you mounted it?
Jay's Tech and Toys its just a random fan i bought at the hobby shop. I have it double sided taped to the motor and the side of the receiver box.
Does it cool well? Should it push air towards the motor, or suck out air away from the motor?
Jay's Tech and Toys I have mine pushing air to the motor. The fan for mine runs faster when installed that way.
Buy it Break it Fix it thank you.
Man did u just zip tie your fan on the side of the motor.ive been looking for a fan most are junk. I was thinking about doing the same ,do you think it helps alot. Thanks man
I used double sides tape and yes, I think it makes a difference. Thanks for watching.
@@BuyitBreakitFixit thanks man ,good idea
Did u wire the fan into a switch then into the esc with a plug ,??
GET READY FOR THIS! *downloads Space Jam.
I have a 16th slash but I don't run in series mine is parallel
Yeah, series is just too much
You are funny man. Even more wild than me. I know you're smoking down. I need to get back into makin rc videos but im waiting for my daughter to get older. Shes not ready yet, couple more years and I'll get a a slash vxl. I just have a speed modded stampede doing 85 on 120 amp hobbywing system with 3674 2650 kv motor. Grp tires with j concepts hi flow speed body. Running 26/34 mod 1 gears with grp tires. It has all rpm upgrades with -3° camber in the rear. Oh it has the the bad ass savox coreless digital servo 1256tg. Its decent. I probably can get 100 but 85 is good enough for me with roads around me. I added some weight to the front and balanced wheels with trackstar tire balancer. Thats about it oh and batteries are parallel 2 2s 7600 mah gens ace 50c. I also have dual 2s 90c 7600 but makes no difference
Holy cow dude. Sounds like a beast. Mine will do 50ish and that is plenty fast for me. Lol. I plead the 5th on the smoke comment.😉 get back out there man, make some videos and memories and most important, make time to have fun in life. It is way too short.
Can you charge the 3s lipo battery on the traxas charger?
Sure can.
Buy it Break it Fix it, will the e revo be fine if you run a 3s lipo on it or is it not good for it?
@@jeremyknobel279 it will handle it but....it gets hot, quick, and the internals(diff gears/spur gear) take a beating. The most fun I have is 2 NiMH batteries in series.
Buy it Break it Fix it thank you
Hi there! Really like your videos! 👍 How do you power the fan that you have attached to the motor? Directly from the Lipo / NiMH battery?
Thanks for the great comment. I plug it directly into the receiver in an open channel. It doesn't require much power.
Can I use two 2s lipos on the e revo????
Sure can. Can use up to a 3s with the stock electronics. Thanks for watching.
So I can I use one 2s 2200 mah on either side with no problem
Yep. Either side.
