Thanks for the feedback! If you want to see more content on the Hoss, check out Falcon’s personal channel (@FalconFireRC). There’s not much videos of it on there yet, but he’s got some stuff planned for it later this spring.
I just bought the hoss and I'm using the lectron pro 11.1v 5200 50c and I just feel like it's not using all of its power! Watching your video yours seems faster than mine! I've only drove my twice but the second time I really opened it up wide open and my stampede and slash is definitely faster but when I watch your video I'm thinking man his is moving just as fast as the stampede if not faster!! I believe I have my programmed in race mode but maybe I don't
It’s possible you have it in training mode. That cuts the power to half, so to check if it’s in training mode, just press and hold the button on the ESC until it turns green, then red, and then wait for it to blink once. Then release it, and it’ll be set in sport mode. Wait for it to blink twice if you want it in race mode, but all that does is disable reverse. It doesn’t make it any faster than sport mode. Also, if you live in a place where it gets cold for the winter (below freezing temps) your LiPO is probably too cold. LiPOs operate optimally in higher temperatures, so if the LiPO is cold, it won’t deliver as much power. It’s not going to damage the LiPO at all, but it will reduce the amount of speed and power your Hoss will have. P.S. You mentioned that your Slash is faster than the Hoss, so I’m gonna address that really quick. I don’t know what Slash you have, but I assume it’s probably a VXL since it’s faster than your Hoss. If you run it on 3S, the Slash will be faster, because it has a higher-kv motor. On stock gearing the Slash 4x4 VXL will go about 5mph faster than a Hoss, and a Slash 2WD VXL will got about 10mph faster. Hopefully this helps!
i just bought one and love it great video

Plug the battery in and push power button until it blinks one time and then let it go then its in sport mode
And he maybe has different gears

I had stock gearing (14/54) in this video
